CONNOLLY AT MAN
/; 5is IS CHESTER, ,55

Last Friday was Democratic Day
at the MaIlvnesters CARNIVAL, and III
s.wealner was more disasreeaDle,
/ possuvae, than on the two preceedint
days. It rainea SO nara in The morn
ing that Governor ;BurAe, wnoa5wa:
u aiy1de time with Mr. Connolly
ialiau 70 MAKE his train connection
i,,a' Cedar kapids, and was not pres
ient. put neither the weather nor the
failure OF the Governor; inJuriousi,
terfeeleo MT. Connoly's meeting
winch was held at the Court HOUSE
Ia The AFTERNOON. fractically every
seat Was fuaed with an attentive lis
Flener, and ar. Connoily's speech elic'
lre4.worus OF praise from Republicans
as swu as Democrats.
Mir. Connolly is a scholar and $ q
genceuan, and he indulgea in no per
sonanrles Or offensive criticisms.
He briefly reviewed Congressman
PickettB record in Eonsress, and ask
N those wnt STOOD for the things
that Mr. ricxett favored to vote to
continue him In office.
Mr.. Connolly AAue many good
points, too many to even mention
S.hem ~ in i this snort article. he'
cal4ed attention to the fact that the
present House OF Representative was
largely democratic, and that the next
11ouse was likely to have a Stall
greater democratic majority; and IN
view Of that fact he contended that
mis- district had more to gain by
electing a democratic congressman
chan II would by re-electing alr. PICK
EFT; tnat a democratic congressman
would be in a position to: do more for
lnes district than a republican, con-
gressman could.
Gle OF Mr. Connony's best points
was the manner in which he answer
ed the scare crow argument INDUCED
IN by some republican speakers anu
Jews papers. He showed that the high
ur1S.s OF farm products were que to
..arursl causes rather than to any
Thing that has happened during Mr.
Iafl's administration. He called at
tentIon to the census reports OF 1881,
1903 and 1910, and showed that TAX
ING the country as whole, farm
.An..s and farm products had mcreas
ID more during the ten years from
1890 to 1900 than they had from l9oo
"a 1910. From the same reports he
showed, that whNe the population OF
this country had Increased neary oo
per cent. during the twenty years III
question. there had been a decline IN
i've stock. The decline in the num-
Ter. Of cattle during that period was
900, 900 and sheep 100000. and the
increase in the number Of hogs was
only a few thousand.
This increase in population ana DE-
crease in farm products explains why
farm products are high, and they Will
continue to be high no matter "ne
IS elected president.
Mr.. Connolly indulged in no hlgn's
Of oratory, but at times he spoke o.
hone and country so kindly and pa
thetically that tears formed In the
eyes Of many.
We think that prominent repupli
can who was present correctlS
stated the results Of the speech wheh
he said: "Mr. Connolly may not re-
c@,ive the votes OF all, but he certain
