didate along with Attorney Joshua Meltzer for State representative. He said: Such a gathering as this or such an indictment evening argues well for the success of the Democratic ticket on Tuesday. It shows that the Democratic party is enthusiastic, that it intends to do things. I shall de- pend on the voters of the Twelfth dis trict to do their share to swell the Democratic majority. The Republican party claims that we are dodging State issues. and taking up national issues.
 This is a National campaign just as much as State. We are electing four cengressmen and one Congress man-at-large, and State Representa- tives who shall select two Senators. The fact is that the opposition fear to discuss the National issues, there fore attempting the dodge that we are evading the State issues. The platform of both parties favor a Pub lie Utilities bill and the doing away with the 5000 death limit. But the Democratic platform favors the more progressive measures. MT. Chand- Ter and MT. Goodwin are out shout ing for a Workingman's Compensation Act. They may favor such an Act, personally, but it will not have to be carried out as it is no. mentioned in the Republican platform. If Chandler now favors such a law why did he not so present such a mea- sure when he was a Representative? :? Why did he not put it into the plat form. he was a delegate to the con- vention? President Taft in his cam- paign speeches favored the lowering of the tariff. He may favor such but is powerless to carry it out, as a lowering is not mentioned in the plat form of his party. Two years ago a Republican Legislature repudiated a Public Utilities bill.
 "You all remember when that vote was taken, how lobbyists employed by the railroad circulated among those men? How those lobbyists had to be ordered from the floor. That man who led those lobbyists is now the rec ognized head of the Republican par ty in this State. I refer to MT. King. a resident of this city. You all know of his connection with the Republican city convention here. how the day be- fore everything pointed to a Lake victory, but wher the votes had been counted, Mir. Goodwin was the winner. The Hartford convention is still fresh in your minds. The day before that convention MT. Lake quartered 312 delegates, all pledged to him at his hotel. The day of the convention was defeated. The election of Mr. Goodwin was secured through the ef- forts of MT. King. What if the Pub- lie Utilities should pass the House, do you suppose for a minute that it would not get MT. Goodwin's veto. Charlie owes too much to Friend John to throw him down. The Dem- ocratic party has selected as it's can- didates men who will command the votes of every citizen in the State You will do nothing better than to elect Judge Baldwin the man who will best serve the interest of the peo- pie in general" sstt
 Attorney Edward F. Hallen, candi- date for Judge of Probate Chairman Rogan referred to Attorney Hallen as brilliant young orator who had long served the city on the Board of Ed ucation. long as its secretary, and also doing his work as the most eff cient President of the Police Board the city ever enjoyed, and in all these offices without remuneration. There is a law in Connecticut which allows $500 as a death rate, but it is very very seldom that that amount is al- lowed. More often it is something like $500.

She wanted me to collect s5,O0O from the Liability company She wanted to live and ed ucate her fourchildren as her hus- band had planned to educate them The Liability company was willing to allow $50 for it would cost that amount to defend the case in the courts. The case they stated was not a matter of sentiment with them, they were in business to make money, to protect themselves. Under Workingmen's Compensation Act all this would be done away with.
