The progressive spellbinders arrived in Westerly exactly as scheduled reaching Dixon square just as the hands on the clock of the Washington Trust company pointed directly up- wards. The speaking party came III the touring car bearing Connecticut registry plate 13855, owned by Ernest Walker Smith of Hartford, and con- tained besides the chauffeur Herbert Knox Smith of Hartford. former com missioner of corporations and candt- date for the governorship of Cpnnecti- cut; c. Warren Davis of Norwich, can- didate for congress against Bryan t. Mahan of New London and William A. King of Wil1imantic to represent the Second district; Elmer Chadwick of Old Lyme, candidate for state senator against Elias Hinckley of Stonington, and Frederick A. Johnson of Montville. In a second automobile, Connecticut registry 353S, were Charles B. Wheeler, owner of the car; John s. Rathbun, Norton Wheeler and Roscoe Burrows of Mystic. Thomas W. Ryley joined the party later, coming hence by ths Groton and Stonington trolley road. ot which he is superintendent.
 The Wheeler automobile stopped in front of the Rhode Island pharmacy, while the Smith automobile took po- sition in front of the postoffice site and served as the speakers platform. The occupants alighted except MT. Davis, who presided and made the opening speech. To attract attention he waved red handkerchief, not a bandanna, and commenced talking in a loud tone. Within a few minutes nearly one hundred persons had as- sembled. MT. Davis made a short speech espousing the progressive cause and praising the traits of character and political stability of Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of corpora tions under Roosevelt for six years and later under Taft. but who re- signed by reason of dissatisfaction with the Taft methods, whom he in- troduced as the next governor of Con- necticdt.
 Mir. Smith, after words of praise for Roosevelt and denunciation of Taft with a crack or two at Governor Bald win and Nominee Studley, told of the many reforms he would carry through when he became governor, assuring his hearers that he was sure of election.
 Mir. Davis next introduced Ernest Chadwick of Old Lyme.

get recognition to satisfy his ambition went back to the republicans and was given the nomination for state senator. His other opponent on the democratic side is Mir. Johnson of New London, whose democracy condemned him. Then MT. Chadwick spoke words of praise for Candidate Smith and switched off in a boom for MT. Davis for congress. He urged such of his hearers as were voters in Pawcatuca to vote for MT. Davis for congress and to get into the band wagon before the tail end of the procession passed, as MT. Davis would be surely elected, be- ing one of the best known men in the congressional district. MT. King, re- publican candidate, was out of the contest, he said, and the real fight was between Mir Davis, who would serve the whole district, including Pawca- tuck, while if Mir. Mahan was chosen he would concentrate all his efforts on his home town, and Pawcatuck would not know he was in congress except in name. Mahan would receive the votes of the leading republicans of New Lon don party committeeman and probably that of United States Senator Brande- gee and other republicans of prorni- , hence, but those outside of his own bailiwick would go to MT. Davis. Mir. Chadwick in closing said that a party to succeed must have a principle; that the democratic party had none, ana the republicans were so vacillatins that there was need for a real pro- gressive party.
 During the speaking Edwin F. Tut tie, chairman of the Rhode Island state central committee of the pro- gressive party, appeared and disclosed his identity. He was introduced by
 Mr. Davis and spoke of the need of progressiveness in Rhode Island poli- tics. He made bitter attack upon the political methods of Rhode Island and indulged in personalities against General Wilson and Congressman Ut- ter, who were subservient to machine rule and claimed they were not en-
 titled to the support of the people by reason of their emphatic endorsement of the Taft methods. MT. Futile spoke at length and his attack upon MT. Ut- ter in his home town received no en dorsing applause.
 At the conclusion of the rally Messrs. Smith, Davis and Chadwick were en- tertained at the home of DP. Edwin Whitford and the balance of the party dined at the Nixon house.
 At the conclusion of Mir, Smiths ad- dress he was introduced personally to many of those assembled, including several who were not affiliated with the bull moose movement blt who recognized the Sgentleman's marked ability.

NEVER LACKED FOR SOLDIERS

Brigadier General Robert K.
Evans says in the Army and Navy
Journal, told of meeting, just after
the Russo-Japan war a friend who
had been a military attache with
Oyama's army in the Manchurian
campaign. and asked him what had
been the most striking and note.
worthy incident that came to his
notice during the war. His reply
was: Without doubt it was
this: In the battle of Mnkden
noticed large bod. of troops on
the field whose presence l could not
account for from any inf rmation
in my possession. / rode over and
inquired who they were. / was
told, these are the reserves sent
from Japan to take the places of
the men who will be killed and
wounded in the next great battle"
And there they were on the field
while the battle was going on.
This is u most instructive Incl
dent, thought General Evans.
Here Oyama lost in a great battle
certain number of thouands of
men. +. next dav they were all
replaced by an equal number Of
trained, instructed and disciplined
men. The army was as strong
numerically as before the fight.
1t had probably game in efficiency
by the practical experience of the
officers snd men who had been
under fire and still remained in
the ranks.

.CLeWs AND
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS

Tie cUuntry's financial condition
is set forth as follows by Henry
Clews:
"All indications point to an
active money market this fall.
High but not stringent rates may
be ANTICIPATED. crop and trade re.
quirements alike being record
breaking. Interior banks are al
ready we'll loaned up and eastern
banks find their reserves much
reduced in the beginning of the
season. For some time past large
sums Of Canadian money have been
on deposit in New York. but these
are being withdrawn for similar
reasons to our own. Hence the
recent exports Of gold to Canada
which may be followed by other
shipments. Local money conditions
induced decline in foreign ex.
change and larger offerings Of
finance bills. Very shortly a larger
supply of cotton and grain bills
will be in evidence, 40 that Europe
will be in position to aid our
seasonal financial requirements.
Gold imports are already in pros
pect. Germany is not likely to get
much financial aid in New York this
season. Higher interest rates are
also having the effect of inducing
banks to lessen their holdings OF
high grade bonds. All things
considered, the monetary outlook is
satisfactory. Current demands
are merely for the purpose OF
satisfying legitimate requirements,
not undesirable speculation and
lenders at least will secure more
profitable rates.

HOW THEY 90 THINGS

A farmer living in one of the

we are informed. brought suit to
set aside lease he gave to an oil
company under rather unusual
terms. When the lease was being
signed up the leaseres assured the
farmer that, according to custom
they would give him one sixth Of
the oil production as his royalty.

ought to have a seventh anyway"
The astonished oil men quickly
agreed to this and, as proof that
their hearts we're right agreed to
give him an eighth, much to the
farmers satisfaction.
Since then the farmer mas re-
viewed his arithmetic and has
come to the confusion that he
wants to cancel the lease. The out

PUBLIC PULSE IN POLITICS

A travelling man who stopped off
the train this morning, like the rest
of the people. naturally turned to
politics. He stated that he had
made the State of Nevada and as
near as he could figure from
general conversation, this state
will GO democratic by big
majority, with Wilson and Marshal
way out in the lead. He also
stated that the Socialists will poll
a considerable vote. and the fight
between Roosevelt and Taft is q
close proposition. He also stated
that he was a republican and
would support Taft, but that he
considered his vote lost this year.
The travelling man is one worth
taking note of. He meets more
people in q week than the average
citizen does in year, and the
theme of conversation is that Of
the days events. Such s,atmeuts
coming as it did at the depot this
morning is most thoroughly in
touch with the public pulse and
tells the story Of the corning
election. - Carson Appeal.
