Second District
In Circular Sent To Voters
Flay Mayor
Warm Language to Men
Who Will Take Part
in the Primaries To-
. night. x .
One of the hottest primary battles
in years is expected in the Second
District Republican primary tonight
where keen opposition to Mayor Wil
son has developed and an effort will
be made to oust him and his support
ers. The police have been asked to
have men on hand to handle any sit
uation, according to some of the lead
ers in the opposition.
Today every voter on the primary
list received a circular letter signed
by Charles R. Crowther, David J.
O'Brien and William C. Imlahyjaf, the
opposition in which they say :' "V"' "
"We- ask your support at the pri
mary for the benefit of the City of
Bridgeport, and not for the benefit
of any one person or a few individuals
who place the City's interests second
to their own.
"We are not in favor of present of
fice holders in the City Hall, because
of their reckless expenditure of the
City's funds,, and their utter disregard
in providing schoolrooms for our
school children.
"They can find funds to take down
the bridge at Steeplechase Island on
a cost plus basis; it has now cost the
city more to tear down that bridge
than It originally cost to build it.
Better give it to the junk man or let
him take it away for nothing.
They attempted to cut through
Broad street, but owing to the poor
financial condition of our city, the
banks refused to buy the City's bonds
to ibe used for such a purpose. The
crowd in City hall now recommend
doing aT" portion of the work, so that
the options on the property that
would have to be purchased by the
City for the Broad street extension
could still ibe held by the City hall
crowd and disposed of to the City at
a profit.
They cannot build school houses.
but they can find money to pay the
Burns men, who were irruported Into
our city, to advertise, them and dis
grace our police force, but our police
force was, In the end, vindicated and
showed that they had done their duty.
Tour vote in the iprimary Is neces
sary to "begin to rid the City of a lique
which is -doing the City, more harm
than good. It is not the Republican
administration any longer, it is just a
clique operating for the benefit of a
few individuals.
The (beginning of all politics is at
the primary; you owe it to your City
to vote at the primary; you owe It to
yourself as a man to exercise the
privilege which is yours. ,

BUSINESS
SLOWING
DOWN NOW
Edward S. Wolf e," President
of First National Bank
Discusses Conditions With
The Times. '
""Yes, business is slowing down. In
some lines much more than in others.
Many manufacturers are short on
orders. This is due to the fact that
you and I and everyone else has
slowed up on buying for the reason
that it has come to be very generally
believed that it will be possible to
buy what we want much cheaper in
two or three months. This of course
tends at once to slow up manufacture
for the manufacturer is not so far
from the consumer as most people
imagine."
Edmund S. Wolfe, president of the
First Bridgeport National Bank had
interrupted his work to see a Times
man and answer his query concern
ing present and future business con
ditions. ,
"If the people stop buying from
the retailer," he continued, "the re
tailer must of - course stop buying
from the jobber and the jobber in
turn from the manufacturer. The
manufacturer with no orders must
shut down his plant. This causes a
surplusage of labor. These condi
tions bring a drop in prices which
starts people, buying again, and as
soon as the buying commences man
ufacturing starts up once more. You
see these things move around in an
economic oircle which tends to re
adjust itself and put things right
again."
"Would you say that we are just
starting in to move around this cir
cle?" the Times man asked.
"No I would say that we were al
ready very far around it and that
when it is complete . and business

SHUT DOWN MAY
CAUSE MILK FAMINE
VPlainfield, Conn., Aug, 20. If the
Providence and Danielson trolley line
ceases operation next month, as is an
nounced, 3,500 quarts of milk daily
sent from towns between ' Danielson
and Providence to the latter eity will
be cut off. On September 16 the
Westerly and Norwich line 'will prob
aibiy cut off 3,760 quarts daily.'
. Milk producers are trying to settle .
on a plan to do marketing direct by
means of motor trucks, establishing a
central station in Providence for dis
tribution, and avoiding the sending of
milk by railroad. The middle men
would also - be eliminated and .the
puiblic would get milk at lower rate
by purchasing dinect f rtanv the produc
ers. If the experiment-can be made
successful in- Providence the aim
would toe to introduce 'the rae plan
into Boston.
HERE Dfiriiic flf Qtatp
Bridgeport
Will; Be
Registrars
Unable To
Handle the Great Rush
of Women Gov. Hol
comb Says He Hasn't
Decided on Extra Ses-
sion.
Bridgeport will be unable to make
2 3,000 or more women voters in the
seven days designated- October 8 to
1 5 because those women who want
"to be made" as well as some .men
will not all appear before the select
men at the proper time, according to
members of the Board of Registrars.
If the ones to be made would keep
the selectmen busy from 9 a. m. to
8 p. m. on the seven days there might
be a chance to completing the job,
but such has never happened and in
the opinion of the registrars it never
will.
Since yesterday more than a dozen
women had filed applications to be
made "voters for the November elec
tion and the registrars expect there
will le a ruf-h of women within a
short time. So far, the women who
: will be entitled to vote aire not sure
that the privilege will be given thm
and for that reason are holding back,
but the registrars believe when the
matter is settled that they will be
entitled to vote then there will be a
long list of applications filed.
The registrars believe that some
thing sriould be done to remedy this
situation before hundreds of persons
who will want to vote are turned
away without being made- voters and
the time to do anything of "this kind
will be before October 8th when the
selectmen will hold their opening
session.
While it is probable that many
thousands of the women will not be
made enough will apply to make the
work of the board impossible.
Holcomb Still Considering
... Hartford.u Conn.,' Aug. 20 'Til be
mighty glad when the whole question
is cleared up." This- was the state
ment of Governor Holcomb today re
garding the suffrage situation. The
governor, who is spending a few days
at the Holcomb homestead in New
Hartford, would not commit himself
on the question of whether or not he
would call a special session . for' the
purpose of changing the state laws so
that the enrollment of Connecticut
women as voters would be facilitated.
In his first statement on suffrage
sirtce ratification by the Tennessee
legislature, Governor Holcomb said:
"Everything will be done that is
found to be necessary to allow women
to vote." "
It was pointed out to the governor
that the Hartford registrars of voters
as well as those of other cities and
towns had said that the one week in
October allowed by law would not be
sufficient for the enrollment of the
theusands of women voters as well as
the hundreds of men who will want
their names on the voting lists. "I
cannot say anything about that until
I have given it more consideration,"
was the governor s comment.
SONG FROM CELL
INTERRUPTS COURT
Hyman Schneider of 186 Wheeler
avenue failed to put in an appearance
in the City Court this morning to
a.nswer vto a charge of being drunk
and forVeiled bonds of $15. An
amusing incident in connection . with
the case happened in the court while
the clerk was doling out the thrice
uttered cry of "Hyman Schneider ap
pear in court to save yourself from
bail." From the depths of one of
the cells in the rear of the court room
came the sound of a whiskey tenor
warbling an Irish air. Thinking that
it was Schneider Officer Tom Gerrity
rushed to the cell but found the
singer was not the man wanted at
that particular ' moment. The singer
was hushed up and the court went
