city and state has agreed to again become the standard bearer of his party for the state senate. That this recognition of his pre-eminent quail fications for this position meets with wide approval outside of his own party circles is evidenced by the many Assurances of support which he llas received from independent and Republican sources. His record as a !tate senator proves that the city Is indeed fortunate in his willingness to again make the necessary sacrifices which he is compelled to make in or der to attend to the duties of the po- sition at Hartford.
 As a public officer he has a record euualled by few and surpassed by none. In the last session of the Con necticut legislature he was constant ly on guard on all matters pertaining to the interest of the city and throughout the entire session never missed single session of the Senate He was one of the influential and ac- tive members of the important com .pnittee on cities and boroughs and had a large share in framing many of the important bills that came before that committee. He was also a mem ber of the state prisons committee and chair man of the committee on federal rela- tiOnS.

GREAT AUDIENCES FOR
 SECRETARY WILSON

cabinet of the United States. His views upon labor legislation adopted since the Democratic party came into power, were stated in some detail and to the great enlightenment of his audience, which was composed large ly of workers.
 Secretary Wilson said that during sixteen years of Republican control the House and ~ Senate committees on labor were but names
 ''The committee on labor became real when Democrats succeed to con trol.
 we obtaiaed the enactment of eigha hour workday for laborers and mechanics engaged in government work and for railroad employees Among other measures for the ad- vantage of labor mentioned by Secre- tary Wilson was the law creating the department of labor, which he said was the greatest single agency fof promoting industrial peace and meas ures advancing the welfare of ch1l- dren and mothers.
 Said Secretary Wilson:
 That is what they call waste" Secretary Wilson exclaimed:
 Secretary Wilson said that the League of Nations was the big issue in the campagn and that the Demo- crats were clear and definite on it, while the Republicans in general were indefinite and Senator Harding in particular wobbly on the peace covenant.
 "If the Republicans were sincere on the League of Nations they would take a definite stand on it. They would be for it or against it. As it is no one can read Republican pamphlets and know definitely what position the Republican. party takes on the question. No one can read Senator Harding's speeches from day to day and tell just where the Sena- tor stands or the League.
 ''Sena tor Harding has succeeded in pleasing some senators who want the League with reservations, and others who want an association of nations, and still others who do not want any League at all."
 At Seaside Institute Secretary Will son was greeted by more than 500 people. His remarks were at points dissimilar from his remarks at the first meeting, but the two addresses were largely the same.

CLARK SURE TO
 MAKE A GREAT RUN FOR SENATOR

In unanim ous1y renominating Sen a'or George B. Clark, the Democratic party has recognized the exceptional qualifications which this widely known business man possesses. Two years ago Senator Clark was chosen to represent the electors of the 23rd senatorial district, comprising the 9th, 10th and 18th voting districts. His record for progressive legislation is so well-known that it does not require extended mention here.
 It is a source of gratification to our citizens generally irrespective of party affiliations that a gentleman of MT. Clark's experience and thorough familiarity with the affairs of our

NYACK AROUSED
 OVER MOVIES

Nyack, N. Y, Oct. 29-six Nyack girls, four of them school girls who displayed their movie ambitions in tights on the stage of local theatre, have this town all excited. The church element, led by Rev. pr. J. R. Latham and others professes to be shocked. The bachelor faction, of the population, both young and old is excited also but differently. The trouble began when the manager of theatre offered chance to boys and girls with movie ambitions to get into real pictures. The boys were more or essI backward but six girls jumped at the chance and the film was duly produced. After a shimmie exhibition came a view of "bathing beauties with the girls in tights. The Rev. Dr. Sarte11 Prentice, pastor of the Dutch Reformed church, who was among the spectators, immedi- ately left the theatre. He took his son with him. After that things be- gan to happen.
 New York, Oct. 29-There was fias h of strength at the opening of the Stock Market today when many of the leading issues made gains rang ing from fractions to around i point but after the first sales the Rne again became heavier and another general downward movement occurred
 Steel common rose 3s to 87 F but quickly reacted to S7h, Baldwin To- comotive after advancing A to 112 dropped to III. Mexican Petroleum moved in the same way and advanc- ed l point to 1894 followed by a de- cline to 1S7M.
 Bethlehem Steel responded to the statements made last night in -connec- tion with the dividend with an ad- vance of 1 A to 68, followed by a re- ction of 6S F.
 Railroad stocks continued to reflect disappointment over the showing made in many of the September state ! ments, but there was also foreign sell ing of these issues.

William B. Wilson. secretary of labor, made two addresses to en- thusiastic audiences, last night. Wo- men were numerously represented at both meetings. The secretary, who is grayer and slightly more worn than he was on the occasion aof his last visit to Bridgeport, was warmly greeted, and his eulogy of Woodrow Wilson and his administration was received cn both occasions with marks of effusive appreciation.
 The first meeting was in St. Johns Hall, Pembroke and Jane streets, which is one of the largest assembly places in the city. The hall was well filled. The meeting was preceded by a parade of the Ninth and Tenth Dis tricts, organized by the redoutable banners. red lights and pep to burn
 George B. Clark was chairman of the meeting. He is the present Sen ator from the 23rd Senatorial Dis nearly everybody believes that he will be elected. Among those on the stage were Mrs. Clark, and the sen- ator's daughter, Helen Clark, who is famous authority upon school
 Many of the well known Democrats or Bridgeport were present, and the meeting was in every way a success. One of the high spots of the meeting was the speech of Lieut.. Joe Devine, nero of Chaleau Thiery, who advo- cated the League of Nations from the standpofnt of one who has known war In its intensest fury. If the marks of afection which weer bestowed upon Dev1ne are a token of the future, he IS going to get a big majority in the Ninth and Tenth Districts.
 Candidates Hungerford and Hearn were heard in brief remarks. They nave been nominated for aldermen. and promised to devote their energies to search for economy in municipal affairs, when they are elected. Ferdi- nand Fox paid tribute the work done by Senator Clark in the last as- sembly, and others pointed out that the seantor was one of those who vot- ed for the ratification of the woman suffrage amendment
 Himself a. union man, a leader in the great union movement, Secretary Wilson is the first representative of labor who has been placed in the

depression that runs through the diary
Of the dead woman and her frequent
illusions to suicide The Coroner's
physician, after a superficial examina-
tfon, said that Bleyer died several
hours, possibly half day, before the
woman. 1t is thought that she shot
him, wrote the last chapter in her
diary and then turned the pistol on
herself.
Held Love for Family
Bleyer's estate consists chiefly of
stocks and bonds, including some shares
in the Peoples Gas, light and Coke
Company, Liberty bonds and the own
ership of the Jackson Boulevard ad-
vertising agency. The life insurance
policies amount to about $4,000.
ut is plain that Bleyer never lost
his affection for his wife and two
children" commented Donald Wegg.
when he found the will Payment Of
these policies, arranged so that Mrs.
Bleyer and the girls will receive a
monthly income, testifies as to that"
The savings Of Mrs. Randall are
placed at $1,000 in document filed in
the Probate Court to-day. Letters of
administration in the estate of the
woman, consisting mostly Of bonds,
were issued to her mother, Mrs Jennie
M. Vale, upon her statement that her
daughter had left no will.
Colonel Charles E. Bleyer, father
OF the dead man, is hurrying to Chi
cago from Cuba to arrange for the
burial. Bleyer's body still remains in
an undertaker's morpue.
