VOTING
 MACHINES TO BE USED
 NEXT TIME
Defects Tn Last Saturday s Election Sufficient to
 Prevent Sale of Bonds

The Farmer has been an earnest advocate of the referendum on import ant municipal questions. The referen- dunn protects the people from the mis- takes of those in power, and frpm the ambition and greed of privileged ele- ments in the community. The Farmer has been ever in favor of the maximum amount of home rule for the city.
 The Farmer is not opposed to bond ing, if the electorate want bonds. Ii believes and always has believed thai in the long run, and most of the time the judgment of all the citizens is bet citizens, regarding matters which are the concern of all. Far more iInpOrtant than the ques- ton of debt or no debt is the funda- mental matter of honest elections safe guarded by the best la that genera tions of Connecticutt men have been able to write upon the statute books
 Dishonest elections, controlled by political machines, interested persons or greedy corporations are dangerous to tlze welfare of the state.
 The bonding election of Saturday last was conducted in open, wicked and. inexcusable violation of election ruIes. It was not a technical depart ure from law and custom, but d flag rant and dangerous overthrow of baz- lot box protectton.
 If this eIection should pass unchaI- Ienged, the next election would be more Hagrantg the misuse of election znacbinery would be more srieypus
 Political machines i1r other towns, desiring sto est their hands upon mil lions of public money, would follow the example of Bridgeport. Soon cleo lions would be debaucfed every where. and the home rule bill, instead of be- ing a blessing to the communities of Connecticut. would be an unmitigated evil
 The things that were done on Satur- day were not. technical wrongs. They were not things that were merely iI- legal. They were gross wrongs. In some cases they were wrongs delimit- ed by criminal law, and offenses pun ishable by fine and Imprisonment.
 As to the moral aspect of the cleo ton, it would be difficult to conceive an assault upon the purity of the bal lot conducted with greater Violence. :. Violence to go further would have to be physical violence amounting to seizure of the voting places.
 Another bonding election will be held oniM May 16. Before it arrives let each taxpayer and--every elector of desires to vote.
 Before he votes let him go to the office of the tax collector and get his tax bill, whether he intends to pay 1t or not.
 After you have seen your tax bill and compared it with the tax bills you used to get, MT. Taxpayer. you will be in better position to make up your mind whether you wish to en- dorse the financial policy of those who created your tax bill.
 Bonding means paying double. The bonds already proposed, which have mostly been defeated, would equal an immediate increase of some eight mills in the grand list
 The more bonds the city issues the bigger the tax bills will get, and the less there will be to show for the money.

Cd by physicians or rushed directly t. hospitals.
 It is further estfmated that tfzs deaths in Fairfield county during tha past three years will afnottn to more than half a hundred. &Tha casualties already reported placesthe county far ahead of any other in the state for automobile killings. Bridgeport's s record is astounding and promises un- der the present enforcement of laws to be even greater during the com ing year.
 Not all Of these deaths were due to the reckless driving of the man at the wheel but the coroner found of these tWenty-nine, that twenty-tWo o could have been avoided with proper precautions. The other seven were caused either by unavoidable circuml- stances or because those meeting death were responsible for their own demise.

Grain Market

CHICAGO, July 16.-Wheat eased
oft today in consequence of cables
being unresponsive to yesterdays adj
vance in prices. Generally favorable
weather conditions throughout the
spring crop States counted also
against the bulls. Reports that black
rust had been discovered in North Da-
kota as well as in Minnesota and
South Dakota seemed to be looked on
largely as a foregone conclusion. Aft
er opening unchanged to X lower the
market showed but little power to re-
act.
Widely scattered showers had a
bearish effect on corn. There was a
notable absence of aggressive buying.
The opening. which was u to "
down, was followed by an additional
decline.
Oats sagged with corn and wheat
The majority of commission houses
were on the selling side.
Higher prices for hogs gave strength
to provisions. Trade, however, was
light

from drouthy conditions in the south
west, and after opening steady at an
advance of / point to a decline of
points the market sold about 5 to 8
points net higher on covering and
bull support. The western belt fore
cast, however, was for cooler weather

partly cloudy conditions in East
Texas, while there was a bearish re-
port on Texas crop prospects from
travelling expert The market
turned a shade easier after the first
hour
Detailed weather reports showed no
rains and continued high tempera-
lures in Texas and oklahoma, but
many traders predicted that the cool
err weather forecasted will be follow
ed by showers, and the market was
unsettled early in the noon hour with
prices only a point or two net higher.
