Bridgeport Morning Telegram Urges All Honest Voters to Support Democratic Nominee

The following editorial from the Bridgeport Morning Telegram (Inde- pendent) shows in a strong and con- vincing manner why the electors Of Connecticut should support the Dem ocratic gubernatorial nominee:
 It is remarkable proof of the regeneration which the Democratic party has undergone during the last few years that it has been able to put forward at short notice as candl- dates for Governorships in three of the oldest and most sophisticated
 States of the Union three such dis tinguished men as Woodrow Welson in New Jersey, John A. Dix in New York and Simeon E. Baldwin in Con- necticut. The men have not been identified with politics in the ordi- nary sense of the word. Woodrow Wilson has written much upon con- stitutional questions and Judge Bald wins long experience of the Law has neceSSitated the acquisition Of knowledge of the science and history of political institutions, such as few candidates possess. But MT. Dix is
 first and last trained business man who has hitherto studied politics upon it's practical side without actu- ally seeking public office. He has Idceu IifOSl HnoOeru pIopiSLiS, "HolhcA
 economic or political. as a plain or dinary citizen.
 Connecticut can only extend its good wishes to New York and New Jersey, but she holds the political
 fortunes of Judge Baldwin in her
 own hands. She also has it in her
 power to aid or retard one of the
 century. The people of the United
 States are at last becoming aroused
 to the evils of centralization and the
 dangers of that accumulation of pow CT within the hands of one man
 which has been such a striking fea-
 ture of the last decade. State rights
 which had been almost forgotten have
 by the too evident inclination of the
 Federal Government at Washington
 to usurp them. Attacks upon the honesty of the higher courts which in
 spite of some patent defects still re-
 main the guardians of American lib- erty, public and private, have been
 gradually paving the way for con- dittons in which the will of a master will become the supreme law. Judges
 have been wantonly abused by men in high places, not for evading the law by their vSfdicts, but for daring to maintain it when it happened to be on the unpopular side of things. As JuQSe BalQWln mas repeatedly Hn- pressed upon the voters, the real is- sues this year are National and not
 local. The choice between two not especially desirable candidates for a Senatorship. the consideration of a Public Utilities bill Or the framing of g. just Employers Liability Act
 matter very little in comparison with those larger issues which really in- clude all the smaller ones. The very foundations of Republican liberty are being shaken and all other consid- erations are of minor importance.
 To those who have long foreseen the coming of such day, the next battle at the polls assumes impor. tant aspects. The Governoship of ev- cry State is of greater consequence | than it has been for many years. If | the rights of the States are invaded | the States must resist by all con- stitutional means. Such a Governor as Judge Baldwin with his immense knowledge of American history and | constitutional law would be of the | utmost service in emergencies which | are likely to arise at any moment His legal training and long expert ence of men and measures would en- able him to avoid the pitfalls lying | in wait for those who tread without | guide or staff a new and dangerous
 road. This is not the hour for rigid | partisanship of either stripe whether 1 it is displayed by candidates or voters | 1t is time for all lovers of the Repub- | lie to bestir themselves and act to- gether for the commongeod
