 The biggest democratic rally to
 be held in Plainvile in years will take place tonight in Grange hall when one of the ablest list of fspeakers ever gathered together by the Jeffersonians will appear to put forward the arguments in favor of the democratic party.
 Former Congressman Augustine Lonergan of Hartford, who is being spoken of as possible candidate for senator in place of the late Senator Frank Brandegee heads the lists of speakers. His ability as an orator is well known to both demo- crats and republicans and his close connections with national affairs gives him good insight into the ar guments of the present campaign. With him at the rally will he Harry L. Brooks of New Haven, candidate of the democratic ticket for lieutenant governor and consd- cred one of the strongest candidates on the entire list; Miss Adele Mur- ray of Berlin, well known cam paigper for the Jeffersonians; Mrs. Louise Day Duffy Of West Hartford, candidate for the office of state sen ator and sister of Mrs. Charles S. Wyckoff of Plainville; Emil Marzano and John Cont, two of Italian ex- traction who are strong campaigners for the democrats.
 The local democratic town com mittee has arranged for a large at tendance and have canvassed the town so that almost the entire mem oership of the democratic party has promised to attend. An innovation will be started tonight when a num- Der of singers and musicians will en- certain the audience between the speakers andT arrangements have been made to entertain a large num- Der who will attend.
 This will be the only rally fin Plainville during the campaign and because of the importance of the speakers, it is considered a strategic move on the part Of the democratic committee.
 There will be no republican rally Tn the town, according to present plans of the town committee, as con- ndence Is expressed that the voters will return a large majority for the republican ticket at the polls on Tuesday.
