MENACE WE ARE FACING

There Is a division in the counses
of the Democratic party as 10 the dan
ger that will confront this country I'M
prepared for the onslaught on our
home market, when the war closes All
rational beings recognize the prospec-
tive peril What is the voter who has
not yet made up his mind TO believe
after reading the latest official utter
ances OF Democratic Chairman Vance
Mccormick and the Democratic CN,ir-
man Of the Federal Trade Commission,
Edward n. Hurley Mr.. Mccormick de-
clares that it is perfectly incOncelv-
able" that any sensible man can be-
lieve that the European countries will
be In position to compete with the
United States after the war, or that
their Industrial situation will be such,
for years to come, as to enable them
to undersell this country, either with
in the United States or in those it
trades with.
Chairman Hurley, on the other hand,
who was appointed because of his wido
experience in developing foreign trade
and who has been to Europe recently
to look into the prospects Of industrial
competition with the United States,
declares his conviction that the Euro
pean belligerents have achieved a very
remarkable efficiency, that never be-
fore have they been in a position to
produce manufactures with such econ
omy and expedition, and he warns his
country that it must expect the keen
est foreign competition in its expert
ence once the European war ends. 1t
has been long obvious that the Wilson
administration believed in being all
things to all men, but seldom has
there been so radical a divergence Of
assertion in the declarations Of its Of
ficial spokesman.
The only safe thing to do next Tues
day Is to vote for Hughes and
protection and the permanenco OF
prosperity.

Woodrow Wilson Is not dependable.

paid out $5,OO0.O0O in the guise of New Haven Company to banking houses in New York, Boston, and else where, in which some of them were financially interested, and such com- missions were grossly in excess of any fair or reasonable commissions for any services performed by the banking houses.
 The complaint alleges that more than $150,000 of the New Ravens s money was paid by the alleged con- spirators to lawyers, expert account ants, clerks, bookkeepers, detectives, and other persons, for the purpose of defeating the object of an investiga- ton which the Interstate Commerce Commission was conducting in 1909 into the affairs of the company, and to prevent disclosure of the facts now complained of by the stockholders.
 At the offices of the New Haven in this city it was said no statement would be issued concerning the suit. It was explained that the actions com plained of occurred during the former administration of the road, and that the suit is being brought against the ex-officers, directors, and attorneys as individuals. The fact that the rail- road itself was included among the defendants, it was said was merely a technicality.

Special Session May Discuss Aid for
 Soldiers Dependents

Hartford, Aug. 31.-That the ques- tion of aiding the dependents of Con- necticut militiamen who are now serving on the Mexican border may come up for action before the special session of the legislature called for September 12 was intimated last night by Governor Marcus H. Holcomb. The special session was called primarily to settle the matter of allowing Con- necticut National Guardsmen to vote in the Presidential election, but the plan of aiding dependents can be brought up at this session, said Gov ernor Holcomb
 Aside from the question of allow ing mflitiamen to vote, I do not know of any other matter to come up at the special session." said the governor, "un- less it is the plan to aid the families of the soldiers. The question of aid ing dependents can be acted upon at this time. Other matters could come up, but do not know of any at this time"
 The question of aiding dependents has been considerably agitated in the larger cities of the state and 1t is now likely that it will be brought up, at least for discussion. at the special ses- sion.

 In the complaint it is alleged that the commission has failed and refused to consider the actual necessity for the removal of the trees in proposed double tracking projects of the Con- nectlcut Co. on that street between Main street and Blakeman Place.
 Further allegations in the con- plaint indicate that the laying of the tracks is unjust and unequita ble, that unsafe conditions would be caused by the laying of the tracks and that the plans of the Connecticut Co. were not approved by the trustees.

LEADERS SPEED
 LEGISLATION TO HALT BIG STRIKE
Eight-HOur Bill Will Be Passed at Once, Is
 Belief.

Washington, Aug. 31-The eight hour day bill, on which most Con- gressional leaders az ee, if enacted by Saturday night, will be sufficient jus tification, in the opinion of brother hood leaders. for calling off the rail- way strike, set for next Monday. This today was the main source of optim- ism that the great industrial tie-up would not occur.
 Enactment into law of the Presi- dents eight hour day bill as now drawn, guaranteeing the present 10 hour day wage" said w. G. Lee, head of the trainmen's brotherhood, Twill .nent of our differences with the rail- roads and there will be no strike. In order to prevent a strike, however this. bill must become a law before next Saturday midnight"
 The Senate interstate commerce committee arranged it's first public hearings on the measure today and allowed three hours each for argu- ment by brotherhoods and railroads.
 The plan was to present the finish ed draft to the Senate, Saturday, ready for immediate action.
 The House, however. was not dis posed to wait so long.
 It's leaders set Friday afternoon as the time when they would take the initiative if the Senate had not act ed, and gave assurance that the House would pass the measure then under special rule, making it effective Mo- vember 1.
 The measure contemplated would establish eight hours as the standard work for railroad employees engaged in interstate commerce; it would au- thorize appointment by the President of the commission to study general conditions under the eight hour day and report it's recommendations to Congress, the President and through the President to the interstate com merce commission, pending the re- port daily wages should not be re- duced below the present pay for long, CT hours.
 Other measures were under coi- temptation, but the eight hour day and investigation proposals were re- garded as the most effective pieces of emergency legislation.
 The attitude of Congress today that of determination to prevent the strike-was exemplified by the reso- Iution, pending in the Senate, calling on brotherhood officials to suspend the strike order for one week, and the statement of Senator Thomas, that if the government failed to protect the public in such crisis, it had no right to call itself a government.

WIFE WANTED"
 GETS BRIDE FOR
 BEDDING CITIZEN
Father of Eight Meets Ad. Answerer at Noon and
 Marries Her at Night.

Bedding, Aug. 31-When Mrs Fred Crouch died about year ago leaving her husband as the sole guardian of their eight young children the case naturally excited the compassionate Interest of their neighbors at Bedding Center As soon as possible, how ever. an aunt of MT. Crouch came from England to act as his house. keeper and everything went we'll un- til she gave up the position recently to go to New York. Then there was another community wave of sympa- thetic worriment which continued un- til the occurrences of last Friday. gave an entirely new turn to the sit- uation.
 Towards noon on that day there ar- { rived by train at West Bedding a woman, who was promptly conveyed by E. F. Sanford's auto to the Crouch home at the head of Bedding Glen. Soon afterwards, MT. Crouch called at the town clerks office on the mis- sion of obtaining a marriage license. From his statements in answer to the usual inquiries it appeared that the name the prospective bride was Lucy B. Bell, residence Louisville, Ky, age 42 and condition unmarried. Early the same evening Lew War ner took MT. Crouch and Miss Bell in his auto to the parsonage of the Cen- ter Methodist church where Rev. MT. Case performed the marriage cere- mony The news quickly spread and soon after the welded pair returned to their home they received a. visit from hastily organized 'serenading party who madeesa lot of noise and verbally conveyed to the couple ex- pressions of their good wishes.
 It was soon learned that the cou- pie met for the first time on the day of their wedding and that the match had it's origin from an ad- vertisement published by the bride in paper devoted to that style of liter ature. MT. Crouch chanced upon the notice and as it struck in him a re- sponsive chord he started a corre- spondence which led to an exchange of photographs and progressed to the happy termination reached in their appearance before the minister who made them one.
