 And Nehemiah Sperry for congressman
 we slate.''
 The applause was hearty and the club responded to another selection.
 Chairman Cable introduced as the first speaker Hon. John H. Light, may or of South Norwalk. Mayor Light said in part:
 We all have the same interests and love our old commonwealth. We meet here after two years to take sort of inventory and see if we had better keep on in the same way. We are all citizens of this old commonwealth and all should have enough interest to give it the very best government possible. love my home, my family and my sur roundings. We should love our coun- try, it's soil, it's churches and all it's in- stitutions. It is the best and most pro- gressive country in the world Along these lines I address you tonight
 Some take their politics as they do their religion. Many are of a particu- lar party because their fathers were of that faith. The country belongs to republicans and democrats; but the party which represents the best prin- ciples, that is the party that you want to rule here. Policies are to be con- sidered. I advocate the principles of the republican party because believe them right and for the enrichment of the people, Our candidate for gover- nor, Hon. George B. Lounsbury, is republican and the best man whom we believed was available Tor the position. We are all sovereigns in this country, and all equal. We like a man who rep resents this brotherhood. George E. Lounsbury is such man. Tn 1884 we had a great matters strike in Norwalk. Those were hard times. There was an attempt to get up sympathetic strike and some of the leaders urged an attempt to get up strike in the shoe factory of which MT. Lounsbury was one of the firm. One of the men said that an attempt to get up a strike in that factory would fail. MT Louns- bury treated the men SO well that they all respected him.
 "Our candidate is charitable, but he never makes known his gifts. He pre- pared for the ministry, but was oblig- ed to give up his calling and go into business But he was so conscious and felt that it was his duty to go into the ministry that he has been supporting clergyman and paying his salary right alnog.
 "He is a capable man; man of abil- ity, and scholar. I have never known a man so we'll posted on the legislation of this state as George E. Lounsbury. I think you will vote for him on &C., count of his personal qualities and be- cause he represents republican prin- ciples. You will remember that under the present state campaign the ex- penses have been reduced $600,000. The democrats in their legislation have done much to increase and augment the expenses. MT. Lounsbury's asso- ciates on the ticket are all worthy and good men. In this election we are to send four men to congress. We are to send your townsmen, MT. Sperry. (Applause). I know MT. Webb and re- spect him very much, but if he had the brain of a Lord Bacon he could not do much in Washington. He would not cut much of a figure at Washington advocating the gold standard. A party that can't live on other than scandal ought to die. We want something that has been tried.
 we find that Jefferson was pat riot in some respects, but he has been dead many years. Jefferson wanted to strike an average on the values of money, but that wouldn't do in this country. In the whole history of the party for twenty-five years nothing ap- preaching this has ever been promul- gated. We don't care to go back to Genesis. The principles of the demo- cratic party have not changed. They are the same Every enactment of the democratic party since Jefferson down which have been for the benefit of the people has been an act directly in op- position to the principles of the party. They enacted the Wilson bill and struck at our prosperity. We have been growing rich at the rate of S7,000,000 a day and why should we not continue in the present policy. Let us throw the doors open and invite all good emi- grants to come to this country. There is room enough for all We have plenty of territory. We need to obtain the markets of the world so as to sell all our goods. We manufacture one quar- ter of the products of the world. Let us follow the flag everywhere. (Ap- plause).
