No Revolution.
The democratic party seeks not rev
olution but reformation, and I need
hardly remind the student of history
that cures are mildest when applied
at once: that remedies increase In
severity as their application is post
poned. Blood poisoning may be stop
ped by the loss of finger today: IL
may cost an arm tomorrow or a life
the next day. So poison in the body
polite can not be removed too soon.
for the evils produced by IL increase
with the lapse of time. That there
are abuses which need to be remedied.

that his party is unable to remedy
them, has been fully demonstrated

al convention, and the republican can
didate has sought to rescue his party
from the disastrous results of this act
by expressing himself. in a qualified
way, in favor of ascertaining the value
Of the railroads.
Over-lssue Of Stocks.
Mr.. Taft complains of the over-issue
of stocks and bonds Of railroads. 'for
the unlawful enriching of directors
and for the purpose of concentrating
the control of the railroads under one
management" and the complaint is
we'll founded. But, with a president
to point out the evil. and republican
congress. to correct it, we find nothing
done for the protection Of the public.
Why? My honorable opponent has,
necessity of furnishing proof; he ad.
mits the condition and he can not
avoid the logical conclusion that must
be drawn from the admission. There
is no doubt whatever that a large ma
jority of the voters Of the republican
party recognize the deplorable situa-
ton which Mr.. Taft describes; they
recognize that the masses have had
but little influence upon legislation or
upon the administration Of the govern
ment, and they are beginning to un-
derstand the cause. For a generation,
the republican party has drawn its
campaign funds from the beneficiaries
of special legislation. Privileges have
been pledged and granted in return
for money contributed to debauch cleo
lions. What can be expected when
official authority is turned over to the
representatives of those who first fur.
nish the sinews Of war and then re-
imburse themselves out Of the peck
cts Of the taxpayers?
Fasting Necessary.
So long as the republican party re
mains in power, 1t is powerless to re
generate itself. It can not attach
wrong-doing in high places withou,
disgracing many Of its prominent
members, and it, therefore. uses OPT
ates instead of the surgeons knife
Its malefactors construe each repub
lican victory as an Endorsement oil
their conduct and threaten the party
with defeat II they are interfered with
Not until that party passes through
a period Of fasting in the wilderness
will the republican leaders learn tc
study public questions from the stand
point OF the masses. Just as with in
| dividuals, the cares Of this world and
the deceitfulness Of riches choke the
TRUTH" so in politics, when party lead
ers serve far away from home and
are not in constant contact with the
voters, continued party success blinds
their eyes to the needs of the people
and makes them deaf to the cry of dis
tress.
Campaign Contributions.
An effort has been made to secure
legislation requiring publicity as II
campaign contributions and expendi
lures; but the republican leaders. ev

lie, refused to consent to a law which
would compel honesty in elections
When the matter was brought up IL

vention. the plank was repudiated b,
a vote Of $50 to a. Here, too, Mr.
Taft has been driven to apologize fol

For ten years the Interstate Com.
merce Commission has been asking
for an enlargement of it's powers, that
1t might prevent rebates and discrim-
nations. but a republican senate and
a republican house of representatives
were unmoyed by it's entreaties. In
1900 the republican national conven-
ton was urged to indorse the demand
for railway legislation, but it's plat.
form was silent on the subject. Even
in 1904, the convention gave no
pledge to remedy these abuses. When
the president finally asked for legisla-
ton, he drew his inspiration from
three democratic national platforms
and he received more cordial support
from the democrats than from the re-
publicans. The republicans in the SEN
ate deliberately defeated several am
endments offered by Senator LaFol-
lette and supported by the democrats
amendments embodying legislation
asked by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. One of these amend.
ments authorized the ascertainment
Of the value Of railroads. This am
endment was not only defeated by the
senate, but 1t was overwhelmingly re
jected by the recent republican nation.

BOWEN'S ATTACK
We'll Known Usn Gives His Res. sons For Refusing 10 Sup
 4 port Lilley.

Dr George Bowen, an. ex-member
 years head of the state grange, writes
 the following letter about Congress- man Lilley:
 Editor Connecticut Farmer. You ask me for an article on the political situation in Connecticut, with special reference to the candidacy of MT Lil- ley. It was my intention not to take any active part in this campaign. and thus far have been silent, and have not burdened myself with even the weight of campaign button, would prefer silence now, but never shirked my responsibilities as citi- zen when they came to me, and will not at this time, for I deem the is- sues that are before the people of our state to be of the greatest importance, and quite possibly fraught with fu- ture that we may we'll dread. therefore comply with your request, although l know that for so doing more bricks than bouquets will be hurled at me.
 The questions in the state are not connected with the national issue. Mir Taft stands we'll with the people, and believe the majority are in full &C., cord with the principles that he stands for; let us therefore concede that Connecticut's vote in the elector- al college will be for him, and sincerely believe enough more from other states to overwhelmingly elect him, so we will pass that by and come at once to the merits of your letter. The subject, however, is so great cannot we'll condense and present it understandingly. I want this answer to cover actual political facts, and not merely personal judgment.
 There are in the republican ranks many who strongly object to the cleo tion of MT Lilley for three prominent reasons; his record in congress, the machine dictation that placed him in nomination, and the moral effect that his election would have on the party. Political weather vanes throughout the state have for several years past pointed to stormy quarter; the managers needed 1t not, but the storm has at last broken and the ma chine men alone are responsible for the division in the party and for the action of large body of thinking men who say that they will not sup port MT Lilley by their vote. Their decisions are not due to clamorous press with editors skilled in the use of persuasive language, for the press as whole are supporters of the ma chine. The outcry comes from men who possess the love of honor, justice and patriotism that yet exists in the hearts of many sons of Connecticut for which pause long enough to thank God
 Then follows a review of the his- tory of the Lilley investigation in congress in which he speaks of MT Lilley as deliberately blackmailing
