crooked or he loses his political fu-
ture. What chance has Thompson
to become candidate for senatorship
or presidency unless he provides ''Op-
pOrtUnities" for the hosts that make
up his supporters? This is true of
all men who seek political prestige
under present conditions.
To plead with a man of even
stronger mettle than Thompson
under these circumstances isl am
going to use an awful word usually
hurled at Socialists visionary. The
caliber of the man doesn't matter
the system should be your target,
And now, assuming that we are
wise as to modern political and cor
pOration intrigue, l wish to offer a
little opinion as to the glorious part
Thompson took in the street car mat
ter. When the men went out the
street car officials thought Chicago
would go wild with Distress dis
tress such as capitalists are forecast
ing in the threatened steam railroad
strike. This was their experience nj
the past Well, vehicles filled the
loop skyscrapers and stores without
the aid of street cars. The manner
in which the city went about its bus
mess astonished the traction officials.
1t. all had been done practically by
automobiles! Great God! In the
west the titney buses had been rails
ing the dickens one street car
line had been busted" What if Chi
cago should tire of the strike and de-
velop nice jitney bus system? Hor-
rors!
The traction magnates were
frightened; one day was enough!
They wanted to quit at once; but to
surrender openly would have been
folly. The tip goes to the mayor that
he can get credit for a fine coup. The

does not kiss any fellow she happens

Now, 1 shall probably never see

don't doubt that if he ever thinks Of
me it will be in the same way.

would be empty long before four
years had passed. Their dinner pals
are more than full, they say, and have
been for over year.
From the Union Metallic Cartridge
plant in Bridgeport have come two
candidates for the office of State Sena-
tor. Owen Burns, plant foreman,
was nominated by the Democrats.
Two days later the Republicans noni-
mated John Y. Caldwell, also a fore
man.
Both men are popular, but Burns
is regarded more favorably in a po-
litical sense
Munitlon Vote for Wilson.
Hugh Lavery, chairman Of the
Bridgeport Democratic Town Com
mittee, has a brother in one of the
plants. He says that the munition
workers will give Wilson Is per cent.
of their vote. He figures the Social
lists will get about 5 per cent. David
E. Fitzgerald, Democratic State Chair
man, agreed with these figures. But
even though they expect to get strong
support-comparati = from this
source, the Democratic leaders do not
believe that the munition vote will
figure largely in the result.
eff they didn't find it necessary to
move around so much" Mr.. Fitzger-
aid said, there would be a tremen-
dous difference in the size of this
vote"
1t is the Republican contention that
while the boom workers may incline
more toward the President than Mr..
Hughes, there will not be the wide
swing to Wilson that the Democrats
predict. They believe that the work
ers will vote much as they have in
other Presidential years.
In 1912 New Haven county gave
Mr.. Wilson 22,368, Mr.. Taft 1913
and Mr.. Roosevelt 1913. Fairfield
county gave Mr.. Wilson 1868, Mr..
Taft 13,14S and Mr.. Roosevelt 1852.
Mr.. Wilson by $4,000 is the Demo-
cratic state prediction for this year.
The Republicans say it will be Hughes
by 10000.

ELM CITY CONCERN
us AWARDED JOB OF
|WRECKING BUILDING
Gets Contract !. But Bid
Wasn't According to the
Specifications.

After once advertising for bids and
then rejecting them, the board OF
charities at special session Monday
afternoon decided to award the con-
tract for razing Lakeview home to the
Connecticut Wrecking Co., although
the bid of this company was not in &C
cordance with the specifications as adj
vertised by the board of contract and
supply. The Connecticut Wrecking
Co. made two bids and filed them
within 20 minutes Of each other yes
terday. The bids as advertised called
for the razing OF the building and the
cleaning and piling Of the brick to
remain the property of the city OF
Bridgeport. All other material IN
the building was to remain the prop
erty of the bidder. On these specifi-
cations four Of the bidders other than
the successful one, based their bids
The Connecticut Wrecking Co. first
offered to give the city $1.750 and
take everything in the building. Twen-
ty minutes later it filed another bid
offering to pay the city $3.50 and
take everything, the last bid to be
the final bid No time limit for
razing the building was set by the
bidder. The board of charities con-
cluded that this was the best offer
and accepted it.
Charles B. Hand, a contractor of
Boston avenue, offered to remove the
building in 100 days for $685.. c..
l.. Chamberlain of Milford, the con-
tractor who wrecked the North Con-
gregational church, asked the city to
pay him $500 or offered to give $500
and take all the material In the
building including the brick. He made
no time limit on the removal.
The New England Wrecking Co. of
New Haven asked payment from the
city Of $245, bidding strictly according
TO specifications and set time limit
Of four months for the job.
john Cowperwaite and Edmond e.
Booth asked the city to pay $1,000
for the removal of the building &C
cording to specifications.
President F. w. Behrens, Jr., of the
charities board said yesterday that the
contract was awarded in the judg-
ment Of the member to the best ad-
vantage Of the city. He said that the
member considered the brick in the
north and oldest wing Of the building
too old and soft to be worth anything
as salvage.
1t had been the plan Of the board
to build a carpenter shop blacksmith
shop and mammoth barn with the
bricks salvaged after the building
was RACED.

Congestion from through traffic, In
the citys busiest corner, Fairfield ave-

growing problem with merchants

that they are seriously considering
radical steps to better their condition.

the proposition Of removing from the

Dever H. Warner, president Of the

that the proposition of removal had
been under consideration, denied that
the move had been definitely decided
upon or that it woul be- done at once

in the center of the city are intoler-

ing a brief interview that THE time is
coming when traffic conditions must
be remedied or business will be driven
