Judge Simeon E. Baldwin Made Short Address and
Given Big Ovation-Other Speakers Include Mayor
c. H. Thayer Chairman, D. Coleman of Water
bury, jeremiah J. Desmond, Hadlai A. Hull and
Raymond J. Jodoin.

With the seating capacity in town
hall practically filled on Friday even
ing, the first rally of the campaign was
held by the democrats and much en-
thuslasm was manifested. For some
time previous to the opening of the
rally. which was at SIS, Tubbs band,
stationed, under the arc light in Union
square, played a number of selections.
The rally was called to order by
State Central Committeeman DR.. j. ].
Donohue, who presented Mayor Thayer
as the presiding officer He stated that
We are in the midst of a unique CAIN
paign. Referring to the republican
candidate for governor as the product
of the Hartford convention, he said
that 1t is up to the republicans to vote
straight democratic from what we hear
about Illegal use of monsc to produce
candidate for governor,
b. Coleman Of Wa erbury.
He presented .. Coleman of Water
bury as the first speaker, and he was
given warm reception. He said 1T
was pleasure to address and urge
the gathering to vote for one of the
most honored Sons Connecticut ever
produced and one of the most proni-
nent jurists of the world. He was
president of the International Law as
ISOLATION and possesses the moral
stamina which Is needed to be the
governor of the state. If will honor
and he will turn it over unsulled in its
honor and increased in glory. When
have you had such a man of the in
tellectual caliber as Baldwin or a son
who knows SO well the need as does
Baldwin,
The democratic party has declared
for an employers liability act. and the
republicans have done likewise. The
republicans twice defeated a measure
of employers liability and now are you
going to repose confidence in them
again? He declared that Baldwin
would do more for the state than
would Goodwin as governor and said
that the latter's nomination was engi-
neered by the king of lobbyists, J.
Henry Roraback. No such power for
EVIL liz behind Baldwin's candidacy.
The republican party put the corrupt
practices act on the law books and
then took the life out of it.
The democratic party stands for the
repeal of the limitation of the amount
to be paid for death from negligence
end this the republicans copied, though
they have been in power fifteen years
without doing it. Since Governor Nor
RIG left the office the debt of the state
| has tripled and there is d state tax to
| fill the treasury. He referred to the
| stand of the congressman of this state
| in the house and explained the attitude
| of Dolliver of the insurgents. who de-
| clared the Payne -AldricF, bill was
| written by those who woul profit from
it. The insurgents pref fred to be
| loyal to country rather thin party
| The high prices today he said were
| due chiefly to the tariff, and he re-
| ferred to the large amount which is
| being spent each year for batt1aships
and navy yards and the increase in the
| government expenses since Grover
| Cleveland left the White House. He
made reference to Roosevelt and his
| antics about the country and in the
New York convention.
| The speaker quoted Mckinley, an
| apostle Of protection, ae declaring that
| the markets of the world must be got
| ten by reciprocity. Revenues amount
| to billion year in order to avoid a
| deficit The barrier has been placed so
| high that trade cannot surmount it.
! Before the war the country was going
| along under a low tariff, but after If
| there was q steady rise. Now You say
| by your tariff bill that the outsiders
| must keep out and that the insiders
| must combine. which has resulted in
| great harm It is so that manufactured
| articles made in this country can be
| bought cheaper abroad than they can
| here. The trusts are in control here.
| Every time there has been a panic it
| has followed a high tariff.
| He deplored the lack of q merchant
| marine to carry its exports and i'm
| ports. Under Garfield two-thirds of
(
| VESSELS. Today it is but about 10 per
| cent. of II.
Your duty lies, he said. in the sup
| port of man who will serve you all
| the time and get praise for his service
and about whom YOU will say [ an
] glad I voted for Simeon E. Baldwin
(Applause.)

At this point Judge baldwin was
| escorted into the hall amidst loud ap-
plause and as he stepped to the plat
| form there were cheers and the waving
| of hats. Judge Baldwin was at once
| presented by Mayor Thayer and he
| said
Norwich is a place to which I am
