"DRY' DEMOCRATS
SMACK LIPS AFTER
VISIT TOCORNWELL
Young Town Democrats Try to
Make People Believe Court
House is Crowded.

THAT was an outrage" said a prom
inent Bridgeport Democrat after the
Cornwell meeting here Wednesday
night. as he stood in a group that had
gathered on the outside OF the court
house.
reporter asked him what he
meant He replied why that bunch
of Young town Democrats standing
purposely in the front door of the
courthouse to keep the crowd back so
that the public would be deceived into
believing that the house was SO taxed
that an overflow meeting was neces-
sary.'
And that Bridgeport Democrat was
not the only countryman hot under
the collar, either.
One prominent local Democrat
Thursday morning in boasting about
the size OF the crowd said:
why the room was half full before
the speaking began"
The Exponent said the crowd began
TO gather at 6 o'clock in the court
house. The janitor was there.
That parade was joke. Boy Scouts
figured in 1t but they didn't have their
uniforms on.
Thursday mornings aftermath Of
the meeting reminded casual OBJ
servers Of that old Democratic cry Of
free liquor. A well known young
man about town suspected OF being
an active bootlegger visited the can
didates room at the hotel and there
were two or three dozen dry" Demo-
Gratis on hand. The way they smacked
their lips when they left the room
indicated that they had had some
thing.

ton.

ciousness. see in the morning
papers that the Democratic women

why 1t is virtuous to have 100000
autos and wicked to have a special

they would represent an investment
OF at least sac, 100000, which makes
the headlight of our special train
seem pale and dim. II woman is
a plutocrat because she can sub
scribe toward the special and our
subscriptions ran from 81 up why
isn't she plutocrat II she has car
to lend for month. I wonder how
expensive car you can have and
still be a Democrat In good and reg
ular standing. The interest that our
train is arousing through the West
shows what people before really think
of 1t. We expected to handle three
crowds day. We are now handling
eight. No one else is meeting as
many groups except the candidate
himself.
1.-The most regrettable aspects Of
the attack on the train Is the per-
sonal tone that has Intentionally been
given to them. The Republican wom-
en- throughout this campaign have
played straight clean politics, with,
out descending to personalities in any
single case and there are personali-
ties that could be used in this cam

that the general feeling among Amer

GERM OF PARALYSIS

New York, Oct. IA peculiar germ

paralysis has produced an infection
similar to infantile paralysis when in

DR.. c. j. ROsenoW. of the Mayo foun-

dressed a meeting of the New York
Academy of Medicine.
DIR. RosenoH said that experiments
had been conducted on rabbits, guinea
pige, monkeys, cats and dogs. He de-
clared marked improvement was shown
in cases of infantile paralysis following
the removal of the tonsilS and ade-
nOids.
When cultures made from the germs
found in the abscessed tonsils and ade-
noids of patients We're injected into
the lower animals. DR.. Rosenow added.
tho paralysis developed in from "a
hours to 10 days. The time depended
upon the size of the injection.
Dr.. Rosenow SAID he did not advo-
cate the remova of tonsils in persons
afflicted with i%nfantile paralysis as a
means to recovery. The number of eX-
periments had been too small to prove
valuable in his particular connection.

Runltnian forces operating in Dobrudja

The Stockholm report, as yet uncon-
firmed from Petrograd aroused the

renewal of heavy fighting in the Bal
kans Doth on the Rumanian frontier
and Macedonia.
Ihe arrival of the grand duke on the
Rumanian border it is believed will be

WHITE PINE is IN PERIL
Blister Rust in the East Has Caused
Heavy Ravages in
Timber.

The present is a gloomy hour fer the
forestry enthusiasts, especially in the
eastern states, where sc much reli-
ance is being placed upon the white
pine as the tree par excellence for
quickly rehabilitating our shabby
woodlands. Last years discoveries In
Massachusetts Of the dread blister
rust of Europe led other states to in-
vestigate within their borders. The
active and well organized co-opera-
tive effort that is now being made by
the federal department of agriculture
and the officers Of the several states
where timber interests are involved
indicates the seriousness with which
they regard the situation. Since their
work for he control of the disease
began in the early summer it has be.
come apparent that while Massachu-
sets is beyond question dangerously
infected in certain sections, other
states, whose officers regarded thei1
territory rs relatively free, are, ia fact,
no better off than we. All New Eng.
land is on the fever map, and even
Wisconsin and Minnesota investiga.
tors have lately turned up infection.
Hope for the successful control Of
the fungus is not f%orlorn, consider.
ing the plant pathologists who are CON
Quoting the campaign. The greatest
need OF the present hour, however, is
