McLEVY RESENTS
(Continued from Page One. )

officially. MT. McLevy is the candi- date of the Socialist party in Connec- ticut for the governorship and his par ty nationally has endorsed La Toilette and not entered any candidate for the national office. Therefore MT. McLevy can be placed as speaking more from a socialist standpoint that from a La Dor attitude, although his Labor sin cerity has never been questioned.
 The article in the Waterbury Her aid of last Sunday quoting MT. McLevy asserted that Secretary Ornburn at tended a meeting of the Bridgeport Central Labor Union and received curt reception when he tried to put over his ideas of side-stepping La Follete" Nothing was further from the fact. There was no attempt niaGe to defect from La Follette's chances the visit to the Central Body being one solely having to do with Labor matters rather than politics and what personal views might have been held were held without any effort being made to pass them along. Bridgeport has a strong Socialist following in it's midst and large number of these ad- herents are connected with Organized Labor It may be possible that this element will be able to so control the situation in the central body as to pro- cure an endorsement of La Toilette but that will not bind the rank and file of Labor to vote for him any more than will any articles in support of Davis by The Labor News bind the voters of Labor in Connecticut to vote for the democratic nominees.
 That there is to be an attempt to even get the State Federation of La bor to endorse La Toilette and Wheel CT at it's convention next month is evident from the apparently inspired article in the New Haven Journal Courier this week. It says:

THE PALACE

a One branch of the Ford family has gasoline driven vehicle while another has become famous through the dex- terious and graceful use of the pedal extermities. It is in the latter that the interest of theatre goers Is centered as a portion of the dancing branch of the Fords will be the headline attraction at the Palace during the first three days of the week. Dora and Edwin Ford in their classy and elaborate revue Is the prime attraction that has been chosen and stepping merit. Originally of the Four Fords,, the finest dancing quar- tette that ever graced vaudeville, Edwin and Dora are now presenting their new revue which in every way Is in keeping with their great regulations as leaders among dancers.
 The entire gamut of tepsichore is in cluded in the routine offered by these clever people. Ballet, jazz. buck and, wing, in fact, every style of dancing is cleverly presented by these peerless steppers. Edwin and Dora as the two principals are assisted by Lottie Ford younger member of the family, and Bob Adams and Al Barton.
 People of generous avoirdupois are as rule jolly and good natured and this fact is particularly true of James "Fat" Thompson who also has that rare gift of imparting some his jollity to others. Thompson is comedian of whom vaudeville has been taking parti- cular pride for many seasons This sea- son he has been making the big hit of

GERMANS TO ELECT
 A NEW CHANCELLOR

BERLIN, Dec. 11-Nine chancellors in six years is the record the German republic has established and as the election of December 7 approached, there was considerable excitement as to who would be the tenth man.
 Dr. Wilhelm Marx, the recent chan cellor, who took over the post in December, 1913, managed to keep the boat steady during trying times in spite of the fact that he did not rep resent majority government. His handling of government affairs in the London conference which evolved a plan for putting the Dawes project in effect, and his success in getting the German Reichstag to accept the plan were great achievements.
 But after the adoption of the Dawes plan and the successful floating of the loan of S2O0 100000 abroad for the establishment of German gold bank to stabilize German currency do-

In those cases, the police said, complaint must be made that the money was taken by taxicab driv- CTS under false pretenses.
 Officers said 72 persons were ar rested on Federal mountain trails last week between Blaine and Sumas, Wash. The men were mostly Scan dinavians.
