The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-10-28
 IS EXPOSED
 BY WILSON
Democratic Candidate For Con gresS Nails Political Buncomb of Goodwin and Chandler
NOT BACKED BY THEIR PARTY
They Are Shouting For Things Which Their Platform Either Omits or Directly Opposes

Lynn w. Wilson, Democratic can didate for congress, said in part: With your permission I will not talk upon national issues tonight. But 1 will consider briefly certain leGisla- of both the great parties, but mainly in the platform of the Democratic lie utilities bill, the direct primaries law, the repeal of the $5,O00 limit and the workman's compensation act All of this legislation, as you know represents matters in which have been much interested@for many years and which l have advocated for many years. whether l was running for ot- flee or not. and which has been em- bodied in the local platforms of our Democratic party for some years now, in one form or another, long in ad- vance of action by the state conVen- tionS.
 You have been told by MT. Good win, that pleasant young man, who like old dog Tray, is in very bad com pany, and by young MT. Chandler, whose father says that his easoning is false and that he is mista ken, that Judge Baldwin, in some mysterious way, represents system and that MT Goodwin, in some equally mysterious way, represents humanity
 1T should have thought that, under all the circumsta nces MT. Chandler. young MT. Chand1er not his father, for the latter says that Judge Bald
 
 avoided that word system in connec- ton with his candidate, who is prince of the blood, so to speak, cadet of the house of Morgan, and keeping very sinister company just now. MT Morgan you know is director of the New Haven railroad, and of many other interests in the System.'
 MT. Chandler, whose father says he the son, is dealing in sophistry, open ed the campaign with his humanity 2 m al ar 1o6 the attack on Judge Ba aIdwin by try ing to show that the Judge. will not favor laws to enable injured work men to recover damages when they are injured in their employment.
 Recently I have seen upon the bill boards big posters, in which MT favor continuation of the fight against tnberculosis'-and: who in the United, States does not?
 And he. says@I favor a real pub lie utilities bill: Also favor q workman's compensation act
 Tt is all :F- And that is correct. He cannot say we favor a real pub lie utilities bill, because the men that gave Fhim the noEnination and the men that want him elected defeated a. real public utilities bill two. years ago, ana tASy want to get control of the I6Sisla ture and the governor so that s,t. they .,t car l SfeFent a @ real pgPlse % legislature.
 Neither the Republican party, nor the men who got MT. Goodwin the nomina tioii favor a workman's com pensation act.
 TT am convinced, after a careful perusa1 of their public remarks, that neither MT. Goodwin, nor MT. -Chand- Ter knew what workman's com pensation act is. nor the difference between such an act and an employ CTS liability act.
 '"The Republican platform which MT. Goodwin's friends made favors an
 Iii .Vxsx <l
 '"It does not declare for a work mans compensation act. The Demo- cratic party does. So when MT: Good 1 win and MT. Chandler began the cam i paign, they favored an employers 1ia- 1 biIity act which is good thin and l which we want. Not, T. believe until | and Judge Ba1dwin's speeches. did | they learn that they favored work 1 mans compensation act, and they made a flying jump from their own 1 platform to ours on that question, and now parade in borrowed plum age. ployers liability act only lets down the bars little. It ena bles the work man to recover even where fel low servant has been negligent. The doc urine of contributory negligence as sa bar to recovery may still remain. And 1 in any event the injured workman, must enter the courts and take the chances of the law to get anything:
 E'But workman's compensat tion act makes comper sa tion to the work compensation the law allows E ma tier of course, without contest and without having to divide with the law.
 50 you now see my friends why | hose young men jumped off from heir own platform onto our platform They knew that they couldn't even whisper that claim that Goodwin rep humanity unless he said I stand for worizman's compensation act
 So there he stands though his party does not Let me tell you the important thing in this matter is not where he stands, but where the rep 'esentatives and senators stand. And ct me tell you that the only thing senator's to any matter. is a declara- ion in the platform of the party to x hich they belong.
 MT LiI1ey favored a public utiIi- ies bill when he was governor But he men who are now MT Goodwins S friends promptly told MT. Lilley that hey kicked MT Lilleys proposal which he made, IS governor, right 'ut into the cold. cold world. MT Goodwin, nor MT. Chandler have tny deep or sincere interest in any # this legislation in favor of which rack the stars believe. that MT. ] Goodwin has not given these matters thy thought. !, His speeches show that le has little conception of this sort ,f ..legislation,. either what it means ,r how it should be drafted. He just wants to be governor.
 MT. Chandler. I believe is influ- .nced by lively desire to get votes
 hope to prove this eventually in a : way that will leave little doubt in our minds.
 ''I exempt MT. Chandler from the ( Lbove assertion SO far as the public utilities bill is concerned. He has il proved that he has some sincerity in | espect to that matter, by his past onduct. although he has never fav- 'red such regula tion of the railroads IS many thoughtful men believe ' houId be had.
 'I think a proposal to have phy- (
