Submarine Manifest Disproves Perkins
 Assertion on Tariff

An examination of the DeutSch- lands manifest today made ridiculous George w. Perkins attempt to make a protective tariff argument out of the sG bInarine liner Deutschlands $1O,- 0e0,0OO cargo.' MT. Perkins said:
 T call MT. Wilson's attention to the at that the newspapers are telling us today that the Deutschland arose out of the ocean yesterday with $lO,- O0O,000 of goods direct from Ger many. Evidently these goods had somehow secretly been man lfactur- ed while a large part of Germany's mechanical force is at war"
 Capt. Koenig. of the Deutschland. when shown MT. Perkins statem ent, said:
 "Mr. Perkins confuses goods with values. The Deutschland brings $10,00O,000 in values but less than $1, 100000 in goods. Nine millions or more is represented by securities to be used to strengthen Germafls credit here"
 The remainder, less than $1,000,O is in dye-stuffs, medicines and other chemicals. Hospitals and the sick are in dire need of the medicines. These goods pay a duty about the same as under the old tariff law. A portion of the goods consists of dia- 1nonds and semi-precious stones, which pay as large duty as under the old law.

GEORGIA LEADER SEES DEMOCRATIC
 CONGRESS ALSO
Congressman Adamson As sures Northern and Mid
 dle States to Wilson.

New York, Nov. 6.-Congressman Adamson of Georgia, author of the Eight-hour law, sent letter to Chair man Mccormick of the Democratic National Committee today from Wash ington, in which he says:
 "I have just returned from a trip through some of the Northern and Middle Western States. There is go- ing to be a landslide for Wilson and a Demcratic Congress. The Repub- Hcan leaders are desperate and reck- less. They are putting forth enor- nous sums of money and are shame lessly and recklessly abusing the Dem ocratic candidates, circulating all sorts of falsehoods.
 Charles O'Connor of Fort Plain, N. Y., wired Chairman Mccormick that Wilson will carry New York in a rush. we cannot 1ose," he says, unless a few millions of us drop dead between now and next Tuesday.
 Similar messages are being received hourly by Mr. Mccormick from all parts of the country

 T. S. Taliaferro, Jr., of Rock Springs, Wyo., who with Mrs. Talia- ferro are among the best known cam paigners of the West, wired:

|0'LEARY ACCOUNTING IS ASKED BY AMERICAN TRUTH SOCIETY
 MEMBER OF IRISH RELIEF FUND
Capt. John D. Maher Charges Misuse of Funds and Miscarriage of Sympathy Destined For 1reland-Asks OLeary and Moore to Say | Whether Fund Come From German, Republi- can or Irish Funds Sources.

New York. Nov. 6.-Where does the money come from for the anti Wilson propaganda of Jeremiah O'Leary of the American Truth .So- ciety, and John D. Moore, national secretary of the Friends of Irish Freedom? What has become of the funds raised by the latter Society throughout the United States osten- sibly for the relief of the destitute in Ireland?
 l Captain John D. Maher demands an accounting at once. He charges misuse of funds and miscarriage of sympathy destined for Ireland. : Maher has been lifelong Repub- tlican and was Assistant Secretary of the Kings County Republican Gen. eral Committee. He is only one of the thousands of Americans of Irish blood who have been literally forced away from MT. Hughes by the at tempts to deliver en bloc the Irish vote to Hughes.
 O'Leary and Moore have been holding meetings in Brooklyn design ed to prevent the reelection of Cen- gressman Fitzgerald and other Demo ,crats, and at these gatherings have iheaped vituperation on President Will son.
 E, Captain Maher demands that }O'Leary and Moore state whether the money to pay for these meetings comes from German sources, Repub- llican sources, or, from funds collect led by the Friends of Irish Freedom. Captain Maher says he cannot dis cover that Moore was ever identified with any Irish Society, and quotes Colonel Charley Crowley of the First Regiment, Irish Volunteers, for many years president of the United Irish Societies of New York.
 Captain Maher conferred with some lof the national and state officers of the Ancient Order of Hibernians- oldest fraternal organization in the Limited States, and made up of the real leaders among Americans of Irish descent. Every officer disclaim- Jed responsibility for either O'Leary Or Moore, and was emphatic in his condemnation of both of these men and their methods, in thus prostitut- ing the honor of their own race.
 Further light on these two politi- cal mercenaries is shed in the follow ing letter to Captain Maher from Mrs. Mary F. McWhorter, National Presi- dent of The Ladies Auxiliary of the Hfbernians:
 '"They (O'Leary and Moore) rep- resent, not the men and women of the Irish race in America but a small coterie located in New York.
 These professional agitators are attempting toAlead the people to be- Heve that they represent the Irish race in America.
 "The Friends of Irish Freedom was formed at a Race Convention in New York, March 4, 1916 Since then, a few marHpulators have made capital of the Convention.
 '"The attempt of the Friends of Irish Freedom to take part in politics should and does meet with the dis approval of all honest Americans of Irish blood.
 Appeals to our people, for gallery purposes, to be loyal to America makes my blood boil. Since when

 REASONS FOR AIDING WILL SON

| ing on the poor. MT. Hughes criti- cises him for this, but he made no | protest till after the eight-hour law was passed. As his influence might well have blocked it, we may ques- | ton his sincerity.
 Furthermore we have an admins 1 tration under the guidance of no fi- nancia1 interests or small set of
 privileged men.
 l MT. Hughes repeatedly refuses to answer questions as to what he would do in specific cases. He promises a foreign policy different from the one l that has kept us at peace. The Mex l ican muddle, bequeathed by the Re- publicans, bids fair to work itself out 1 without our interference. Does MT. Hughes actually want us to shed the /, blood of American boys to secure for tunes for those who have gambled in l Mexican concession?
 1 The opposition to the President is
 united--not with the unity of those
 who hold some great principle in
 common but with the unity of wolves | banded for the spoil. Wall Street has combined with the Republican
 politicians in a desperate attempt to
 grasp the reins of power. This IS
 their only guiding principle. Their
 greatest weapon is denuflciation, ap- peals to prejudice and party feeling.
 In the east Roosevelt fights Wilson | because he did not interfere to pre- vent the invasion of Belgium; in the l Middle West the German-American | is appealed to on racial lines because of Wilson's, attitude on submarine
 warfare.
 In still more sinister fashion the
 campaign leaders have shown their
 lack of conscience by selecting as d
 candidate a Justice of the Supreme Court Hitherto the Supreme Court
 of the United States has been the one
 austere tribunal whose members were above venal or political consideration.
 The election of Ex-Justice Hughes would cost the court it's character.
 Every judge would be potential
 campaigner, under the suspicion of guiding his consideration by his poli-
 ticaI ambitions. It is hard to imagine
 an innovation more threatening to our
 governmental fabric. Is the creator
 of such precedent a safe leader? l The prosperity of the countryside 1 in large measure to the freedom
 which all business has enjoyed-will | continue long after the war. We
 have a soundly progressive govern | ment It is for us now to decide
 whether we are a gullible and capri cious or a sensible and steadfast peo- l pie.
 Of the Progressive party, the politi- clans have joined the ranks of
 Hughes; while those who, like Thomas Edison believe in the ideals of progress, are supporting Wilson. The Wall Street business man, who hopes that once again the interests
 will wield an unseen power in Wash ington is supporting Hughes. Teh business man who, like Henry Ford
 asks no odds, is supporting Wilson. Hughes has with him the craft and shrewdness of the trained pol1t1-
 cian Wilson is no politician. He has, however, spent four years in the hard school, not of politics, but of statesmanship. He is the greatest
 and ab1est living exemplar of the force and ideals of representative government He needs your vote.

Two Damage Suits

Lemke of New York. has filed papers in the superior court in an action brought against the Me chaly Auto Go. of Stamford and liar ry Arenow of New York. He claims the defepdants were negligent and he was badly injured as result of their careless driving. He asks $3,000 damages. 5j The Mechaly Auto Co. has brought suit against Harry Arenow, who was driving the car, for $2,500. They allege that his negligent driving re-, suited in damage to the company's car to the extent of $2,500.

has it become necessary to question the patriotism and love of country of Americans of Irish blood?
 "An effort to secure my signature to a letter condemning President Will son was recently made by a man who styles himself Shamus O'Shiel and who claimed that he was sent to me by the Friends of Irish Freedom in New York. The letter was to be used in the 12 states having Women Suf- frage.
 MT. O'Shiel, as soon he made known his mission, was sent on his way. Instead of condemning Presi- dent Wilson, I admire him for his fearless and courageous answer to the telegram of O'Leary. .
 "Mr. Wilson is our President, and the Irish love andsrespect those whom they themselves have selected as their rulers, and President Wilson is no exception to this rule
 You may tell Congressman Fitz- geral that the Hibernians as body have not inspired any such action, and that they thoroughly disapprove anything of the kind''
 Sincerely yours,
 (Signed) MARY F. McWHORTER.
 "This letter tells it's own tale," said Captain Maher when he made it pub lie to-day. ''The true Americans of Irish blood within and without the Hibernian Society, thoroughly disap- prove of any attempt of any O'Leary or of any Moore to deliver the Irish vote.'"
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-11-06

(By Charles >Agnew MacLean, Editor
 of the Popular Magazine.)
 To help choose a President is the most urgent patriotic duty that falls to most of us. In the long run, votes count more than bullets. Our col lective judgment determines for tho next four years the leadership and conduct of the greatest of common wealths. It now behooves us to strive to think in straightforward fashion, to set aside prejudice, and party or local feeling, to discern justly the real issues. On the face of things the aminis- tration of the last four years has been most successful. We are a happy and prosperous nation, at peace in the midst of a world at war. At such time MT. Hughes asks us drop our pilot and accept new guidance. Why?
 He accuses the present government of lack of capacity. He criticises the tariff, the eight-hour law for rail- roads and more especially our for eign policy.
 If we steadily disregard attempts to confuse us, the judgment from the accomplished facts should be easy. The amount of constructive legisla- tion has been large. It's outstanding features, however, must be evident to all.
 We remember the panic of 1907, disturbance so serious that Presi- dent Roosevelt in alarm sought coun- sel of J. P. Morgan and granted con- sessions to his firm to tide it over. We have no panics now. Even the outbreak of the world war brought no business disturbance. In 1907 we had an antiquated banking and cur rency system that invited panics. The influence of President Wilson in pass ing the present Federal Banking Law has saved us from that menace.
 An income tax is everywhere re- garded as the fairest of all taxes. Un- regulated child labor is a condition so inhumane and dangerous to the nation that it has no defenders. Wilson we have an income tax law and a law regulating child labor.
 Many business men know that since the war, dyes and bleaches have gone to prohibitive prices. We have few IacCOT1eS to Hldko tloIn because tIlo infant dye industry was smothered by an equitable tariff law. The big woolen manufacturer had protection but he wanted to buy cheap dyes in Germany so the small dye manufac- turer had no protection. We also remerber that at every presidential election we suffred industrial unrest because of threatened disturbance of the tariff by a new Congress. The new Federal Tariff Commission will ultimately change our mode of de- termining a tariff from a scramble and bargain among different strong interests in Congress to the sound and constructive system that built up Ger man commerce. Our system of pro- lection henceforward is to be scien- tific rather than political.
 We have a larger and more efficient army and navy than four years ago.
 We have freer business and easier money conditions for farmers.
 With the help of Republican Con- gressmen, President Wilson averted a railroad strike that would have in- ficted untold deprivation and suffer-

COMMON COUNCIL MEETS.

u.he common council last evening Voted $200 more to w. w. Holcomb b, Esq, for his services as chief engineer of the fire department making $500 in all. This is not enough. MT. H. spent large share of his time and did q great amount of labor while chief of the department. To him, in fact. belongs the greater part of the credit of our present complete and efficient fire arrangements. To effect 1t, he worked hard and un- ceaAngly. We submit, therefore, that he is entitled to full remuneration for the expense to which he was subject ed, and to a liberal compensation for the time and services he devoted to the city.
