The first issue of the Morning Call appeared on the street at an early hour this morning. It was about the size of a porous plaster and sparkling in “origi- nal” election news. Its forty-eight column father is announced to appear within a few days. A local morning paper is what the publishers claim to think is one of Norwalk’s leading necessities. The initial bow of the youngster was a clever one and indicates that future numbers, when published will be of interest to the public. A“ The Bright Side. “While there is life there is hope.” Never was a truer maxim written or spoken than this. But with the sick not only is there hope but there is the chance of restoration to health. Many men and women just at death’s door, as one may say, have found themselves on the road to recovery by consulting Dr. Greene, 35 West 14th St., New York City, the noted and eminent specialist who is so successful in curing disease. Many of Dr. Greene’s cures are truly marvelous. You can consult'him by letter, free. No expense whatever. Whatever your trouble is he can cure ' histamine. ' Norwalk’s Town Meeting Was Illegally Called. Judge Wheeler Denies the Motion to Die- solve the lnjunction Against the Town. Judge G. W. Wheeler of the Superi- or court'handed down a decision' Tues- day denying the motion to dissolve the injunction brought by Joseph A. Gray against Ephraim Themes and others, selectmen of the town of Norwalk. The case was heard a week ago by Judge Wheeler. Attorney Joseph A. restraining the town of Norwalk from selling bonds to the amount of $300,000 to Farson, Leach & 00., New York bankers. The selectmen awarded them the bonds because they were the high- est bidders, but after the award was made, Mr. Gray, in the interest of Harris & Co. of New York, offered $300 more than Farson, Leach &. Co. Mr. Gray, in the injunction proceed- ings, made the claim that the warning for the town meeting at which the town voted to issue $300,000 bonds were defective, and that the call was not . signed by the selectmen as required by law. The names of the selectmen were printed upon the call, they having or- dered the clerk to issue it. ' J ridge Wheeler’s memorandum occu- pi a dozen type-written pages. He diSeusses the matter of the warning, and concludgs that it was within the power of the town meeting to have rec- tified any error made but not having dOne so, the court ought not to inter- fere in-the judgment of that meeting. As to the selling of public bonds, he holds that they should be disposed of to the highest bidder, and no discretion given public officials. As to the signature of the call, the court finds that it was clearly illegal. Thelaw plainly says that the select- men shall sign the call. He holds that theyfcannot delegate this power to anooher, as was done in this case. For ‘7 this reason he denies the motion of Attorney Warner, counsel for the town, for a dissolution of the injunction. In referring to the bond issuing‘feat- ure of the case Judge Wheeler avails himself of an opportunity to admonish public servants that it is clearly their duty to guard well the interests of the community which they represent. He says officials are not to disregard bus- iness principles in these matters even if the people have put implicit faith in them. He says further: “Sound public finance demanded that ’these bonds should be sold to the highest bidder and that their sale should not be left to the discretion of public officials who might sell to some favored banker at less than the market price of the bendsfi’ The decision will compel the select- men of Norwalk to call another meet- ing and do the business all over again. —-—-———‘0.0>-—-% The Gazette Wonders.

Connecticut Rolls Up a Big Republican Majority and Elects Four Con- gressmen. 1 Light Elected Representative, But Hurl- butt Defeated by Osborn Through Treachery. George E. Lounsbury of Ridgefield, the Republican candidate for governor, was elected yesterday by a plurality of 16,440 over his opponent, Daniel N. Morgan. All four Republican congress- man were re-elected. All of the Republican candidates ‘for sheriff were chosen. The legislature is largely Republi- can, the Senate standing 20 Republi- cans and 4 Democrats. The House will be divided politically as follows: Republicans, 193; Demo- crats, 75. This means a Republican loss of 25 and a Democratic gain of 46. Additional representation of growing towns has increased the number of house members by 16. The only black spot in the state is here in Norwalk, where Mr. J. Belden Hurlbutt, the Republican candidate for representative, was defeated by cowardly and dirty work. V Vote in Norwalk.
