MisappIed Swamp Land Funds

The statutes provide that one-half
the sales of the swamp lands shall go
to normal school trust funds and the
other half in which the lands are sold
for drainage purposes. In dehance or
this law the present administration has
devoted these from the trust funds and
turned them into the general fund. We
condemn the great insurance COM
panies for the misrepresentation OF
trust funds, and justly so. What snail
we say of the present administration
which is equally guilty and here It
reckless, IL not unlawful extravaganza
of their servants. In the past two
years, since July l, 1904, $1S4,223 40 de-
rived from the sales of swamp lands
have been thus turned into the general
fund and since January, 1903, S23f ,200.10
has thus been unlawfully converted.
II the Democrats are entrusted with
the power we shall put a stop to this
wanton expenditure Of the peoples
money and we shall have a full inyes-
tigation of the business like conduct
of the affairs of the state" for the
past few years by a committee TO COM
pei the production OF books and papers
and the attendance Of witnesses.
Defects in Primary Election Law
Our platform declared that primary
elections are Democratic in principle,
but recognized defects in the present
law, and fayors such changes in the
present law as experience may deter
mine to be necessary"
I believe a political platform should
be the solemn expression of the beliefs
and desires OF the people and ones ac-
ceptance of il a solemn pledge to the
people OF its fulfillment.
1t should be a message from the peo-
pie to the servants. not from the ser
wants TO the people.
| insist as l did at our coHvention
that a party's platform Of principles
should be adopted by a deliberative
convention OF the chosen representa-
tives of the party for that purpose.
The right of petition and assembly are
as ancient as Magma Charta- II not
as ancient as law itself The right OF
self preservation Is as ancient as hu-
man life. A platform OF principles
wrought out in the interchange or
thought and the heat OF debate ,hat
de1ieerative assembly OF the peoples
choicest sons will stand for something.
II will be and nothing else can be the
platform OF the party platform
convention IS freed from all influence
of a nomination convention. and would
involve consideration OF principal only.
A candidate convention invokes con-
Sideration OF expediency only. The

Again the Republican platform in
sists tina, the entire question Of the
regulation If rates shall be put in the
hands of the railway commission. At
ter the city has opportunity for full
information they deny your capacity
and your honesty in determining rea-
sonable rates. They deny you this
measure of home rule. They deny you
the capacity and intelligence for self
government These questions are
broad questions and the people are
demanding relief The railway com
mission was only recently instituted.

the interurban railways under it's con-
troll. Hundreds of questions are de-
manding solution. II will be years
before this commission VIII be able to
take up that great question. To refer
IL 10 the railway commission is TO
postpone action for years to cor.
The. Democratic platform opens the
way fearlessly and frankly for public
ownership by any or all of the riuuic-
qualities OF any or all Of the utilities
The Republican platform closes the
door TO such ownership in this city
in our city OF Madison and in every
other citv that is approximately near
the debt limit. That platform de-
clares, We also favor legislation

The great unsolved problem OF the
state. and the main issue in the state
campaign relates to the readjIstmen'
of the relation between the public util-
ity or public service corporation in the
state and the municipality in which
they exist.
The issue involves the subsection
and regulation OF these companies. II
involves the purchase OF existing
plants or the establishing of new ones
by the municipality, when necessary
or desirable.
In a compare lively short time the
water, electric, gas. power, telephone
and street car companies have won
derfully developed. They are benef-
cial agents ministering TO our wants
and comforts They are indispensable

In our own state the cry OF reform
has been raised and much good has
been done in an effort TO subject TO
regulate and TO control the RAILWAYS
Of the state The Democrats set the
example in the interstate commerce
commission and in the Potter law. The
tax commission which was established
under the Scofield administration was
composed OF able and cons, tsntfous
men. 1t has done and Is doing much
good. The legislation relating To the
valuation and taxation Of the railway
property and taxes on Inheritance
which were recently sustained by our
supreme court was the work OF that
Committee. The railway commission is
composed Of able and excellent men
and no doubt win accomplish much
good. The parties and the faction
that have secured these results are
entitled TO much credit.
But they have forfeited every claim
to place or credit ii. having doubled
or triplcd the income OF the state by
taxation and licenses. they have in
turn been so reckless in sQuandering
the public moneys they have doubled

the public patent to their excuses. Of
their extortionate demands; to their
tyrannical abuse of usurped power.
The present situation has arisen
from the fact that the creature has
forgotten its relation to it's creator.
1t is fundamental in the discussion
of the public service corporations to
remember that they are not private
corporations. They are public service
corporations. They are the creatures
of the state. They owe their very life
to the state. "They are but the serv-
ants and the state is the MASTER
They are created by the public for
the benefit of the public" They owe
a duty of service to the people as well
as coupons and dividends to the stock

TRIBUTES TO TORRANCE.

 Errors.

Spoken at Opening of Supreme Court of
 Errors.
 Hartford, Oct. 2.--Sterling tributes were paid to the memory of the late Chief Justice David Torrance, at the opening of the October term of the su- preme court of errors in the capitol to- day by Attorney General William E. King, and Justice Simeon E.. Baldwin, of New Haven, who is the presiding judge of the court. Both speakers re- counted Judge Torrance's able qualities as a soldier, civilian and member of the bar, and said his memory would long be revered in Connecticut.
 The docket for the present term of the court is a light one, Ldtchiield and MiddleseX counties furnishing each one case and Hartford county four actions, The first case heard was that of the state of Connecticut against William Spittler, ct al Defendants appeal from superior court of Litchfield coun- ty. This was followed by the Middle sex county case of William Jackson vs. George P. Savage, defendants appeal from a judgment of $S,S55. The court will probably conclude its session in two days
 The case of William b. Wyrlan vs. John NJ. Deadly, which involves alleged extortion by the latter, who was an agent of the painters union of Hart ford, and which comes up ,on the de- fendants' appeal from the superior court, has been transferred to Fairfield county.

BOUND OVER.

Young Man Who Attempted to Derail
 Trolley Car Goes to Superior Court.
 In the town court of Cheshire yes- terday morning Joseph s. Painter, twenty years old, an eccentric farm hand employed by Eugene Stone of Cheshire, was bound over to the supe- rior court in $1,OOO for placing rocks on the trolley tracks of the Connecticut Railway & Lighting Go. near Mt. Car mel Sunday night, with what the au- thorities claim intent to wreck the car on which several New Haveners were riding. Painter is salad to be slightly affected mentaally, and according to the statement of the town court, he placed the stones on the rail just to see them fly" presumably meaning that he wanted to see the cars fly to destruction, and its passengers fly to eternity

race, who descended near Whitby yes terday afternoon in the balloon United States, is the winner. signor VonWill- CT, Italy, is second; Count de la Valux, France, third. and the Hon. c. s. Rolls, Great Britain, fourth. Some anxiety was felt on account of MT. Rolls, it being feared that he had attempted to closs the North sea- The delay in re- porting his descent is not yet explain ed.
 Lieutenant Lahm's friends are enthu- siastic over his victory, With the ex- ception of senor Salamanca, the span- ish aeronaut, Lahm was the youngest competitor. Since his assignment to the Cavalry school at Saumur, Lahm has devoted much attention to aero- statics, and his rapid advance as an aerial pilot has already attracted con- siderable attention, He made dozen ascensions during the summer, the longest voyage being from Saint Cloud to Saint Brieuc The lieutenant took the race, the latter, who is the best known American aeronaut in Paris. be- ing called home on Saturday, Major Hersey's trip as Lieutenant Lahws as- sistant was quite accidental, a French man, Levee, having been selected as his assistant. But the Aero club of France protested, and Major Hersey who had just arrived here from Nor way with Walter Wellman, leader of the Wellman Chicago Record Herald expedition, eagerly seized on the chance. Lieutenant Lahm, who is ex- pected to arrive in Paris to-day, cover ed 415 miles, against 370 miles covered by Vonwiller, his nearest competitor, The beautiful cup presented fol competition by James Gordon Bennett thus becomes trophy of the Aero
 club of America. The first cash prize of $2,90O goes to Lieutenant Lahw, and
 the endurance medal to MT. Rolls. wht was the longest ff the afr.
