Deeds, not Words
Connecticut People Have Absolute Proof of
 Deeds at Home.

It's not words, but deeds that prov true merit.

 For Connecticut kidney sufferers,

OPENING OF
 TAFT'S FIGHT,
Campaign Begun In YOungs-

HUGHES MAKES ADDRESS.

Calls MT. Bryan an Eloquent Critic,
 but Declares That Republican Party
 Can Stand on Its Record - Present
 Not a Time For Nostrums or For
 Party Which Proposes Them, De-
 cIares New York Governor-Senator
 Beveridse Compares Rival Candi-
 dates.
 Youngstown, O., Sept. 9.-In the pres ence of thousands of spectators gath cred from nearby cities and towns as we'll as the greater part of the inhabit ants of this place the Republican cam- paign in Ohio was opened in this city with addresses by Governor Hughes of New York, Governor Harris of Ohio and Senator Beveridge of Indiana.
 The address of Governor Harris touched on the national issues, but was devoted mainly to state affairs. Governor Hughes, who was well re- tional issues. His speech, the princi- pal one of the occasion, was in part as follows:
 Criticism an Easy Task.
 It is easy for those who are free of it's responsibilities to criticise the ad- ministration, and criticism is whole some and stimulating. MT. Bryan is an eloquent critic, but the record of the Republican party is known to all, and the American people will neither be confused nor misled by adroit thrust or pleader's skill Their good judg- ment may be trusted to maintain a proper sense of proportion and to make a just estimate of the work which has been accomplished.
 Both parties demand a revision of the tariff, but they differ in the prin- ciple and aim of such revision. The Republican party stands for the policy of protection. It maintains it's his toric position in defense of American standards of living and of the Ameri- can scale of wages. The Democratic party seeks, as MT. Bryan construes its platform, to overthrow protection and to establish revenue tariff.
 And it is to the Republican party un- der its wise and experienced leadership that we must look in the present exi- gency for proper guidance to these ends. It is not time for nostrums or for the rule of party which proposes them. 5+s
 Senator Beveridge in his address said: s. # .ssst
 This is a campaign of candidates aven more than of platforms. The question Is not which candidate is most upright, patriotic, brave, for both are equally so. Both mean equally we'll toward their country. The real ques- tion is which candidate will make the best president. In domestic affairs MT. Bryan has written not one law, admin istered not a single department, adyis- ed no president-while featuring all. He is a preacher of righteousness, but not an administrator of affairs. Will liam H. Taft has been judge on the bench, governor of a people, admins trator of a department. His hand has helped to shape most of the progressive laws we have passed in the last seven years, and his great heart and splendid mind are behind every law we propose today.

BuoYs Out Of Position.

The officers of the steamer Harry Ran
dali report that the Kettle Bottoms up-
per bell buoy, which marks the upper end
of the Kettle Bottom shoals on the lower
Potomac river, is missing, and -eems to
have disappeared entirely. 1t is supposed
that it was struck by a passing vessel
and dragged away. or so badly damaged
that the air tank filled with water and
the buoy sank. The buoy is regarded as
one Of the most important on the Poto-
mac. and it's absence is said to be giving
Potomac boatmen considerable concern.
The buoy. which was dragged from the
flats at Whitestone, Va, is reported lying
in deep water of Gunston wharf with
only few inches OF the top of the spcr
showing above the water at low tide. 1t
is directly in midchannel, and as it lies 1t
is a menace to the safety of small power
boats and sailing vessels. A few days
ago lighthouse tender replaced the spar
missing off Whitestone with a new one.
but the crews OF the buoy boat failed TO
locate the missing spar.

GENERAL NEWS GATHERED

point near Glymont, Md, during the COM
ing shad and herring fishing season, and
the boat is now at Baltimore. being over
hauled and put in order for the service.
AS far as known. she Is the only power
boat chartered for the fish-running service

sotiations are in progress for the charter
Of a small power lighter for this service.

five fishing seasons.
A fleet Of TWENTY-FIVE or more sailing
vessels will be engaged in fish-running
when the season opens. about the middle
or latter part Of this month. and a mum.
Der Of them are now at river points hav-
ing ice boxes arranged in their holds for
the work. Several tugs will be chartered
to tow these boats between this city and
the fishing shores along the river. and in
the season two or three trips will. made
in each twenty-four hours from the
shores closest to this market.
The big four-masted schooner Clara A.

Bryan Attacks Republicans
William J. Bryan said:
.Our trouble used to be ito persuade the
republicans to accept democratic poiicies'
our work now is to expose the imitation
nv them of delicate ideas and to point
ont wherein they come short in their
afrort to appropriate democratic doctrines.
"Take. for instance. the trust question.
We had definitely convinced the repupn-
cans that there were trusts; now they au-
nit trusts exist. We had pimcuity CON
yipcinR them the crlmlldi law S'oui
enforced against trusts: now they ADMIT
II should be enforced, but fall to enforce
n In so far as they have acted against
the trusts at all, they have acted along
the lines laid down by the democrats, put
the trust magnates are still at large, the
trusts are still fiourshing. and even the
sunporters of Mr. Taft have no SPECIFIC
remedies to offer for relief. and trusts
arise while republicans are boasting OF
I their crusade against them. Ihey pro.

rates when they had full power to do SO,
and then asked to be returned to power
that they may do what they have failed
to do.
The republicans now admit that rail-
road regulation has been needed, and yet
for ten years the republican party allowed
itself to be overawed by the railroad
lobby al Washington. and having. with
the aid Of the democrats. secured little
relief. the republican leaders now rely
upon what has been done. and outline
no program for further legislation. The
republican leaders have watched a few
railroad magnates strangle competition
and combine great systems into greater
lection of the public. and now they ask
for another lease of power as reward
for their inaction."
Populists Declare for Bryan.
OMAHA, Neb.. March 6-Bryan was i'm
dorsed for President by the Nebraska
state populist convention. which met in
Omaha yesterday. and delegates to the
national convention Of the party were in
structed to work for the interests of Mr.
Bryan at that convention In every way
possible. However. they were instructed
to prevent the populist national conven-
ton from making a selection or naming a
candidate until after the democratic ma
t,Onal convention
If Bryan is not nominated at Denver the
Nebraska populists will not support the
democratic nominee.
The convention acted throughout on the
theory of whatever is best for Bryan is
best for the populists. and the only reso-
buttons OF a national character were those
eulogizing him.
The pOpulists Endorsed George w
Berge, democrat. for governor Of Ne
braska, and paved the way for fusion
within the state with the democrats
The general tone of the speeches was
that nationally the populist party was no
more. but that it could WELD a great in
f1uence in several states and thereby as
sist in the election OF democratic Presi-
dent. should Bryan be named.

Bryan's Ideas in Platform.

The platform as whole was largely
Mr.. Bryan's own work. That it reflected
the leaders view as to what should form
the issues upon which the party should
go before the country next fall, was not
denied.
Mr.. Bryan. however said that the dec
larations of the platform were necessa-
rily incomplete: that some subjects which
undoubtedly Will be included in the ma
Onal platform were omitted. while
Others were treated in the Nebraska doc
ument in a purposely brief manner SO
IS to allow amplification at Denver.
The Fowler and A1drich currency bills
were condemned. Emergency currency. it
was declared. should be Issued and con-

phasfzed as a necessity the 'stand-pat
policy being ridiculed in terms that made
the delegates shout with laughter.

favoring extension Of irrigation and rec
