Tremendous enthusiasm was shown yesterday by Slovak residents of Bridgeport, who gathered in St. Johns
 society hall and St. Johns Parish hall to hear the issues of the national campaign discussed Edward Vaczy of Brooklyn, a member of the Demo- cratic national committee, addressed
 the meeting and his remarks called forth great applause.

 Slovak antecedents ever honored with a place on the national committee, was
 cheered fully five minutes by the
 crowd.
 MT. Vaczy discussed the issues of
 the day. John Prokop, president of the Slovak Citizens club of Brooklyn,
 urged those who have not yet been
 made citizens to hasten and avail themselves of the opportunity to vote in the United States. Steven Organas, supreme secretary of the Free Eagle
 organization, talked on the merits of the eight hour law, and the effect a strike would have had on Bridgeport had not President Wilson acted promptly and effectively.
 The speakers will make tour of Ohio, West Virginia, New York, New
 Jersey and Delaware.

THOMAS MEICHAN AND
anita king AT THE
ISIS FOR Three DAYS

The Lasky film drama, 1.-THE Heir to
the Hoorah," starring Thomas Meighan
and Anita King, will be shown at the
Isis Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Hoorah, richest mine in Cali
fornia, has made millionaires of its
three bachelor owners, Joe, Bud and
Bill. 1t occurs to the two latter men
that this wealth, representing the
labor and sacrifice of many long years,
must, in the event of their death, re-
vert to strangers. They decide that
Joe, the most eligible partner, should
marry and give them an heir. This Joe
fatty refuses to do. However, Bud
and Bill set about to find a suitable
wife for him. Their efforts are unre-
warded, and Joe in disgust, leaves
town.
Geraldine Kent, daughter Of poor
but aspiring society woman, who Is
continually impressing upon her
daughter the Importance of her marry
ing money, accepts the invitation of a
friend to take a western trip. The
mother, on her own invitation. accom-
panies them. Arriving at the hotel.
they discover Joe in a very undignifed
position on the floor playing with
youngster of FIVE. The mother is
shocked, but when she learns that Joe
Z Is wealthy, she is gushingly attentive
Z to him, and persuades Geraldine to ac-
cept his proposal of marriage. His
lack of polish is such a source of con-
slant embarrassment to both Joe and
his wife, that his suggestion to Gerald
inc that they run away from it all is
gladly accepted. Discovered by her
mother just as they are about to leave,
Joe is thoroughly enlightened by Mrs.
Kent's expression of her sorrow at
forcing Geraldine to marry such boor
because they were so sadly in need of
money. Heartbroken, Joe gives them
the money and departs.
At the end of year. Geraldine sues
for divorce. but Bud and Bill leave
Hoorah City for a trip to see Joe's
baby. Not until Joe reads in the
paper an account of the divorce pro-
ceedings does he know that he has a
son. He also starts out to see the
baby, and three men meet. Both Bud
and Bill claim the right to be the
namesake of what they consider a
partnership baby" but learning the
little one is girl, they order at once,
baby wardrobes by the carload. Joe
realizes the mother-in-la laws RESPONSE
bility for his unhappiness and ships
her to the east by the first train. Ger
aldine has learned that Joe's greatest
desire was for a child, and when he
accuses her Of marrying him for his
money, she meets it with the statement
that he married her for the baby. He
suggests that she take the money and
he the baby, but as the little one starts
to cry, he is frightened and hands it
to the mother. AS they look at the
wonderful baby, and then at each other,
they realize how foolish they have
been, and with long sigh of satisfac-
ton, Joe takes both mother and child
into his arms.
