FORD ORDERS POURING IN.
Great Activity At Local Agency.

The past two weeks have been BAN
ner ones in the history of the local
Ford agency. At least one car has
been sold every day, while some days
have averaged as high as three and
four orders, with prospects of even
larger demands in the last two weeks
of the month.
This augurs well for the popularity
of the new model and Mr.. Piercey is
making every effort to secure carload
shipments in the near future to sup
ply the unprecedented demand.
For those contemplating a car for
the delightful autumn days, when
roads are dressed in natures pleasing
reds and browns, a possible disap-
pointment on delivery, can be avoided
by signing your contract now, as or
ders may be placed with the proviso
of accepting car at any date suitable
up to the first of the year.

500 REWARD, S1OO.

The readers Of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages and that is catarrh. Catarrh
being greatly influenced by constitutional
conditions requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Medicine is taken internally
and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur
faces of the System thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in the cura-
tive powers of Halls Catarrh Medicine that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list Of testi-
monials.

CHILD LABOR BILL

T~ HE EXPECTED resistance to the Child Labor bill will
 materiaze An unofficial poll of the Senate shows that overwhelming majority of the members will vote The Democratic caucus representing the Democrats n the Senate has voted to give the bill early place.
 Thus President Wilson able to- distinguish between impor and things, has brought to pass shortly
 pass piece of humane legislation of far more value to the country than most of the remedial laws by Congress.
 For years satespen have talked of putting this through at the end it has always been left untouched Many states passed which prevent the employment children Many others have not It is the dearest jusce states which permit the employment of child abor those which do not that Federal law should equalize the condition.
 This prime justification for the law, however supported by the profound facts of child e The children under 16 years adapted long hours of exhansng labor To submit the little to nation is services of will not work his before has attained urity much less then should work their children
 The opposition to the bill when it up and there will be some opposition will be based upon state rights The doc rne of state rights severely olted by the Civil War has application matters whichare the of the whole nation.
 The of law during the last twenty years has steadily toward condng to the nation those things which belong to it.
 The principle of state rights potent impeding nent against workmens compensation and the eight hour day. claim that competition made equal between the industries of the several states.
 Bridgeport nsance works under the compensation act does employ children in the shops grants the eight hour day and so Bridgeport has clear moral claim to much Federal interference will make these basic conditions uniform throughout the country.

WILSON HIS FREE CHOICE
Voter, Proud of Independence, Sa,
 Hughes Offers Nothing.


 ''I have. in my voting career cast my ballot for Cleveland, Mckinley, Bryan and Roosevelt, and therefore can claim some degree of independence" said c. w. Alcott of New Haven, in letter to the Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
 There are so many reasons con- tinued Mr. Alcott, "why an independ- ent should prefer Wilson to Hughes that I am afraid your space would all be taken up in the. enumeration. will therefore give but three all suf- ficient reasons for the faith within me.
 First, the President is absolutely honest and conscientious in all his undertakings, and his high ideals and moral purposes both at home and abroad have spread their influence for good throughout the nation.
 Second, many great achievements for the benefit of mankind when thrown into the scales against his mistakes oi judgment so far outweigh the errors that the balance in favor of the good that he has done can not be estimated
 Third, MT. Hughes has nothing to offer that we as nation are not all ready in possession of."

A HARD PILGRIMAGE

The primary bow that spanned
 Bridgehampton with such far-seen
 brilliance, faded into secondary, fad ed away. Darkness succeeded. Very
 glum that once illuminated patch of
 sky stared at Chairman Wilcox as he drove on Sunday to the candidates
 house, so recently a house of happy dreams. MT. Hughes was going to make only a dozen speeches. What
 was the use of more? Prcgressives
 W ere weeping ;. yously on R. publican necks. State afte. State w.s being carried by rapt Feers. Then came the
 Battle of Syracuse. following so many reverses of the Elephant Moose Allies Harmony and sugar plums had to be
 given up. The Middle-of- Road
 Progressi1es were out for elephant ip la dozen States. MT. Wilcox puts
 the case pootically still. So many cit ies are yearning to hear MT. Hughes
 that he really must lengthen his speech-making expedition. In cold prise, the brethren are getting fright ened. Where, indeed, is MT. Hughes presence not needed? Tn convrsion of 8 Utah, Dmocrat is proclaimed with Jubilee. Is the Grand Old Party weak of knee even in Utah and Vermont? :? To Maine MT. Hughes must go, of
 course. Colonel Frederick Hale, the Republican who wishes to be shod with the Senatorial shoon of the Hon. Charles F. Johnson, has enlisted ten or twelve Senators to help him and the anxious Dirigo Republicans. This Democrat Johnson is strong. Colonel
 Hale is not too warmly loved by some | of. his rivals and party associates. As a September State" Maine is of the |uttermost importance to the Repub- licans. There they must get the first fruits of the campaign. Massachu-
 setts with its Progressive insurrectos
 may well cry for his aid. In Connec- ticut and New Jersey, with New York, | he must maintain a home mission. In l the Middle West and War West, which now especially yearn for his services, where shall he begin and how leave loff?f
 If he is{to preach Americanism, he
 has plenty of Republicans who stand l in need of conversion. He will find
 them in Ohio and Indiana. In Wis
