ATTENDANCE MARK AT WOMEN'S RALLY
More Than 800 Attend Demo- cratic Gathering at Elks' Hall

What is believed to be new at tendance record at womens poiti- cal rally was established last night in the Elks home on Washington street, when Mrs. Fanny Dixon Welch of the democratic state central com mittee, Miss Adele Murray, Mrs. Thomas Kennedy and Mayor A. NJ. l Paonessa addressed a gathering Of more than 500 women. Mrs. Laura M. Mangan, 9 member of the school committee and chairman of the wom- ems democratic committee, presided at the meeting.
 The female speakers of the evening discussed, for the most part, the ac- ompishments of the democratic party in the state and federal gov ernment and outlined what the party stands for. They urged support of the local democratic ticket. The speakers drew rounds of applause when they praised the local standard bearer Mayor A. M. Paonessa. who is seeking a second term at city hall.
 Mayor Paonessa was the last speaker of the evening. He discussed the accomplishments of his adminis- tration, declaring that some of those who are now publicly attacking him had praised his work throughout the two years and up to one month ago. He told the women that the re. publican machine Is selfish organi- zation, citing the cases of ex-Coun- cilmen Maxwell s. Porter and Clifford w. HeIberg. both of whom, he said, were ''knifcd" by the republican party because they dared support & democratic administration.
 When the mayor told of conditions in the old wooden building that for many years housed inmates at the Town Farm, and of how his admin istration had provided a handsome. modern, fireproofed and homelike new building, he drew applause that lasted for several minutes.
 The two platoon system, the com fort station, pavements on Broad, Park, Dwight and South Main streets, and other public works that were &C., eomplished during the Paonessa ad- ministration were discussed briefly by the candidate.
 Tn conclusion tho mayor told the women that he had set his case be- fcre the voters and that, if they felt that he had lived up to his campaign promises in providing a good, efficient and economical administration, he believed he again deserved their vote. He said much of tho party's success at the polls next Tuesday depended on the way the women work and vote and he urged the hardest kind Of ef- fort to continue the democratic sd- ministration in power.

Mayor Paonessa agreed that poor judgment might have been shown in this instance, but he had faith in the board to carry through the present program to the city's benefit.
 Elk Mayor Orson F. Curtis said the school committee made mistake when it erected big auditoriums Mayor Paonessa said this had been his fight against the school committee and that even that board now admits that it was not necessary to construct the large auditoriums that were built in recent years.
 Before he left the building, Mir. Quigley repeated that he was opposed to any program that did not set forth just where the schools were to be built and their costs.
 Chairman Edward r. Hall of the board of finance and taxation told the. city meeting board that passage of this bond issue will leave a little more than a million dollars 10 be is sued before the limit of bonding in- dcbtcdness is reached.

 ;tion should be taken with regard

 Mir. Quigley said the program looks as if the school board is going to erect q school in the blackberry patch" near the Newington town line. Mr. King replied that no site has been He said an item of S2S,0O0 was included because two sites, the Gorbach and the Smith-D DAngelo tracts, are under consideration and the highest priced of these is S23,000.
 Quigley insisted that neither of these sites was adapted to school pur- poses and he believed that the money should be disregardcd.
 Daniel Sullivan condemned both sites. warning that in the selection of ! place for the new building. the city could do something very beneficial or very detrimental and care should be exercised.
 Ex-Mayor Qnigloy declared that the ichool committee had used poor judg- nent in the past in the selection Of he Nathan Hale school site and in he construction Of the building. |
