view avenues. Attorney George F.
Mara will preside
The Ninth district Democrats will
have Sunday afternoon rally at the
American theatre on East Main street,
at which David e. Fitzgerald, who
turned New Haven from a Republican
city into a Democratic one, viii be
the principal speaker.
Last evening was the banner rally
night of the campaign for the Demo-
Gratis. A big parade and crowd
which filed the Schwaebischer hall
ON French street, enlivened the Eighth
district. The Third and Fourth dis
tricts packed a large hall in the Ca
sfno building on States treet.
About 200 people attended the
smoker Of the Seventh district in the
Lyric theatre building, on Main street.
Kirk made speeches at all three places
In addition to his talk before the men
Of the Presbyterian Mems club. His
reception at the Eighth district meet
ing was especially enthusiastic. He
departed from the facts and figures
he has used so extensively during the
campaign and gave the crowd lit
tie heart-to-heart talk that appealed
| to them more than would statistics.
! He was cheered several times during
the course Of his speech.
By using a postal card mailed by
| the Republicans to voters in the Fifth
district a few days ago he made a
| telling Init on the subject Of Who's
running against me for mayor?"
When he held up this card the
crowd could see in very large, heavy
black type: "Hon John T. King Will
Discuss the Issues of the Campaign
while in much smaller type below was
the line, ''Hon. Clifford B. Wilson VIII
| Speak"
do you get that?" asked Kirk. and
| the audience showed by its yel1s that
| 1t did. Discussing municipal ex-
penditure of vast sums of money for
improvements, Kirk said. These are
not times for all these improvements
| that we hear SO much about. When
everybody has a job and the govern
ment is crying to us all to economics
1t is no time for excessive public
| works.
| When the war is over, and the Sc
we're industrial readjustment sets in,
when men will be walking the streets
looking for jobs, then is the time for
the city to make all the improvements
it can and furnish as much work as
Is possible"
| Judge Robert q, DeF'orest in his
/ speech at the Eighth district club
| drew a laugh when he mentioned the
absence of the ice wagon in the Re-
| publican parade of Monday night,

resources OF the west. Senator Clark
gives way to Governor Kendrick, a
democrat.
Two of the retiring senators can
charge their defeat to the opposition
of the administration, Senator Mar
tin of New Jersey and Senator o'Gor-
man of New York. 1t was Woodrow
Wilson, as governor of New Jersey,
who forced the election of MARITIME to
the senate. and it was Woodrow Will
son, as president, six years later, who
so opposed MARITIME as to make GER
tain the election of a republican in
his stead.
Although MARITIME owed his cleo
tion to Wilson, he maintained that he
was not, for that reason, obligated to
be puppet. to be voted by the pres
ident, and 1t was the assertion of his
independence that finally cost him
his job. But he had good time be-.
ing defeated. for he had the great
pleasure Of beating out Woodrow
Wilson's candidate at the New Jer-
sey primaries, something like three
to one. The democratic split and the
weakness Of the president in his own
state affecting the entire democrat
ic ticket-brought about the election
of republican senator, Mr.. Freling-
huysen, the man who can boast of
having the longest name on the new
senate roll. Senator MARITIME, during
his six years of service earned the
title of clown Of the senate" and
he also made reputation by cham
pioning the cause OF the "wets" as
no other senator did. This was only
another illustration Of saantoT MAR
times fatal Independence.

driven 1at by the administration
During De past four years Senator
o'Gorrpah was given the cold shoul-
der at the white house, he was denied
control of patronage, which instead
was turned over TO the presidents

was made plain to Mr. O'Gorman that
IL he sought denomination he would
be opposed by the administration
His treatment by the president CON
vinced Senator O'Gorman that the
fight was not worth the making and
he side stepped to let former chair
man McCombs make a try for the
victory. The result was a republi-
