YOUTH HELD IN
 AUTO FATALITY Bridgeport Minor Will Have to
 Stand Trial

Bridgeport Conn, Nov. 1 f4l- Walter Lush, a minor, is held crlm-
 nally responsible for the death of William Poster. 34, who was run down by an automobile driven by Lush on the night of October 1T, under a finding by Coroner John J. Phelan today. Mr. Lush who is under arrest pending the finding of the coroner, will be arraigned in city court tomorrow.
 . Poster, who died the morning fol- lowing the accident, had stepped off a northbound trolley car at Hillhouse avenue and was crossing over to his home when struck down. It was claimed by Driver Lush to the po- lice that his car was running at rate of 8 miles an hour and that as he approached the place of the ac- cident his vision was obscured by a bus crossing Main street, between himself and Foster and that after passing to the left he unavoidably struck the deceased. After Foster was struck, the Lush machine went on 70 feet and overturned and two of it's passengers were injured.
 The outcome of the coroncr's in- vestigation showed that there were no vehicles on Main street at the time of the accident to obstruct Lush's vision.

sitting as calmly as if he were re- viewing the walls of people through which he passed. They were screaming acclamations such as long live the duce!' death to the enemies of fascism!" and woe to him who touches the saviour Of Italy,"
 When the premier reached home he received message from King Victor Emmanuel containing affec- tionate congratulations in the name of himself and the royal family on the prcmier's escape. In all parts Of the country a wave of indigna- tion, dwarfing those which oc- cured during previous attacks on Mussolini's life swept Italy like wildf1re.
 After Mussolini had left the au- tomobile at the railway station the bullet fired by the youth was found on the floor of the car. It was taken by the police for examination. While Mussolini was in the station here he chatted unconcernedly with officers and members of his family who had been awaiting him there.

in the tbroes of the windup of a whirlwind election campaign today, Maine was picking it's candidates for the seat made vacant by the death last August of L. s. Senator Bert S. Fernald.
 Four Republican candidates were in the field while a lone democrat, FultoA J. Redman of Ellsworth, who ran against Fernald ill 1924, was assured of nomination.
 On the G. O. P. side former Gov. Percival r. Baxter of this city. Arthur H. Gould, Presque Isle, a former state Maine senator, Hodg don C.

Weller, republican, Fight On Bingham
 The democrats made a brisk fight on Hiram Bingham, who entered the senate from Connecticut less than two years ago and is seeking re- election. The campaign was devoted to state issues, especially to the con- duct of the highway department. New Jersey and West Virginia re- port little interest in the state cam paigns. New Jersey democrats de- mand a modification of the Nolstead act and the republicans in West Virginia urge the support of the national administration. Rhode Is land elects a governor and New Hampshire and Vermont elect both a governor and a senator.
 First LuIl in Fight
 Today marked the first Hull in one of the most strenuous political cam paigns the state has ever known.
 The leaders of both republican confident of victory at the polls. Gov. Smiths headquarters predicted that he will win by 275,000 plural- ity. It was estimated that he would carry Greater New York by close to 500,o0o. Ogden L. Mills, his repub- lican opponent. estimated that he would win by 275.ooO that he would come to the Bronx with plurality of 100000 and that Gov. Smith would not have lead of more than 275,ooo in New York city.
 Robert F. Wagner, democratic candidate for United States senate, wa6 confident he would unhorsc Ames W. Wadsworth. Jr., his re- publican opponent. His manager said he would win by at least 2o0.- 900 plurality. The Wadsworth head quarters made no estimates but pro- fessed confidence that their candi- date could be returned to Washing ton. The third candidate for sena- tor, Franklin w. Cristman, running on an independent dry republican ticket, Is allowed scant chance of election but his presence in the field constitutes menace to Wadsworth's hopes. The majority in the prohibi- tion referendum for modification of the Volstead act Is estimated by the wet side at not less than 5o0,- GOO in the state.
 The socialists continued their speaking campaign today and while they make no claims for success save in isolated instances they are confident that the party as a whole will recover In great measure the strength 1t has lost In recent years

hushed them and realize that economy which increases the yearly expenditures of the state at the as tonishing rate of s2,00o. GOO a year only. Today, the state is paying more money in salaries alone than it cost to operate the entire com- monwealth under the admlnistra- tion ot Gov. Baldwin Since 1916, the state has been launched on an orgy of tax levying and money spending unparalleled in any other state in the union. If this be econo- my let the republican party make the most of it.
 The time is fast approaching when the people Of Connecticut will rise Up in just wrath and ex- pei this visible, all-powerful mon archy from the borders of this state. No man, no little town or no great city can even breathe the thought of freedom aloud without fear of swift and cruel punishment at the hands of J. Henry Eora- back.
 Connecticut was founded by men in whose bosoms burned the flame of the holy fire of liberty Throughout all the history of Con- necticut the right of local self gov ernment has been the dominant creed in the political religion of all the citizens. So much so that Con- necticut, smallest but two of the states of the Union, bears the mightiest of names, the constitu- tion state

Coolidge Votes in Mass.

To stimulate the movement to the polls, MT. Coolidge will leave to- day for his home town, Northamp- ton, Mass, to cast his vote for Sena- tor Butler and Governor Fuller, the only candidates in the entire coun- try he has publicly endorsed. Hopes of the democratic managers to ob- tain a, majority of the new senate are pinned to contests in 1e states where they have concentrated the bulk of their effort in the senatorial campaign. These states are: Arizona, Colorado. Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, which is to elect two senators; Ken lucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mis- souri, Nevada. New York. Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah and Wash ington.
 Seats in Dispute
 Seats in dispute in all of these states are held by republicans and while the democrats express conf- dence in obtaining the necessary nine to give them control of the senate republican leaders assert that with few exceptions these 1e states are normally republican and can be expected 10 remain 50 this year.
 To capture the house. the demo- crats must overturn the republicans in 35 districts. Some democratic managers assert this will be done. predicting a democratic landslide, but the G. o. P. managers practi- cally dismiss this as a rather idle dream induIged in by their oppe- nents.
 Maze of Issues
 Tn approaching the polls to regis ter their final conclusions from the campaign. the voters have to con- slider q maze of issues--national state and local-for out Of all of the weeks and months of the battle there has emerged no great national question which might be expected to swing the pendulum of popular de- cision.
 Prohibition and the world court once gave promise of furnishing real campaign material, but the national party leaders have kept silent on them, for candidates in each party were split on both questions.
 In some states disclosures before the senate campaign funds commit tee furnished the fighting points. Purity in elections became an issue in Pennsylvania as result of the huge expenditures on behalf of Sen- ator Pepper and William s. Ware.
 Row In Illinois
 Public utilities campaign contribu- tions started row in Illinois which eventually led President Coolidge to declare q neutral attitude. but in that state as in Pennsylvania, the wet and dry issue formed the real basis for the campaigning.
 Prohibition also was a foremost question In the Massachusetts contest in which President Coolidge's per- sonal friend, Senator Butler, whom he chose to conduct his campaign for the presidency two years ago. is a against former Senator David I. Walsh.
 In Indiana, where both Senators Watson and Robinson are seeking reelection, charges of a corrupt re- Klux Klan deal. and of klan control of politics created an eleventh hour rucus with charges and denlals flying in almost all d. rections.
 Fight Tn Senate
 Besides the 32 seats in the new senate involved in this election, there are four in the present sen- ate-one for Indiana, one for Mis- souri, one for Massachusetts, and one for Iowa. Senators Robinson, Indiana: Williams, Missouri, and

 Quickly he was seized by infuri- ated blackshirts who fclled him, stabbed him 14 times. and then dragged the body through a scream ing sea of humanity.
 Bullet Rips Clothes
 It was a narrow escape for the premier. The bullet missed only by a fraction Of an inch imbedding itself in his chest. It ripped both sides of his coat. cut the sash of the order of Saint Maurice and Saint Lazarus across his breast and entered the sleeve of the mayor of Bologna, who was sitting in the au- tomobile at the left of Mussolini.
 Mussolini, as when previous at sacks were made upon him. was unperturbed. As crowds gathered In the path of Il duce's automobile, almost overturning 1t in endeavors to get close enough to ascertain whether he was injured, he sat up- right, showing not the slightest nervousness.

 Mussolini had been attending the opening Of the congress for the ad- vancement of science in the sta dium and had just started for his home in Forl when the attack was made. As his car entered the Via 1ndependenzia crowds standing be- hind lines of carabineers keeping the route open were cheering.
