DEMOCRATS IN
COMBINATION
CARRIED DAY
How Stiles JudsOn Sees The
Election In Old Stratford
Town
To the Editor of the Bridgeport
Elarrnar SIR

The publication in the Morning
Telegram concerning the Stratford
election, and referring to the defeat
of Charles H. Welles, and the fact
that supported him, with the insin-
uation it carries, demonstrates a mis-
conception of the facts.
The only candidates for first Sc
lectmen who had sufficient votes to
be on the election lists were Charles
H. Welles, a Republican, anu DR.. Cur
ttss, a Progressive. The Democratic
party were deprived of any candidate
for first se1ectman.
Democrats seldom vote for can
didate of the Republican party, but
vote for any candidate in the field
other than a Republican.
The only candidate available to
them to vote for then was the Pro-
gressive candidate, which the average
Democratic voter did, notwithstand-
ing repugnance to any such party as
that, but preferable to them to a Re-
publican.
If the Telegram will look at the
record of the vote in its published
article, and notice the normal vote
cast for minor town officers, where
no particular contests were made, he
will find the normal Republican
strength, and will see that by this, the
only fair test Of Republican strength,
that Charles H. WelIes not only had
ticket, Notwithstanding my support.
To illustrate in gentle words of wis
dom, see the following votes for Of
fcers that afford the test, namely:
E. P. Billiard. Board of Finance,
333. Mr.. Billiard is a man esteemed
throughout the town, and it is a mis-
fortune to the town that he failed
of election.
Assessors are a fair test. W. H
Crawford, a popular man, po1led the
full Republican vote of 1886.
Board of Relief, Edward H. Beers,
another popular young Republican,
polled 329.
Town Treasurer, Mr.. Jewell has
been reelected for years, and de-
servedly received votes outside his
party, but only polled $50 votes.
Auditor, Gilbert 6. Edwards, an
other popular Republican candidate,
received 301 votes.
Grand Jurors. Clifford Kearney,
299 votes, Samuel c. Lewis, 3O4 votes.
Constables, George r. Fryer, $50
votes, W. E. Bassett, 329 votes.
Against this array of 326, Mr..
Welles received $40 votes

New York, Oct. 7-One of the most
important ecclesiastical gatherings In
recent years will be the meeting OF
the house of bishops and the house OF
deputies in the triennial general con-
yention of the Protestant Episcopal
church. The sessions of the conVen-
ton begin on Oct. 8 and last for three
weeks or more and will be attended
by a notable gathering of clergymen
and laymen from this country and
abroad. Meetings will be held in the
new Synod hall, on Morningside
heights, and the most important ser
vices in the Cathedral of st. John the
Divine. The present membership of the
house of bishops is 115, and the pre-
siding bishop is the Right Rev. Daniel

Important questions to come before
the convention make this the most
significant gathering that has been
held in many years. Among the no
ia bles who take part is Bishop William

NO PAY INCREASE
FOR MEMBERS OF
GENERAL ASSEMBLY

The amendment increasing the pay
of members of the General Assem- bly,
was overwhelmingly beaten, yester-
day. In 10Y towns 1855 persons voted
yeas and 20, 5S8 voted no. Fairfield
county was the only county in the
state to favor the amendment. The
largest majority for it was in Bridge
port, where the vote was 837 for to 333
against. The vote was small, reaching
perhaps one-f1fth of the vote usually
cast election day. It was, however,
many thousands larger than the vote
cast in 1918, when the present consti-
tuition was ratified.
The special election in Bridgeport
cost about $500. Polls closed at 5
o'clock.
The vote by districts in Bridgeport
follows.

Good range of
women S suits
at SIS to $25.

No lack Of goodness or variety for
the woman who wishes to choose a
suit at $15 to $25. Instead great va
riety and correct style and good
quality and careful tailoring. Suits
to be bought at these prices are pick
ed by the store just as carefully as
the exclusive fine models. It might
be fair to say they were picked even
more carefully-for you may depend
upon a tailor to make his finer suits
right; and you may have to watch
him closely to see that those lower in
price measure up to the standard.
The Rowland store has a standard
and it is not low. Every suit must
measure up to it. These suits do.
And women who choose from the
gathering of now will find them very
desirable.

that the small purse was missing. She
turned back, lost her way and at $3.50
