WILSON ED BY RECLAMATION
PERTINENT TRUTHS
 FROM THE SPEECH OF LYNN W. WILSON

The high cost of living is due to the eNtortions practiced on the people by special privilege and tariff created trusts and nonopolies.
 That the Payne-AIdrich tariff bill, which Representative Hill
 assisted in making, gives new power to monopoly, and is a vio- lation of the pledges made by the Republican leaders to the people.
 That Hill has admitted that the Payne-AIdrich bill. is not an honest bill.
 That Hill was hand and glove with Cannon and Aldrfch, and that he surpassed them in stand patism and in opposition to pro- gressive legislation.
 That Hill voted against the in- come tax amendment to the con- ] stitution, which the standpatters dared not oppose. The vote was SIS to IA and Hill was one of. the IA.
 Hill is a champion of a great central bank, which most of the standpatters want, but which few or them dare defend.
 Democrats promise to abolish the direct tax on towns and will do so by levying the sums that ought to be raised upon immense properties now practically un- taxed.
 The cost of living will not go down until the tariff is reduced and the snor.foI 11v.ixyiTo0eS Divov. to the trusts destroyed.

 One sixth of the wealth is owned by 5000 or 5000 people.

 ''Once again to the Democracy of the Fourth Congressional district of Connecticut comes the opportunity to present for the consideration of its electorate a candidate for representa- tive of this district in the national House of Representatives.
 During the long reign of power en- sembling of this convention and our nomination for this exalted office has been merely the perfunctOry4 perform ance of a political duty. Our. candi- date was offered on the altar of party politics as a victim for defeat. and we knew it as we assembled in convention and the candidate knew it as he sac rifced himself at the call of his party. JAS an opposition party, the obligation was upon us to present a representa- tiv of Democracy for every office held by the Republicans. even when the prospect was hopeless.
 During those long years when the Republicans were entrenched in power all around us, our party showed no charges the works of the enemy in the teeth of defeat we formed our or ganization and advanced to the battle of the ballots only to be thrown back in defeat time and time again by the multitude of the opposition.

WEST POINTERS
 STILL SULLEN
Especial from United Press.)

West Point, N. r., Sept 29-It was announced today that the cadet corps of the United States Military Academy. all of whom have been under arrest since last Sunday for giving the fsi- lence'' to Captain Rufus Longan, will continue their ban next Saturday. The announcement of the comparatively early adjournment of the court of i'm quiry is declared by the cadets not to be due to the fact that the court has gotten to the bottom of the trouble but because it sees no chance of ever getting there. Of the 100 cadets that up till today had been called by the court, not one, it is understood, has "peached.'' It is expected that Major General Barry will infIict punishment covering not only the ''silencing' of Captain Longan but the refusal of the cadets to reply.
 The cadets are still kept in barracks and deprived of all recreation periods.

ERIE MEN To
APPROVE The
STRIKE PLAN

New York, May 1O-Count will be
made on May 10 of the strike vote Of
the trainmen and conductors of the
Erie railroad system between New
York and Chicago for the wages
granted the Baltimore and Ohio men
by the arbitrators under the Erdmann
act.
From the indications so far the vote
is overwhelmingly in favor of strike,
and IL the full vote is for strike the
heads of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen and Order of Railroad Con-
ductors will in accordance of the rules
of the two organizations make last
effort to bring about a peaceable set
tlement before the strike is declared.
The following statement as to the
situation was issued by the Erie rail-
road
THE indications are that the diff
culties between the trainmen and con-
ductors of the Erie railroad and the
| company are not of such a serious ma
ture as to make strike Inevitable. 1t
is the usual procedure of railway or
ganizations, when their original de-
mands are declined, for the general
officers to take any necessary steps
including the declaration Of strike in
case a satisfactory settlement is not
made with the employer.
I'm calling for vote on the Erie
railroad, each employee Of the organ.
ization referred to is requested to sign
to the effect that he VIII strike Unless
settlement of the above referred to
questions, satisfactory to the general
committees and officers of the two or
ganizations, can otherwise be effected.
The Erie officials are somewhat at O
loss to understand what is meant by
settlement for the reason that the
Erie Railroad company has been deal
ing with the general officers of the or
ganizations rather than with the com
mittee of its own employees The pro
ceedings have been carried on abso
lutely aud entirely by the presidents
and vice presidents OF the two labo
organizations, none of whom Is an Fri,
employee"
Commenting on the statement, w
G. Lee, grand master of the trainmen
speaking for Grand Master Garretsoi
of the conductors and himself, said:
1.-THE Erie has been given the sam,
| opportunity as the New York Centra
and the Baltimore and Ohio railroads
and we did not ask penny more no
will we accept penny less in wage
than they pay. When the Erie buy
new cars or equipment it pays tn
standard price, as the New York Cen
tral or the Baltimore and Ohio or an.
other road has to pay Why should
pay less for labor than these roads
There is no truth whatever in tn
statement that the company has bee
dealing with the officers of the organ
izations rather than its own employee:
'sTbe men have no share In incul
ring any OF the charges left by othe
managements of the company. tn
Erie is making money, but is hand
capped by fixed charges owing to
capitalization of $4,000 or so pc
mile Of road owing to poor manage
ment in the past, which the preser
management Inherited the burden o
bat which President Underwood, GeI
erai Manager Stuart or any Of tn
present officers are no more to
blamed for than the men. Why the
