Do Your Duty As
 Citizens, Go To The Polls
 On The Bonding Referendum

Mayor Wilson, having been advised by his city attorney, as to the utter frreguIarity and ill., legality of the bonding election of last Saturday, has gracefully yielded to the inevitable, and called an election, which will be held under the protection of law.
 The right to vote was not easily gained. Many men os other countries haven't that precious privilege.
 Even in Connecticut, the right . to pass directly upon many irn- portant matters has not been given to the electors.
 The referendum on bonds the power of the purse-was not granted to the people of Bridge port until recently.
 This right of referendum should be exercised by every eIector. Every man who has an opinion upon the bonding ques- tion should vote for his opinion
 If you favor bonds, vote for bonds.
 If you do not favor bonds, vote against them, but VOTE.
 Let the next referendum be large vote, so that those who DO NOT believe in rule by the people may NOT be able to say the people take NO interest in their own business.
