always had plentiful use
The flat rate pays the company all the return it is entitled

STAND BY UNCLE
SAM IS LEADING
ELECTION ISSUE

Chicago, April 2-Loyalty to the
government was the leading issue to-
day in the aldermanic election in the
35 wards of the city. Chief interest
centers in the outcome of the six
wards where Socialists who endorsed
the st. Louis platform Of that party
are the candidates. In these wards
the campaign was marked by frequent
fights at the political meetings. In
half a dozen other wards the contest
has been between the candidates fav-
ored by Mayor William Hale Thomp-
son and opponents of the city admin
istration.
In the Fourth congressional district,
which includes the stock yard district,
congressman was voted for to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
Charles Martin. The district normal
ly is Democratic by a large majority.
The wet and dry issue was voted on
today in many townships southside of
Chicago. Thirty-five wet townships
held elections to determine whether
they shall become dry territory, and
20 city townships balIoted to seq
whether the saloon shall return.
Among the cities directly affected by
the voting because of their inclusion
within certain township lines are
Rock Island, Bloomington and Aurora.

one more festive appearance than it
has had since last year when the
country first entered the war.
Everything possible is being done by
the various committees to make Satur-
days celebration the occasion for CIV
ing the Third Liberty Loan. flying
start and it is expected that the re-
suits will eclipse the splendid records
made by both the First and the Sec
ond loans.
When orders went out to the Of
ficers and men of the Fourth Regt-
ment to report Saturday for parade,
great enthusiasm was manifested by
all ranks, as this well be the first
opportunity the organization will have
to show the results of the hard work
they have been doing all the winter.
Arrangements are also being made
to have the veterans of "61" in line
and members of the G. A. R. will
form one of the most impressive fea-
lures of the parade. All the G. A. R.
men will ride in special trucks pro-
vided by the Locomobile company,
and it is a significant fact that the
trucks are those which will he shipped
to France in a short while for the
men at the front to both ride in and
use to transport their supplies.

MONSTER PARADE TO
CELEBRATE FLOATING
OF 3rd LIBERTY LOAN
Police, Firemen and Members of Fourth Regiment Con-
necticut Home Guards in Line With Sturdy Veterans
of Civil War-Latter to Ride in Auto Trucks-Ex-
tensive Advertising Campaign Decided Upon,

Next Saturday, Bridgeport will eel
citrate two big occasions in history,
the entry of the United States into
the world war and the floating of the
Third Liberty Loan. Flags will be
flung to the breeze, martial music will
be heard while the military and civic
authorities will do their utmost to
make the day memorable one.
According to plans laid at meeting
yesterday of the general committee
in charge Of the launching of the
Third Liberty Loan, the days cele-
brations will be started at an early
hour when the entire Fourth Regi-
ment, C. H. G.. will parade in COM
pany with a large force of police and
firemen.
Immediately following the military
exercises there will be a mass meet
ing at City Hall Green, where the
first subscriptions to Americas third
loan for freedom will be taken.
1t was originally planned to have a
large force of the National Army from
Camp Devens, but when the matter
was taken up with General Hodges it
was found that it would not be FEAST
BILE, and reluctantly this part Of the
program had to be abandoned, but the
martial spirit of Bridgeport will have
a chance for an imposing display
when the full strength of the Fourth
Regiment will turn out.
Another suggestion which has been
made at the meeting and one which
has met with full approval is that
everyone in Bridgeport should be
asked to hang out a flag next Satur-

MAN Who FIGURED
in BIG NUMBER OF
Law TANCLES DIES

New milford, April DIR. David W.
Knowles, aged 81, a retired dentist,
whose ideas of sanitation and hygiene
almost continually for a time brought
him into conflict with the humane So
ciety and the health officers, and who
probably had had more law suits than
any other person in this part Of the
state, died during last night of pneu-
monia. Many of his suits were over
property and 1t was claimed that ow-
ing to his controversies his fathers
estate had never been settled. Clashes
with the humane society were over
his housing cattle, and with the health
officers over care of his daughters
children, the latter finally being taken
to a home.
Some years ago a son, claiming to
repel an intruder, shot and killed a
man named Waters. For this he was
given a nominal sentence as the de-
tense was that of trespass. This son
has since died.
Dr. Knowles wife died some months
ago and he had lived alone. Passers-
by last night heard the doctor calling,
and entering, found him sick. He was
taken to a neighbor's house, where he
! died.

IN WISCONSIN

Milwaukee, April 2-Eari1y voting
in the special senatorial election in
Wisconsin, which ts to determine who

seph E. Davies, Democrat, and Victor
L. Berger, Socialist.
The campaign closed last night,
each claiming victory.
Democratic leaders claim the cities
will go heavily Democratic and over
