clerk, and ]. Fred schempp, candidate
fer collector, spoke briefly in the in
terests of the whole ticket. Both We're
received with much acclaim. F. W.
Hall, candidate for treasurer, was I'M
able to appear because of illness.
Mr. Buckingham followed with
stirring address. He said he had often
appeared in the Ninth as a. candidate
for office, but last night he was glad
to appear to speak, not for himself,
but for his friends and fellow Demo-
Gratis.
to stand together was especially enec-
tive. 'STwo wrongs don't make one
right said he by way of refuting
the claim that because it was said
Democrats bolted the ticket two years
ago when he was running for mayor,
others should do so now when Null
Inns had defeated him at the prima-
ries-
Mr.. DonneIly spoke briefly of his APP
pearance in the same district two
weeks ago in a primary rally, recalled
the pledge he then made to abide by
the decision of the voters, and said he
was at the rally last night to keep his
pledge.
II have no apologies to make for ap-
pearing at any Democratic rally said
Mr.. -DonneIly. ct confess feel a bit
nervous here tonight When I ap-
said to me. John, you don't mean that
you're going to speak here tonight? 2
said, Yes. We've had a primary
fight and it was a good, fair fight
lost. Don't you consider it the duty
of a Democrat who aspires to the
mayora1ty nomination, should he lose,
to support the successful candidate?'
And yet have heard no one say any
thing against Frederick C. Mullins If
you elect him mayor. I know he will
give you good administration
Mr. Donnelly supplemented his re-
marks of Monday, relative to the i'm
portation of eut-of-town experts . by
reference to the hiring of a stenog-
rapher in Rochester for service in the
police department here. He asked his
hearers if they didn't believe there
were stenograph in Bridgeport com
petent to fill the position. He decried
the expenditures Of large sums for
new High school, If the product Of this
school is not able to carry on the city's
bust In ess.
Mr.. Donnelly said the Republican
party was seeking to exploit the pri-
mary differences within the party. aIf
you meet man who tells you that
the reason you, a Democrat, should
vote the Republican ticket is that, two
years ago some misguided Democrats
voted against as, my answer is that
two wrongs don't make one right
GCheers.)
Mr.. Mullins got a laugh when he
doffed his hat, tossed it into the au-
tomobiIe and shouted my hats in the
ring Keep it there shouted ex-
Mayor E. T. Buckingham.
Il appear here tonight as the, stan
dard bearer of the Democracy of

Tuesday, it shall be my eneeaYorsto

Mr.. Mullins then took up the mat
ter of the kilograms straw ballot. ITO
me it makes no difference what the
result is in that VOTE he said. 'tMr.
| Mcneil, the proprietor of the Telegram
| is a personal friend of mine and so
| is his father and have nothing but
the kndest of words for him. I feel
should call your attention, however,
to a misunderstanding which occurred
yesterday. Mr.. Mcneil, sincere and
honest to the letter, with all the sin
certify in the world, said that no pub
| lie announcement would be made in
| advance of the place of balloting, after
last week. was Informed that
! straw vote would be taken yesterday
noon at the Crane Valve company and
some of my friends were prepared to
vote. At about IL o'clock they were
Informed there would be no vote. So
I said, If there's no vote at the Crane
| Valve company this noon, there will
be no vote at Polls theatre tonight
sfdr. Poll is a personal and particu-
lar friend of mine. The paper this
morning said he was one of my strong
| est supporters and was going to con
tribute to the cause. Mr.. Poll has
been in Baltimore ten days and yes
| terday he was in Worcester; I have
not seen Mr. Poll for 80 days.
"He does not know that the vote
was stopped. The only reason that it
was stopped is that Mr.. Mcneil did
not carry out his agreement to have
| the vote taken at the Crane Valve
| company. Archie Mcneil is all right.
He got a little twisted yesterday and
got twisted with him and the vote
