may all be in proper shape for Regis
tration Day. 1t is too early yet to
receive even an estimate of the total
amount pledged from this district, but
one is expected as soon as from any
of the others.
Stationery, Posters and Supplies
The amount of literature necessary
to conduct the canvass of the city is
surprising. 1000 posters have been
placed, 1000 automobile streamers for
wind shields, 10000 letters have
been sent out containing copies of the
Governors and Presidents proclama-
lions, 10000 pledges have been given
to the canvassers, 1000 blue window
cards announcing that the household
is purchaser of War Savings Stamps.
so, 900 registration cards have been
employed and several thousand people
are engaged in the campaign. The
amount of detail in labor and material
for work of this kind is immense: for
example, every poster requires four
gummed stickers to put it up, and
for 1000 posters nearly 10000 stick
ers were used. Certainly, this cam
paign has been one of education, and
there is a far wider general interest
in the War Savings Stamps than ever
before
What About Factory Pledges?
The question is frequently asked OF
canvassers. Where do I stand in re-
gard to this pledge if I have already
made a pledge in my factory" All
canvassers have mot been able to an
swer this question clearly, SO we well
come this opportunity Of making full
explanation. We haven sought to
make it very plain that the primary
object of this campaign is to make
up great census or ROLL of Honor
of Bridgeport's War Savers = those
who are willing to pledge themselves
that they will practice self-denial and
economy in order to release labor and
materials from the non-essentiaI in
dustries 10 the essential industries sc
that the war may be won.
1t is expressly stated in the pres
ent pledge that it is inclusive of any
outside pledges already made and not
paid. This means that anyone who
has pledged to buy $3.50 worth OF
stamps during the balance-of the year

Volunteers for Registration.
While this paragraph will not ap-
pear until Friday afternoons papers,
nevertheless, as the Committee is en-
tirely at sea concerning the number
of people who will come to the school
houses to register, it is earnestly re-
quested that any capable persons who
are willing to volunteer shall go to
the nearest sehoolhouse to see wheth
er their services will be required. It
is quite possible that if many come to
the schoolhouses to register, the SER
vices of a large number Of registrars
may be required. The registration
will continue until nine o'clock in any
event, and later, if the number of reg
istrants require it.
Fifth District Progress.
Nothing better illustrates the
changing character of our popula ton
than some of the returns made On
| duplicate copies of the voting list
which were given out to his canvas
sers by General Henry S. Osborne in
| the Fifth District In this district
the supposition is that the population
would change less perhaps than in
any other district of the city. On
Carlton Street alone, which contains
only moderate, number of houses,
running south from North Avenue,
there were nearly SO per cent. of era
sures of names from the voting list
of last fall, writing in of many new
names and other changes, so that the
copy of the list covering that street
which was handed in was entirely
marked up and changed. A great
deal has been said about Bridgeport's
changing population, but nothing IL
illustrates it better than this incident.
Fourth District Affairs.
General Isaac Moss and his help
ers have made a most thorough can
lvass of this district. All returns have
now been received, but many of the
pledges need corrections where onis-
lsions have been made or where they
have not been properly filled out.

SAY REPUBLICANS
Offer NO ISSUES
in FALL CAMP AIGN

Commenting upon the efforts of Re-
publican managers to convince the
people that the control of Congress
should be wrested from the Presi-
dents party this fall, the New Bed
ford (Mass), Mercury, one of the
strongly independent newspapers OF
New England, says editorially:
although the congressional cam
paign is coming nearer and nearer and
the issues between the parties should
be shaping themselves, especially in
congress itself, there are no signs that
the Republicans have met with a sin
gle plank that they can offer to the
country as a reason why the party
should be selected rather than the
Democratic party to direct the destin-
les of the legislative branch of the
government in the next two years.
The Republican managers are loud in
protesting their belief that the Re-
publicans will control congress next
year but they have not told why. The
wish is probably father to the thought
with no reason known therefor. 1t
is rather singular that the Republi-
cans should have no issues. Indeed,
it is comment among themselves that
they do not know whether they are
drifting backwards, forwards or side
ways. 1t would seem that in this
strife of war they would have found
something that would present itself as
a compelling issue hurtful to the
Democrats, but either the Democrats
have manoeuvered the situation so
skillfully as to leave nothing for the
Republicans to stand upon or the Re-
publicans have lacked mental acumen
to evolve issues Of their own. So
for the nearest they have is that
the war must be won in double quick
time. AS things are going there can
be no issue there. The war is going
fast enough for the breath of Amer
leans. 1t might be faster with al
the conditions fit but Americans rec
ognize their own limitations, however
big their views, and they are not 60
ing to be induced to change horses II
mid-stream by so elusive a cry al
some Republicans~have devised.
The country is satisfied with the
conduct of the strife as directed by
the administration and certainly the
Democrats in congress cannot be &C
cused Of not giving the President al
he has asked for and more. Thu
Republicans could not have done
more. Probably the issue that thu
Republicans have in mind is ont
which might be expressed as mean
ing trouble for the administrator
through endless investigating COM
mittees. A notable sign also is a lacl
of able leadership among Republican
in congress. In fact the party 4
utterly devoid Of leadership. It 1

the Republicans themselves. There
is another way Of expressing the stu
alton, and that is that the Republican
party is an absolute failure as mi
nority or opposition party. 1t has
been in a fine position to be of spe-
cial service as such for the domin-
ant Democratic party has in reality
had no majority control in the House
of Representatives, but the Republi-
can leadership has been unable to
meet the manoeuvers of the Demo-
Gratis to obtain and keep control and
direct the legislation of the body.
