Judge Stud|ey
 Defends vetoes
DECLARES TAFT PREVENTED
 BUSINESS DISTRESS
OPENS HIS CAMPAIGN
Discusses State Issues in Address at WalIinsford RaIIy-Importanoe of Farming in Connecticut.

Wallingford, Conn, Oct. S.-Judge John P. Studley of New Haven, re- publican candidate for governor, open ed his campaign with a speech at republican rally here tonight, in which he pointed out that the republican party was the party of real progress and declared that if President Taft had not vetoed the tariff bills re- gently passed by congress under dem ocratic leadership, i've would now be in the shadow of such paralyzing bus mess distress as followed the passage of the Wilson bill in President Cleve- lands administration.''
 Discussed State Issues.
 Discussing state issues, he said:
 T have seen much suffering from physical misfortunes, most frequently from the ravages of consumption. It would be a blessing if the state of Connecticut would help care for the families of those who are stricken down with the disease until the bread winner is again able to support his family. Let that good work begun by republican legislature and republi- can governor be fostered and extend ed.
 Workingmen's Compensation Act.
 'The party platform this year is un- equivocally in favor of a working mems compensation act. Fervenfly do 1 hope that an act may be passed by our next legislature that will give to the working man and working wo- man the protection they have 8 right to expect; an act so drawn that it will be equitable to the employer and to the employees. In my. opinion it will not only be an act Of humanity and of justice, but it will be a good investment for the state of Connecti- cut to stand it's share of expense in this matter.
 Investigation of Abattoirs.
 Tn the republican platform you will find a declaration in favor of abbatoirs. Here again I wish the simpler word. slaughterhouse, had been used. They tell us that the beef trust may take hand in this issue Let the beef trust take a hand if it sees fit. The republican party plat form recommends that a special com mission be appointed by the governor to investigate this matter and to re- port before the close of the coming general assembly. I am confident that such a commission will work out a plan under which the farmer will be able to raise cattle and sheep to his own profit and to the general benefit of the consumer in our home markets The proposition that the state should encourage the raising of cattle is a step in the right direction.
 Extension of Work of Agricultural
 College.
 l. in the Litchf1eld hills I have always had the countrybred boys interest in the farm. And I favor with every lover of Connecticut the extension o1 the work of our state agricultural col lege and our agricultural experiment station to aid the farmer in the study of his soil. and in the better treat ment of it so that better and more crops may be raised. You men who work in the factories of the state gre dependent on the success of farming quite as much as is the farmer who makes his living directly by produc- ing farm products. And so there is a general state interest in the suc- cess of farming. in safeguarding our manufacturing interests and in the humanizing influences of benef1cent legislation. These things the repub- lican party stands for, these things il will work for in the halls of legisla- tion.
 Home Rule for Cities.
 By reference to the party platform you will note that the republican par ty stands for progress in the matter of modern legislation for the cities We take the position that the mem- bers of the legislature from the coun- try towns are not interested in the local business matters of a city, and they cannot give to that other com munity the proper consideration. The party platform takes the advanced ground that the cities should be per mitted to provide for their local i'm provements subject to certain safe guards. The republican party believes in home rule"
