We ask them to consider them, too, in the light of the fact that Mir.

CLOSE OF CAMPAIGN.

Tonight will see Inc close of the campaign in the state of Connecticut, which according to tne most careful canvasses will eliminate next Tuesday Tn the election of MT. Taft to the pres idency and of MT. Robertson to the governorship. So far as the state cam paign is concerned, which has been con- fined to the candidacy of MT Lilley, 1t has been a long and unpleasant cam paign. unpleasant because 1t is more agreeable to say complimentary than critical things of any man. We are gratified that our interest in the de- feat of Mir. Lilley and the election of MT. Robertson has not led us to over step the limits of legitimate discus sion, though there have been excited contemporaries which have thought lessly attributed to Us the contrary pur- pose and practice.

MT Lilley has repeatedly charged upon the stump since the campaign opened, that the public service cor porations of Connecticut are venal, corrupt and rascally In their political conduct, He has charged that they constitute the only vicious political machine that exists and that they sup port the lobby. Not one word has he uttered in proof of these assertions which involve an attack upon the pri- vate character of many of the most eminent men in the state and an as- sault upon the properties under their care, which, if true, would be cal culated to either ruin them, or lead to their loss of the charters under which they operate. It is exactly what he did in the case of the submarine scan. dal, only in this case 1t is easier fol Connecticut people to judge of tht probable truth of his reckless asser. tlons. Either MT. Billey knows wha he is talking about or he does not His failure to produce evidence be yond his own unsupported words forces the conclusion that here again he i! willing to twist suspicion and stree corner gabble into direct charges O bad faith in order to profit at the polls A man of personal dignity, who aspre to he governor of the state of Connee ticut, could not be hired to makr charges against the creatures of Con necticut legislation without the proc to support them.

The president replied asking for copy of the speech in order that ho might refresh his memory and upon the receipt of 1t acknowledged that he had been quoted correctly MT. Lllley had no sooner given out his version of the correspondents in gar bled form than President Roosevelt denied, first privately and twice pub lIcly. that he had interfered in any way in the Connecticut campaign or intended doing SO. In other words Mr. Lilley sought with deliberation to make private conversation six or seven months old and relating to an- other subject, do service as volun- tary endorsement of his campaign this fall We leave 1t to our readers to conjecture what use would have been made of that correspondence had it's duplicity not been exposed by inqui- ries set in motion in the office of The Journal Courier.
 MT Iilley has caused to be circu- lated all over the state of Connecticut n leafet in which he Is extravagantly referred to as "Labor's Friend" In that leahet is set forth specifically and definitely the assertion, that he voted for a number of bills and resolutions asked for by organized labor--for all of the bills and resolutions in which organized labor is inter- ested. Taught by his cunning and reliability In the alleged Roose- welt correspondence, The Journal. Courier sent to Washington to have his claims verified. We found what we supposed we would find, that he hac again been misleading the voters. H. is on record as having not voted wher some of the bills were put upon theil passage and in other cases of beinf absent when the vote was taken. Hi explanation Is that he was elthe' paired, when some of the votes wer' taken, or that they were taken in the committee of the whole where rol calls are not made Whatever the req
 facts are, the one tremendous fact i' that he has claimed to have voted for all of these bills and resolutions when put upon their passage which t untrue Having been shown not t have actually voted for all of them tho only possible conclusion to be reached is that he deliberately deceived thr
 voters into believing that he did ii

MT. Lilley committed serious of- fense in morals when he undertook 10 make 1t appear to the voters of Con necticut that he had received letter, voluntarily sent him, from President Roosevelt, wishing him "every success in his campaign" The facts in the case are these Mir Lilley wrote to the president asking him if he could re- call the compliment paid him, 1illey, after his April speech on naval eX- travagances, repeating the words of thA compliment as he recalled them.

 Naturally and logically the basis of the popular rejection of Mir. Lilley as a candidate for the governorship Is his conduct during tho submarine in- vestigation at Washington. There Is difference of opinion among men as to whether he received from the in- vestigating committee "a square deal" and to that extent the findings" of the committee have been neutralized in their political effect. There ls no room for consistent and Intelligent difference of opinion AS to Mir Lil- ley's "conduct." Four things stand out with startling emphasis and though they have been repeatedly brought to his attention by responsible parties, he has consistently ignored them and declined to answer the inquiries in- volved. The first is the fact, made impressively clear in the testimony, that he was continually inaccurate in statement under oath. The second is that he accused his private sec retary of forging his name though when the committe asked for his letter press book he pleaded im- munity under the fourth section of tho constitution of the United States, but retained his secretary in his em- ploy The third is that he offered to barter with MT. sherman, the repub- lIcan candidate for vice president of the United States, if that gentleman would undertake to reopen submarine boat competition. In other words. his object was not to purify the political atmosphere of congress but, as sena- tor Bulkeley has said on the stump, to benefit local constituent The fourth is that when confronted with damning evidence he destroyed it. and said nothing about 1t until confronted by the committee with the fact that he had done SO These four acts have not been explained and until they have been satisfactorily explained they con stitute an indictment of Mir.
