men and women who are compelled TO
work during the day and who yet long
for higher education. The gate is by no
means shut to them. Most OF the edu-

evening and night courses in practically
the same subjects as those taught dur

ATTEMPTS TO WIPE OUT HIS
FAMILY WITH GAS

FAMILY WITH GAS
The high cost of living proved too
much for Miklay Gajdorowicz and he
tried to take his family out of the
struggle via the gas route.
The man is the owner of a small
candy store at 1888 N. Ashland ave-
nue.. With his wife and her 15-year-
old son by a former husband he lives
in the rear of the store.
This morning he closed and locked
all the doors, then turned open the
gas jets. He restrained his wife and
the boy by waving razor. In that
manner he held them there until
weakened by the gas he slipped to the
floor unconscious.
Even then they may not have been
saved owing to the weakened condi-
ton of the woman and the boy, but
John Olinski, a policeman, who was
passing, heard the scream and kicked
down the door.

and in Dorchester tonight in behalf o
Charles S. Bird, Progressive candidate

There is much talk in various
quarters concerning consolidation

tingnished gentlemen arc coming
into your state from different
quarters of the union to tell you
that one Of the older parties, to
which many of us belonged prior
to last June, is to be reformed
within itself.
First, they admit by the very
suggestion the necessity Of reform.
Next, when any Of them have to
present to you any of that sort of
siren song we have heard all over
the land Of late, we should be glad
if any one would ask them what
they are going to reform, and
whether they expect Progressives

west, who have gone through the
fire for Progressive principles, TO
become connected again with the
parties of Mr.. Barnes of New

vania, Of Mr.. Murphy Of New
York, and of Mr.. Taggart of In
diana. Unless they are able to
demonstrate that they are going to
proceed without the so-called and
self-appointed leaders Of these
parties, it is useless for them or
any others TO talk concerning con-
solidation or amalgamation.
We of the west, whenever the
suggestion has been made to us
that there should be consolida-
tion or amalgamation, have asked
in every instance why we should
amalgamate or consolidate. The
answer has been, "amalgamation
to win. Our answer back has
been, where we have made the fight
and won, "that we would rather
be defeated with our principles
