SMALL C0TERIE IN POWER

shelton, Oct l6--At a republican ral- ly here tonight local speakers and oth- CTS prominent throughout the state in- cluding George l. Lilley, republican candidate for governor addressed the gathering, Mir Lilley spoke as fol- lows:
 Mr. Chairman, Ladies md Gentlemen:
 The platform adopted by the demo- cratic state convention charges the re- publican party of Connecticut, as usual, with many crimes of commission and omission, One of these crimes Is that It maintains machine" through which the Will of a few is made para mount to the will of the people at large
 l wish to call your attention to the fact that the democratic platform. makers arc in a poor and vulnerable position to bring charges against any other party In this respect 1t is a fact that cannot be successfully denied that the democratic party of Connecticut is managed by small cotorie of poitici- ans who assume very large powers
 Machine Rule.
 lt Is a matter of common knowledge that the partys nomination for cover- nor was offered prior to it's convention this year to fully a half score of men thought to be available One after am other in dlscouraging succession de- cIined and t was finally forced upon the least reluctant, as he himself ad. mils In the eleventh hour when the real choice of tho convention delegates refused to have 1t at any price If that IS not machine rule, wha, is it?
 If the convention had such a hatred Of machine rulc, why did it not rebuke this assumption of the men who ped died the nomination around, and left the delegates only ono name to vote upon?
 If the delegates were sincere in their fear of corporation domination. why did they ratify the selection of their machine by naming one who in human nature cannot possibly be heart and soul in favor of legislation that will curb the public service corporations because he is an important integral part of these corporations?
 Democratic Inconsistency.
 Now my friends, l am not critIcisine the democratic nominee because he Is T director in several corporations have nothing against them if they are

DEMOCRATS ELECT
Big Crowd at Two Hour Rally in Fourth Ward-Addresses
 by Party Leaders.
OVATION FOR COURTNEY
FitzGerald. Wallace. Thomas and Cos tcllo Speak of Qualifications
 of Candidates.

The Fourth ward rally on Klmber- ly avenue last evening was attended by nearly q thousand people, mostly democrats, to hear the speeches of David E FitzGerald, former chair man of the democratic town commit tee; Edwin S. Thomas, candidate for judge of probate; William Costello, candidate for representative, and George NJ. Wallace. who ran against Congressman Sperry in the last elec- tion,
 The address of George NJ. Wallace was confined entirely to national is- sues. and he eulogized William Jen- nings Bryan, the candidate for pres dent and his policies. He said that he believed the democratic party to- day is moro united than ever before in its history and expressed his be- llci in it's success in the coming na. tional election.
 The other speakers referred more tSpcClallN to Statc and local issues. MT, FitzGerald spoke strongly of the qualifications of Judge A. Hcaton Rob crtson of this city for the office of governor, and showed the shortcom- ngs of George l.. Lilley of Waterbury. the republican candidate. Mir. Thom- as in his address followed out tn. same ideas and predicted that Bryan and Robertson would carry New Ha- Ven by big maidrties.
 William Costello spoke particularly of the local issues. and of the neces- sity of driving the republicans out of th, position they have so long occu- pied He said that laboring men who were careful students of economic conditions would without exception vote the straight democratic ticket, state and national.
 The meeting lasted over two hours. but the crowd at the close was even larger than when the chairman of the ward opened the meeting. An ovation was given each of the speakers, and there was great enthusiasm for John II. Courtney tue democratic candi- date for senator from the Tenth dis triCt.
