 We as a party have stood for those two things for hundred years. While we were in power and we have rev. incidental, the country kept growing rich and prosperous; rich not in mil- lionaires, but in plenty of men of moderate means; rich in property diff fused among the whole people. We can be living in such times again ii turn out Republican President and put in Democratic President.
 T believe that the American peo- pie are ready to do this. They are if each state does it's fair part of the work. Let us see to it that Connec- ticut does hers. Let us sink all minor issues in this campaign. All Demo- crats are in favor. of stopping any unnecessarily extensions of Federal power at the expense of the states, and any excessive protection to a few by unjust tariff laws. Let us fight this year for those foundation prin- ciples, and we shall see new era 5f national prosperity set in, with a Democratic President to steer the ship.
 we have plenty of Presidential ma terial in our party. The choice of the man is a secondary question. The great thing is to proclaim our poli- cies, the old Jeffersonian and Jack sonian policies, true and tested by long use, and popular approval.
 'Rallying around those policies We can. and if we say so, we will, fill the place of Jefferson and the place of Jackson with Democratic presi- dent: acting not for the benefit of privileged few but for the good of the uyl,olo neODle. acting on the principles laid down by Jefferson ,as firm and true now as when he proclaimed them the foundation principles of the Democratic party"

Governor Baldwin Rouses Delegates
 At Dollar DinneI

The full report of the speeches sde- lfvered at the Dollar Dinner at the Stratfield will Joe found in the first page of the second section of the Farmer of today. with the exception of the stirring words of Governor Baldwin. The address of the Cover nor follows:
 Governor Baldwin said:
 Last week we reorganized at New Haven a State Democratic club and this week the whole party has come together by it's delegates and fired the first gun in the campaign of 1912 It IS campaign that means a good deal to Connecticut.
 Our manufacturers want a larger free list of raw materials. Give us in Connecticut free materials, and we can beat the world in working them up. There is no better skilled labor anywhere on earth than can be found in Connecticut factories; doing the finest work, and getting the highest wages. There is no state where the best machinery is more largely to be found. If we do not make it, we buy 1t. If we cannot buy it in this country, we buy it wherever it is to ht had and bring it here. One of our factories not long ago heard of a new lace machine recently patent ed in England. No one in this coun- try has ever used it. They immedi- ately imported one, and it is now in operation in a Connecticut lace shop.
 "The present tariff laws favor a few of our manufacturers and injure the rest. They help the favored few to declare big dividends and cut down Or annihilate the profits of the others
 s'In the present Congress the Demo- cratic House has been sending up to the Senate amendments to the tariff laws, amending them downwards, and so justly and fairly that the Republi- can Senate has adopted them. What followed? A veto by President Taft, and veto after veto. He said once that the present tariff law was the best we had ever had. He has said since that it needed amending badly Why not amend it, then? Why does he not approve tariff reductions. and an enlarged free list, which both Houses of Congress sent up to him :? Cannot Congress move without the permission of the board of tariff ex- perts? And the board of tariff ex- perts have shown that our tariffs are too high and built upon a system that is no system, except for making the consumer of most things pay double prices.
 .I judge men by their acts. and so Judging President Taft, should pre- fer somebody else at the White House in 1913. should prefer somebody there trained in the school of low

Kirrane, 45 years of age, financial secretary of the local union of international steam engineers, committed suicide by gas at his boarding house, early today.

claration on amusements as opening the entire question and forecasting liberal legislation by the present con- ference allowing church members to enjoy such amusements as dictated by their own consciences. This ac- ton is the result of representations by 1aymen and churchmen that Methodists should be allowed to dance, play cards and attend theatres. There will probably be a bitter fight in the conferences over the legisla- tion to put into effect the recom- mendaticns of the bishops.
