that certain powerful interests and
politicians are getting ready to fight
this plan, and to put this nation on a
great permanent military basis in
stead. I should like to help settle
this question right, and, if elected
senator, would favor the plan now
advocated by Wilson and Taft.
THE alI-important questions of
public control of telegraphs and tel

be directly in issue. The people should
be certain that they are not putting
Wall street tools and stock manipula-

already fighting the nation on these
questions.

RUTHERFORD DECLINES
Official Business VIII Prevent Him
From Amting as f. f. Halls PoIiti-
cal Campaign Manager.

Arthur N. rutherford, who was
named yesterday as political agent
for Edward +. Hall, republican candi-
date for state representative, an
nounced this morning that he would
be unable to serve in that capacity.
Mr.. Hall has not yet announced the
name of the man who will manage
his political affairs between now and
November 4.
Mr.. Rutherford's decision to re-
frain from any activities in the poll
teal field comes as q result of his
two important public positions. He is
building inspector for the city of New
Britain and as a city official feels that
he should not take any part in poll
ties. In addition to that, he has recent
ly been appointed to a government
position as district director of non
essential building operations and this
is an added reason for his withdrawal
from politics.

BULLS EYE SMASHED
BY VICTORY'S SHELL
Unconditional Surrender Club Brings
Liberty Loan Subscriptions
Away Over City's Quota.

The shell from the cannon on Cen
tral Park shot right through the
S3,17s,0O0 Liberty Loan bulls eye
last evening. Chairman Noah Lucas
of the shell committee went to work
at once and reloaded the cannon and
started the shell out for a second shot
for the bulls eye.
Todays label on the shell is S.
725,75O, half a million in additional
subscriptions having been brought in
yesterday. The women's committee
reported splendid success today. They
have now passed their record for the
last loan and have gone $4,000 or
more beyond it. They are aiming to
reach the 100000 mark, and it looks
as If they had a good show of attain
ing it the way they are bringing in
members to the Unconditional Sur
render club.
Chairman A. J. Sloper of the gen
eral committee estimated today that
the pledges obtained through the
Unconditional Surrender club amount
ed to 100000. 1t looks as though
the Unconditional Surrender club
would reach a million, which is far
ahead of the fondcst expectations. 1t
is an excellent indication of how New
Britain feels towards the German
government and coming from q city
with such cosmopolitan population
as this makes it all the better, as il
indicates how the people of the world
feel towards German l1aiserism and
the rest of the international outlaws.
The team committees hold a meet
ing at 5 O'Clock this afternoon at the
Y. NJ. g. A, to make Garrison finish
for the campaign and the general
