 t'I am heartily in favor of the movement, but I think before any re- suits are accomplished it will have to be a universal one. There are many people now with revo1vers and they are irresponsible.
 we are trying to do away with such people in Bridgeport. It really is hard task.
 eff all the states in the union take somewhere, but when just a, few try it I think the results will be slight. I am heartily in favor of it though and if it ever comes to a place where the movement will be universal will do my best to have pistols and other firearms eliminated in Bridgeport"

Rome, Aug. 5.
Fascists occupation of municipal
councils controlled by the Socialists
during the recent disorders was
not a matter of impulse. 1t was
part of general Plan to take the local
governments out of the hands of the
Socialists before the municipal elections
which will be held next year. This plan
has been put into action because the
peculiar organization of Italian town
government makes it possible for the
party in power TO control elections to
very large extent.
The Socialists control about ne-four'h
of the country's town governments, hav-
ing 900 administrators in power The
oretically nothing but violent tactics
could prevent the Socialists from hold
ing these places in the coming elections,
but practically they are losing their hold
over the masses. But the Fascist are
tooz impatient to wait for this develop
ment.
Instead they use the torch and the
rife. During the first two days follow
ing the strike, the Fascist according
to their own official list. destroyed no
less than 43 chambers of labor. work
ers' circles and Red town headquar-
ters in cities and towns of Italy.
These tactics met with some success.
The Socialist administration of Livorno
collapsed under the assault. In Milan
the Fascist made a dramatic seizure OF
the Palazzo Marino, where for four
years the Socialists had been admins
tering the citys business In many other
towns, the power Of the Socialists has
been given a serious OF mortal blow,
The effect on the Socialist party was
marked. For several hours there were
persistent rumors over the country that
the whole Socialist administration Of
1000 would walk out of the municipali-
ties in protest. This plan will probably
not be carried out, as on the one hand
Il would involve heavy expense on the
part OF the State. which would react

other hand 1t would have the effect OF
abandoning Socialist strongholds 10
Fascist successors.
The Fascist are proving 10 their own
satisfaction that they can overcome the
steam roller effect Of Italian municipal
politics by the steam roller Of direct
force
The Italian town councillors are
elected directly in numbers varying with
the size of the city. In Milan and Rome,
for instance. forty-eight eonsiglieri are
elected every five years. The consiglieri
elect the administrators and the Mayor.
Proportional representation Is not APP
piled to local elections, so that II there
is for instance a Socialist ma jorty of
councillors the town administration be-
comes entirely Socialist. Milan for the
last four years has been living under a
100 per cent. Socialist administration,
the party having elected thirty-six out
OF the forty-eight consiglieri.
Italian citizens need certificates of
residence in order to vote. and these
certificates are naturally controlled by
the local administration. Steam rollerins
by the party In power has grown up in
Italian cities to an enormous extent, as
far as the issuance OF voting certificates
goes. 1t is further supplemented by
effective tactics by the dominating party
on the election day. The judge OF the
election can always challenge an un-
wanted voter to identify himself and the
citizen may find HIS neighbors and even
his relatives In the polling room declar-
ing they never saw him, If he happens
to belong TO the wrong party.
The Fascist. therefore. are preparing
for the elections by taking over the power
In advance. In several cases they have
proved that they can occupy the town
hall demand the resignation of the So
cfalist executives and then be sure Of
themselves replacing these officers by
grace Of the temporary administrators
sent down by the central government.

Committee members thought they had

y. D., asking for information in regard
to provision being made for the per-
formance OF marriage ceremonies during
the convention.
Can marriage take place under the
auspices of the American Legion at the
convention in New Orleans this year or
not?" Nicholson queries. "If so, I'd
like to have full details about every
thing like dress to be worn, where to get
license. &c. also what time to be there I"
Nicholson hopes for favorable reply.
During the Legion convention in Kan
sas City last year twenty couples were
married in convention hall by the Rev.
John w. Inzer. national chaplain. The
Kansas City committee paid for the
marriage licenses and local merchants
provided wedding rings and numerous
presents.
I'VE had not considered duplicating
the Kansas City free marriage offer this
year" the convention chairman declared
