GORDON'S PLAN TO UNIFORM THE POOR
 BEHIND THE TIMES
Farmer Reader Sharply Criti- ciZes Proposition of Char {
 itieS Head.
To the Editor of The Farmer;

TO the EQ1JOf or The Fafmer;
 Sir:
 VIII you kindly. permit the writer to convey through the columns of your paper his compliments to and Variances with MT. Spencer Gordon.
 In many ways we felicitate MT. Gordon. at this particular moment we wish to compliment him upon his happy manifesto regarding certain wearing apparel or in other words uniforms No, MT. Gordon has not said that he is about to don military uniform to bolster up his courage or pad 1t out a bit in his present warfare institutions, etc. Rather MT. Gordon is going to permit certain Individuals to wear uniforms. These certain in dividuals are to live in proximity to the Arms Go. and the Garbage plant and it may be that MT. Gordon has an over developed sense of the eternal fitness and thinks it only proper to harmonize the whole section in one way or another.
 Thanked with bayonets on one side and deadly gases on the other it is doubtless fitting that there should be a bit of uniform now and then to com p1ete the warHke landscape.
 However, now that we have comp1i- mented MT. Gordon on his artistic perception and courageous manifes- tation of same we would ike to ex- press a tirnid protest, also some Sug- gestions. Could it not be arranged, that MT. Gordon's office in the Charities Building would be on the first floor front where he could revel in the dis play of the incoming and outgoing ap- parel of the preservers of the law and order; or. could we not have an oc- casionaI parade of the various en- zine companies between the hours of the various platoon shifts? We might appeal also to the various secret so- cities around town, who would pos sibIy be willing to give an occasional display of their paraphernaHa.
 Does MT. Gordon wish to further institutionalize the inmates of Lake view? If so, by all means bring on the uniform costume.
 Does MT. Gordon wish to invade the few rights. that are left to the City's poor? Does MT. Gordon wish to have Lakeview unique Gin this section of the country) Does, MT. Gordon wish to liken Lakeview to Wethersfeld; Surely he could not wish these re- suits Just as surely, he can have no sinister manufacturers agent await ing his order for clothing.
 Yet us hope. that Bridgeports poor will never be placed under the stripes of an institutional uniform
 Yours for the peaceful suppression of the uniform Gordon.

DONNELLY'S WORK
 IN STATE SENATE
 MAnE HIM POPULAR

The record of former Senator John M. Donnel1y while in the State Senate is one reason why the Democratic candidate for Collector deserves con- sideration from voters of all parties. While in the Senate Donnelly was in- dependent and fearless. Many Sena- tors who have been elected to repre- sent Bridgeport in the Senate have failed to distinguish themselves be- cause they attempted to please both sides They tried to be lon the fence' when an important bill came up for consideration instead of declaring themselves in favor of or against the measure. 4
 But Donnel1y did not belong to his middle of the road type. While in the Senate he always had the courage of his convictions. If he believed in the merits of the bill he spoke in fla vor of it and kept on speaking until he had influenced other legislators to believe as he did.

FOREIGN LEGATIONS
NAY QUIT MEXICO
Many Diplomats are Incensed at
Treatment by Carranza
Officials.

Washington, D. c., Feb. g.
Withdrawal from Mexico City O.
many foreign legations was immin
ent last night because of friction
between the Carranza government
and the diplomatic corps.
Some of the prominent diplomatic
representatives of European coun.
tries already have cabled their
home governments suggesting that
inasmuch as communication is
growing more and more restricted
and little respect is given them by
the Carranza authorities, it might
be advisable to unite with other
governments in movement to
abandon all foreign legations in
Mexico.
AS the American embassy has
been closed since the rupture with
the Huerta government, the action
on the part of the other diplomatic
missions is being considered with
out consulting the United States so
far as it is known.
