Saturday. Thither also came Will
Smith and Tom Chapman, two
other candidates, both of whom
seem absolutely sure of success.
Were it not for the illusions and
delusions and ConfuSions and in
trusionS and conclusions and illu-
Sions and protrusions and collu-
Sions therein, this candidating
would be dry work.
Wouldn't this be a slow old
world if all the knockers were
dead?-which will never happen.
Trying to work without their bump
is trying to sit by an open fireplace
in which there is a heap of chunks
without giving them a kick. And
just as the fire burns brighter and
the sparks fly higher after a severe
punch from the poker or a stout
kick of the right boot, so the sparks
of success and enthusiasm of a
working man will ascend higher
and higher, thicker and thicker;
the more he is knocked on by these.
fellows. There is probably one ex-
ception to this rule, and that lies in
the man who is not worth a cuss
and is running some nefarious con-
cern, or running nothing to any ad-.
vantage, and that fellow is never
knocked. But for our knockers we
would yet be as ignorant as they.

Investigation by Farmer Representative in Hartford DiscIOses Strange Mix-up Be- tween Offices of Expressing Clerk
 and Secretary of State

to File 47O, substitute for Senate Bill 271.
 The amendment provides for chang ing the word bond" to the word note in lines, 5-14-15-2O-22-2 of Section of the substitute. Certain ensures were made in the amend. ment at the time of it's preparation. At some other time and SVith a diff ferent pen, the words ''to substitute for" have been crossed out but the amendment would not apply to any section of any other bill relating % the matter
 The bill which is attested in tbs office of the Secretary of State as having been passed with the amend ment does not contain 24 lines in Sec ton 6 and the word bond does not occur in the lines mentioned in the amendment. Section 6 of the enzross- ed bill would only be in its present form by the addition thereto Of Sec tion of the substitute bill as amend ed.
 The original Senate bill on the mat ter was numbered 2z1 while Senate Bill 2z1 as passed by the General As sembly is an act relating to the State Board of Charities. Tie bill as amend ed was printed but cannot be found
 The original bill haS been stamped as passed The committees report which apparently Accompanied the bill has the word 'Fassed' crossed out and the letters "R. S. accepted" writ ten in, which is taken to mean that the report on the substitute bill had been accepted
 The bill which was signed by the governor and sent to City Auditor Keating is the original measure which the Bridgeport delegation in the Gen eraI Assembly insisted should be amended, with the amendment az at tested by MT. Wilson of Bridgeport attached. But MT. Wilson's amend ment had no application on the ori- gina1 bill as the amendment was framed for the substitute bill
 Senator Archibald McNeil, Jr., said today:
 ssEarIy in the session of the Legis- lature the Bridgeport members got to- gether and decided on what shouId be done regarding pavement. When the bill came in, it was not what we had agreed on at all and the hill was sent back for corrections and reVisions- When the bill appeared asecond time there were many typographical errors in it and it was again reconsidered for corrections.
 'HThe bill as finally passed by the General Assembly had been amended to meet the views of the Bridgeport legislators. It was not the bill which Governor Baldwin signed and which has been sent to .City Auditor Keat- ings.
 T have no idea how this bill. which is the original bill that the Bridge port legislators insisted should be amended, came to be signed by the governor. I do not think there has been any trickery. I am rather i'm cIined to take the charitable view of the matter that with much backing and filling over the original bill the clerks were confused and they stamp ed the wrong bill as the one which the legislature passed%

 COLES AT HANOVER

Hanover, N. H.; July 8.-President Wilson tried another golf links today, this time the nine hole course at Dart mouth College. He left Cornish early and motoring thirty miles over Green Hills and valleys, arrived here before noon.
 The college town is filled with sum mer school students and some of the tco-eds'' ripped enthusiastically across the links to greet the Presi- dent From the roadway groups of towns folks watched the play.
 The President played fair game but found the links much more dif- ficult than the Woodstock course, where he was yesterday. Dr. C. A. Grayson was again his opponent There were no caddies about when they arrived and a secret service man and one of the chauneurs volunteered sOr the task

THOUSANDS WILL MARCH AT
 CORNERSTONE LAYING OF
 ST. JAMES CHURCH SUNDAY

by their priests to take part in the exercises in Stratford In the afternoon. 1t is anticipated that thexe will be at least 20, ,O00 visitors in StTatford at the cornerstone laying next Sunday if tho day is a good one.
 The different naarching bodies will form on the aide streats near Hard's s corner being in their places at 2 o'clock. The Knights of Columbus will meet at their hall in Bridgeport at o'clock and march to the Con gress street car barns where special cars will be waiting to convey them to Stratford. They will form into line at BeardsIeYss corner, one block west of Hard's corner, immediately on ar irving in Stratford.
 The other societies will form along 5tratford avenue and South Main street taking the places assigned them by the grand marshal of the parade, who fs to be John Cleary of Srat- ford.
 The new St. Jameg church when completed will be without question, the prettiest church in the town of Btratford. It 9s Gothic in style of architecture in dimensions, 10s feet by 6s feet. Yellow tapestry brick is being used in its construction and all trimmings are of Indiana limestone Architect Jackson of New York de- signed the building and when com pleted it will be monument to his craftsnanship.
 The cornerstone, donated by James Seton 6 Sons, comes from the Rail way Granite Co.'s quarry in Quincy, Mass, the same quarry out of which the stone used in the Bunker Hill monument was out. The altar, organ, windows, chancel lamp, and in fact almost all Of 6he fittings of the church have already been promised Rev. M J. O'Connor by members Of his church and former residents of the town.
 Father O'COnnor has been doing splendid work in Stratford ever since he was transferred to that town from Pomfret, Conn. He not only bought the fine rectory and the land adjoin- ing the church lot on the corner of Main and Broad streets but by his hard work and business ability has paid all the running expenses of the parish and laid by 8 fund for build ing the new church. Considering the short time Father O'Connor has been in Stratford the work he has done there seems phenomenal
 If the weather is propritious next Sunday afternoon there is no doubt but that the day will be the greatest one in the history of St. James par ish and one which the people Of Strat- ford. will remember for days to come.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-07-08

If any attempt is made to borrow money or perform any other acts which are apparently authorized by the Paving bill sent to City Auditor Heating, Senator Joseph H. Whitcomb will ask an injunction to prevent work being done under the provisions of the bill. As told in the Farmer last night, a grave error or a scandal is immin- ent over the Bridgeport paving bill leg islatior. What purports to be an act duly authorized by the General As sembly authorizing the city of Bridge port to borrow $200, 900 for pavements and ether sums for school houses and sewers, attested by the Secretary of State and signed by Governor Bald win, has been received by City Audi tor Heating. But members of the Bridgeport delegation to the general assembly declare it is not the bill which actually went through the legis- lature.
 Senator whitcornb said today:
 CT watched this paving bill very closely and am certain the bill re- turned to City Auditor Heating was not rne bill for which we voted in the I,srislature I and other mem bers of the delegation from Bridge port were unwilling that the Common Council through the members of the streets and sidewalks committee should have $1Oos0o0 to spend for pave mert in one year. We were also un- willing that such 2; large sum should be spent for pavement not permanent.
 4fWe also insisted that the original bill as presented to the Senate be re- vfsed to prevent a big deal being made in non-perrnaI1ent pavement through a bill which puTported to be drawn in the interest of permanent pavement
 1T watched this matter very closely. Sdv1- ion as to how think a change in the bills was made at Hartford but I will say now that if any attempt Is made to work under this bill sent to City Auditor Keating I will get an injunc- tion.''
 (By Our Special Corres.)
 Hartford, July s.-A rigid investf- gation today failed to disclose how state papers were juggled at Hartford so that an act authorizing Bridgeport to appropriate $2OO,00O For pavements and other sums for schools and sew CTS, should be substituted for the bill really passed by the General Assem- bly,.
 The investigation by a special rep resentative of The Farmer today shows that Senate Bill 271 came up in the House on May 2O. It appeared as File 47O of the House printed bills. Whe bill as finally passed by the House contains on Page the following en- dorsement:
 'tCommittee on Finance through Senator Weed of the 26th District, chairman of the committee on part of the Senate, think that the bill ought to pass"
 This bill does not appear among any of the papers transmitted to the office of the Secretary of State, but there does appear there Amendment, schedule Az which was offered by Representative Wilson of Bridgeport and which was drawn as amendment
