4 Proqressive's View,

MT. Editor: The progressive party declaration for social and industrial justice should gladden. the heart of every workingman.
 The blanks in the platform are what the labor unions have been struggling for for more than forty years, such as the initiative, referendum, and re- call
 This year. as in other years. the greatscry of the campaign is the tariff. Just compare the progressive party declaration on the tariff with the other parties and decide which is best for your interests-the republican tariff through which the manufacturer de- rives all the benefit, or the progress sive party declaration That the ben- eft of any tariff should be disclosed in the pay envelope of the iaborer."
 The progressive party also pledges ltself to enforce the civil service laws,
 You ask whether the proxressive party will do this. What better as- surance could be given than the rec ord of it's great and noble leader The odore Roosevelt?
 It took courage to do some of the things Roosevelt has done.
 In 1902, he settled the great coal strike, showing his ability to deal with labor questions.
 Take no chances-vote the straigh, progressive ticket. Y. H. BROWN, Norwich, Oct. 26, 1912.

WoM EMS PART.
Progressive Speakers Talk on Suffrage Planks-Herbert Knox Smith Urges Election of Senators.

Willimantic, Oct. 2S.-
 The progressive rally in the town hall Monday evening was attended by about 250 or 300 people. William A. Dawson, a member of the progressive town committee, presided. He intro duced Edward RoZelle of Hartford, candidate for secretary of state on the progressive ticket. He spoke on the various blanks of the party platform and then gave his reasons for becom- ing connected with the new party. Smith Allen Carpenter of the national progressive headquarters in New York spoke next. He discussed the four blanks in the party platform relating to women and also traced the growth of the new party and explained very Interestingly and forcibly what women could do without interfering with mems rights. Herbert Knox Smith Of Hartford, candidate for governor on the progressive ticket, was then intro duced and took up the thread where the previous speakers left off, discuss ing the problem confronting us today, that of good American citizenship, and said that we must work in co-opera- tion with the women, as their support is essential. He said the key to the progressive party is in the reliance upon the people. We must be ruled by ourselves. We must put the gov ernment of this state in the hands of all the citizens. He spoke of follow ing all of Governor Wilson's speeches and said he was unable to find where he stood upon anything. The pro- gresstye party believes in knowing where one stands before making an attempt to follow him. He then went on to explain why he supported Roosevelt, saying that he could deliv- CT the goods and was always ready to answer anyone's questions at anytime. He said: If am elected governor of Connecticut the first thing I'll tackle will be direct primary law. He told of the grand work progressives Were doing all over the state and con- cluded by urging the election of the 35 senators if nothing more. so that good work could be accomplished. L. E. Dimock of Stafford Springs was introduced and read an original poem entitled The Progressivt Flow that kept the audience in convulsions for nearly half an hour.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Want Men Like studIey.

MT. Editor: clip the following from the National Tribune and don't think anything can be said to add to its value. We all know that Simeon E. Baldwin is not, and never will be, a soldiers friend. Simeon F. Bald win is mot and never was progress sive. Simeon E. Baldwin would have made a good governor, perhaps, in TYP, but today we want more like Hon. John P. Studley at the helm.
 The Tribune says:
 "The republicans of Connecticut
 have nominated for governor Com rade Studley, a man of high character and reputation and who served hon.
 orably in the Twentieth Connecticut during the war. Comrade Studley is man whose civil career has been a signal illustration of the character of the union veterans. He has attained prominence among his fellow citizens
 by his ability. integrity and success
 in his chosen vocation. He deserves
 the vote of every veteran and son and relative of a veteran in the little Nut meg state.
 Against him is Governor Baldwin, who has been renominated, and whose administration has not been at all &C., ceptable to the best citizens of the state. Governor Baldwin seems to be one of those northern doughfaces who 1t was expected were snuffed out by the war, but the generation still ex- ists. They can find nothing to praise in the north, but everything in the south. Governor Baldwin had the bad taste when he was invited as a matter of official courtesy to visit the department of Connecticut, G. A. R., to sing the praises of General Lee and absolutely ignore General Grant, ex- cept to say slurringly that while Lee devoted himself to teaching young men in the University of Virginia, Grant was in Wall street trying to make money.
 Between Studley and Baldwin no
 man who is loyal to the institutions
 of our country should hesitate a min ute.'
 The cross in the circle at the head
 of the second column on the official ballots does the whole business. c. B. MONTGOMERY, Pavker, Conn, Oct. 26. 1912.

BREED THEATER.
~The Chiefs Blanket" the Biosraph
 Special Indian Feature.

There is a wealth of Indian senti- ment in the profound story of the Bio- graph company, which is the feature at the Breed today, dealing, as 1t does. with the sacred blanket which covered the body of the great chief as 1t lay upon the funeral pile in the midst or the innermost recesses of the forest. It is a gorgeous affair. and highly prized by the red men and used through the greatest respect for the departed leader. It is stolen by an outlaw, and later given by him to passing p1o- neer who has befriended him. The re- gaining of 1t by the tribe is the plot of the film, and it presents some mar velous bits, of scenery and plenty of good, spirited action.
