CulIinan Denounces Dennagoguery and Appeal
 To Class Hatreds

is a dangerous eXpedient and ought not to be resorted to in this indus trial center, even by politicians deS- perate to retain themselves in power. The men who are raising thls issue know that it is false and that 1t was
 conceived in bad faith and for the
 purposes of deception. No man with any sincere interest in the welfare or this community would urge it. The
 manufacturers have never sh1rked
 their reasonabl obligations in the matter of taxation. Like every olhef
 class of taxpayers, however, they are
 opposed to the evil which has been
 steadily growing for the past 10 years
 They are, opposed to permitting group of men, for their own selIlsh purposes, to exact through the medl-
 um of taxation sums away beyond
 what is required for the orderly and
 proper government of our city: The manufacturers are e,Sk1ng no
 special favors. They do ask, however,
 that they be treated in taxation mat
 ters with reason and sanity The
 policy of the men in years past, who
 have aided in the development or
 Bridgeport, has been to foster manu-
 facturing The result of this policy
 has been our rapidly growing indus
 trial city They have not made II
 the practice of trying to wiring from
 the manufa cturer the last farth1ng that could be obtained by means Of
 taxation They realized that other
 communities were seeking these var
 
 ducements to have the promoters and
 owners of these different factories To-
 cate in other places. This competi-
 tion of other localities is still active
 and Bridgeport will have to meet it. if she is to continue to expand and grow This talk about casting the burden from the manufactures on to
 the small property owner is the yer fest nonsense This declared policy
 or, the part of the Wilson administra- ton to make war upon the manufac- turers on behalf of the small taxpayer
 belittIes the intelligence of the voters of the city. If Bridgeport were not a city of manufacturing, there would be but few small taxpayers in the community to pay taxes. Manufac- turing constitutes the real vitality of the city. This thread of the Wilson administration, if returned to power, to strike a blow at the very life of the city ought to be vigorously resented vertisement for the city If this riot of waste and eXtravagance- with it's high taxes and excessive values, is to | continue, what new industries will l seek this city as a, place in which to ! locate? Any citizen who looks for ward to the continued progress and | prosperity of Bridgeport cannot lead | a willing ear to this sort of argument. l The only way to insure the continued | growth of Bridgeport is to repudiate | the present administration with its | burdensome taxes and place the gov ernment of the city in the hands of | men who will be actuated only by | consideration of the public welfare | and not by the desire to strengthen a political machine and perpetuate themselves in office.

Former City Attorney Thomas M
 Cullinan forcefully replied to many
 of the charges of the Republican
 machine when he addressed the Fifth
 district rally, in Junior High school,
 last night. His speech in part was
 as follows:
 Tt is manifest from what has all ready been said and written by the
 supporters of the Wilson admlnlstra- tion, that studied and unprinc1pled effort is going to be made to obscure the real issues of the campaign by
 injecting an appeal to class preJu-
 dice. The claim is made that the
 manufacturers are opposed to Mayor Wilson and are attempting to obtain
 the election of his opponent on the Democratic ticket, in order to shift to the small tax payer a portion Of the taxes which the manufa cturers Iutely unjustiffed and this attempt at this time of industrial depression, to array class against class, for political purposes, is base demagOgiSm. A brief consideration of the charge re- veals it's absurdity. It is charged that the manufacturers secured the nomiGaSion of MT. Atwater for may CT. If it were true that the manu- lecturers are seeking favoritism in the matter of taxation, wouldn't they as practical intelligent business men, bring to bear on the Democratic con- vention all the influence at their com mand in order to control the nomlna- tions for that branch of the city gov ernment which has to do with the l>placing of values upon their property l for the purposes of taxation, namely, the assessors. To charge them with seeking the nomination and election of a particular candidate for mayor, 1 with the expectation that he can re- duce the assessed value of their prop erty, would be to accuse them of a woeful ignorance of the machinery Of ! our city government. The Democratic nominee, when elected mayor, will have no more to do with the value to be placed upon property for the purposes of taxation than any one of you in this audience. Bear in mind that the city charter was amended by ] the last General Assembly. A tax commissioner to assess taxable values l is no longer to be appointed by the i mayor That work is now assigned i to three assessors 70 be elected this | mayor. The Democratic party has nominated for these offices Lawrence J. Gill. Frank J. Hearn and Aaron | Wittstein. The most ra,bid partisan | of the Wilson administration will not
 attemp,. to show any connecting tie be- | tween these men and the manufac- i turers These nominees have been : chosen from the great body of four ! voters. They will have no other aim 1 than 70 place upon the property of ! each taxpayer an honest and impar- l! loLS to claim that the manufacturers e-e seeking the election of MT. At
 | w1,,r D change the assessments of l ta-Jlr-e property.
 | I lis attempt, however, to engender | prejudice against the manufa cturerS

OLD SOUTH
 SEA VESSEL RETRIEVED

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 26.-The old South Sea trading schooner Equator. famous as the vessel on which Robert Louis Stevenson is said to have re- ceived the inspirati ton for his story of ..'The Wreckers," has been granted a reprive from Davy Jones boneyard of Our-worn ships
 The Equator, for many years a Pu- get Sound steam tug. was about to be discarded when it was decided to open up her hull. The frames were found to be of Port Orford cedar and as good. according to marine men here, as when she slid down the ways at
 Beneicia, California, in 1888. As a result the vessel was recently rebuilt, her steam engine replaced with a, Die sel-power engine and she will shortly resume, her career as Q tug. The story goes that Stevenson, mak- ing a voyage in the Equator-then q
 schooner-among the islands of TO- nance" was sitting in the cabin one night with a gathering of traders ] pearl fishers and others and heard ar old South Sea yarn that gave him the idea for 'The Wreckers.'' Later he recorded that fact in his diary Years later the Equator was equip ped with steam engines and in course of time made her appearance on Pu. get Sound.
 Her owners say she is good fol many more years of service

ENGLISH FIRST USED CHEWING
 GUM, 1885
It Was Called "Mouth GleW' andNMade of Isin- glass Steeped in Water Until Tender.

Chewing gum isn't new, and it isn't American in origin, despite the fact that our English cousins keep telling us that gum chewing is an American habit. In fact. they originated it themselves. John Bate. an English writer. gave a recipe for chewing gum in 1885. He called it mouth glew.'' Here's the recipe:
 Take isinglass and steep it in water until such time as you may easily pull it to pieces, put it into a glass or pot well leaded and set it in baleno; that is in a pot, of water on the fire. There let it remain until all, or most part of it. is dissolved; then strain it throw a. wide haire seive; while it is hot, upon another coarse and close haire seive, and when it is cold it will be like a thick jelly.
 ''If you would have it of dainty smell and aromatical, put into it a little cinnamon bruised. and little marjerom and rosemary flowers while it is ddssolving, and if you please a small quantity of brown su- gar candy to give it a swedish snatch This recipe is taken from a book called Mysteries of Nature and Art"

M'CREARY WILLING
 TO FIGHT JOHNSON

Jim Mcdonald of 50 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, manager of Battling McCreary. sends the following letter to the sporting editor of The Times:
 Would like to match my light heavyweight, Battling McCreary, with Jack Johnson. Will guarantee that McCreary will give Johnson the lick ing of his life. Have had within the past year numerous offers by pro- motors to stage a fight between Mo Creary and Kid Norfolk, but Lee Flynn, Norfolk's manager. repeatedly dodges the issue. McCreary has twice very decisively beaten John Lester Johnson. who K. O.'s Rough House Ware in New York last Satur-5 day night and is now being acclaimed there as the colored heavy champion. McCreary can beat him every night in the week He is the only man whe has given Harry Wills a real geo. fight in the last three years"

ORCHESTRA IS TO PLAY 9TH
 SYMPHONY

Josef Stransky and his players gave us a notable program and in terpreted it wonderfully" says the San Francisco Examiner in reviewing the concert of the New York Phil harm onic orchestra there.
 The symphony was Beethoven's S immortal Fifth. Stra nSky has the virtue of self-control. He gets the finest effects through a well-ordered reticence. Only in the great crisis of the-first and concluding move ments did he unleash his orchestral thunders, and even then you never felt that he was at the end of his resources. The Consequence of this admirable aesthetic economy is a bringing out. in almost infinite var fety of Iovehness, of the character of the different instruments.
 The orchestra will play this same symphony at its concert here at Polls theatre, next Sunday afternoon. This will be the firSt of the Steinert Series of concerts which will bring to the citv this winter. Margaret Matzenauer, Yo1anda Nero Mabel Garrison, Reinald Werrenrath, Jascha Heifetz and Sergei Rachmanino off. l Tickets are now on sale at M. Stein ert & Sons, 915 Main street

BOY FAXED SHAKESPEARE.

A 17-year-o1d- bow successfully faked a Shakespeare play. He was William H. Ireland. who lived in London about a century ago.
 Young Ireland tore the fly leaves from old books, concocted an ink that looked faded and forged Shakes peare's signature to a play that he wrote to fool his father.
 The play was actually presented by the great actor Kemble, and would have continued on its own merits had not the tragedian "horsed'' the lines which he believed bogus. Boswell, Johnson's biographer, was one of the literary men that fell for'' the fraud

But if a wo- man hath long hair it is glory unto her; for her hair is given as a coy- ering.
 The Chancellor added that Paul the Apostle, who wrote the foregoing, was an old bachelor.

TEACHER WILL CAST HER VOTE
 FOR ATWkTER

Fred Atwater has been receiving some remarkable letters in answer to She communication whtch he sent to all of the school teachers to assure them that the charges made against him that in the event of his election he would reduce salaries of teachers was nothing but political propaganda.
 One reply of particular interest came from a teacher who comes from an old Republican family and who has always supported that party. It was signed by Miss Hattie c. Ba1lou, who has taught school for many years and who has also been a Sunday school teacher in the O1ivet church. She told MT. Atwater that he could use her letter in any way he saw fit.
 Miss Ballou stated that not only her own vote but that of three other members of her home would be cast for the Democratic candidate. She said that no propaganda which the Republicans could spread would in fluence her to do differently as she had seen the effects of a corrupt ad- ninistration too plainly.
