quizzically. "Avice, you are

" Is that so unusual as to re-

flashed at him was charming.
1t isn't unusual, but it does
require comment. Oh, Avice, /

Would we take Eleanor Black

looked straight at him, challeng-

rival.

 Fight to End Waste
 and Stop Prohigacy
(Continued from Page One)

(Continued from Page One) prosperity at the expense of all the rest of the people.
 "The fire and police departments are public services. The law has ere ated them equally of the political parties, especially to take them out of politics. That policemen and fire men should contribute to the expense of party campaigns is not only wrong in principle but it is unlawful in fact. We want to stop that sort of thing. We believe that the men in these ser vices will willingly sec the end of a spstem which compels them to make unlawful contributions for political purposes.
 The schools are the heart of the American system. They are the source of those currents of influence which enable a people to be seIf-governing. To debauch the schools to make the school teachers creatures of political proflteering. is to commit an offense which, in my opinion, far exceeds in evil the mere waste of money and the mere exploitation, graft and self seking by which that waste has been accomplished.'
 And what of the prospects for success %
 Excellent! We have tickets in every district. Thousands of Repub- Hcans are wearing the button of the League. I feel certain that we shall make change for the better. We have begun work which, sooner or laterr must be accompEshed.''

No General Strike Is
 Planned

Chicago, Oct. 3-Chiefs of three of the Big Four railway workers brotherhoods arrived in Chicago to- day and beganN the count of ballots cast by the brothernoods members on the question of a strike in protest against wage reductions ordered by the U. s. Railway Labor Board. The count of the ballots will not be com pleted and the announcement of the result is not expected before Oct 10.
 The brotherhoods that began count ing their strike ballots today are the locomotive engineers, the firemen and the engineers and conductors. The trainmen finished tabulating last week a vote that showed ST per cent. of the membership to be in favor of strike. Calling of the strike approved by the the trainmen and the shop crafts is held in abeyance pending the outcome of the strike vote of the other brotherhoods.
 Although officials were reticient in discussing their plans in advance of the tabulation of the ballots, it was strongly intimated no general strike, paralyzing the entire transportation system of the nation, is contemplated. From sources seemingly authentic, it was learned employees will concen- trate the force of their strike upon railways that have shown an attitude hostile to organized labor.

200 Women Are On Tickets For

(Continued from Page One) selectmen, there are nominations of women for town clerks treasurers. assessors. registrars. auditors grand Juriors and members of the boards of relief. In isolated cases women have also been nominated for the town constabulary.
 The contests in the towns are chiefly or local interest One of the biggest contests in years is being waged in the town of West Haven where Re- publicans, Democrats and independ- ents have each named candidates for town officers.
 In Aorwalk Mayor Jeremiah Don ovan is candidate for election as mayor for the third time and interest there centers in the outcome of the mayoralty. the Republican women having gained control of the party.

Line Up Is
 Stronger Than Ever
(Continued from Page One.)

reel that they can pear no more.
 Mayor Wilson. with large forces behind him, such as those who owe office to him. or contracts, or other forms of business, is moved chiefly by the desire to be returned. It is un- deniabIe, however, that the mayor has many sincere followers who are not supporting him from motive of self benefit.
 The Voters League today is con fdent and feels that its objects will be achieved.
 The so-called organization has large the control of the city's purse. but also is influenced by motives of re- prisal. MT. Ballard led a fusion movement with the Democrats, two years ago. He represents more par ticularly the Roraback element in the Republican party: MT. Delaney was recently displaced from the office of rninistration with whom he went into feud during the time of the so-called raids, when the mayor himself em- ployed the Burns detective agency, and spread a drag net of the law over gambling resorts, saloons and houses of III fame.
 This unexpected story was supposed in the time of 1t to be aimed es- at certain members of the police de- partm ment. some of whom subsequently y resigned under what pressure or for what reasons the public has never known.
 This mixed porridge of the purest public motives. mingled with the most sordid vacations. self seekings, angers and revenges. makes the con- test which tomorrow will witness unique in tho politics of Bridgeport. The outcome Is awaited with extra ordinary interest.
 Up to the point of the elimination of Mayor Wilson there Is an inevita- ble and natural community of inter est between the Voters League and the Organization Republicans. They have the same object up to this point. Wilson being out Of the way. the community of interest Is likely to cease. The Organization will be concerned chiefly with a man whom N"the boys want" The League will l seek candidates fronN the standpoint of the financial and industrial well | fare of the city. The Republican | convention in its turn will present a most interesting contest.
