How Wilson Stands.

TOW wilson SrandS.
 MT. Editor: woodrow Wilson, caa- didate for president of the United States, under date of February 26, 1905, in speaking at the Peoples Fo- rum, New Rochelle, N. r.. said:
 Labor unions reward the shiftless and incompetent at the expense of the able and industffous,' and today the great democratic party asks the labor union members to support him for president.
 Again, on June 1S. 1909 in, his bac- calaureate sermon at Princeton uni versity, MT. Wilson, who at that time asNin 1905.z evidently had no. thought of appealing to the workingmen of America for their votes. gave expres- sion to the following:
 ''The labor of America is rapidly becoming unproftable under it's pres- ,ent regulation by those who have de- termined to reduce it to minimum Our economic supremacy may be lost because the country grows more and more full of unprofitable serv- ants"
 And still democratic speakers ask members of labor unions to support him for president. V.
 On page 213 of Woodrow Wilson's book he says .The Chinese are more to be desired as workmen if not cit izens than most of the coarse crew that came crowding in every gate"
 In speaking ,of Andrew Jackson, one of democratcy's patron saSAts, on page 1S0 of his book, Woodrow Wilson says: His (meaning ClevelagD quality wal as unmistakeable as General Jacksofi's s and xya ho hod AP ~ T. Fson's blind impetuosity or mere vii. fitness"
 On page 142 he speaks of railroat men and miners in 1877 as "not)only idle but bent on mischief.% On pag, 127 he accuses the farmers, allianc, members of having crude and ignor. ant minds" and so on and on we car read and quote by the hour iron Woodrow Wilson's book, but just a present-his speeches are more inter. esting.
 No man ever nominated for higi office byl the people of the Unite. States ever did more or said more il so short time to prove his entire in, competency, as far as groping witt great questions and handling such bodies as the United States senate ant | a deinocratic house of representatives Ever since he has been before tn, public he has proved himself to be al aristocrat, not in any manner or forn interested in anything or any peopl but those of his own ilk.
 As buster of trusts he now pose before great audiences of American people. but for two years as governo of New Jersey. the land of trusts, no a word has he said against them. As an enemy of political bosses h forgets >Taggart, he forgets Roge Sullivan, he don't even know of ''Ho \ mer of Stamford. and never yet ha he raised his voice against Murph, of New York. Oh. yes. Woodrow vii son is against bosses, but 1t make considerable difference whether tn boss had anything to do with his no,n nation of not, whether or no he de nouhces them!
 Read his book, read his speeche. and there will be no danger of Wood row Wilson coming any nearer car rying this state than there is of F F. Mahan 5of New London carryin the town of Thompson.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Licensing the Milkmen.


 ~vMr. Editor The ordinance relat- ing to the sale and inspection o1 mnh, ordained by the court ,of connoaa a printed daily the past week Tn tne legal notice column of The Bulletin, don't seem to harmonize in some sec tions with the laws of the state, ana the vested rights of the milkmen. Section I of said ordinance says: No person shall sell milk within the city of Norwich without first obtaining a license therefor, and section makes the fee fifty cents to be paid the city clerk for the use of said city.
 2 Now. by an act'passed by the legis- lature of the state and approved Aug ust 12. 1909, concerning the licensing of peddlers, section 1 says: Towns may make such reasonable bylaws, not repugnant to the laws of the state, with reference to the vending or hawking upon their public streets of any goods, wares, or other merchant disc at public or private sale or auc- tfon, or to the vending or peddling of such articles of merchandise from house to hj1se within their limits as they may deem expedient. including the imposition of a reasonable license fee for the right to- vend. hawk or peddle such merchandise. Section 2 of the same act says: This act shall not apply to sales by farmers and gardeners of the produce of their farms and gardens or to the sale. dis tributions and delivery of ice, milk, teas, coffee, spices, groceries, meats, and bakery goods. or to conditional sales of ,mercf1andise.
 The above mentioned act fof August 12, 1909. has never been repealed.
 The last act of the legislature con- corning the adulteration, inspection, and sale of milk, approved By that body August 30. 1911. gives no author ity4.to the common council to impose Ia license fee on the milkmen. Sec tion 16 of the act says the common council may probibit the sale of milk within city limits except by such per- sons as- shall register their names, residence, and number in a book, kept for the purpose at the office of the city clerk. The clerk shall receive for eachlname' so registered 15 cents from the treasury of the city.
 Now, will some smart Aleck show by what sort of hocus pocus proceed ings tha/common council can set them selves up above the legislature of the state and flim-flam license fee of fifty cents out of the pockets of the milkmen?
