Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-11-03

Thinks Well of Irving Chase But Has
 No Use For Congressman LiIIey.

dld not attend the meeting of my democratic friends held in the Au- ditorium Thursday evening for the reason that had no desire to listen to the Oratory of man who was Il traitor to his party in 1896. The stuff fed prophet and his followers who cast their votes and influence with the opponents of William Jennings Bryan, when over six millions Of their fellow c0untrymen registered their ballots in approval of his prin- ciples and leadership can never have my voluntary presence at any assem- blaze, where these traitors are to hold forth. am one of those who believe and have full faith in the infinite resources of our country and the ability of our people to overcome and surmount every difficulty that has or may Tresent itself for our solution. Did we get free trade when we elect eC the Stuffed Prophet a democratic congress. with the majority of our votes in favor of 1t? Not by Il dam or a mills site. We got just what the business and manufacturing in terestS required and had Mir Bryan been elected, either in 1895 or 100O we would have been served ill just the same way with regard to free sil-. yer. The American people, ] will ccncedc are progressive and axe mak. iDA rapid strides in commercial su- premacy, but they are not idiots just yet. What they may become ill the course of time in their greed for gold must be determined by the ballot of the masses and not the classes. This most potent and powerful instrument for the future welfare of not only this nation, but mankind in general is as yet in the hands of the real producer of all wealth-Our wage-earner-and while he is free and unbought i'll the exercise of 1t, the remedy for all To- cal and national ills, is his. There are times when in local affairs men in this community are placed in nom nation for office well worthy of our confidence and respect as also our votes. We have an instance of this kind at present in the nomination of Irving Chase, for state senator. He Is man largely identified with orr industries and of unble.nished character and no taint of retainer fee will smirch his record in behalf of some incorporated privilege against public interests, or his retirement to private life. The city of which we Waterburians are residents owes It's prosperity largely to the individuality of it's corporations. Trusts and com pines of any kind are dangerous to the general good and welfare of this nation, and a democratic republican form of government cannot long exist when capital is consolidated under the contro! of the few. Believing with Mir Jefferson that, Tt is not in splendid government surrounded by powerful mOnOpOlieS or ariStOcratic establishments that the people will find happiness or their liberties pro- tected, but in simple system, void of pomp, scattering it's blessings, like the dews of heaven upon rich and poor alike"
 In district so largely republican as the fifteenth, residentwage-earner can test by his esteem for the Chase family by casting bnllOt Tor so worthy fellow-townsman and rep resentative and particularly 80 as there is no special national signif- canoe of importance at. this time in his election only the general welfare of the state of which we are resi- dents. In the case of congressional we have a great diter- ence and the wage-earner should cast his ballot particularly for Messrs Donahue and Wallace. In this in- stance 1t is to be borne in mind that labor should have voice in the coun- els oY the nation and the president, who has as yet two years to. serve from the4th of March next should have his democratic recommendation to the next congress, supported by rep resentatives of a. different type from those who occupied the positions in the late session. We want no more explosive beefcan representation from this section. Give us representative men who produce something In our country and not men who thrive and grow rich upon advancing prices. Our George. Our Own George, is said to resemble the schoolmaster in the Goldsmith's poems, who was so gazed at and admired and of whom it was said, and still their wonder grew. that one small head could carry all he knew. But, by the way. wage-earners of Waterbury don't forget to vote on November 9th for Donahue and Wallace Show your opponents what you can do. when you have the mind to. Nun said at present-More anon.
