 Senator George E. Lounsbury, the re- | publican candidate for governor, was
 next introduced. He was cheered to
 the echo as he rose to speak. Senator Lounsbury spoke in substance as fol- | lows:
 | II have been asked to speak here to- | day because I was so little known.
 have never set myself up as a states
 man, but I have done enough work in | the senate so that any well informed
 citizen may know who I am If any
 one asks me to vote for him want to | know something of his religion.
 Il am neither a machine man nor am | l an anti-machine man, but l believe | in organization and I believe in inde- | pendence. A wise man mows his rough | land by hand, but he mows the smooth | ground with a machine; but he rides the machine and does not allow the ma chine to ride him."
 Senator Lounsbury referred to the | record of Governor Cooke and his eco- | nomical administration, saying that as
 soon as the people understood what had
 been saved the success of the republi-
 can party was assured.
 He spoke of the advantages of the | good roads work connecting one town with another, making them passable | for wheelmen, farmers and men of | leisure He closed by inviting all who
 were present to attend the inaugura- | tion in January and hear what the gov l ernor has to say about good roads. The next speaker was United States Senator Joseph R. Hawley, who was
 also applauded as he rose to speak. He
 referred to the sound political princi-
 ples of Senator Lounsbury and said
 that no apology was necessary for the
 present state administration. He call-
 ed attention to the immense revenue l which had been received from the Ding | ley tariff and of the immense gain of
 the export trade over the import. He
 said that everything was going on | opIcllululy WIIS1l lIlG WdI ClUuu SuuuGn-
 ly appeared. Continuing, he said: This
 war with Spain was not one, thank
 God, caused by revenge or by efforts to
 gain territory You remember how in- dignant we were when the European
 nations permitted outrages upon Arme- nians. The conditions in Cuba were | very similar to those in Armenia. The l time had come when civilization of the
 world ought to have said to Spain, Go l home;' and she did, or at least we are
 now taking Spaniards there by ship l loads. Now the question is, What shall we do with what we have? I see to- l day that many of you are saying, Keep | it. l don't know whether we can or not. The time may come when we may | be compelled to take charge of the isl- | and of Cuba and keep the peace by | force The American people never un- | dertook a task which they did not ulti-
 mately carry out. We have risen im-
 mensely in the estimation of the world | since the war began. Some of our | friends are very much exercised over | imperialism or extension of territory | We have right to provide ourselves | with proper stations for carrying on war on a large scale if we see fit. We
 can annex, we can conquer To that 1 extent I am an imperia1ist. There is nothing any other nation can do that l we cannot do I have absolute and su-
 preme confidence in the government of
 the United States. (Applause)
 | United States Senator Platt was the
 next speaker and delivered most able
 address, being introduced as "The Abe l .inon1r If Cn,orao{io,f
 with prolonged cheering. Senator
 Platts speech in full was as follows: l SENATOR PLATES SPEECH. | MT. President and Connecticut Re- publicans: The time limited for
 speeches permits only the most rapid glance at the political situation. It is
 good on this day of bright sun and clear
 sky for republicans to meet and look
 into each others eyes. The republi-
 cans sun indeed, shines brightly, no
 cloud threatens the republican sky, and
 we may well congratulate ourselves on
 the wisdom of our nominees, and the
 strength of our ticket, and the prospect
 of assured success.
 | When our candidate for governor was notified of, and accepted his nomina- | tion, he made reference to the saving of a wise man: "There is a time for
 everything" The democrats who con-
 trolled the Bridgeport convention seem | to have taken this proverb literally and
 to have supposed that the present is the | time for petty contention and cunning politics. They are terribly mistaken l Providence has given republican insti- | tutions new birth; Providence has | laid upon the people of this republic great obligations, and called them to | the performance of high and noble du- l ties. Providence has widened the area
 of free government and calls upon the statesman and citizen alike to bend all
 energies to the solution of the great
 problem that lies before them; prob | lens we did not seek, but which under | Providence we must solve; problems 1 the solution of which will affect the history of the world and the destiny of | mankind In such crisis, the demo- crats of Connecticut can find no higher purpose of duty than to secure party harmony, even to use the words of one of their leaders: "If they have to fight | for it." And what a harmony fight that was at Bridgeport Hast week?
