Harry Si1verstone, one of the two Democratic candidates for repreSen- tive in the general assembly, whose earnest and thoughtful speeches dur ing the campaign have made a deep impression on the voters who have heard him, is of a type heretofore ali too few in aspirants for public office. Quiet, studious and conscientious, he has. risen to a place in his chosen proffssiop+ law-reached by hut few men Of his years. He brings into this his first essay into politics the freSh enthusiasm for moral issues that has 2 been such a distinctive mark Of Democratic candidates since then League of Nations became an outstanding issue. = - M
 MT. Sf1verstone has been a resi- dent of Bridgeport since infancy, was educated in our public schools and after graduating from the high school entered the academic department of Yale University. At the outbreak of the war he enrolled with the Yale battery, and on his discharge entered Yale Law school. He holds both an academic and law degree from Yale.
 While at college he attained the distinction of winning two scholar ships, the Berkeley premium and the Hurlburt scholarship.

GREAT CHANGE IN NAVY.

The young man who has not felt known the sswanderIust'' that rent less hunger for the sight of strange foreign lands and stranger people he does not exist. But how many mon neglect their opportunities and grow old without ever having wondered very far from their own home towns. What has such men gotten out of life? What have they to look back on but monotonous round of unin- teresting toil? How they must envy their more fortunate or perhaps more daring fellows who have travelled, and seen and done who have lived life to the full. How the stay at home" must regret his lack of enter prise, as he sits, one of an interest ing group, while some Marine spins yarn after yarn (and true yarns they are, tool of his adventures on tossing seas and under tropic skies.

 Journal and specialized in reviews of cases arising under the workingmen's s compensation acts of various states. In the case of Verschleiser vs. Joseph Stern & Sons, 12s Northeastern 126, MT. Silverstones article (29 Yale Law Journal 672), condemning previous narrow interpretations of the New
 York compensation act was cited with approval in the majority opin- ion, and the dissenting judge referred to the decision as a reversal of the previous New York practice. There will be many measures coming be- fore the general assembly next year affecting workinSmen and Mir. Silver stone not. only Knows and sympa- thiZes with their aspirations but he has the practical knowledge to quail fly as an expert in insuring that laws that will adequately protect the in- terests of the workers are placed on the statute books
 MT. Silverstone was admitted to the bar before he received his law de- gree. from Yale and is now engaged in the practice of his profession in this city.
 He is a member Of the American Legion and is an ardent supporter of an adequate bonus for the veterans of the world war.
 He is in favor of giving represen- tation to school teachers on the board of education and when the new city charter advocated in the Democratic city platform comes up for action at Hartford, he will work unceasingly for it's adoption so that this and other necessary reforms may be accom- plished. He is particularly interested in securing relief for rent payers and taxpayers of Bridgeport from exorbi- tant taxation and inflated assessments and will stand with his Democratic in favor of a bipartisan board of assessors instead of the present single tax commissioner for

 With. the great increase in voters this year caused by the adoption of the 18th Amendment it will be inn possible to get the women out unless they come in the morning.
 Secretary James Whalen of the Democratic Town Committee says that all women should mae an en- deavor to vote between and II o'clock in the morning as the ex- perience of election officials at pre- vious elections shows that fewer vote between these hours and if the wo- men come then it will not take them so long to register their choice as it will if they get in the early or late crowds.
