be impossible to lose.
 We know how business men like you are called upon and it is really embarrassing to the mem # bers of, this committee to have to worry men like yourself, but we are giving our entire time to the work and must raise some more money at once, and our only chance is by calling on those who are interested in the success of our efforts.
 If you knew the absolute ne- cessity of certain work to be done, what it means toward the success of our movement, and could see the judicious manner in which every dollar raised by this com- mittee is being expended, I fee. quite confident that you would either help us yourself or get some of your friends interested to the extent of making a contribu- ton. What is to be done must be accomplished within a week, so please advise us at once.
 Very truly yours,
 R. M. AUSTIN,
 Chairman Finance Committee.

Said MT. Cummings, today, to rep resentative of The Farmer:
 Representations have been made to me regarding election methods in Fairfield county which seem to make it necessary that the returns should be investigated, and that means should be taken to probe the excessive use of money which seems to have taken place."
 MT. Cummings declined to say what representations had been made, saving that the cause of justice might be defeated. But it is known that litel ally scores of facts point to very serious conditions which in glaring impropriety much exceed the facts brou ght out by the investigation into the campaign methods of E. J. Hill, two years ago.
 Connecticut has population of l. 114,f6e.
 Fairfield county has only 245,322 of this population.
 The state gave Hughes only 1,293 outside the county.
 But inside the county Hughes got, by the face of the returns, 4,199. .One-fifth of the population gave Hughes about four times as much plurality as the other four-fifths.
 This disproportionate, unexpected, unusual and peculiar result has at 1tracted the attention of national cam paign managers on both sides. It will not go unscrutinized.
 In the interest of a pure ballot the proper authorities will inquire as to hese facts.
 How much money came into Connecticut, and how much in to Fairfield county?
 Who gave the money?
 Who received>it it in Bridgeport, in the coun y and in the state?
 Who paid it out and what was it paid out for?
 How many men were employed as workers in Fairfield county?
 Were 1000 employed, or 2,000, or more?
 Who paid these workers, how much did they get and what were the terms of their employment
 There are many and grave facts that require explanation, which will have to be explained.
 One of the features of the election is the following letter, which was sent to a gentleman in. Bridgeport asking him for funds, to make it impossible for Republicans to lose in close dis tricts. because certain work would be done.
 Federal authority wants to know if Fairfield county was one of the close districts. In which money was to be mobilized and certain work done so that it would be impossible to lose. This is the letter:

Health officers throughout the state
have been notified by the secretary OF
the state board of health to be on the
watch for measles as a result of the

likely to occur The letter received by
DR.. Henry Tucker is as follows:
Dear Sir:-It has been brought to the
attention of the state board of health
that the men of the Vermont National
Guard militia were exposed to measles
Just before leaving Texas and few cases
have developed in the ranks, thus caus-
ing further exposure,
These men probably viii be mustered
out of service on Friday, Oct. 8, AID will
be travelling to all parts of the state.
Health officers are advised to be on
the alert against the possible introduc-
ton OF measles through this source and
also to be on the lookout for measles

SEEK MEN IN
ALLEGED PLOT
TO KILL SHONTS
Yesterday-Two Strikers Said to
Be Involved Are Held on
Charge of Stonlrg
Trains.

New York, Oct. THE police prom
ised more arrests yesterday in connec-
zion with an alleged plot to kill President
Theodore P. Shonts of the Interborough
Rapid Transit company, and Frank Had
ley, manager of the New York Railways
company. Two men, said to be striking
subway guards, arrested yesterday were
held on charges of stoning an elevated
train. The police declared they had evil
dence that these men were involved in
the supposed conspiracy, but refrained
from bringing such charge against
them until Others were arrested.
According to detectives, one OF them,
posing as a striker got evidence ten
days ago that plans were being laid to
kill Shonts and Hadley The two trac-
ton officials were warned and given per
mission to carry pistols. The two men
now under arrest were closely watched
until Thursday night, when they were
seen taking part in an attack on an
elevated train.
The prisoners who gave their names
as Oscar Wallace and John j. Sheeran,
were questioned for several hours yester-
day, but the police said that to reveal
the result OF this examination might
hamper them in continuing the investi-
cation.

+" HOME RULE is

John Redmond Also Declares in Notable
Speech That CONSUMPTION Cannot
Be Forced on Ireland

Waterford, Ireland Oct. I'm not
able address to his constituents here yes
terday afternoon John Redmond, the
Irish Nationalist leader in Parliament
declared that despite the recent rebel
lion, with all its inevitable aftermath
of brutalities, stupidities and inflamed
passions" home rule for Ireland is safe,
if Ireland remains sane.
Mr.. Redmond also declared that con.
scription could never be forced upon Ire
land. adding:
81 cannot bring myself to believe that,
malign though the influences at work
are. the government will be insane
enough to challenge a conflict with Ire
land on this subject. CONSUMPTION for
Ireland far from helping the army and
the war, would be the most fatal thing
that could happen"
IT would be resisted in every village in
Ireland. Its attempted enforcement
would be a scandal which would ring
around the world. 1t would produce no
additional men"
Continuing, Mr. Redmond said
"The mere threat is paralyZing re
cruting, which, mark you, is not dead, as
some people say. The latest figures, in
deed, show that from the date OF the
rising Easter Sunday until September
5000 recruits were received This de-
mand for CONSUMPTION is not a genuine
military demand 1t is base political
device put forward by men who want to
iniure and discredit lreland's political
future"

welcome to the executive Thursday has
made a deep impression on the Demo

The demonstration accorded his every
appearance was unique in the history OF
the Nebraska metropolis, Nebraskans
declared. 1t reached a climax Thursday
night when thousands lined the streets
OF Omaha until late hour to cheer him.
The great auditorium was damned to the
doors to hear him.
But outside of the crowds which might
have focked to pay tribute to any execu-
tive, the presidents friends pointed to
the outbursts of the auditorium throng.
Question after question sprang from the
audience, each one hailed with an out
burst of cheering.
"Who kept us out of the war; was
one. wilson came the answering
roar
"Who saved the nation:' Again
"Wilson!"
"Who prevented the great strike 2"
"Who gave us the eight hour day."
who gave us the rural credits?" were
asked and always with applause and the
answer was "Wilson."
The first mention Of the presidents
name by Gov. Moorehead in his introduc-
tory speech, his appearance in the audi
forum and his rising to speak each were
heralded by an ovation lasting several
minute.
