DAVIS T0ATTACK
HONESTY OF c. 0. P.
Will Also AssaiI Foreign Poll.
CIes in Notification Address
/ at CIarksburg.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DARK HARBOR, IsIesboro. Ne.
July S0.-After two weeks in the
peace and quiet of the Penobscot Bav
Islands, John w. Davis, Democratic
presidential nominee, will start back
to New York late today to begin the
oriVe that is to carry his political
fortunes into the November elections.
In his pocket Is the draft of his ac-
ceptance address, the product of his
labors in Maine, and his all-impor-
tant utterances Of the campaign. It
Will be delivered ten days hence at
Clarksburg, probably from the We
randa OF the Davis homestead, where
MS sister now resides. While en-
bodied in it will be a discussion of
many issues, the speech's central
theme Will be honesty in govern
ment," the 1924 battle cry of the
Democratic party.
Will AsSail G. O. r.
The nominee will assail the record
Of the Republican administration as
disclosed in Senate Investigations
and will attack President Coolidge
and other Republican leaders for
what the Democrats have charged
was their reluctance in permitting
the full flow Of the inquiries and in
acting upon the information devel
oped
Next in Importance will be the dis
cussion of foreign affairs. Here again,
MS friends say, the Democratic can
didate will attack the record of the
Harding Coolidge administration. OF
little less import will be the dis
cussion of agricultural relief. Mr.
Davis is described by those who are
most Intimately acquired with his
ideas as inclined to be very liberal
in the treatment of the subject and
they would not be surprised If he
goes a step further than does the
Democratic platform.
Attitude ON Farm Plank.
The candidate is known to regard
that section of the farm plank re-
ferring to the restoration Of the for
eign markets for American farm
products as somewhat vague. He be-
neves a specific means of accomplish
ing this end should be set before the
country.
AS it is in the platform, the Ku
Klux Klan issue probably will be
dealt with generally under the sub
ject of religious liberty. So far as
the Democratic ranks themselves are
concerned this is regarded by many
party leaders as one Of the most deli
cate of the many subjects to be
treated.
Taxation and tariff will be other
major topics of the address. Other
subjects taken up in the platform
are likely to be dealt with in a rather
general way with their development
left to the time when M. Davis will
plead his cause face to face with the
voters in many States.

Traffic Managers Are Concerned
 About Possible Changes

A matter of vital interest to many shippers in New Britain will be dis cussed at the meeting of the traffic bureau of the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday at noon when a proposed change in demurrage rates on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad will be discussed.
 At the present time demurrage is not charged by the railroad company on cars not unloaded until these cars nave been placed. There are about dozen sidings in the city which are used by two or more rms. If one of these firms has a car on the siding and delays unloading so that a car con- signed to another firm using the same

|TO KEEP CITY HALL | FOR PUBLIC OFFICES
Commission Discourages Lawyers
 and Veterans Organizations

Committees of the Bar association and of servicemens organizations who appeared before the city hall com- mission yesterday to petition for quarters in the part of city hali shortly to be vacated by the New Brit ain club were given little encourag ge- ment, the commission advising that the room will probably be needed for city offices and if given over to other purposes, it may be necessary for l branches of the city government to be housed outside the building. l Judges B. F.. Gaffney, w. c. Hun gerford and w. F. Mangan represent ed the Bar association. They told of the advisability of changing the loca- 1 ton of the city court room and ex- plained that part of the New Britain club quarters would be ideal.
 Members of the city hall commits sion suggested that in the event the school and health departments are building, there may be a likelihood that the city court cail be housed in that part of city hall that is now taken up by the school committee
 Theodore Johnson, Commander Reed of A. G. Hammond camp, U. $. w. V., and Col. w. W. Bullen ap- peared in the interests of Hammond camp. Mir. Johnson told the com mission his organization now has 52 members and, because of the small dues, is not in a financial position to hire quarters or meeting hall. Its present quarters in the state armory are cramped. and there is no know ing how long it will be before they are forced to vacate. In reply to a question, he said quarters in the old normal school would be entirely sat- isfactory.
 Curtis L. Sheldon, who with w. w. T. Squire, represented the Legion, said the Legion's lease runs out in May and the rooms have been leased to someone else, making that organiza- tion>s need an immediate one.
 Nathan C.. Avery, representative of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, said his organization had asked the coun- cil some mopths ago for quarters in city hall and is in touch with the city hall commission and the com- mittee in whose hands is the matter of disposing of the old normal school building.

 The proposed change will be thrashed out by the traffic managers of the city at their monthly meeting Tuesday.
 Present at the meeting will be E. E. Jones. New England freight and passenger agent of Boston and W. J. Murray. general agent, of New Haven, representing the Erie railroad. A re- port on the hearing before the Inter state Commerce Commission on through rates from the West Virginia coal fields will be given.
 A special appeal is being made to the traffic managers to get to this meeting as many shipping clerks as possible. The meeting will be held at the New Britain club at noon.

ITALIAN CATHOLIC
 PARTY IN ELECTION
Faces One of Greatest Crises in
 Its History

Rome, Feb. 9.-On the eve of the election the Italian Catholic party, led by Don Luigi Sturzo, is going through its greatest crisis since its foundation. Felippo Meda, former secretary of the treasury, one of it's leading members. refuses to be in cluded in the party list if the extrem- ist element headed by Deputy Migioli is kept in the party, Signors Milani. Longinotti and Micheli, all members of former cabinets, take the same view as Signor Meda.
 Simultaneously those members who had already seeded from the party when Don Luigi took his stand against the present electoral law ad- vocated by Premier Mussolini. seem to be gaining ground.
 Their party called the national union. is especially strong in north ern Italy where its present candidates are openly favorable to the Fascista government.
 This party already includes many of the best known names of the Cath olic aristocracy and middle class

s p e akin g of Sports


 Wrestlers should stick to their last. Likewise boxers. A South Amer ican boxer, named Francisco Guip- poni, meeting a Japanese jiu-jitsu ex- perg named Taxi, killed his opponent by blow on the solar plexus. A year Ago Dempsey and Strangler Lewis were talking about a similar match.
 Italy is sending us another cham pion prize fighter. This bird is a mid dleweight and his name is Bruno Frattini. Bruno is said to be tough egg. No one has ever knocked him off his spacious puppies.
 Professional boxing will be reopen ed in Cleveland within the next SO days, and the first show will be staged by the American Legion, very likely in the big municipal auditorium where later, in the year the republi- can national convention will be held.
 Archie Walker, a young lightweight who formerly starred in amateur cir cles, will be put to a real test Feb. IS when he goes against the rugged and hard-hitting Rocky Kansas. Walker surprised the smart guys recently by stopping Charles O'Connell of Cleve- land. T Atwood c. (Lefty) Palmer has is- sued a call for candidates for the Besse-Leland baseball team which promises to give all contenders for city honors a stiff battle this year. Old members and others who wish to try out for positions will meet Feb ruary 14 at p. m. at the Besse-Le- land store.

SEATING PROBLEM SERIOUS
 IN TOWN SCHOOL

The following article prepared by Supt. W. L. Gross regarding the seating conditions in the town school for the coming term shows one of the problems of the school confront 1 ing Wrangell next year:
 There are to be 12 promoted from the Kindergarten to the primary room which is now full to capacity but the same number are to be pro noted from this room to the third and fourth grade room. This room has seating capacity of 30 and now has an enrolment of 42. r of these are to be promoted but with 12 entering the room will still have an excess of seven to jam in some way The fifth and sixth grade room has capacity of 30 and has 26 enrolled. IT are to enter this room and 15 are to be promoted which will take care of this room but these | 15 are to go into a room with a ca pacity of % which Is now crowded to the limit and only six to be pro noted to the high school This leaves an excess of 10 for this room and nc way to jam them in. The question is" What shall we do with these ex. tra 17?"
 It is very likely there will be mora people move to Wrangell before next year and what would We do with any more in the schools?

AS IT WILL BE
MARGARET BELL

(Reprinted from Stikine Messenger One evening of the year 197S, a Ileapyear, Joyce Reynolds ate a hasty Idinner and then hurried down to the Dog Star, the most frequented pool hall in town, to tell her pals of ter rible event which had taken place the night before.
 Alice Booth, what do you think that terrible man has done?" "Who?" asked Alice. calmly chalk ing her cue.
 Why, James O'Connor. He actu- ally had the nerve to propose to me last night!''
 What" chimed in many voices. for by this time the gang, nosing something choice, had gathered about. What do you suppose pos sessed him? How did he dare?"
 We'll" explained Joyce, now the center of the interested circle, You know there's that fool tradition that men have the privilege of proposing on Leapyear. Probably the silly thing thought he'd take advantage of iti Or maybe some of the fellows dared him to do it. That's about the kind of thing you'd expect from a gang of silly fellowsl"
 But what on earth did you do?" questioned one. Come on, Reynolds. let's have the story"
 I'm sure I would have slapped his face and left his house instantly that's what would have done!" said Alice positively.
 That's just what I did do," re- turned Joyce with a wicked gleam in her eye. Believe me, it'll be long day before call on that old boy again!''
 And she didn't, nor did any of the girls, for the story spread fast. From that day on James O'Connor was a social outcast, never invited any where, and snubbed and ignored by the girls. In fact, they never even tipped their hats to him on the street. If he dropped his glove or daintily embroidered and scented handkerchief not a girl offered to pick it up for him. It was a sad day for Jimmy, so he soon learned, wher he followed a foolish impulse and broke time-honored custom.
 ''Ah, know what I'll do," he cried in desperation. I'll start an em- broidery shop on Second Avenue and go to work and earn my own living. That'll be better than marrying old Joyce anyway"
 So, inwardly reluctant, James set to work crocheting for all he was worth, but in vain. A way out of his troubles was not so easily to be found. No girl would rent him the space for his store. Neither could he build his own store-he didn't know how! Nor would any girl contract to build one for him for any amount of money. With tears in his big, beautiful eyes poor James sadly threw all his fancy work into the stove.
 And what became of James? One of the girls some years later, upon re- turning from a business trip, re- ported having seen him in a lumber camp cooking for bunch of lumber James. But the report was of little interest to the girls of his home town. As far as they were concerned, any man who had shown so little re- gard for a social convention was a | Dead Number!
