Compared Taft and Wilson.

Compared Taft and Wilson.
 In all probability, said Mir Axson, he could see only one possibility next Tuesday, and that would be the cleo tiOn of the democratic ticket. (Ap- plausa) Taking up the personality of the candidates, he defined Mir. Will son as one who believed in going for ward, Mir: Taft in standing still. With ili MT. Taft's admirable qualities, he is tempermentally unfit for the office, and he fails to understand the doc Urine of progression. Of course Colonel Roosevelt is just as progressive as Woodrow Wilson. They tell us thar many of the things that the democrats are advocating now are what Roose- welt had advocated for the past F years. and that is true. We cannot fail to honor what Roosevelt did for the people. but he is not the only one. One man preceded him very definitely, and that was William Jennings Bryan. tCheers.) We have been Is years catching up to Bryan. Bryan himself says he went in swimming and ROOse- welt stole his clothes. But why choose Woodrow Wilson instead of Theodore Roosevelt? Because Wilson is a more effective man in getting things done than JneOuOTe roosevelt. ' ueTe IS much to Wilson's credit in compari son of their respective records as gov ernors of New Jersey and New York. Wilson abolished the lobby in New Jersey in three months. but Roosevelt left it for Hughes to do in New York. After three months of Governor Will son in New Jersey the entire pre- election promises had been formulated into law. The pledges that Governor Wilson and the democratic house were elected on were carried out. The threat of ''pitiless publicity was made towards any democrats or republicans who might have opposed these meas ures. and everything was done in the open.
 Speaker Had to Leave. The speakers argument was cut short by a message that came that there was no speaker in New London and he was needed to hurry down there by automobile Before he left, however. he declared that the pro gressives were not offering a real tariff reform, bus the democrats were to make it possible to uncover special ! privileges and their tariff revision meant plain justice. with just as little disturbance to- business as possible. ! There were enthusiastic cheers for | Mir. AXsor as he concluded. shook hands with several on the platform and left the hall to go to New Lon
