perity, the hum of this industry is'bet- ter than all the war songs in the world.'
 ITO maintain our national honor by peace if we can but by war if we must" declared MT. Glynn, 'is thaf motto of Woodrow Wilson. The re- suit of the form of MT. Wilson's nego- tiations with the Marring nations of Europe is that while Europe is drenched in the blood of a sinister war we are enjoying the blessings of an honorable peace. The men in so- cietys salons, lettered dilitants in h- braries and swaggering devotees> of fashion who would fight out battles on the carpet of parlor trenches, in the restaurants of clubs, or amid the dangers of afternoon teas, may be primarily interested in the form of our diplomatic negotiations. But the men who must fight our battles where the cannon roars an0 bullets sing and death stalks-their wives their sons, their daughters and their mothers-they are primarily interest ed in the result of our negotiations and not in the form. And the men who would do the fighting stand where Woodrow Wilson stands"

MRS. I. j. MURPHY IS DEAD AT 47;ILl
 MANY MONTHS
Death Ends Long and Patient Suffering of Mother of
 Large Family.

Catherine M., wife of Col. Timothy J. Murphy, died this morning at her home, S6 Liberty street. Mrs. Mur- phys death was not unexpected. She had been i'll for long time. The end came a few minutes before 9 o'clock this morning, with her hus- band and several children at her peo- side.
 Mrs Murphy was taken i'll more than a year ago, and underwent an operation that afforded her only tenn porary relief With spartan courage she bore her afflictiOn, grieving more that she was compelled to forego her maternal solicitude for her large family, than for her suffering. Born in Waterbury, 47 years ago, the daughter of Edward and the late Mary Ann Burns Crowley, she came to Bridgeport when five years of age. Her family resided here continuously since then, her father, Edward Crow lev. who lately had resided at the Murphy home, having been an engin- ger for the New Haven road for many years.
 Mrs Murphy was widely known in this city. She attended Prospect street school, and took an active part in the affairs of St. Augustine's par ish. Later, when the Sacred Heart
 parish was organized she was among
 the leaders of the young women of | the parish in matters for the welfare | of the new church.
 Rev. James c. O'Brien of St. John s church, Stamford, then pastor of the l Sacred Heart church, united Col. and | Mrs. Murphy in marriage in January, | 1893. Seven children blessed the | union, Jeremiah, student in Notre Dame university; James, reporter for | the Bridgeport Evening Farmer; Ma
 rie and Joseph, pupils in the Bridge
 port High school, and Catherine. John
 and Thomas, pupils in the Sacred | Heart school.
 Mrs. Murphy was devoted to her
 family, and loved her home. She
 was not given much to social activ1- | ties. finding more enjoyment in the family circle of her own household
 She was @ devout Catholic and aided
 generously in mary projects of re- Iisious and of charitable nature Notwithstanding her long illness she l retained an unusually large number | of intimates to whom her death Is an l irreparable loss.
 | Col. Murphy, the bereaved husband | is one of the best known Bridgeport | ers He came here from Spring1eio about 30 years ago. He is one oi | the leaders in several of the Irish pa | triotic and fraternal organizations, ano
 a colonel in the Hibernian Rif1es. He
 recently sold his retail liquor store tc
 the Bridgeport Savings bank, and now
 devotes his attention to the wholesale liquor business.
 Besides her husband and children | Mrs. Murphy is survived by her fatn' CT. four brothers, John Crowley ol

In ail large cities like Bridgeport the average citizen must keep ever lastingly at 1t whether he feels like it or not, for with the prevailing high prices of foodstuffs it takes all a per- son can earn to keep the wolf from the door, so to speak.
 In our struggle for existence little thought is given, to health and its effect upon our everyday efficiency. People say, well I haven't the time" and go on urging their wearied, run down bodies to work by sheer force of will, until one day the system, can no longer stand up under the strain and general breakdown results which may keep the worker away from the job for weeks or even months.
 It was just such an experience that occurred to Frank Mulvey, popular r. M C. worker, who resides at 121 High street It started with pain in the back which was kidney or rheumatic sign and though he fought against it continually. it finally wore him down until he was forced to lay off and stay in bed. In a thrilling statement, MT. Mulvey tells how lie was relieved in an astonishingly quick time through the use of the remark able new medicine "Wildcrhs.' MT. Mulvey said: "I suffered with a fierce l backache that felt like someone was sticking knife into me. First tried salves and rubbing lotions, but they did no good. Then hot towels. cold towels, pills and laxatves came next and failed to touch the spot. The | constant twinges of pain made 1t all

Cites Republican Criticism of Wilson As Applicable to Critics, In Denomination Speech for Vice President Thomas B. Marshall.

Indianapolia Sept. 15--Martin H. Glynn in his speech notifying Thomas R. Marshall of his nomination as the Democratic candidate for vice-presi- dent here tonight, summed up the re- Sults of the administration of Wood row Wilson. replied to the critics of the present administration and set forth the reasons why he believed MT. Wilson and MT. Marshall should be reelected. He said, in part:
 There is something peculiarly ben- efitting in a man from New York heading this committee to do honor to . son of Indiana.
 ''Thirty-two years ago, after long unbroken series of defeats, the Dem- ocratic party under the leadership of . man from New York and, a man from Indiana won an inspiritional vic tory that put new heart and new life into the democracy of the nation" MT. 0lynn described the Wilson ad. ministration as one that in efficiency of service and in responsiveness tc popular will, has had no rival in this country in the last fifty years" Con. cerning 1t he said: "The historian o1 the future will say that into the laws of the nation were written not only the pledges of the Democratic plat. form, but the pledges of the Progress sive platform and the pledges of the Republican platform that served pub lie interests and fostered public vel fare" HhF @
 Asserting that Woodrow wllsor would be the next President and MT Marshall the next uce-president, c1r Glynn said that the most potent req son therefore Ties in the, great hu man appeal of the policy and per formances of the administration il which you have been second in com mand.'' e
 Summing up the results of the vii son administration, Mr. Glynn defin ed them as follows:

land; no longer will the poetry or youth be robbed of its glamor or its song of joy transformed into la mentation of despair
 "No longer will the sewers of our seed and the reapers of our har- vest be denied proper place in the sun of our financial world.
 ''No longer will widows and, or- phans, robbed of their pittance of savings, beat their clenched fists, in vain upon the doors of banks closed by manufactured panics.
 'No longer will any man or set of men be able to corner the money mar ket. or take the countrys business by the throat and force it to deliver to their financial pressure"
 Concerning some of the issues of the campaign, MT. Glynn said:
 "In their search for an iaeue grass hoppers-never hopped as our oppon- ents have hppped, chameleons never changed their hues as our opponents have changed their cries in this cam paign.
 "They are like the 'Huma,' the bird of perpetual motion that never lights on land or sea but is always on the wing.
 First they create an issue out of 'Americanism.' ( But as soon as they see the people know that Woodrow Wilson is doing today in our foreign affairs exactly what Washington and Adams and Jefferson and Lincoln and Grant did under similar circumstances why, our Republican friends<lop to | another issue, change their hues, raise 1 new cries and like the Huma keep on the wing.
 Then Mexico becomes their issue. But as soon as they see the country knows the Mexican situation is an in- heritance from a Republican admin istration, and that in his dealings with Mexico Woodrow Wilson is pursuing the same course that Abraham Lincoln and President Taft pursued under similar circumstance our Re- publican friends hop again, change their hues, raise new cries and like the Huma keep on the wing.
 Then they fall to criticizing the Pershing expedition against Villa and the mobilization of the troops on tbe border. But as soon as they see that the people remember President Taft,s mobilization order in 1912 and that armed forces from the United States invaded Spanish and Mexican terri tory on ten different occasions for of.

lenses identical with that which Villa committed against this country-why our Republican friends hop again. change their hues, raise new cries ana like the Huma keep on the wing.
 ''They they dig up the Old Man of the Set'-the tariff. But as soon as they see the people know from bitter experiences that an exorbitant protec- tive tariff gives money with one hand while it takes it away with the other our Republican friends hop again change their hues, raise new cries, and like the Huma keep on the wing.
 Then they attack the recent eight hour law for railroads They make as much noise about this as mossbacE conservatives made eighty years age over President Van Burens ten-houl law and they probably will achieve the same negative result. And since Monday last they have been trying te make an issue out of the state cleo. ton up in Maine as a repudiation ol the Wilson policies and a forecast ol national Republican victory. But thi. contention will not hold water. The average Republican majority il Maine in the last five national cleo tions was 33,164, and yet on Monda, last, the Republicans carry it by only 13,000.
 'This same kind of a Republican victory would swing New York t, Wilson by f25O,00O. The falling off O. the Republican vote in Maine is 20 pei cent from the vote of four years ago If this percentage prevails through out the country on next election day Woodrow Wilson will carry ever, doubtful state in the nation
 Then they make an issue out O presidential vacillation.' Meditation the other name is the name of tn, present Republican candidate fo President! Between his statement as to why a Supreme Court tustic, should not and could not become candidate for president, and his dou ble quick time rush in accepting tn nomination, he veered like a ti, Iweather cock in a criss-cross wind storm. In side stepping and pussy footing all around this issue he wa as bad as the man in the perplexitie
 of the famous old railroad ditty O
 On Again, Off Again, Gone Again Finnegan.'
 President Wilson or any othe man has got to do some vaci1lating fl order to keep up with the Republican candidate for President as the cham pion vacillator of the political arena 'The fact remains, said MT. iGlynr 'that under a Democratic Presiden
 and a Democratic Congress this coun
 try is enjoying the greatest prosperit
 with it's existence. The business i

RUMANIANS PUSH
AHEAD ON FLANKS
Take Guns and 400 Prison
erS on Jiul-Berlin Ad-
mits Loss of Height

London, Nov. 4.-The Rumaniane
continued to advance to-day on both
TANKS Of the southern Transylvania
line. In the Table Butzi region they
pushed northward. taking some prison
ers. and in the jul Valley they pressed
after .ihe Teutons, taking four heavy
guns and more than 400 prisoners.
II this success on the extreme west
ern end Of the Pennsylvania line de-
velops much further il will endanger
the Austrian hold on the border passes
further east, for the Rumanian line
will then be far north of the enemy
line to the east, and the threat 10 the
flank will have TO be removed before
drive into Rumania can be contem'
plated.
Only in the Predesl sector, on the
Pennsylvania front, does Berlin claim
progress. Here the German statement
reports a further advance beyond the
PASS toward Campulung and the capt
ure Of $50 Rumanian prisoners.
Rumania's situation il improved, but
the danger point will not be passed
until Falkenhayn's thrust through the
Red Tower and the Predeal passes is
definitely stopped.
Meanwhile, in the Dobrudja there
are signs that the battle soon will be
renewed. All along the Danube,
Bucharest reports, there has been in
tense artillery fire, and in the Dobrudla
skirmishes have taken place. Macken-
sen, il is believed, has received rein
forcements. and will be ready soon to
launch a new drive.
