MAKING NOMINATING SPEECHES

IT excellent if the Democratic National ! convention decides to hear nominating speeches while the convention is in progress Time of the candidates will be equaized-
 It is doubtful if the speeches have much influence on nominations the convention of of the major political parties Occasionally speech has nominated candidate or contributed materially his nomination. when Mr. Bryan of the Democratic party but Mr. Bryan not making a speech nominating himself. :
 The speech of nomination is fearful and wonderful the the to be put to the vote very last instan and this to take advan- tage of formal demonstration which is to follow
 in the world like the super men who speeches. and might be just we'll the speeches omitted altogether
 But since speeches the custom let them be made in occupy me to occasion the least venience, to make the contest fair.
 If particularly eloquent nominating speech has ef result will be immediate effect which will be away the voting is delayed until sderably later period
 fortunate for the people who live under popular that nominations not usually made by the ervor speech It is better that known should carefully their strength that their standing the should upon we'll understood determined

 When told by \ !. Times representa- tive this morri1. g hat Mayor Newton c. Brainard of F htford had made a statement that A jitneys would be driven off the st ts in Bridgeport. John B. Schwartz. president or one of the local jitneymen's unions of this city, said that the union was prepared to fight the issue and that the jitney bus was here to stay.
 'eWe have paid a license to operate on the streets of Bridgeport and they can not drive us off," said Schwartz
 eff the Connecticut Company abandon their lines we are prepared to handle the situation and can fur nish transportation enough to handle the public. Furthermore we are in a position to operate on all lines and can put into use 150 extra machines within 25 minutes to handle the tra1- fee if the trolleys make good their threat in taking their cars off The blizzard of last winter showed the people in this city how they could de- pend on the jitneys and we believe they will stand behind us now especl- ally as we are giving them better and cheaper service than the Connecticut Company.

BRAMAN NOW
 MULES OWNER

The PerigrinatonS of a mule which was one of the valued possessions of Pasquale F'asolino can be traced in a memorandum of decision handed l down by Judge John J. Walsh of the Common Pleas court in the case of Pasquale Fasolino against Edward lBraman.
 The plaintiff sold the animal after the mule had been turned over to him I by the sheriff, who had taken him on the replevin writ which was the oc- casion of the decision
 | On July 16, 1919, F'asolino traded the
 mule to Braman for a horse, wagon | and harness. Judge Walsh finds that the trade was made without any res | ervations.
 | The following day Pasquale discov- 1 cred some defects in the horse and | brought his bargain back to Braman | and demanded the return of the
 mule, although Braman was not present at the time. Later in the day the parties met and Braman re- l fused to return the mule. Pasquale
 left the horse, harness and wagon | with Braman.
 The next morning at 5 o'clock | Pasqua1e appeared at Braman's barr and broke open the door with a pick | axe and took the mule away. l Braman replevined the mule He lost the replevin suit in the Bridge port City Court on technicality bu
 did not even then return the mule te | Pasquale. Pasquale countered b5
 bringing a replevin action to the Common Pleas Court and taking the mule. He kept him for a montf and a half and fatted him up ant | sold him.
 Judge Walsh decides, nevertheless
 that Braman is entitled to the an1 1 nal and has ordered that Pasquale
 return him and pay Braman Sl ane | the costs of the action.
