There will be plenty doing be tween now and the first of Nov ember. if one may judge by the brlskbats that both political par ties have cast already, but the contest will lack the color that characterized elections of a by gone day. One does not have to go further back than the Cleve- land-Harrison campaign of 1888 to reach a time when election and the events that preceded it had all the glory and excitement of cirrus. The present genera tion knows nothing of the blare of the parade, the smell of the oil torches. or the savor of the roast OK at the barbecue. There is no fun in campaign nowa- days.

Meeting Decided TOTear
 Down City Dock

(COntlnued From rage One) was to discuss the disposition of the warehouse and dock Coun- cilmen Rude and Polet of the special committee to investigate it, spoke in favor of tearing it down immediately and the city preserving the lumber etc, for use by other city departments.
 O'Connor was opposed to such action suggesting that the matter be laid on the table until the ar rival of Colonel Wilds, when he believed some inexpensive means of arranging the matter might be taken up with him, whereby the city would not be put to the ex- pense of costly hauling or tear ing down job on a piece of city property which, bears certain value to the city as a warehouse for it's equipment and storage of supplies.
 The mayor said he believed the Colonel would back up the resi- dent U. s. Engineer in his de- mand that the warehouse be re- moved so that piling along the revetment could be driven and the big hole filled in with dirt. a plan which, it was reported, has been proposed for numerous years past.
 A motion was made by Polet, seconded by Rude and passed 4 to 2 to tear the building down. O'Connor and Hagen voted again st the motion.
 The same special committee was directed to handle the mat ter. However, Councilman O. Connor said he wished to be ex- cused from the committee in- cluding Rude and Polet, because he was entirely opposed to such a procedure. His request was granted, and the meeting adjour- ned.
 The matter did not seem to have been talked out sufficiently at the meeting because numerous councilmen discussed it later, & some city officials could not see why the council could not have awaited the arrival of Colonel Wilds, with a possibility that he might be able to arrange some less destructive and inexpensive plan of allowing the proposed work at the harbor to proceed.
 Others said that now that the city has no warehouse of it's own to store supplies or equipment in, it will be right up the councils alley" to farm such articles out and pay someone a good rent to

The Connecticut socialist party was
divided today into two bitterly OPP

faction Of Bridgeport's Mayor Jas
per McLevy divorced itself from the
national organization over the ques-
tion Of state autonomy. Left wing
ers, led by National Executive Com
mitteeman Devere Allen, Wilton,
bolted the state convention Sunday,
set up separate organization and
paraded out of the convention hall
singing 1.-THE Internationale." The
fight centered today on obtaining a
place on the state ballot, both fac
tons claiming recognition from the
secretary Of state.
McLevy Started Battle
McLevy, one Of the organizers OF
the party in 1901 and Its guberna-
torial candidate Ave times, prec-
ipitated the battle after he had been
nominated to head the ticket. The

Of FIVE right wingers, proposed
amending the constitution, eliminate
