 'tOur colored friends I presume nisund erstood the facts'' said Gov Ternor Baldwin.

I believe in free speech and thought it would be destroying tn e great object of the conference if we could not talk, each one of us, with perfect freedom unaffected by fear of- censure, if we were in the minority.

NEWTOWN CLUB
 HEARS WILSON
Measures to Bring Government Closer to the People Dis
 cussed by Representa-
 tive-Elect
Especial to The Farmer.)

NewtoWn, Dec. 18.-Lynn w. Will son, representative-eIect from Bridge port, was the special guest of the Mems Literary Club of this place, last night The members of the club as- sembIed in the dining room of the Grand Central hotel and enjoyed a dinner.
 MT wilson talked to the club upon changes in the system of government in the United States. as they seemed to him to be indicated in the plat forms of the political parties and in contemporary legislation.
 MT. Wilson divided the measures in party platforms into 5 main groups, one of which, he said included meas ures for the development and con servation of the natural resources or the country, another, means for mak- ing life more secure to the average man, and the last a body of measures intended to bring the government nearer to the people.
 In the first group he included such enterprises as the Panama Canal, the great irrigation and water storage schemes of the west, and the general building of good roads.
 In the second group he placed Such measures as municipal ownership, the parcels post. the minimum wage, and the Worknen's compensation act.
 In. the Third group he placed direct primaries, popular election of United States Senator's votes for women, the initiative and referen dunn and the re- call for judges.
 Most of the time consumed by his remarks was taken up by g. considera- ton of the latter class of measures, which he said were demanded by the great majority of the people, as repre- scented by the political parties Sub- stantia11y all of the above proposals to make government more democratic were included in the Democratic, Pro- gressive Socialist and Prohibition Party programs, and in the state plat forms of a large portion of the Re- publican party.
 MT Wilson thought that direct pri- maries, initiative and referendum and votes for women, with popular cleo tion of United States senators might come from the General Assembly of Connecticut, this very year.
 Tn conclusion MT. Wilson said: TI dare say that some gentlemen present may doubt the wisdom of some of these changes which are Visibly soon to be made. I think we may take it for granted that nothing will be done that will not be in the largest sense for the best good of the people. Moth ing can be done. The Almighty created an instinct more powerful than mere mortal mind which makes always and continuously for the pres ervatlon of the whole group. Men, for the future and must continuously m owe toward that great unknown but supremely desirable goal which lies beyend.'' ,.ea-. sss-s
