most favorable circumstances. Chairman

which were listened to attentively and fire.
quently applauded. At the close of the
speeoh-making about one hundred ex-
pressed their willingness to join the club.
The following officers were elected: a.
Lindblade, editor of the Connecticut
Swedish Post, president; Carl Brandt, John
Enberg and g. Il. Rose, vice presidents;
Carl Ronberg, secretary; P. N. Peterson,
treasurer. The next meeting will be held
two weeks from Monday night. g. q.
Rose introduced the speakers.
Mr.. Bishop commended the Swedes for
their work done for the republican party
in the last eight years especially. He
spoke OF the benefcent re cord of the repub-
lican party, the national banking system
and set forth the fallacy of the democratic
claim that Morris was elected. All signs
pointed to big republican vote at the COM
ing election. Mr.. Bishops speech was
heartily applauded. In conclusion he
said:

it may assume the right to disfranohise al

| Mr.. Sperry made his arguments for thu
tariff simple and lucid and very convinc

said, the difference between the wages il
this country and in Europe. Now. tn
tariff maintains the difference in the wager
here and in Europe. If there were two
factories standing side by side and on,

and the other 50 and each competing freel,
and equally in the markets Of the world
how long could the factory paying 50 (
day to each employe live?
The democrats say that the tariff on tn
