 Workingwomen were there to hear darry Silverstone. candidate for rep- Fesentative in the General Assembly tell that the only particular in which Bridgeport differed from every other large city in the state was that it had Republican administration, and that maybe that was the reason the Connecticut Company chose it as a perfectly safe place to launch the ex- periment of stopping the trolleys and forcing workingmen to walk to and from their employment, and that. if new city charter, which the Demo- cratic candidates for representatives and Senator are pledged to urge, is secured, 1t won't be necessary for women to scurry through dark take them home.
 It didn't need the cries from the small boys outside; "Oh there" Miss snow that many members of that much underpaid profession were leading the applause when Town Chairman John Cornell said:
 This talk about the League send Ing our men abroad to fight foreign wars is poppycock. You school teach CTS who have read the constitution know that no American soldier can be sent abroad in d foreign war un- less Congress and Congress alone not the President or the League of Nattons-declares war.

 Miss Mary Mallon, chairwoman of / the Sixth district, said that the Re- publican platform could be stated in three words: ''Wiggle and wabble," and added: -"I don't. know enough about the tariff or League of Nations to address you on those subjects, but do know more about the League of Nations brought back from Paris by President Wilson than I do about Senator Harding's shadowy associa- ition of nations with which he is hopefully going to approach the na- tions of the world, and I hope when he does change his mind again he won't wiggle and wabb1e like Sena- tor Brandegee has on woman suffrage since it became inevitable"
 Everyone followed with close at tention Mrs. William H. Hogan's de- tailed description of the operations of the voting machine and the mech tnism of voting. It was a most in
