WET WITHOUT, DRY WITHIN,--
 HILL RALLY.
Price of Living Has Not Gone Up-We Can All Eat Jute and Hemp for Breakfast.

Intensely wet without, and intensa- ly dry within--thst is the story of the Republican rally at the Aruuory last evening at. which thexHan. E. J. Hill, begging for reelection, tried to convince the people that the price of living has not gone LID and that he is not responsible for It's going up. Why, I don't fknow how it is in Bridgeport" said Mir. Hill. "But n see by the advertisem ments in the daily papers of Norwaik that thsI down."
 At this it was politely suggested by, some one in back of the hall that Mr. Fill be given an opportunity to reside in Norwalk for the remainder or his life and reap the fruit of his
 Scarcasrn was MT. Hilis chief wea-, pon last night. When the people ., asked for a loaf of bread he gay z. them a writhing scareasm about hisl opponent, and when they asked. for; meat he gave them the tariff on 3ute and hemp.
 Why go hungry when the tariff on Jute and hemp has been reduced? In 1878 thev tariff on jute was so cents. Now it is only 45 cents. We can all eat Jute for orea kfast. It is far su- perior to shredded nuts and bolts .. friend in bread crumbs is an az tremely nourishing dish. Give us 1uts and hemp, cry the working people.
 Inside the armory there were less than 900 people, on a count taken by dfslnterested committee. There were seats for 2,0O0. and the army of vacant chairs as well as the apathy of the audience boded i'll for the con- gressman from the 4th.
 The old time hio-hio-horray Hill enthusiasm was nOticoa bIv 1ackfu1 that it was painful, even to the dis believers, who were present in large numbers and who listened with smiles of enlightenment to the sop carry. any weight around election time.
 About his labor record Mir Hill was eloquently silent. He didn't attempt to explain why he has voted steadily against labor on every measure that past decade. He didn't attempt to explain why he voted that labor un- ions were :'trusts and answerable under the antitrust act. He didn't of the Aldrich whip on every import ant measure that has come up in the House of Representatives.
 But the hardest and most ungrate- ful task that the poor old congress man faced was that of trying to de- fend the indefensib1e-to explain the ineXplica b1e-fO champion the hope lessly corrupt Payne-Aldrich tariff law, of which Congressman Hill was one of the ablest supporters. But oh, the intense silence that greeted his efforts. Shed a few tears for F.. J. Hill and the tariff.
 The Hill rally which was slated as the last grand wind-up and entf1usj- astic boom for the Republican cam paign was like bucket of ice water thrown on a shivering child.

 Two weeks after he landed in New York Joshua Meltzer entered the en- ploy of an insurance company with which company he stayed in one ca pacity or another until 1900. He was well thought of in the company, so much so that in 1906, when the com- pany published book reciting its his tory and it's leading men, a biograph- ical sketch was published of Joshua MeItzer and his work highly compli- mented.
 Eight months after landing in New York he entered a law school( continu- ing in the employ of the insurance company and graduated from the school in 1893 with the degree of L.L. B. And honorable mention

He started in business here in 1900 and was successful, ac- uuiring considerable real estate (he pays about $500 in taxes) and in 1906 he decided to go back to the law bus mess and was admitted to the bar in 1907. He is now successful practicing attorney, and we'll thought of in the profession. He is an able, conscien- tio1s and honora ble man, and has the quality of "get there" in whatever he does.
