 l Three Speakers.

Carl son of Middietown, republican candi- date for secretary of state. reviewing | the issues statewise and nationwise, and Senator Brandegee seaking with lthe voice of experience gained in leg islatfve affairs in Washington.

 | President John D. Hall of the Nor
 wich Republican club, who was chair man, introduced Hon. Henry H. Gal Elup. former state treasurer, to begin the speaking, and there was applause
 for MT. Gallup as he rose to speak.
 Campaign of Prime lmpcrtanes.
 This campaign, MT. Gallup said 1T Iopening, he regarded as one of the most important the voters had evei Ibeen called to pass through, and oi tremendous importance to every man
 woman and child. This city is an ip' l. dustrial city, whose welfare depends lupon such economic laws as will mak, lit possible for everyone to get the bes
 results fom his labor The progres Isiyes.. he said. were here with us bu lthey were led away by the attractive
 personality of a man, their leader, MT 4 Roosevelt, without whom there woul. Ibe no progressive party. If Roosevef
 was giving the square deal, he woul'
 acknowledge that there was no chanc'
 of his being elected, and vote fo lTD--. .7 1.o ffY- the leader of a party which has beel
 so long out of power that it has n
 constructive policy.
 Il Histery Will Be Repeated. History repeats itself, said MT. Gal , lHp. ana he went on to discuss th panic of 1898, which MT. Wilson in
 recent statement had said was charge
 able to the poor policy adopted by
 republican majority. Mfr. Gallui argued that such could not be the cast |, but that in 1894, under the Wilson tar i if. business conditions were deplorabi and did not revive till the republican
 were again in power with the Dingle
 tariff operating. From his own bust
 ness experience, Mir Gallup told of tn , | lack of orders under the democratE l | and predicted that snch would be tn } inevitable result throughout the coun f 1 try in the event of the election c 3 Governor Wilson. There would be l Islackening in all lines of business, f withholding of orders and the curtail 3 ing of manufacturing, which mean : shorter hours for the workers and tn
 Production of wages.
 2 Particularly True of Norwich. f Particularly true. would that be her e as in the cotton mills such lara e proportion of cost went into wage s He cited the Ponenah mills as an ex T tcellent example of this and dwelt uI 5 on what this industry had meant
 Taftville under the guidance of Joh ' Eccles, who was now one of the Noi
 wieh candidates for repreSentative an . should be elected next Tuesday. There was a burst of applause fC . the name of MT. Eccles.
 : Velvet Mills Brought Here. e MT. Gallup instanced further that u $ J. B. Martin Velvet company
 France under the Wilson tariff .ha E. been selling one million dollars wort ], of velvets in the United States. Thes " goods were made in France. Undo Il the Dingley protective tariff their salt
 dropped off 80 per cent. with the resu " that the company located in Norwio ?; and built up an industry that emplo! u 400 people and has a payroll . S5,ooO a week. (Applause.)
 The speaker referred also to veiy II companies in Willimantic and Stor
 iugton, and in one or two other parts
 the state, and said that the experient
 of the velvet companies refuted u d statement that the protective tari = made high prices, because the mil II here had cut the prices till the produ 7. was sold lower than 1t was in Franc Ia Added to that was the fact that wag q here were three times what they we @ in France, which he had on the al
