BRIDGEPORT HAS BIGGEST LIST OF
 AUTOS IN STATE.
Park City Probably Will Be 6,OOO Within Next Few
 Months.

More automobiles are owned in Bridgeport than in any other city in the state. According to the returns received by the board of tax asses sors the number will probably reach $500 cars. This is believed to be 600 in excess of of the number owned in Hartford and more than 300 in ex- cess of the number owner by residents of New Haven. It is estimated that 800 motorcycles are owned by resi- dents of Bridgeport and about 200 au- tomobiles owned here which are used for commercial purposes.
 The assessors estimated today that the number of resident and non-resf- dent tax payers would increase from 15,518 last year to nearly 10000 this year. It is expected that the grand list will be boosted several million dol lars this year.
 Today the assessors received reports that the owners of the apartment house at the northeast corner of State street and Clinton avenue had again raised the rents from $34 to $40 per month. The assessed valuation of this property will be increased materially when the assessors meet to fix valu- ations this fall.

 Propaganda in West

New York, Oct. 31-To the dis avowals of Cardinals Gibbons and Farley heretofore published, the New York World today adds an authoriz- ed statement from Cardinal O'Connell, Archbishop of Boston, regarding the reported propaganda among Catholics of the Middle West against President Wilson. Cardinal O'ConnelPs state ment follows:
 "It has come to my attention that some of the daily papers allude to an organized propaganda among Catho- lies of the Middle West against one of the candidates for the Presidency. assuming that this propaganda is car ried on with the knowledge and tacit approval of the American Cardinals.
 For my part, I know absolutely nothing of such political movement

M 'CORMICK SEES LANDSLIDE FOR WILSON TUESDAY

Chicago, Oct. 31-The West is lon fire for President Wilson, and "it looks like landslide" for the Demo- cratic candidate. said Vance C. Me- Cormick, chairman of the National Democratic Committee, today, after conferring with Senator Thomas J. Walsh, manager of Western Demo- cratic headquarters. Latest reports from leaders in all states were dis cussed at the conference.
 "The West has no edge on the East in this matter of loyalty to the Presi- dent" MT. Mccormick said. 'The East is mighty warm in its support of Will son and Democrats generally. It has improved daily for the last two weeks. and states that were doubtful may be counted safely for the President now.
 New York state, for instance. is for the President, and for him big Lead CTS of local organizations in Greater New York confidently believe that the greater city will roll up one of the heaviest Democratic pluralities in years.
 ''I see that Frank H. Hitchcock claims the election of MT. Hughes and gives a list of states that he professes to believe the Republicans will carry. Of the 26 states he claims for Hughes, do not regard six of them as cer- tainly for the Republican candidate.
 'The Wilson sentiment in Ohio that makes MT. Hitchcock comedies the state to the Democrats does not stop at imag aginary state lines. It extends all over this section, and by this token, not to mention over-conf1dentia1 re- ports and f1rst-hand advices, we know that Illinois and Indiana also are for the President. This same sentiment is sweeping the Pacific Coast.
 q confidently expect the President to carry Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and West Vir- ginia. The Ewing is toward the Presi- dent, and there are no signs of abate- ment."
 Chairman Mccormick left for New York later in the day.

MANY WOMEN HEAR
 MISSION FATHER TALK

Crowds of women filled St. Angus tines church to it's capacity last night when Rev. w. R. Lawler of the Do- mfnican Fathers preached upon the text: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.'' The great lesson to be taken from the text was the fact that while one is preparing to sin, the voice of conscience always in- dictates the wrong before it was done and people who disobeyed the warning must suffer the penalty that was in- evitable.
 Another mission meeting for women tonight will be addressed by Rev. J. B.. Logan.

 CLUB VOTES TOTAL
 HALF A MILLION

New York, Oct. 31.-Enrolled in out the country are nearly 500,000 voters. These clubs number nearly 2,O0O. Many of them are composed of Independents-men and women who realize that this is an exceptional time, one that requires the exercise of patriotism rather than partisanship Most of the organizations are, of course, regular Democratic Wilson and Marshall clubs. In addition, thousands of voters have been enroll ed in leagues which have no distinct oYganizati ton and no regular meeting place. In greater New York nearly |25,OOO Wilson workers are thus en- rolled.
 By the different clubs many trades and professions are represented. Thus the Wilson and Marshall Engineers League of America has enrolled up- wards of 5000 members; the Wilson and Marshall Travelling Mems club 1000; the Electrical Engineers club, 16,0OO and the Young Mems Demo- cratic League nearly 25,000. Then there are the. Theatrical Leagues, which count their members in the thousands, and the Baseball Players League, unique organization recently formed in the interest of Woodrow Wilson. It is significant that these organizations are composed, in a ra- tfo varying from ten to fifty per cent, of former Republicans and Progress sives, a fact which indicates in an em- inently practical way the hold Presi- dent Wilson has upon the esteem of the people. .
 In addition to the club work, which is being superintended by Frederick B. Lynch as chairman of the Bureau of Political Organization and Clubs of the Democratic National Committee, dent allied organizations such as The Wilson and Marshall Business Mems. League and the National Wilson and Marshall College Mems League. MT Lynch, in discussing the work of the bureau. said today:
 T never realized until thus late in the campaign the extent of the popu- larity of the Democratic National tick et Literally. thousands of business men and professional men have work ed without pay throughout this cam men at the head of our ticket and the principles which they represent. Will son and Marshall will be reelected, and their triumph will be due in no small part to the loyalty and industry of the 500,0o0 club members who are supporting them.'

HIS FRIEND HuRT; HE HELPED HIM Injured Man Laughed When Simple Treatment Was Suggested, But He
 Thanked His Com

Once upon a time word came to Henry A. Voehl, -Plainfield, N. J.. that a close friend had been injured, and full of anxiety he visited the afflicted man, who was suffering from a sprained ankle.
 "It was so bad that the leg had turned black" said MT. Voehl in re- lating the story. ''I told him I would have him out in a week and he laugh ed at me. But f took him a bottle of Sloan's Linoment, that night he put some on and noticed the ankle felt bet ter. I told him to use 1t every day. cally well. In four days he was work and in three days his ankle was practi- ing. He gladly admits that Sloan's Liniment put him on his feet.'
 Sloan's Liniment can be obtained at all drug stores, 25c, Soc, and $1.00.

As a business man, I readily recog- nize the benefits of the Wilson ad- ministration, and believe the achieve ments of MT. Wilson in the past en- title him to reelection.

such n marvellous Transformation

the story.
When Major General Frederick
Funston Issued the order for a puni-

shiny to enter Mexico in pursuit OF
Villa there was lamentable lack OF
motor truck equipment. 1t was then
that the manufacture OF these We
hicles showed themselves equal to
the occasion. They turned out and
shipped to FL PasO and Columbus, N.
NJ, enough trucks to meet the i'm
mediate and urgent demand. Since
then this new branch OF the army
transportation service has expanded
rapidly. Recently two special trains
carrying eighty motor trucks direct
