the high Office OF President Of the United
States the democratic Governor of Con-
necticut. Simeon E. Baldwin.
Connecticut for the second time in its
history is urging upon the national con-
vention Of the democratic party the NOM
ination Of Connecticut man for the
presidency.
Connecticut is of little territorial con-
sequence in the vast empire that spans
this continent. But small though she is.
she is larger than little Attica, out Of
which came the great lawgivers. philoso-
piers. poets and orators Of the ancient
world. Her population is small as well
as her territory. but it exceeds the COM
bined population OF the five western states
OF Idaho. Montana, Nevada, Utah and
Wyoming. Connecticut does not cast a
large vote in the electoral college, but
as Connecticut has voted SO has gone
the Union. Never but once since 1855
has the candidate for the presidency who
has carried Connecticut failed to carry
the country. That one exception was in
1883, when that great democrat. Grover
Cleveland, carried Connecticut and lost
the presidency.

Party Is United, and Militant.


The democratic party is essentially a
party of the people because it is the peo-
pie. 1t has fought a long, hard battle,
when 1t seemed that night would never
end and that day would never dawn; but
the battle in the interest of the rights of
the people they have continued to make
until we see the common enemy, the
once great republican party, divided, dis
tracted and torn asunder, while democ-
racy is united and militant
There are two records that will be
presented to the American people in the
coming campaign for their consideration

with promises betrayed arrogantly, de-
family betrayed and the other Is the

The republican party itself, recognize
ing that President Taft had been unfaith-
fal to the great mass of Americans, re-
fused by an honest majority of the con-
vention to renominate him, and 1t was
only brought about by the most whole

seating OF delegates honestly elected that

ties.
Republicans Betrayed Promise"
The republican party, flushed with
many victories, imperious as tyrant, un-
needing the demands of the people, took
the reins of the government in 1908 under
the solemn promise that they would re-
wise the tariff in the interest of the con-
sumner. Instead of keeping this promise
as they should have done, because it was
their bond of honor, they betrayed it.
They raised the tariff higher than ever
before. until 1t reached its maximum OF
protection. being AZ per cent
The story of this base BETRAYAL is
known to all men. The democratic party
appealed on their record in the Sixty
first Congress upon the Payne Aldrich
tariff bill to the American people, and we
received from them a verdict of guilty
against the republican party and the be-
stowal of power upon ourselves How
faithfully We have kept our promises to

WIFE Of THE PRESIDENT
HEARS HIM CRITICISED

BALTIMORE. June 2s.-Mrs William

the United States. sat in the private box
or Mrs. Norman E. Mack at the conven-
ton yesterday and heard many harsh
Things said about her husband. She
laughed several times when the speakers

used to the little filings which they hurl
at my husband. You know, they hate

Is their main chance to retaliate."
Sitting next to Mrs. Mack, Mrs Taft
was conspicuous figure. although her
presence was not known to many in the
audience. She came to Baltimore as the
guest OF MIR. and Mrs. Hugh G. Wallace,
the former being a delegate to the con-
vention from the State of Washington
Mrs. Taft was entertained at the Balti-
more Country Club in the afternoon and
returned for the night session, which she
enjoyed even more than her first expe-
rience.
In Mrs Taft's party were Misses Mil
dred Aubrey and Nellie Pattea.

Mrs Taft was within the sound Of his
voice and almost upon the same plat
form with him. Still nobody told him that
she was there. and he proceeded relent-

about the President. Mrs. Taft looked a

chairman made this statement:
Teddy said that he was sorry that he
had stood sponsor for Taft, as the latter
had failed so miserabiy. 1 think the peo-
pie of this country do not care anything
about his sponsorship and have no faith
in IT.
The vetoing Of democratic measures
by the President also gave Mr.. James an
opportunity to say some pretty plain"
things about the chief executive, and he
minced no words. Mrs. Mack smiled at
