Despite the fact that yesterdays Re-
publican rally was held at the New
Haven theater at 2 o'clock in the af-
ternoon there was a good attendance,
| the body of the house and the first gal
llery being filled with people. The prin-
lcipal speaker of the occasion was Con-
gresham Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois,
speaker of the national house of repre-
sentatives. 1t was thought by the re-
/ publican leaders that owing to the fact
j that the meeting was held in the after
moon that it would not be as largely
attended as thought it was held in the
evening. They were most agreeably
surprised at the size of the audience,
which included some of New Ravens
most representative citizens and also a
large number of ladies.
/ The theater was handsomely deco
rated with American flags and banners
and the Second Regiment band furn-
fished musical programme.
4 Postmaster James A. Howarth pre-
isided at the meeting and as he and
Speaker Cannon came on the stage the
ban dplayed Hail to the Chief" The
audience took the cue and applauded
I vigorously. The applause lasted for a
minute or more and was renewed when
Speaker Cannon arose to speak.
The meeting was called to order by
Chairman Theodore H. Macdonald of
the republican town committee. After
being introduced Mr.. Howarth said his
presence as chairman was unexpected,
las Congressman Sperry had been chos-
len for the position, but was presented
from filling it through illness. In pre-
senting Speaker Cannon he said he was
familiar with the issues of the day and
mo one was better qualified to discuss
them.
In prefacing his address Speaker
Cannon said he had heard of New Ha-
ven frequently through commercial
travellers who sell goods made in this
Icity. He said he wished to have a con-
Isultation with his audience and would
mot make an effort to make a speech.
However, he said he would present
nothing but facts, He had found that
the minds Of the voters were better
made up in New Haven than in other
places he had visited.
Speaker Cannon's speech was inter-
lrupted by applause frequently
Uncle "Joe's" address was character
istieally strong and interesting, the
speaker using a number of humorous
stories to illustrate his remarks.
In referring to democratic methods
the speaker said ION the suggestion Of
Hill German and Taggert, Parker
changes the record. Mckinley is dead.
He quotes McKinley,s last speech,
emitting a portion of McKinley's SEN
fences, making Mckinley say directly
the opposite of that which he did say
touching reciprocity.
In other words, by garbling and
Ichangins' they make a record against
the dead president and statesman that
lis false, AS to the Panama canal, they
suppress the facts and seek to condemn
Theodore Roosevelt where the facts do
mot condemn him, and this, too, where
by their own action, even If their accu-
sations against Roosevelt as to the
larceny Of the Panama route were true
they participate in the larceny and APP
Y prove Of it by receiving the stolen
goods.
