A NEW BRIDGE NEEDED. . The movement to bring about a inew,Washington street bridge, to re- place the present delapidaied and worn out structure, is moving along , handsomely, and there is every reason ‘to believe the project has an excellent , chance for success. That a new bridge is needed is conceded, and thought’ul citizens and tax payers are openly ex- pressing the opinion that, outside of the obvious benefit that would imme- diately result, it would be a paying investment. As near as can be learn- ed, the cost of maintaining the bridge at the present time is in the neighbor hood of 85,000 a year. So far this year 33,000 has been appropriated by the . town board of estimate and taxation. .- but this amount, the seiectmen say, 1.‘ . is insufficient. Not one particle of r, permanent, and a little of temporary “ benefit has been derived from the ex- penditure of the money that has been ‘Iaid out for repairs. The repairs are of the most temporary and shiftless nature, owing to the l'Othfit‘SS of the structure. Patchwork planking is nailed to rotten supporting beams, and but a little time elapses before the work has to be all done over again. No definite figure can be relied upon “representing the probable cost of keeping the bridge in usable shape. For instance, two or three years ago, $7,500 was laid out in an effort to bolster it up and keep it from actually failing to pieces, but it was but a short time before still more repairs followed. The draw itself was erected twenty-five years ago, and at that time was adequate for the needs of the day; but the town has grown since that time, and the bridge's abil. ity' to meet this condition has decreas- . ed ,in corresponding ratio, until it is i now entirely too narrow and weak to , meet the‘ demands of the traffic. it is predicted that should a new draw not be built, the old one will have to be entirely rebuilt within a short time, and should this course, be resort. ed to, the town would be. no better off than it was 25 years ago, for certain- ly the old draw could not be rebuilt in . , such a manner as to meet the increas- : addemands on it. That a new sub- stantial bridge would be the greatest impetus to growth that East Norwaik has ever had there is no doubt. East ’ -Norwalk has been steadily growing 1 as a residential centcr, even with the i, great. handicap of the present bridge, “and with a new structure it would go , ahead as it should and become very ‘ more much desirable for residential and business purposes. viIEIIICRIIS 'NflIIIIIII . RflBIRISIII (continued From First Page). seated the following platform through Homer S. Cummings: We. the representatives of the Dem ;. ocratic party of the state of Connecti- ‘ cut, in convention assembled, do here- ' by re-afiirm our allegiance to the ' cause of Democracy, ratify the, nom- ination of William J. Bryan and John W. Kern, for president and vice-presi- ‘ dent of the,Unlted States, and en- dorse the declaration of principles adopted at Denver by the Democratic national convention. the condition of civic affairs in‘ ConJ nectlcut. The dominance of the arro- gant political machine, which for years has controlled the Republican party : of Connecticut, has produced a condi- on in our beloved state which is a ». atter‘of grave concern to all good ,‘cltlbens. We have witnessed the grad. ‘ual lowering of public standards, the . perceptible decrease of influence of "(intimate in the councils of the nation, ‘ . soothe growing. importance of an in- ferior type of men who have reached eminence in the course of its destiny. 30 lost to all sense of political pro- , priety and civic decency has the Re— publican machine become, that it has forced upon a reluctant party the nomination of George L Lilley. Mr. Lilley's public record, while in Con- gress. was such that he received the emphatic condemnation of that body. a ‘1.--We direct special attention to‘ records of Congress. and in public do- bates and public suitenionts upon the ‘ adoption of that report,'his own party associates characterised him as insin- cere, untruthfui, malicious, despicable. reckless, the inspirer of anonymous letters actuated by bad faith, a violai tor of his obligations as a member of the house, an urger of groundless charges against his fellow-members. and as unfit for membership in the Congress of the United States. Congressman Janice Schoolcrsft Shaman, the Republican candidate for vice-president of the United States. was an active party to these proceed: lugs and the Republicans of Connecti cut cannot with consistency vote for both Sherman and Lilley. Many prom- inent Republicans realize the signifi- cance of this situation. if Mr. Lilley is not fit to be a member of Congress, he is not fit to be governor of the state of Connecticut. A committee representing thetie independent Repub- licans protested against this insulting nomination, and for their pains and patriotism were driven by the machine leaders from the councils of the party, with brutal words of derision and con- tempt. We proclalm that the repudiav tion of George in. Lilley, the dostruc» tion of machine politics. and the res- one of our state from the builds of the political pirates who have seized control of its management is the su- preme and overshadowing issue of this campaign. It, is the plain duty of all good citizens, irrespoctlvo of party, to demonstrate at the polls, that tip-- governorsliip of the state of Connocti cut cannot be. bartcred away, and that its good name cannot be sullied with impunity. The reforms urged by (lov- ernor Woodruff were enthusiastically endorsed by the Republican conven- tion and praised in the platform; but the repudiation of the candidate» whose policies were thus praised, imparts a sinister significance to the omin- transaction. 2—Wc call attention to the scans city for retrenchment and reform in all of the departments of our stoic gov- ernment. So far have the leaders of the Republican machine become wean- ed from the principles of represents tivc government that tyrannical mid revolutionary charter amendments have been forced upon cities and bor- oughs without the consent and often against the protests of the people to be governed under them. We express our faith in the Democratic doctrine of rome rule. We recommend a sys tem of uniform city charters, leaving. however, as many details of municipal government as possible. to the deter- mination of the connnunitics to be af. fected thereby. and as supplementary thereto we give our endorsement to the policy known as the referendum. 3——-We favor that system “of party nominations known as the direct pri- mary and We urge the necessity of taking such legislative actionhs shall make the. secret ballot absolutely sc- crct, and We also favor such legisla- tion as shall make it obligatory upon the state government to furnish, at its own expense, ofilcial ballots bearing the names of regularly nominated can- didates. We favor ihe publication of a daily stcnographic report of the pro- ceedings of the general assembly, thereby offering to the people at Iargc an adequate record of the attitude and ability of their chosen representatives. 4~We urge the passage of an em- ployars' liability act similar to that in force in the state of New York. 5—We denounCe the granting of public franchises without adequate compensation and protection to the people of our state. We condemn gov- ernment by commissions and all the evils incidcnt to that form of govern- mental perversion. 6—~We demand the enactment of an effective law prohibiting, under heavy penalties, all corporate interference with tell legislature by means of cam- paign contribution, or appointments to oce, and we favor the passage of a law requiring the political parties of Connecticut. both prior to and after election, the names of all contribution. 7—We favor a constitutional amend inent requiring a two~thirds‘ vote of the general assembly to pass any measure over the veto of the. governor. 8-——\\'e recommend that the present law which limits the amount recover- able on the negligence cases resulting in death to the sum of five thousand ($5,000) dollars, be repealed. 9—-lu the interest of public economy We contend that all contracts for pub lic supplies should be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder from the cit- izens of the state seeking the work. iii-We maintain the right of every Reaping Benefit. From the Experience of South Nor- walk People. We are fortunate indeed to be able to profit by the experience of our neighbors. The public utterances of South Norwalk residents on the fol- lowing subject will interest and benefit thousands of our readers. Read. this lstatement. No better proof can be ad. Mrs. S. A. Brown, of 39 Franklin St, South Norwalk, Conn.. says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are the best kid- ney remedy I ever used and I can not say too much in their praise. I suffer- ed for two years from pains across my back and between my shoulders. If I sat in a chair for any length of time, I could only get up by putting my hands to my hips and gradually rising. I had headaches and was rest- less at night, as it was hard to find a comfortable position in which to lay. Hearing good reports of Dean’s Kid- ney Pills, I thought they might help me. and sent to Pialsted's drug store for them. I had only taken a‘ few doses, when I commenced to feel bet- ter, and I continued,their use until the pain left my back and I no longer felt stiffer lame. I have recommegd- ed Dean's Kidney Pills to scores of people and many thanked me for so doing, having received immediate re- lief from their use.’ For sale by all dealers. Price 60 cents.

Mr. Cummings said it was a usable mous report. "another evidence of the unanimity of Democrats throughout the country." Bryan's name was cheered. The platform was adopted by ris- ing vote, no opposition being 909“. The presidential electors were then selected. as folIOWs: Iiurtfoi'd county, Louis Schmidt, of Southington; New Haven county, Samuel Ii. Bronson, of New Haven; New London county, Try- on E. Robertson, of Montvilio; Fair- llold county, hlelbcrt ii. Cary, of Ridge- ileld; l.ltchficid county, li‘. M. Chaplu, of New Hartford; Middlescx county. George Imonard. of Middle-town; Winds ham and ’l‘olland counties, Oscar O. Tanner, of Willlmaniic. When Chairman Sullivan called for nominations for the state ticket there was a long silence. There came the call “Waller." He took the plaifonn with the introduction as the “only real wur horse of Democracy hero in day." ' . Mr. Waller said that he was present to tell the convention that be was so old a war horse that he was out of office forever. but that he was not out of politics. “I believed in party or- ganization," he said, "and that it has the right to select candidates and platforms. but it the duty of a. Repub- lican if his party puts in nomination a man he believes to be unfit. to be a kicker and a courageous and upright voter. I believe that what I have said is just as applicable to our party as to the other. ‘ "While the national platform may contain planks over which some may differ,‘the platform of 1908 might have been written by Thomas Jefferson or Andrew Jackson. It Is strong and broad enough for any Democrat or anyone who hopes to be. “In a presidential year men are very apt. to forget state issues. This year you can do two things—elect a presi~ dent and a governor. Never did the Democrats of Connecticut have such a chance. “Assuming that everything Lilley says is true. no one, not even Lilley. should vote the Republican national ticket. Do you think I would vote for a vice-president it four months before in Congress he said to me, ‘You are not fit to be a member of Congress. You are a malignant and a pcrjurer'? Will he ask the. people to vote for the man who maligned him? “Lilley himself yesterday said that the Electric Boat Company was mak- ing 100 per cent. profit. This is enough to show the graft in Republican Con— gress. , “I have come here because the pros- pect is so bright that friends of differ- ent candidates are so sanguine that I have come to fix it up. A compromise has been fixed up. The strongest man . in the state u"... T: ' Chairman Sullivan's attack on ~- ,. 'I put In nomination and ask or the unanimous approval of A. Heat 1 Rob- erton, of New Haven." (Cheers). David E. FitzGeraid, of New Haven, seconded the nomination. Senator Jeremiah Donovan made a vigorous speech on the public utility question. pointing out what he claimed was the absolute domination of a rail- road corporation over the state. The audience gut restless and finally it would not let him proceed. The chair; rapped for order. The speaker took the “Republican machine" and the attack on the railroad commissioner as his text. After a point of order had twice been raised Senator Donovan present ed Mr. Cummings' name as an unpre- judiced juror in pass upon these state conditions. (Cheers). Mr. Cummings said be appreciated what Senator Donovan had said more than he could say, but be had come in the lutcrest of Archibald McNeil. who, having put party ahead of per- sonal lntcrcst, had retired in favor of Mr. Robertson. Mr. Cummings made a plea for harmony and seconded the nomination of Mr. Robertson. The nomination was made by accla- matlon with very few dissenting voices. Recess until 2 o’clock. when .ludgo Robertson could reach the convention hall. was then taken.
