 To those who were casting their first votes, to those who were under con- tracts to buy homes, to those who | wanted to see their savings bank de- | posits hold firm, he appealed to vote [ for the safe. reliable and honest presi- i dent, MT. Taft-Honest Bill Taft. We { don't care if he doesn't know the first principles of politics, but he is good business man. and good honest bush ness is good politics, and we need him in the future. as he has saved us here at home from industrial disaster.
 The speaker made an appeal to the women to use their influence with the voters, and he concluded with a final appeal to let well enough alone by voting for William Howard Taft.

 Carlson on Connecticut Conditions.
 MT. Carlson acknowledged the en- thusiasm with which he was greeted, and said 1t, was an indication of condl- tions around the state. and he went on to speak particularly of the busy hum of industry which is keeping Connecti- cut factories working in night shifts. a condition which had been fostered py the real protective tariff. He ois- cussed the. increase of wages under the protective tariff, which had been the reason for a great influx of inn migration and the development and growth of the country.
 | Sour Democratic Pudding. E The democratic predictions of 1892 | 1893 of high wages and low prices for commodities were never realized. The proof of the pudding is in the eating,
 and if there ever WAS sour and doughy pudding 1t was that democratic connection of 1893. Soup kitchens and bread lines of those days were pie tured, and the speaker read quota
 ton from woodrow Wilson's United
 States History touching upon the in-
 dustrial depression and lack of em-
 ployment at that time. ending with re-
 sumption of business with the incom-
 ing republican administration after the four years of democracy
 Candidate Carlson pointed his aIgu : rnents with two apt stories Illustrating
 the value of experience, that brought
 a laugh.
 l Demonstration of Tariff.
 Taking the manufacture of ploughs
 as an example, the speaker showed
 how the greater wage vote here thar in England constituted the differencs
 in the price which American manufac
 turers had to charge for ploughs in ex. cess of English manufacturers. ana how the protective tariff to cover thi' was a necessity to keep going thu
 American plough factory or any othei
 American manufactory similarly sit
 uated with regard to foreign Inanufac turers. Without dependence upon tn
 protective tariff, the only course lef
  cut the price of wages.
 Mention of William Mckinley, unde
 whom the country revived after tn
 depression of 1s93-97, was the sigma for burst of applause. To such a wanted a change from present condi tions of prosperity, the speaker ap [ piled the scriptural quotation, "Lorc , forgive them, for they know not wha they do.
 Danger from Underwood. r Underwood's statement that h . would have the mills of New Englan t in the southland was referred t B, alongside with the statement made b :. the democratic leader. after he ha I seen the prosperity of the New Eng t land mills that he was no dynamitel No More Tom Reillys 2 New England cannot afford to hay it's business prosperity in the hand ], of a democratic leader from the souti o and Connecticut wants to send us n
