 Great crowds turned out at Springfield Barre and Fall River, where the govern or made scheduled speeches but along the way his reception was practically con tinuous. The crowd pressed to the rear of the train and stretched their hands upward to him, wishing him success. Cries for buttons. were insistent and the governor himself helped pass them from the train.
 The nominee covered variety of topics in his speech, including the tariff. dues- tons affecting monopoly, and government al assistance to farmers. At the county fair at Barre he made a brief speech. al- lotting most of his time to shaking hands Hesaid tonight he felt deeply pleased al the friendship he had struck up with the people
 The governor reached Fall River on a special train at TAO tonight.
 Fireworks and torches illuminated the streets as Governor Wilson motored to tho hall. where he spoke for near ly an hour to an enthusiastic crowd,
 Only Democrats Harmonious
 At the outset of his speech he set forth that the democratic party was the only organized team" ready to gov ern the country and that neither the republican nor progressive parties would control Congress in any event He predicted that in all probability there would be democratic House and democratic Senate and added that the leaders of the third party If elected, would be "as unsuccessful a the pres ont President of the United States"
 T mean no disrespect," said the gov ernor "but all the measures passed by both Houses and intended for the voters and buyers of the country have been vetoed our President occupies a post of resistance, for he hasn't any team, and the only President you can associate with team Is a democratic President l don't know what kind of q captain l would make. I'm not going to pretend that the democratic Presi- dent will be successful. All I can say Is that he will have a team"
 He added that the country, unless electing a democratic executive. would face two or four years more of dis agreement with the legislative branch of the government" and that if the progressive party won there might be "an interesting four years. but not fruitful"
 Outlining the democratic programme, he argued that none except the demo- cratic platform showed an intention of assisting organized labor. He declared that in the matter of organization. la bor had an equal right with capital, and that industries protected by the tariff had been most persistent Tn fighting organized labor.
 Governor Wilson and party left Fall River at 93O o'clock for Boston.
