DE M0CRATIC CAMPAIGN
 TO OPEN TONIGHT WITH
 BLAZE OF ENTHUSIASM

With the expectation that tonight will seeS n1e greatest outburst of en- thusiasm for Democracy Bridgeport has seen in many years, committees are making final arrangements for a rally tonight at the State street Ca sino, when all the candidates on the Democratic state ticket, and John Temple Graves. the noted Southern orator and editor, will address a gath ering that probably will tax the ca pacity of the big hall.
 A great parade and demonstration, in which red fire will abound, a salute to the Democratic banner at Main and Wall streets, and a great turnout of persons who are enthusiastic for Pres tdent Wilson and the state ticket, will precede the rally.
 [ No campaign in recent years has opened so auspictously for the Demo cratic party in Bridgeport. Coupled with the fact that President Wilson has given the country an unequalled administration, is the fact that Bridge port and the state are tired of the public be-darned policy of the Repub- Means in office.
 The parade will form at The strat- field, and 1t is hoped start may be made at 7:30 o'clock. The Homer s. Cummings Marching club of Stamford, with it's band, will be in the van. Fol lowing the members of this organiza- tion will be the Wheeler & Wilson band.
 The Woodrow Wilson Marching club will come next, followed By the Young Mems Woodrow Wilson club.
 Hugh J. L.avery, chairman of the Democratic town committee, will be grand marshal of the parade. He will

be assisted by the chairman of each district, who will march behind the Young Mems Woodrow Wilson club.
 As the procession is passing the han ner, on which are the likeneses of President Wilson and Vice President Marshall, both bands will play ''The Star Spangled Banner" and other se- lections.
 A salute of 21 guns will be fired on the Wall street dock with cannon.
 The candidates on the state ticket, and MT. Graves will be the guests of Judge Morris B. Beards1ey, nominee for governor, at The Stratfield, pre- ceding the parade. The banqueters will take seats in automobiles after the dinner and swing in behind the district chadrmen.
 It is expected the procession will ar- rive at the Casino about o'clock. MT. Lavery will open the meeting, in- troducing Charles SCanfield, the chair man cf the rally. c MT. Graves will be the speaker of the evening. He is great attraction as an orator, and is noted for his progressiveness. He is. certain to be of tremendous interest.
 Judge Beardsley will make his first public appearance of the campaign to- night and he is expected to be accord ed a great welcome States Attor- ney Cummings advent in Bridgeport has been looked forward to with keen Interest, both by those who have heard him speak before and those who have heard of his splendid oratorical abil- tty. Short addresses will be made by the other speakers.

PARK CITY LEADS
 N. E. CITIES FOR NEW STRUCTURES.
Construction Records Show Bridgeport Had Boom in
 September.

Bridgeport building operations for the month of September far exceed in nnmber of permits and valuation those of any other city in Connecticut and come second in the list of New Eng land cities excluding Boston, which is not included in a list compiled by Bradstreet's weekly review.
 Exceeded in New England by the city of Worcester only, which shows aggregate values of s5S6,550 on 1853 permits, Bridgeport shows $547,541 on 203 permits, relatively greater amount of construction work.
 Hartford issued only. TIT permits ag- gregating $246,497. New Haven with 143 permits this month has fallen to $S23,s45 against $1,47S,499 for the year 1915. f
 From these figures it will be seen that building operations in this city, in number of buildings, eclipse those of any city of New England for the month,

The case of Holland is stmple5t-d It concerns only the BloomersdfJlSi which was sunk off the New Englandi coast by the German submarine U-53J Germany is unwilling to accept the cabled version of the circumstances, under which the Bloomersdijk was, sunk and is convinced the submarinei commander must have kept within thea German prize regulations as strictlyt enjoined. Full compensation has beent offered, in the event that the com- mander~ exceeded his instructions
 Spain's grievances have to do with the sinking of fruit steamers. Strictly speaking, these are valid prizes Sbe- cause the cargo is contraband, boundI for hostile ports. The Spanish gov- ernment. however, has pointed out, that the prosperity of tff1e country and particularly of the great class of small | fruit raisers has been affected serfous- ly by interruptions of this trade and Germany has offered to let such ships pass unmolested if they ars~provided with proper certificates From German consuls and if the entente allies per- mits similar cargoes to pass for Ger man markets. No reply has been re- ceived. 2 +
 rhh Norwegian measures barring stibmapines 1om Norwegian waters in accordance with the British memoran- dunn is regarded as incompatible withua Norwegian neutrality. No exhaustive report on the legal aspects of the question has as yet reached Dr. Zim- [ mermann's hands but the heNunder-secre- tary said the matter undoubtedly | would be the subject of a strong pro-. test to Norway. He took the position that Norway was unjustified under in- ternational in differentiating among classes of warships and making rules applying to one specific class.
 Dr. Zimmermann spoke with high reply to the memorandum of the en- tente allies on the treatment of sub-i marines. He declared it was marked by a true spirit of neutrality.
 The appearance and activity >of a German submarine off the American coast had not been made the subject of diplomatic negotiations or compli- cations, he continued, and all reports indicated that the German commander had observed in every way the letter and the spirit of Germanys undertSk- ings with the United etateA
 He said no communications on that subject had been received, either through \the German embassy at Washington or through the American embassy here. "

NORMAL SCHOOL: , SENIORS WON'T
 GET ANY. WAGES
Superintendent Slawson Says He Doesn't See Why
 They Should Be Paid.

The custom of paying each senior of the dhty Normal school s25 for teaching services rendered during the 'senior year, either with classes at the Normal school or when substituting for other teachers, probably will be abolished this year. The board of ed- ucation has made no provision for these payments as yet and President Ravens and other members of the board have not made up their minds whether or not they will recommend an appropriation for this purpose.
 Superintendent of Schools Samuel J. Slawson said today that he did not know Whether or not the seniors would be paid. for these services. He said that if payments were made they would beNin one sum at the end of the year and not in small monthly pay ments as has been the custom. He said that personally he could see no reason for the payments. He said the city furnished the Normal school and opportunities to teach classes <br to substitute for teachers, was a part of the training of the seniors for which they ought to be grateful, rather than expect pay. He said the matter rests entirely with the board of education and he had no idea what action would be taken.
 He denied the rumor that because of the size of the junior class at the Nor mai school that elimination exeami- nations were to be instituted. The class has 51 members and is the larg- est in the history of the city. supt Slawson said that the usual prelimi- nary examinations in music and ele- mntary work are being conducted and it is possible some Pf the members of the junior class will not pass Those who fail will not be admitted for tui- ton.

 NEGLECTED -TTJMULTY
Secretary to President, in Letter to Counsel For Sir Roger, / Refutes Charge That United States Didn't Act Promptly.
Senate Resolution Asking Clemency Received in Time By British Govern ment, Records in Embassy at Capital Point Out.

Long Branch, N. J., Oct. 16.- A letter from Secretary Tumul- ty to Michael Francis Doyle, at torney for Sir Roger Easement, containing a denial that the American government was neg 1igent in its efforts to save Sir Roger, was made public to-day.
 MT. Tumulty replied to a letter from MT, Doyle saying Mrs. Newman, Sir Rogers sister. had received informa- ton from London that her brothers life might have been spared had the resolution urging slemency passed by the United States Senate been forward ed to the British foreign office more promptly.
 Mr. Tumulty quoted from a/letter sent him by Frank L. Polk, acting sec- retary of state. when the Basement matter was pending. as follows:
 Tt can be said that the, state de- partment discussed the Sir Roger Easement matter with the British am- bassador on several occasions. infor- malH. but in great detail, before the passAge of the senate resolution. The Senate resolution was prepared on a Saturday and special messenger con- veyed the resolution to the British ann baasador.

The stateznents made in letters to Mrs. Newman that, had the resolution been presented in time, her brothers life would have been spared. were utterly and entirely without foundation. You can state authoritatively that the ann i baasador read me the actual message from his government stating the reso- lution had been considered and that the. conclusion had bon reached thaf clemency could not 1ge granted"

Issues Letter Displaying Amazing Lack of 1nforma-

FRIENDS TRY TO
 STOP CIRCULATION
But Letter Gets Out and Adds to Troubles in 9th
 District\G. o. P. Ranks.

The. people of the Ninth district woke to glad hdings when they re- ceived their morning mail Each doorway admitted a letter from Will liam E. Primrose, who is Republican chairman of the district, informing them that the European war will soon be over >~ To make the measure of his bounty full MT. Primrose warns the district not to fall in love with ithe prosperity which marks life there.
 The distinguished former alderman fears the citizens of the Ninth are for getting the tariff.
 Some of the recipients immediately rushed around to stop any more letters going out. They didn't want the district to get on to the fact that their chairman didn't know the tariff is now in the hands of a non-partisan commission, and out of politics.
 This is the joyful letter, which MT Primrose wrote: Dear Sir: f.
 Having been appointed district chairman of the Republican par ty, I feel it is incumbent ppon me to make a special effort to inf1u- ence every loyal Republican to take active interest in the com ing national election.
 We are confronted at this time, owing to the European war, by an unprecedented industrial con- dition. This, I am afraid, will result in large percentage of our citizens overlooking the question of the tariff, and the ateolute ne- cessity that governmental power should be vested in the party friendly to an adequate tariff that will protect our Industries against any conditions that may arise upon the cessatiop< of hos tilities.
 What are to be the commercial relations of the variess industrial nations of Europe. Wan peace is declared? It seems to me, it is / not reasonable to suppose that the bitterness and ennity engender- ed by this conflict will be forgot ten, with the laying aside of arms; but it is bound to extend long in- to the future with the result that some of the most active industrial -, nations will be deprived of the markets they enjoyed in the past. Will not the United States be looked upon as a, market for their surplus manufacturers? What will be our condition. if the Dem ocratic party is in control of the government-thep party avowedly unfriendly to- the principles of protection? look upon this possibility with great concern and anxiety.
 There is every reason to be- lieve that this war will not con- tinue to any great length into the next administration. It is, there fore the duty of every citizen, who is in sympathy with the acknowl- edged advanced social conditions of the American workingman, to use his best efforts in advancing the election of Mir. Hughes, and controlling influence in both branches of Congress.
 I, therefore, appeal to you to use every effort to bring about this result.
 Yours very truly,
