luo uTbI gun III tho u~nA~Si@sss campaign in this city will be fired on Friday evening of this week and from that time on to the day of election, the democrats and all others in other parties will be treated to the best speakers who can be secured and who will expound the doctrines of demo- cracy in words plain enough to be understood and cherished. The vot- CTS will have every opportunity to be enlightened and to be shown the req sons why Bryan and Kern should be chosen to the highest positions in the land in preference to Taft and Sher- man; why George L. Lilley should not be elected governor of this state, why all the other state officers on the dem- ocratic ticket should receive the ma jority Of votes cast next November and lastly just why the city of Wa terbury should rn'l up the usual dem ocratic majority.
 On Friday evening at City hall the voters of this city will be treated to their frs. enlightenment. The prin- cipal speaker will be Governor Hoke Smith of Georgia and he has the rep utation of being speaker that does not mince matters, when he gets warmed up on his subsect. He hits straight from the shoulder and he will find many bulls eyes that need little d.teni'cn. He Can te relied on to tell many of the reasons why change Is desired, both in national and state affairs.
 The other speaker of the evening will be Mayor Thomas L. Reilly of Meriden, candidate for congress in the Second district. Mayor Reilly IS one of the rising young men of the state, a fluent talker and we'll fitted to explain many of the present issues l of the campaign. He Is one of the prominent Elks in this state and one l of the best district deputies ever ap- | pointed. He too has raised himself from poor boy to his present posi- tion, right here in this old state, and can tell few things that will de- mand recognition from all parties.
 In connection with the two above speakers, there may be others. The democratic town committee will meet this evening to complete all the arrangements. In connection with the rally the various wards In the city are about to organize and form the democratic advance guards. | The first ward met last evening and l got ready the column that will take part in the parade before the rally. l The second and third wards will meet this evening and the fourth and fifth tomorrow evening. It is pro- posed to make things hum on Fri day evening and every voter in the city is invited to participate.
 The democrats of the first ward met at the headquarters last night and organized the Democratic Ad- vance Guards, military body which will get into line at parades during the campaign. The boys will make their first appearance Friday night when Hoke Smith will be here to throw little light on this vexed po- litical question. Attorney Monagan was chosen captain, and it is expect ed that the ward will put it's best foot forward on that occasion. The second and third wards will get to- gether tonight and form two similar clubs. and 1t is expected that the fourth and fifth will fall in" with the largest contingents of all. The Hast mentioned wards are not sched- uled to meet until Thursday night, land 1t would be almost impossible for them to enlist sufficient men for Fri day night unless the work of recruit ing should be started before Thurs day. For this reason 1t behooves the fourth and fifth warders to be up and doing unless they want to be out numbered by the other districts when the grand marshal gives the order to move Friday night. But it Is safe to say that the democrats of the fourth and fifth wards will not be caught mapping and when it comes to show down they will outnumber all the rest of the town easily.
