Democrats of the First and Second districts were treated to two unusually interesting incidents Tn the course or an enthusiastic rally last night at the l Warren theatre
 One was the appearance of Lew renee J. Gi1l-he was introduced as 'eThe Sunshine Man of Washington | in a fine speech in behalf of the ticket. The other was the unanimous adop- ton of a resolution offered by the ] Young Mems Democratic Clubs or the districts, asking for united support' i for the nominees.
 Both incidents created lot of en- l thusiasn. Larry Gill was at his best, and gave the ticket big send off. He was warmly greeted by scores of friends in the audience.
 "I just got back from Washington this afternoon said MT. Gill, and haven't had much time to grasp the situation locally. I didn't finish up my work until 4:So Saturday after noon, and arrived in Bridgeport at o'clock this afternoon.
 'It gives me a lot of real pleasure to be here and talk to you men. You are here to give your endorsement to the regular Democratic nominees. I've noticed that there is lot of enthusi- asm at this meeting and it's god sign But the real enthusiasm must Ibe shown on Tuesday. That is when the candidates need you most
 i" have looked the ticket over and enough for me. I've been voting the Democratic ticket for 2s years, and it is my boast that I've never scratched a single nominee.
 "You Democrats should support Iyour Democratic ticket. Forget any differences that you may have had land on Tuesday return our ticket winner.''
 The resolutions from the Young 1 Mems Democratic club were read by Go. J. H. McMurray, who was chair man of the meeting. The resolu-' lutions, signed by scores of voters, urged united support for the ticket, and asked that leaders forget past diff ferences that a field field of honor might be set for the younger Demo- crats of the city to enulate.p
 What is your pleasure concerning these resolutions ?" the chairman ask l ed.
 .tMove their adoption shouted a dozen voices.
 With S whoop and cheer, the resolutions were adopted with unan- inity.
 l The rally was one of the biggest and best of the campaign. Every seat in the theatre was taken and scores were standing Col. J. H. Me- Murray was given a warm reception when he called the meeting to order l and made a brief introductory speech. l Col. McMurray was loudly cheered | when he appealed to the American ism of the voters as one of the req sons why they should stand by the ticket. He urged that the voters for get the factiona1 differences~ and to I vote for the nominees who were reg ularly nominated in the Democratic convention. He lauded Daniel E. Walker a T1nr1inAa for for his public record and his integrity as a sterling citizen.

 George M. Coughlin, candidate for city clerk, asked the voters to insure the election of the Democratic nom- inee by texpending as much ability and energy on Tuesday as you have spent in primary contests.''
 These primary differences should be forgotten if we are to have unity ' he continued. ''No faction has a monopoly on nominations and should not have. We have today ticket representative of all the old factions. It is 0 ticket that stands square1y on the Democratic platform and one for which every Democrat may work for with honor to himself and the party
