MINORITY May
FORCE CHANGE
OF GOVERNMENT
Especial to The Farmef.)

Hartford, March 13-Fearfu1 If they
go before the voters of Bridgeport this
fall their candidates will be defeated,
the Republican organization is bring
ing it's troubles to the General AS
sembly for settlement. The propos-
ed form Of city manager government
charter which will be offered to the
voters is seized upon by the Bridge
port Republicans as their last hope to
retain control of the city govern
ment.
Within 80 days and not less than
80 days thereafter, the mayor shall
call special election for vote on the
charter. A majority of the electors
voting, shall decide whether or not
the charter is to be adopted. This
arrangement is somewhat different
from the former vote on commission
government charter, when majority
of the registered vote were required
to express their preference.
|. Word has been passed to the
Bridgeport Republican district clubs
to stir up their membership in favor
of the new charter. Under it's pro-
visions the common council will be
abolished and five commissioners who
will meet weekly will transact the
business Of the city, a city manager
who they select carrying out the
executive work.
Senator Mead of Greenwich. chair
man of the committee on cities and
boroughs, has prepared a. bill calling
for the appointment Of John S. Pull
man, Hamilton S. Shelton, Guy P.
Miller, Lucien T. Warner, G. d. S.
Miller and Alfred G.. Zones as a COM
mittee to draft the charter. This
committee, the personnel Of which
was named by Mayor Wilson last
January, has been at work ever since
on the charter draft and will have it
ready for presentation to the legisla-
ture soon.
Senator Mead's bill which is set
down for hearing before the cities
and boroughs committee on Friday
this week, provides that the committee
must prepare it's charter and present
it to the mayor Of Bridgeport within
60 days after the act passes.

SAYS THAT TO
SUFFER IS
A CRIME
But all in this world cannot
be so fortunate, but a
great deal of it can be
avoided,

With proper exeprice, proper food,
proper attention to the laws of nature,
deep breathing, and less worrying
about imaginary ills, a. great deal Of
suffering and illness could be avoided.
In one sense of the word suffering is
crime, because it is caused by abuse
Of our bodies, we would be arrested if
we abused other people as we abuse
ourself. But as long as we do not heed
natures laws we will have to heed ma
tur's remedies until we do get we'll
and when we do then try and keep
we'll, Herbal Lax-a-Tone is a nature
remedy because it is prepared from
roots and herbs only And remember
that it is a Tonic Laxative, which is
it's strong point.
