of New York on this account. The mayor mentioned the part taken by Congressman sperry in this good work of the president, At the mention of the name of the congressman the audience broke forth into applause
 Mayor studley then introduced Unit ed States Senator Frank Brandegee, of New London. Senator Brandegee said, in part: If the statutes did not re- quire an election to be held next Tues day there would be no demand for one on the part of the people. The great desire in the hearts of the American people is to endorse the administration of President Roosevelt. Every one knows that We were never so prosper ous as now. The demand for labor was never so great and there is no man who is willing to work that is without Work. Many of the railroads and even the farmers of the country find ditt1culty in finding sufficient help.
 There is no reason why those who voted the republican ticket two years ago should not do so this year. For my own part I am but httle moVeo by the cry of apathy The people are quiet from contentment and not rom apathy. I did not come here to make any long speech to you, but to show my interest in the campaign to elect that New Haven man of high morals, who heads the republican ticket this year, Rolhn s. Woodruff (Applause). l want you to send back to Washington George L. Lilley of Waterbury and that venerable patriot and war horse Congressman N. D. Sperry (Applause). New England exercises an influence out of all proportion to her population in Washington, because the people keep a good man there when he gets there, and he rises until he becomes the chairman of important committees. It is conced- ed that the next house of representa- tives will be republican. What could a democrat do if elected?"
 'The republican party believes in gl- ing about reform in a safe and sane way Ninety per cent, of the business Of the country Is done by corporations Corporations are necessary, but they must be made to conform to law Tc smash them would neither be safe nor sane.
 Confidence is everything to the bus iness of country, If it became known lln November that a democratic house had been elected there would be nc waiting new tariff to reduce business operations, Business would fall off il to 20 per cent. in a month. Maintenance of a policy means much and I hope therefore that you will vote to support President Roosevelt's policies"
 Rollin s. Woodruff of this city candi- date for governor, was next introduc- ed, He said II have accepted the re- publican nomination without making any pledge to any man or interest ex- eept that which I made on this plat form at the time of the convention when I promised, If elected, to be tho governor of all the people. (Applause) The people in these times are demand. ing character and purpose in their of flcers as more important than politica pretentions.
 ''The republican party in this state has been ridght in it's attitude on ques- tions for the last quarter of a century Municipal ownership will settle itseli according to the needs of the different : communities. Let us build on foun- dation that will stand the test of time We cannot afford to run unnecessary risks. The fact that the state debt has been decreased from $S,O00,O0O to less than $30O,000 in ten years shows thai our policy has been sound and this hal been done without a state tax"
 If elected I will do my best to de serve the respect of the peopleof Con nectfcut. The reward of the official i; in the satisfaction that he is serving the people regardless of any persona 1 ambition. (Applause)
 In introducing Congressman Lilley Mayor studley said that the peopl, were obliged to MT Lilley and Mir. Don ahue for making the campaign inter esting. 'Both say they are in favor o the laborer and doubtless both are, bu MT Iilley's record in Washington ant his acquaintance with the presiden gives him the advantage"
 Congressman Lilley said:
