Former Governor Dragged Into the Political Arena for the First Time in Eight
 Years.
TALKS TO WATERBURY FOLK
Defends Candidates Conduct in Wash ington and Refers to the Brilliant Knight of the Journal
 Courier.
(spccIcI 10 the JournaI-couriero

Waterbury, Oct 22,-George P. Me Lean, former governor of Connecticut spoke at the republican rally here to- uieht, enterng political life for the first dime in eight years to help Congress- man George l.. Lilley, the republican candidate for governor out of the hole into which the machnemade man has precipitated himself through misrepre- sentatlon and unntness for office as shown by the Roosevelt letter exposure .and other incidents before and during the campaign. Mir. Mclean launched into a desperate defense of Mr. Lilley's action in the submarine matter taking exactly the opposite view of the con- gressmans conduct to that of the con- gressional committee and house of rep resentatives which SO overwhelmingly condemned him.
 MT Mclean concluded as follows:
 q am firmly convinced that should the brave and brilliant knight of the Journal-Courier succeed in staying the head of the republican ticket, he will proudly withdraw to the lee side of the moss grown ruins of the demo- cratic stronghold in Connecticut and there rightfully enjoy eestatic dreams of completely restored democratic | fortress as the result of his sole and singular prowess in political warfare,
 While no one doubts Mir. Robert sons honesty his motives will be put in grave peril, as the proposed bill ere atng public utilities commission, may he of the deepest interest to the corporations which he represents. It seems to mo that a man keenly alive to the proprieties of the situation would have announced his intention to resign his directorates In the event of his election It would have been a safe thing for him to do and I believe tho people of Connecticut, regardless of party will look with little enthusi- asm upon the possibilities of his elec- ton"
