ed ballot"
 Another transparency bore the Vote for Vollmer, He Does Not Want a Life Job.''
 This reference to a we'll known | gentleman whose own party troubles have already caused him to see most wildly the handwriting on the wall, | was also source of laughter and applause.
 Still another transparency read:- Republicans,-the Aviators of High Living"
 l thusiasrn of the out-turning In the 1 face of such weather were the source e of favorable comment all along the | line of march, affording pleasure to l the independent voters and chilIs to ! the dyed-in-the-wool Republicans if | there are any such remaining. On
 every hand the comment was heard | that the people had awakened and | that the time had come for the ex- l puls1Cn of. the money -grabbers from 1 the temples of the state of Connecti- 1 cut. The citizens in the parade and l those on the platform of the theatre i and occupying the body of the house,
 were one and all types of the sintelli- gent voter, while ward-heelers and | other scourges of elective government
 were conspicuous by their absence. And men in the audience were but ! a reflection of the type of candidates 1 chosen by the Democratic party, State | wise and Cfty-wise. Not cadets of l the royal house of Morgan, not bid | ders for buyable political honors not l atorial honors, nor representati of hugee and s;orrurt corporations. fsut
 Food stannen Connecticut citizens, honest to the backbone and worthy of the great trust which, as all signs point, the people of the State are
 about to reDose in them.
 Republican disintegration was fore l shadowed in the rounds of applause | and ringing cheers which greeted the l introduction by Town Chairman W. l w. Bent of Mayor Edward T. Buck l ingham, who presided at the meeting
 and whose introductions of the vari- l ous speakers were not the least en-
 joyabIe efforts of the evening. The big theatre was decorated for 1 the occasion with American flags and pictures of Judge Baldwin. Before the ] parade arrived the body of the house I was completely filled Nowhere was a vacant seat to be seen, save in the ! topmost gallery, which was not fa- l vored because of the difficulty of 1 hearing the speakers there. Hundreds | house, and the nanagern ent of the 1 theatre estimates that over 400 people | were turned away from the orchestra l circle and middle balcony, unable to ! find seats It was the biggest crowd l and the most enthusiastic, that has 1 been at the theatre in long, time. The telling epigrams of the speak 1 CTS, terse1y exposing Republican crook
 edness, were loudly applauded but l greatest of all was the vociferous ac-
 claim which greeted the introduction 1 of the Hon. Simeon E. Baldwin, Dem | ocratic candidate for Governor of | Connecticut.
 1 Judge Ba1dwin's manner instantly 1 impressed his hearers with his sincer- | ity and his belief in the dicturn he
 announced last night that politics should be form of religion" With 1 and the other Democratic candidates who spoke last evening, the much
 abused word politics. takes on it's
 truest and worthiest sense.
 One of the most telling portions ot
 Judge Ba1dwin's speech was that ir | which he devoted to f1aying the cor
 rupt A1drich-Payne tariff law now
 in effect. Of this Judge Baldwin sai6 I q regard it as the crookedest thing l out of iail.'
 Like other crooked things, the, judge 1 explained, the easiest way to strafgh- | ten it out was to hold it up to the i light and this he did and the con- 1 stant applause of the audience show
 hearers were in accord with those o1 l the speaker.
 Judge Baldwin ended his speech
 amidst a furore of applause and was 1 given three times three'' with ire. | mendous vim. led by Mayor Bucking- 1 ham, who conducted the cheering witt 1 college days at Yale. In fact these | college days were prominent in the | mayors memory last evening for the l principal speaker, Judge Baldwin, was l the mayors old instructor at Yale | and the man whom he had come tC regard as an ideal type of American l manhood.
 1 Another very telling speaker, whC held the audience spe11bound through l out his discourse and was greeted witt ! long continued applause, was Lynr l w Wilson, candidate for Congres: l from the 4th Congressional district | MT Wilson exposed in a most con- | vincing manner the fallacies of FtCou. | sin Charlie Goodwin. and ''Sonnie' l Chandler, the one most warmly espos- ed by his immensely wealthy cousin J. Pierpont Morgan, the other repu- | diated by his honest father. MT. Will l sons expose of the methods of these l two worthies in attempting to hood | wink the voters by advocating nea- 1 sures which are not contained in the l Republican platform, was telling 1 one MT. Wilson also made clear the i difference between the Employers 1 Liability Act. advocated by the Re 1 publicans and the Workingmen's Com l oensa ton Act. advoca ted by the Dem ] ocrats In the former. an injured l workman must go to the courts to gel 1 sedress. and may receive it-or may not In the latter, the compensa- 1 zion comes directly to the workman
