While the committee was deliberat-

was invited by the chair to address the
caucus, and he received much applause
for his effort. He stated at the OPEN
ing that it can be said that we are on
the eve of a great democratic success
This is indicated by the elections in
Massachusetts, Missouri and New York.
while in this state the cities of New
Britain, Meriden, Bridgeport Wilt
mantle, New London and Norwich have
all gone democratic this year. We
hear Taft and Roosevelt talking har-
mony, but underneath there is discord.
While Taft says that the tariff bill is
the best we ever had, yet the people
do not like it, and he does not like to
hear about the part Aldrich is said to
have played in 1T, whereby the rubber
tariff was raised and his son was ben
Gifted four million. The republicans
promised reduction in a number of
rates, but they did not come.
The democrats cannot be blamed for
the high cost of living or for the state
tax, as they were not in power The
republicans have given the highway
commissioner four and a half millions
to spend in two years. with a salary of
$4,000, $1,000 for travelling expenses and
as much mora for office expenses,
while he has $4,000 for deputies and
engineers each year. The extravaganza
of the last legislature is sufficient to
cause the people and even prominent
republicans to wish that we should
have a change in state politics, and let
US help TO give them the change.
The caucus adjourned after being in
session about a half hour.
