 During my term of office my one aim has been to serve faithfully for the best interests of the people of this county. may have made mis- takes, but they came only during my efforts to do what was best for the people who honored me. I will prom ise you that, if reelected. it will be my solemn duty to continue to place the best interests of the county before all else in the discharge of my duties.
 Patrick H. Brady, candidate fos representative, spoke briefly, pledg- ing his efforts, if elected, to further ing the interests of the city. If am elected he said, sI will go to Hartford without strings of any sort attached to me. The only pre- -e1ec- ton promise have made or will make is this; If elected I promise to do my utmost in behalf of my city and the people have placed such a great trust in me-.
 Congressman . Jareniah Donovar who had spoke earlier in the evening at a rally in the West End. was given an enthusiastic reception. After re- viewing the work of the Democratic Congress, Congressman Donovan tore to shreds the Republican argument that Democratic administration of na-
 
 tain factories running on short time.
 Would you believe it. he said, fin the Cotton States there are whole communities that are almost pennf- less The citizens of these communi- ties had come to depend on the cot ton crop for their all. It was their pocketbook; it was their money.
 This year they raised the biggest crop of cotton ever known. Its worth was estimated at a bullion dollars and the South was at the threshold of an unprecedented wave of prosperity.
 sThen came the war in Europe. Tn a day. almost, the South was de- prfved of it's biggest costumer for it's cotton crop. Hundreds of thousands of bales Of cotton found no market. Trade with Europe had been cut off.

 Attorney Breen than made a plea for loyal support of the entire ticket. Congressman Donovan was received with enthusiasm. Apparently tired by to speak at another rally in the Sec ond district he spoke briefly but to the point.
 T have only one thing to ask of you, but they will keep the faith things are not right at present it is not the fault of the Democrats. There are in this country now about 25, 900, GOO people who are without means re- fer to our Southern brothers. In the Southern cotton states there is one staple crop---cotton.
 When a Southern man has had a bale of cotton he has had money and cotton has never been worth less than $50 a bale and Sometimes as high as s75 At present we have the largest cotton crop on record, but the South erner can't move it. War is in Eu-. rope and there is no market for the cotton. It can be turned into nnon- sey All Southerners are Democrats all are poor.

 Congressman Donovan then review ed the record of F. J.

FRANCIS J. BREEN PRESlDES AT BIG
 MEETING IN 4TH

Attorney Francis J. Breen, candi- date for senator ia the 2lst district, was chairman of the big rally held in Lund's West End theatre last night. Several hundred men were gathered in tn building when Alder meeting to order and introduced Chairman Breen- Before introducing other speakers Attorney Breen in a master9y, though brief, address re- viewed the present situation and the issues on which the Democratic can part:
 The present situation is not due so much to change in the tar1f laws as to the war in Europe. All commerce has been interrupted. There is no more business with Europe and no ships to carry commerce if there were business. Normal business conditions have been disturbed for the time be- ing, but reflect, my frieneEs. that of all countries we are the one lone great power that is at peace with all the world.

lenge anyone to prove differently"
 Turning his attention to E. J. Hill, Congressman Donovan said: 1T am opposed for election by a man who held the office for eighteen years and whose record there was one ale glance to big interests. Brother Hill says he is a big fellow with unlimited influence and power. Maybe he is- but to what end has he ever used that power to help the people of his dis trict.
 He can tell you what the Chinese eat for breakfast and the percapita tax in East Liberia, but did he ever Did he ever tell you of the cost of coal? Or the cost of light? Never, no once in eighteen years service.
 For eighteen years. Brother Hill rode in Washington street cars, get ting six tickets for a. quarter. Did he ever try to help the people of his dis trfct by getting g. reduced rate of transportation for them? I think not.
 The Democrats put coal and meat and other necessities of life on the free list. Brother Hill, if elected, would put them back on the dutiable- list, to the benefit of the trusts and to the hardship of the workingman
 ''Gentlemen, if you favor the policy of peace you must vote against Brother Hill. His presence in Wash ington would noly be to the harrass- ment and annoyance of our great president in his program of peace for America If you would uphold your duty to vote against Brother Hill"
 The eongressnan was generously applauded at the conclusion of his address. He was followed by Rep resentative Lynn W. Wilson.

GENERAL SLUMP IN
BASEBALL IS SHOWN
Hugh Fullerton Says Owners
Are Having Worst Season at
Gate in Years.

From Chicago comes the news that
tician, has received confidential re-
ports from amout fifty cities where
major league. Glass IA, Glass A. Class
B. and Glass c baseball is played.
which would tend to show that club
owners throughout the country are
experiencing the worst season in
years. The figures are based on at
tendance up to July 4. and they are
compared with attendance for the
same period IN 1918.
According to. Fullerton's figures. the
National League has a falling off of
81 per cent, American League IS per
cent. Glass "A leagues % per cent,
Class A leagues 80 per cent, Class B
leagues % per cent. and Class c
leagues 20 per cent. Only two leagues
from which reports were sent claim
increases. Only three clubs in the
majors claim increases.
Fullerton's informants also gave
reasons for the slumps. Eight said 1t
was hard times and the Feds. Sew
enteen said 1t was hard times and loss
Of confidence. -Four said they owed II
directly to the Federal League. Nine
teen ascr.bed the slump to bad base
ball. Eleven blamed "Murphyism.
and eleven others said ii was loss of
faith in the honesty of the owners.
Baseball experts are somewhat sur
prised by Fullerton's figures. for il Is
not thought the National League is
experiencing as great slump as his
figures would tend to show while the
Glass IA legues are thought much
harder hit than the loss of % per cent
announced by Fullerton.

Charlie White Puts Away
Yoakum in the Nineteenth

DENVER, Colo, July 15.-"T believe
Stanley Yoakum is the gsmest, toughest
man in the world
This was the tribute paid today by
Charley White to the man he knocked
out in the ninteenth round of a sched-
uled twenty-round battle here last
night.
In boxing, punching ability and ring
Eeneralship, White greatly outclassed
Noakum, but the latter showed an al
most superhuman endurance which pre-
vented a knockout after he had stag
gered groggy, through five successive
rounds.
During the first ten rounds Yoakum
had the better of ii, fighting aggressive
" all the way. In the eleventh White
opened up. From then on il was all
White. He scientifically chopped Yoak-
um's face with his straight left until
4 was covered with blood.
From the fourteenth round on White
kept landing terrific right swings to
Yoakums jaw. administering, terrible
punishment. Yoakum staggered blindly,
but kept boring in.
In the nineteenth White put his Op-
ponent down with a right TO the jaw
but the Denver boy was on his feet at
once and fought another minute before
series of lefts and rights put him
down for the count.
Nine thousand persons saw the bat
lie and the gross receipts were 81, 0G.
White gets 20 per cent and Yoakura
81 600 White will meet Joe Azevedo at

Frenchman Is Given Great Re-
ception on His Arrival in
London by Enthusiasts.
THINKS VICTORY is HIS
His Manager Predicts Knockout
in Two or Three Rounds
Over American.

LONDON, July 15.-Primed and ready
for their twenty-round fight at olym
MIA tomorrow night, both Gunboat
smith, the American heavyweight, ant
Georges Carpenter. French champion
today expressed the greatest confidence
Of victory.
Carpenter was given a remarkaole
reception upon his arrival here. He die
only light work today. Carpenter
manager, Des Camps. became so en-
thusiastic that he predicted Georges
would knock Gunboat out in two OF
three rounds. At Harrow Smith put
IN his last work today and refused to
be disturbed by the prophecy.
"That'u be goin' some. won't it?" was
ne only comment of the gunner.
Betting was at even money today
Those backing Smith are counting on
his heavy punch to end the fight in an
carly round. They do not believe Car
pentier will be quick enough to get
away from Smith as he has been able
TO dodge away from the European
lighters.
On the other hand the Frenchpan'
hackers point out that Carpenter stay
has also demonstrated that he carries a
knockout punch with his speed and
Cleverness.
1T will be a hard fight but 1 am
confident of winning" said Carpen-
tier today. Il have been warned of
smiths punch and prepared for it.

being slow. I will guarantee to move
last enough to keep Carpenter busy,
His style of tanning his arms, jump
ing and prancing won't bother me.
I expect TO win before the twentieth
round"
Tremendous interest has been
aroused in the fight and it is eX-
nected that 10000 persons will be
at the ringside. Carpenter was
wildly cheered whenever he appeared

BROWNS SCOUTS ARE
AFTER TWO PLAYERS
Additional Catcher and Short
stop Will Put Rickey's Club
in big Four"

PHILADELPHIA, July 15.-Lack Of a
first-class shortstop and good substi-
tutes is hurting the Browns chances
In the American League pennant hunt.
While Wares and I.avan are fair ball
players, they do not class with the
shortstopping stars OF the American
League. Both cover the position fairly
well, with Lavan having the slight
edge. owing to his speed.
But neither can hit. Wares proba-
bly, will hit around 300 for the season,
while Lavan will not bat that much.
AS fielders, they are not in the class
with Bobby Wallace. who is at homo
injured. With Bobby in all the games,
the Brownies could be right on the
heels OF the Mackmen.
Wallace's absence from the lineup
has hurt. On the spring training trip
the little Scot acted just like a kid
who was serving his second season in
the big ring after having made a great
showing his first campaign.
Yes. indeed. Bobby was fielding in
mis- old-time form. while he also was
hitting.
Wares and Lavan have been going
to the best of their ability. but right
now neither is up to major league
standard. Lavan may be developed into
a good, player. Boss Hickey thinks he
can. but that does not help at present.
when the club has good chance 10
finish we'll I'D in the race.
That's WHY all the Brownie scouts
are on the road at present searching
for a first-cIass receiver to help out
Agnew, and n shortstop.
Manager Hickey has Frank Crossin,
Bill Rumler. and Joe jenkins as mask
and pad men. but will not trust them
TO work in the present important jour
ney.
In the outfield Hickey has Ernie
Walker and Bill Rumler to fall back
on. Both are fairly good meadowmen.
but not up to the standard of Will
Jams. Walker, and Shotten.
So. taken altogether. the Brownies
have few subs who can really be term
ed as first-class ball players.
