pleased with the remarks of the speak
ers at the rally Wednesday night. Mr.
Cary's reference to the labor men,
whom he was pleased to have with
him, was received with great ap-
plause, but no more so than what was
said by Mr. Cummings and Mr. Car
mack regarding the insolent attitude
of the coal barons towards the head
of the nation, which was in marked
contrast with that of John Mitchell,
who represented the miners and who
was willing to do anything the presi-
dent thought was right. ST think"
said republican after the meeting,
shat the democrats have all the ar
gument on their side this time. see
our fellows are deyoting all their time
to making apologies for their past rec
ord and promising to do better in the
future. I'm afraid the people won't
stand for that. The trust question
has to be settled. and as was stated it
is unreasonable to expect that the re-
publican party will ADJUST matters
In the interest of the people. The re-
mark that if Roosevelt don't support
the trusts he won't be the next candi-
date for president on the republican
ticket was a home stroke and honest
republicans who were there must
have recognized the weight of it. For
the first time since I was a boy I find
manufacturers and others who have
large interests at stake wayering in
their faith in the republican party
and admitting that for the present at
least they believe that the best inter-
ests of all the people demand a
change. When these men get
alarmed there must be something
wrong. The republican managers
tried to enlist the cooperation of the
factories this fall. but they refused to
have anything to do with them This
coal strike and the high prices of 9TH
er things scared the whole of them'
William r. Moody, secretary Of the
navy and the Honorable Joseph Bar
bour of Hartford will speak for the
republicans in Polls theater next Mon
day night The republicans want to do
something to Offset the influence the
democratic rally of Thursday night
had on the public mind and think a
few of Joe Barbour's jokes may have
a soothing effect on themselves and
others.
r. j. McKerness Of New Haven was

Senator Hawley and ex-Lieutenant

This evening the republican town
convention will nominate represents
yves. These are the last of the nom
nations to be made, and then both
parties will be fully in the field. For
some reasons unknown to themselves
the republicans this year have been
extremely slow in getting on their
spurs. They are said to be alarmed
over the apathy which Senator Dill
Hngnam spoke SO much on Tuesday
night in the city hall. There is some
thing evidently the matter with the
republicans. They have either the
tooth ache or the vote ache.
Colonel Osborn In the New Hayer
Register has made a most vigorous
protest against the proposal there te

1t is bitter medicine for the Hartfor,
