win and Others.
Charles A. Goodwin, republican can
didate for governor. talked to 700 peo-
pie in the town hall Tuesday evening.
1t was the first and only rally to be
held in Danielson during this cam
paign- There was live interest from
start to finish, and everybody sat it
out absorbed in what was being said
about state and national issues. Con-
gresham Higgins and Contello Lippitt
of Norwich and Hon. John Leblanc Of
Fltchburg, who gave an address in
French, were the other speakers of
the evening. Judge Harry E. Back,
presiding as chairman, introduced the
speakers.
Candidate Goodwin received a hearty
greeting. He did not talk long, but
what he said was to the point. Rela-
tive to his partys platform, he stated
his belief that it is as sincere, able and
progressive as has been prepared, that
1t presents the issue plainly and with
out eQulVOcdt1Ol Inc main issues, MT.
Goodwin divided under four topics for
brief discussion, namely. the fight
against tuberculosis, the public utili-
ties bill the employers liability act,
and the removal of the $4,000 death
limit Speaking of the public utilities
bill Mr.. Goodwin outlined the nature,
duties and powers of public service
corporations, the present method of
supervising them through the legisla-
ture, and what the bill prepared by
the State Business Mems association
provides for their regulation, and in
the way of requiring an adequate SER
vice from them.
Mr. Goodwin characterized the pro-
posed employers Inability act as true,
right. reasonable and just, and point
ed out the duty of the republican par
ty, to meet the issue sauarely. He
said that he legislature of 1911 should
pass bill whereby any employe who
IN injured, without contributory neglf-
gence should be compensated.
Taking up the $1,000 death limit law,
Mr.. Goodwin advocated a removal of
the limit as a fixed and arbitrlry val
ue on a mans life, and that the amount
of compensation should be left to a
jury.
Congressma,: Higgins tal, had most
ly to do with the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill, and incidentally with Judge Sim
con E. Baldwin. This bill, the speaker
SalO, HAS DeGJi put OH the Dpphs dIlct
full investigation of the difference in
the cost of production at home and
abroad. in the full glare of publicity
and that it has been characterized as
the best tariff bill ever enacted In this
country. Regarding Judge Baldwin $
opinion of the subject, he said: | wish
he would take any particular schedule
of this tariff and particularize as tc
just what he would do to improve It
1t is easy enough to criticise, but not
as simple a matter TO go into detailed
discussion.
Mr. Lecblanc's address in French
covered much of the same ground as
did that of the speaker preceding him
and also included a discussion of the
high cost of living.
Mr.. Lippitt. while condensing hi:
speech because of the lateness of the
hour, made a strong plea for the con-
tinuance of the supremacy of the re-
publican party OF the state and natior
on the strength of its great record OF
progressiveness during the past hall
centery.
At the close Of the rally the majority
of those present improved the oppor-
tunity to meet Candidate Goodwin anG

reception.
