LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Vote for Taft to Defeat Wilson.

Mir. Editor: If the reader of this
 letter hasn't got the Woodrow Wilson
 book and desires to know just what
 kind of things he said, matters in gen.
 eral in that book, he or she most cer-
 tainly should get a copy, read 1t, re-
 member 1t and tell his friend about it.
 In fact, make an endless chain of quo- tations from Woodrow Wilson's book. Old soldiers will certainly take great comfort in what he says on page 1S0:
 Both democratic house and republi- can senate Gin 1SS5) were inclined to grant any man or class of men who
 had served in the federal armies during the Civil war the right to be SUD- ported out of the national treasury, and MT. Cleveland set himself very
 resolutely to check their extrava gance."
 Now, my friends. that-as is slang fly said-"listens good." but why does
 MT. Woodrow Wilson stop there? Why
 not go a little farther and tell how i Grover Cleveland. aided by his rebel | lieutenant, Hokus Focus Smith, inn 1 n1ediately held up thousands of hon. est pensioners as if they were crim- inals and spent millions of dollars for an army of grafters to go about the country digging up evidence of fraud | the result being that Messrs. Cleveland and Smith spent millions of dollars and proved to the satisfaction of even | themselves that all-not part-but all : of those soldiers whose pensions were
 suddenly stopped were entitled to at ! least all they were getting? Do you, l my old soldier friend, want any more | of that business? Do you, my young ! patriotic friend, want to be one who adds to the burdens of those white | haired old heroes who are passing away at the rate of several every hour, | the ratio increasing instead of lessen | ing? Mr. Wilson said in the south. to hurt Champ Clark, that Clark voted I for the extravagant Sherwood bill, SD | of course he hasn't changed his mind since he wrote page 1S0 of his book. l If you live in Connecticut and wish to
 make your vote count as much as pos-
 sible towards defeating him, never
 mind how much you honor and admire | Teddy, never mind how strongly you l are in favor of socialism or prohibition, | the one and only way-in this state | to defeat the man who wrote page 1s0
 of Woodrow Wilson's book is to put an
 x in the circle meath the word Re publican.
 There appears to be one or two men
 left in this state who like to speak and | write once in a while about financial questions. In order to get those men
 close to Mir. Woodrow Wilson I will
 respectfully ask such-I am not now | hlludlng to man who sometimes
 shoots off lot of warm breeze about
 rotten financial conditions and then
 tells his neighbor he hasn't voted In E years-to read pages 143, IA and 145.
 Money (after the war; was more
 easy to get, the paper money of the Ltreasury, and could be used at its face
 value as well as gold itself to pay the
 mortgages off which the older time of stress had piled up, The greenbacks
 of the government became for the ag- rieultural regions of the north and , west 8 symbol of prosperity.
 Thoughtful public men say, never , theless, that the business interests oi
 the country rendered it imperative that
 specie payments should be resumed by the government, the redundant cur rency of the country contracted, anC money transactions put once more upon foundations that would hold fast"
