WHY BALDWIN,
 APPEALS TO ALL
 THOUGHTFUL MEN

A fine looking man of middle age stepped up and shook hands with me the other day, with the remark that I would have his vote. I'm a Black Republican, he said. 'I have never voted the Democratic ticket in my life. But when l went to buy my dinner yesterday and found pork chops had gone up to 25 cents, I made up my mind it was time to stop Not- ing with the Republicans this year anyhow
 l was asked to lunch the other day at a leading club in a leading city. We sat down to the regular luncheon. furnished at q fixed price. The sec Ond course was pork chops, and my entertainer felt called upon to apolo- gize for them, with the remark that they had generally had lamb chops
 Yes, we all feel the high cost of living. We must all spend more to live as we used to live before the Dingley tariff and it's younger broth CT the Payne tariff came to oppress the people and favor the trusts.
 The Republican managers in Con- gress tell us that the Payne bill has not raised duties, on the average. That depends on how you get at the average. And the fairness of it all struck that average in the public in terest. Did they raise it on goods that might otherwise be imported to unsell the trusts, and then average things by lowering it on other things that the trust wanted to use for ma terialS?

 There are certain expenses that each party must meet. They amount to a considerable sum,-far greater thar it once was, far larger than could be wished. Our laws are such as require this and as the State grows the cost of elections and of political campaigns before election grows also.
 Let the people keep each party to those expenses: let public sentiment frown on every use of money or of favor to influence a vote, and then then only will pure elections bring into office only honest men,-men who can be depended on to make or uphold honest laws, framed for the good of the whole people,-equal and

 The people have begun to look to the Democratic party as the real friends of reform here.
 I have heard it said that there would be large number no doubt, Of thoughtful Republicans who would vote with the Democrats this year but with the added question-How about the mass of the party, who let their leaders do all the thinking and always vote as those leaders direct
 Fellow citizens, there are a great many more thoughtful men in this State than some think.
 The prices of the necessities of life also have reached a point that makes and the next biggest company in those lines, The Tennessee Coal 6 Iron Co.,, let us see how they fared. I read from the tariff: Steel ingOts, cogged in- gots, blooms and slabs; die blocks or blanks, billets and bars; mill shaft ing; hammermoulds or swaged steel, cent a pound or less, a mill and about 4 of a mill pound By the Dingley Act the duty had been 5 mills pound So the Steel company got rid of nearly half the old duty on it's ingots.
 This must be made up somehow, in order not to have less money to ap- propriate from. Let us See some of the increases, and where they struck Razors. The duty was 56 per cent. Payne and Aldrich have made it 94 per cent. Every man in the coun- try helps to pay that raise. Watch movements were 66 per cent They have been put up to S2 per cent On the whole watch of a cheap grade the increase on some is 50 per cent over the Dingley bill, making the total tariff now 125 per cent, when before it was 100 per cent. What is the re- suit. The great watch trust makes it's watches of all grades so cheapIy that it can sell them abroad at a low figure but sells the same here at a high figure and some of our jewellers buy them abroad, reimport them duty free and sell them here under the American prices of the Waltham trust. A fine WaItham watch, bought here from. the Wal tham Co.,, sells at $40. The same watch bought abroad and brought back, sells in New York at s25.3S. One of their $1O.75 American price ladies' watches, they sell abroad for less than S7 and is bought there and brought back and retailed fer $7.20.
 Was the duty on wool lowered? :? Not at all. On blankets? No On carpets? No. On silk plushes? Yes On velvets? Yes. On patent leath- CT? Yes On kid gloves? Yes

 AS officials of the City of South Norwalk, we have been in a position to know of the good work done by William Vollmer, Chief of Police foi the past twenty-two years, and we heartily endorse his candidacy for County Sheriff, believing him well qualified to fulfill the duties of the office.

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-11-07

The unanimous choice of the Democracy of Fairfield county for sheriff, William Nollmer, for many years head of the police department of South Norwalk.. should make an ideal man fer the place.
 Chief Vollmer has been connected with the police department of his city for quarter of a century, most of that period as the man at the helm, and under his wise and fear less administrat ton, the city has made an envia ble reputation for her. self as a law abiding place.
 Chief Vollmer is modest and unas- suming, and prefers to remain at his desk directing with rare Executive ability the work of his assistants, to making ostentation of the position he holds. His public utterances during the campaign have disclosed a char acter of sterling worth to those be- yond his home city who had not had an opportunity to meet him.
 Chief Vollmer's election is practi- cally assured, not only by the united Democracy that has rallied to his support. but by the hundreds of dis satisfied Republicans throughout the county.
 Chief Vollmer is an active leader of the State Policemen's association, is well known fraternally and is a great lover of his own home.
