Local Democratic workers are con fident of success for the whole Dem ocratic ticket as The Farmer goes to press this afternoon. A careful can vas of the 12 voting districts by Farmer reporters and statements from men prominent in the Demo- cratic and other parties seems to show that this prophecy of victory is well founded.
 The day dawned cold and dreary and a cold rain fell until nearly 8 o'clock. The workers for all parties said that this weather condition was responsible for the fact that a small CT vote than usual at municipal election, was cast during these hours. Later the rain ceased, the sun came out, and although a'coId wind blew all day the voters seemed to come out with the sun and by noon most of the district workers reported that they were getting out the full Demo- cratic vote.
 The e1ection. this year is most pecu- lar. Few men remained about the polling places to discuss the issues. Most of the voters came and register ed their ballots, stopped for a mo- rnent or two to exchange a word with an acquaintance and then went on about their business.
 Although the Democratic workers are aware that there was some cut ting going on in the various districts they are hopeful for success because of the personal popularity of MT. MuI- lins and because it is known that he has many Republican friends who have declared their intention to vote for him. In all the districts today Re- pub1icans freely admitted that many who usually vote the Republican tick ct were casting their votes this year for MT. Mullins. It is believed the Republican endorsement MT. Mullins and his running mates receives will more than offset any cutting that is

Commission Government
 Issue In Pennsylvania

Philadelphia, Nov. 4-Election day weather was fair and warm through out most of Pennsy1vania today. The vote for superior court judges on the non-partisan ballot was light during the early hours but in most of the % cities where so-caIled commission gov ernInent is to be installed, in certain boroughs where commission govern ment is being voted on the poll was fairly heavy. County Judgeship fights in some places also livened up the vot- ing.
 In Phi1adelphia's city election a heavy poll was looked for. The vot- ing centered largely about councilmen and the county offices, the reform ad- ministration under the leadership or Mayor BIankenberg endeavoring to gain, through a Fusion movement, control of city councils.

JERSEY VOTE HEAVY
 AS DAY ADVANCES

Trenton, N. J., Nov. A-Voting for governor and members of the general assembly was brisk in some parts of New Jersey for an hour or two after the polls opened, but in the greater part of the state 1t was light. The weather is fair and warm. The man agers of the three candidates for gov ernor expect there will be heavy vot- ing toward the end of the day and they are planning to get out every vote possible.
 7 The total registration is about 6e.OO0 short of the 420,Oo0 votes cast last fall for the presidential candidates.
 Reports from different parts of the state in the early afternoon showed heavy voting considerin the light registration. This was particularly so in Hudson county, home of James Fielder, Democratic gubernatoria1 candidate, and Eessex County, where Everett Comby, the Progressive nom- inee lives.

His Mail Order Wife Not Up To
 Specifications City Court Prisoner Accounts DOIefuI Tale When Tried
 For NOn-Support. PARCEL POST BRIDE
 NOT SOUND AND KIND And She Preferred the Com pany of Son By Former
 Marriage to Her
 New Home.

Honesty in advertising should be fn- sisted upon, particularly in regard to matrimonial matters, in the opinion of William A. Gorham of 457 South ave- nue, who was arraigned before Judge Frank. L. Wilder in City court this morning on a charge of non-support, his wife, Annie M, being the com plainant. He is not at all backward in expressing his views upon court ing by correspondence and charac- teriZes his experience as terrible one" Particularly does he refer to the day as an unIucky one for him when he saw a matrimonial adver- ttsement'' about Is months ago, more un1uclxy when he decided to answer one and a greater victim of fate when he won the consent of his fair cor respondent to an early wedding. They were married. His appearance this morning is but another incident, he says, of an eventfu1 experience.
 William greatly amused the court attaches with recounting his tale of woe and intimated that he would tell more at the continued hearing, sched- uled for November II. Until a short time ago he was a. successful painting contractor of Athol, Mass, where he enjoyed married life for 24 years. Then his wife died. It was lonely for him and for this reason an advertise ment attracted him. A lonely woman wanted companion. He thought 1t would be nice to have g. companion himself and was attracted by the de- scription. PhiIosophica11y he explain ed that he courted her by correspond ence for six months and only saw her once. Then came the wedding. His troubles began then,-he says.
 4 He is so ungallant as to accuse Mrs. Gorham of making him a victim Of fraud concerning heS age. According to his story, she said that she was 54 years old. He believes that she is older and admits that she did not ap- pear to be even the age claimed be- fore the wedding.
 Continuing in his narrative, he says that she informed him that she had been married before but now, he says, he has found that she was married twice before and divorced both times. He finds some consolation in not be- ing the only one. Another warped part of the advertisement, according she was extremely healthy. Since he knew her, he says, she has had to con suit a physician many times He be- Heves that the advertisement was a little off in this detail.
 Shortly after their marriage, she began nagging about a visit to a son in Milford, according to his story, and finally to pacify her he decided to avoid further trouble. Down they came but did not return. So well did she lik Milford and Bridgeport, he says, that refusal was ma, e in reply to all suggestion that they return home He was persuaded to settle in Bridgeport. But he found it more diff hcuIt to get work at his trade in Bridgeport, he says, because he was not a union man. To crown all of the troubles, came the arrest for non- support.

DERBY MERCHANTS WILLING TO MEET
 INCREASED RATES
Association Goes on Record As Tn Favor of Allowing New Haven Road to Readjust
 Charges.

Derby, Conn, Nov. 4-The Derby Disbursements Association believes that the New York, New Haven SS Hartford Railroad should be allowed to advance it's freight tariffs in order to allow it to meet increased trans portation charges. This belief is em- bodied in a resolution adopted, last night, at a meeting of the association and which declares:
 That it is the sense of this associa- ton that in view of the largely in creased cost to the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company, of transporting both merchandise and passengers, the privilege shouldn't be denied them of so adjusting their rates as to make receipts equal expend1- lures, leaving a reasonable margin of profit to the investors in it's stock
 The meeting of the association was held in response to a call sent out nv the State Busin essmen's Association on the first of the mont stating that the state association had received in- formation that a raise on the freight tariffs on various commodities would

done.
 It seems to be the general con census of opinion that the contest lies between MT. Mullins and Mayor C1if- ford B. Wilson, the Republican can didate for reelection. In only one district was any real Socialistfc ac- tivity reported and that was in the Second precinct of the 18th where 1t was said the Socialists were getting out their full vote.
 Although Jasper NcLevy, the So- cialist candidate for mayor boiled mora than 5000 votes in 1911 it was freely estimated today that the Socialist can didates will not receive half that number at this election. Tn the Fifth. Ninth and Fourth districts it is said the Socialists had no workers at all
 Democratic workers in the Twelfth district confidently declared that in spite of the activity of the Socialists tbere that Frederick Cederholm, the Socialist alderman, would not be re- turned and that Charles J. Poole, Dem ocrat would be the next alderman from that district.
 In may districts members of the Progressive party openly declared that they were voting the Democratic tick et The most active of the Progres- sive workers freely admitted that their candidate, Horace H. Jackson, did not have look in and they therefore threw their votes to Mullins and the Democratic candidates.
 Anything to beat the Republican, was the slogan of the majority of the Progressives. MT. Jackson himself seemed confident that he would run g. good second if he was not elected. Men who profess to be familiar with poll tics in Bridgeport scoffed at this state ment, however, and number of bets were made in the center Of the city today that Jackson and the Progress sive candidates would not receive 800 votes.
