new BRITAIN PAST
MAXIMUM ON LOAN
Manufacturers and Workers Help
City Subscribe Over So, $4,000
AMERICAN HARDWARE LEADS
Landers, Frary & Clark Takes $780,
900 More, Union Mfg. co. $4,000
and Stanley Rule and Level $4,000
Banks Open Tonight.

Past the maximum was the joyful
report on the Liberty Loan made to-
day by President A. J. Sloper of the
New Britain National bank. This
news, not anticipated, but hoped for,
places New Britain in the first ranks
of democracy and on a footing with
other patriotic communities that are
offering their money to Uncle Sam.
The maximum allotment for this city
was s3.135,00O.
Success was made possible by
generous support from manufacturers
and others who take pride in seeing
New Britain on the honor roll. Lam
ders, F>rary & Clark Mfg. Co. SUBJ
scribed 100000 more, bringing it's
total investment to 100000. The
employees of the concern threw off
their coats and rolled up their sleeves
yesterday and decided that if they
carried any weight New Britain was
going past the maximum with a rush.
That their efforts were not fruitless is
shown by the new subscription.
The American Hardware corpora
ton invested $4,000 more, bringing
it's total to $65O,O00, the largest sub
scription in the city. The Union Mfg.
Co. also took bonds valued at $4,000
more, bringing the concerns total to
s65,000. The employees of the Stanley
Rule and Level Co. had a hand in the
victory subscribing 100000 more and
helping to push over the goal line.
Tt is believed that before the books
close tonight. New Britain will be far
past the maximum allotment, despite
the fact that it was not believed a
month ago that the city could possibly
go any distance in excess of the
minimum. Banks will be open until
o'clock tonight to accept subscrip-
tions.

A THIRD PARTY IS
FORMING PLATFORM

Chicago, October 4-The five minor
political groups which are here under
taking to work out third party which
will coordinate all the strength of
voters not affiliated with the two lead
ing parties, failed to complete their
laborS today. The platform which was
adopted committed the delegates to
a hostility to phases of censorship
during wartime and dcliberation after
the adoption led some of the dele
gates to expression feelings that
the new party had committed itself
to opposition to some of the govern
ments war platform.
The platform demands were sum
married as follows
Removal of the land monopoly: ex
tension OF the federal farm loan; ex
tension OF the Postal Savings Bank
system; federal incorporation of pri-
vate financial concerns.
Government life and accident insur-
ancc for the working class, more strin-
gent restrictions on child labor.
No secret diplomacy; all protocols,
agreements, arrangements and under
standings with other nations to be ac
cessible to the public; internationali-
cation OF all strategic waters; prohibi-
ton OF discriminatory tariffs: estab-
lishment of league of nations to keep
international peace, establishment of
an international tribunal for the adj
)ustment OF national differences
Public ownership OF all natural mo-
nopolies and public utilities.
Bone-dry prohibition of the LIQUOR

stand on the war was to be stated in
