The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-11-07

Before one of the largest and most enthusiastic audiences of the campaign. Robert Hunter, Socialist candidate for Governor. spoke at the Empire theatre last night and fayed to the last de- gree the record of the Republican par ty. State-wise and National
 His speech, which was based on the records of Congress and the State Legislature, was cramned with cpl grams and full of meat, and every forceful hit at the reign of Republican corruption was received with enthu- siastic cheers by the big audience. position that they intend to favor neither Cousin Charlie" and his rall- road gang nor the Republican Con gressmen. devotees and slaves of can non. Aldrich, and the interests.
 The first speaker of the evening, aft CT the meeting had been called to or der by Town Chairman Berger and addressed by Chairman Horsefield. was Charles T. Peach of Danbury, Social ist candidate for Congress from the 4th district, who unmercifully ripped up and exposed the record of Congress man E. J. Hill. candidate for re-elec- ton, although the worst that he could find to say against his Democratic op- ponent, Lynn w. Wilson, was that He Is an estimable gentleman"
 Congressman Hill has been making a great play to the Danbury vote this year by claiming to be the originator of the high tariff on hats, but when he tried to explain this to Danbury voters he made a fearful mistake, as MT. Peach showed. For Congressman Hill told the Danbury men who the hat manufacturers were that asked for a high tariff And who were they? Samuel Mundheim of New York and Charles Marshall of Fall River, the two best-hated men in the hat indus try as far as Danbury is concerned.
 Marshall was responsible for the great lockout in Danbury in 1893 Mundheim was responsible for the great lockout of 190S-9. Together these two men have cost Danbury untold millions. And when Congressman Hill said that these two men stood at his elbow and advised him concerning the tariff on hats, he made a horrible blunder so far as Danbury was con- cerned, as Mr. Peach showed.
 But the fireworks of the evening didn't start until Robert Hunter, So- cialist candidate for Governor, took the floor, and he made one of the greatest campaign speeches ever delivered IT the State of Connecticut. Easing every assertion on the indisputable rec ords of Congress and the State Legis- 1ature he ripped up Republican corrup- tion in a manner that didn't leave even a respectable shred remaining, and he exposed the present rotten Re publican regime from beginning to end in a way which made the crowd cheer with delight. Hunter undoubtedly Is the greatest vote-getter Judge Baldwin has in the present campaign.
 For nearly month," said MT. Hun- ter, 'I have spoken to great meetings in every large town in this State and have published in many newspapers of the State the unsavory record of the Republicans in Hartford and Wash ington I have shown that they worked to defeat every bill in the in terest of labor. And yet they have made not the slightest effort to deny or explain their vote in any way. Ap- parently, they do not think it is nec- essary.
 Now that is surely an amazing rec ord It Is so badthat the labor bod ies of this State have had to con- demn all these representatives. But the Republicans only smiled. They have not shown the working people enough courtesy even to notice their resolutions of condemnation.
 "I have also shown that all the Con- gressmen from this State fought for Cannon, voted for Cannon and worked with Cannon. But today they all are saving they are against Cannon. Ev- cry one of them is now. just before
