In The Local Theaters
POLES

A highly outstanding Broadway vaudeville program with the lead- ing artists of the entertainment world, will be the gigantic stage pre- sentation of the Loew Pol theater Wednesday. evening.
 Heading this splendid bill is Mar shal Montgomery. who is positively the worlds greatest ventriloquist. Montgomery has won wide acclaim both here and abroad for his clever work in the field of ventriloquism. He is also distinguished as the star of the Phillip Morris Radio Hour. You have heard him over the air and no doubt enjoyed his perform ance, now you are being given the rare pportunity of meeting this celebrity in person, on our stage Wednesday evening, at g o'clock, for one performance only.
 Supporting this headliner are sev- eral high-caliber novelty acts, in- cluding Jack and Sill in featS per- formed from a high perch; Water bury's favorites, Fred Pisano and O., the Italian statesmen; Mason and F'reda, enacting a comedy kaockabout that is tops in hilarity; and concluding this star-studded array of talent come the Murphy Sisters, Ton of Rhythm, direct from a record breaking engagement at the Casa Manana, Billy Roses famous New York night spot.
 Furnishing a scintillating musical background for this great show are Gus Myers and the Loew Poli the ater orchestra.
 Presented in addition to this stage show are two superb screen attrac- tions, and best of all, there is posi- lively no advance in our regular popular prices.
 Heading the screen bill is the much -talked-about and widely dis cussed radio horror play of the day, Mars Attacks the World" The Loew-Poli theater scoops the town in entertainment by bringing to Wa terbury this terrifying drama which startled the nation only a short week ago. Mass hysteria gripped the country when this Mars play went on the air, and thousand of terror r-stricken listeners throughout the country fled from their homes when they tuned in the synthetic news broadcasts which depicted the beginning of an interplanetary war.
 All the terrifying drama depicted over the air is brought to vivid-real- ity in the screen presentation of Mars Attacks the World"

LAREIN! TO ASK
 JAIL SENTENCE
Supreme Court Denies Sal inardi's Appeal Faces
 Nine Months in Jail

Prosecutor William J. Liarkin, Jr.. of the court of common pleas is ek- pected to make application in that court tomorrow morning for an ex- ecution of nine months jail sen- tetnce which was imposed on Frank ''Tingles' Salinardi in City court April 12, 1897.
 The lengthy delay has been caused by appeals to the court of common pleas and the supreme court If er- TOTS, each of which was denied. Dur- ing the protracted litigation, Sal- inardi has been free on bonds. Stays of execution of sentence were grant, ed pending each appeal decision.
 Last Wednesday the supreme court of errors issued decision, denying a new trial to Salinardi on the charges of assault, breach of the peace and resistance, which were the basis of the nine months jail term.
 Unless some new defense move is taken, and it is understood that there are no more defense moves available, Salinardi will probably start the nine months term tonor- row.

Mooney, 2l Years In Prison, May See Freedom Under New California Governor
Long Career As a Cause Nears End
BY SHERMAN MONTROSE NEA Service Stan Correspondent

BY SHERMAN MONTROSE { NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 San Francisco, Nov. IA Election of Culbert Olson as governor brings pardon in sight for Tom Mooney af- ter 21 years in prison.
 At least Mooney thinks so, for he issued an elaborate pamphlet during the campaign urging OlA sons election on the ground he was pledged to free Mooney. Olson himself did not discuss the case during the campaign, but his views are implied by the fact he made two-hour speech in the legislature n 1897 urging a leg islative pardon for Mooney as an innocent man.
 Five successive California gov- ernors Stephens, Richardson, Young, Rolph and Merriam) have refused to pardon Mooney. Olson is the first to occupy the governors chair since Mooney's conviction in 1917 on charges of bombing a Prepardedness Parade the year previous who apparently believes him innocent and is pledged Cat least indirectly) to pardon him.
 DASTARDLY CRIME
 INFLAMES CITY
 Much water has gone over the dam in ceaseless flow ever since 1917 in the Mooney case. Mooney is, and perhaps he always was, more than simply citizen charged with a dastartdly crime. Twenty years of ceaseless agita- tion have made him a Symbol, a Cause.
 The undisputed facts about the Mooney case are few and simple In July of 1916, San Francisco staged a huge Preparedness Pa rade. The community was filled with patriotic and war spirit. It also had been bedeviled by vio- !, lent labor trouble.
 AS the parade was passing Market and Steuart streets at , 2:O6 D. n., July 9, time bomb exploded. It had been left in a suitcase on the sidewalk in front O1 d SdlOO41. 4CA pCOpAC uAcu and nearly 50 others were hor- ribly wounded and mangled.
 City police and Pinkerton de- tectives immediately sought Tom Mooney, a molder, an Interna- tional Workers of the World radi- cal, an avowed direct actionist, ? an editorial associate with anarch- ists in publication called "The Blast" an anti-war agitator pre- viously suspected of dynamiting in connection with a power strike.
 He was arrested, and with him his wife Rena, Warren K. Billings, Edward Nolan, and Israel Vein berg.
 Billings was an associate and a convicted dynamiter.
 Nolan was an officer of the machinistS' union.
 Weinberg was taxi driver.
 All were charged with murder. Billings was tried first, and sentenced to Folsom Prison for life. Mrs. Mooney and Weinberg were acquitted. Nolan was re- leased without trial.

Temper arily infatuated with him, she for gets her younger boy friend" and her childish playmates until 1t is brought home to her that she is still child, and that romantic love has no place in her life.

SOCIALISTS MAY | DROP PARTY TAG
McLevy Agreeable to Any Change Suggested By
 CO=WOrkers
(SpeciaI to The Dernocrat)

Romfdrd, Nov. 14.-There will be no Socialist party, so far as the label is concerned, if plans made here yestreday at the home of Mayor Josper McLevy, of Bridgeport, ma- terialize.
 A conference of Socialist leaders was held at which advisability of dropping the label, Socialist" was discussed with Al. G. Kamm Hart ford town chairman and state direc- tor of Mayor McLevy's recent cana- paign for the governorship, predicted that the change vii, become effec- tive before the next election. Sentiment for some time in So- cialist ranks has been that the label, Socialist" has lost votes for the tickets presented. But some of the party have expressed belief that to change the label now would be sacri- lege, in the light of the many years it has stood as the party letterhead,
 Mayor McLevy is said to have agreed to abide by decision Of his coworkers in the party. A meeting will be held Thursday with Martin F. Plunkett, secretary, at Walling- ford when the question of change of label will be discussed.
 Meanwhile, plans for testimonial to the Socialist candidate find the date set for November 28 at Hotel Bond, Hartford. John w. Ring of Waterbury, candidate for congress man from the 5th district, is the member of the committee from the Waterbury section.

Judgements showed the time by the clock to be as late as 2:04 making it impossible for Mooney to have left the internal machine at the scene. The prosecution charged the, photos were re- touched to show the time.
 The witnesses who claimed to have seen Mooney on the spot carried the most weight. He was convicted, sentenced to hang, and for 19 months he sat in the sha- dow of the gallows.
 Then Oxman's testimony was thoroughly discredited by a new revelation that he had tried to get a friend to come and give false testimony in the case. He was later tried for perjury, ac- quilted, and is now dead. Testi- mony of Sadie Edeau and her daughter that they saw Mooney on the scene was completed dis credited also. In 1921 Mcdonald admitted that his whole testi- mony had been lie.
 FREEDOM
 IN SIGHT?
 Friends and associates of Mooney liberals convinced that injustice had been done, and radicals who found the Mooney case a convenient peg for propaganda, all worked un- ceasingly for Moneys freedom.
 Trial Judge Griffin, all the liv. ing jurors, Duncan Mathewson police captain on duty at the scene of the blast, two federal investigatory commissions, and many others connected with the case long ago aligned themselves on. the side of pardon.
 Even Charles Fickert, Moon- ey's prosecutor, came to believe that clemency was in order.
 Mooney, a model and popular prisoner, has ably conducted from within the prison his own cam paign for freedom. Now the first friendly governor in the 21 years of his imprisonment may give that freedom to him.
