 Whaddya think of that?' The rest of President Fay's speech is in the following, manuscripts of which were furnished to representa- tives of the press:
 Eight InterrogatiOns. When they put us off the Park, did they consider us. did they care whether you or the little ones at home starved to death or not? s
 What was their object in not giv- ing us another stand?
 Why did they make us keep 'on the move for over three months?
 When they drove us off our stand by force, there was no Ordinance.
 They told us we didn't pay for a license. We were willing to pay. They had the power to make us, why didn't they?
 "How was it they gave us stand after we hired a lawyer, couldn't they have given us the same stand the day they put us off the Park?
 Why was one of our members ar rested? Why were we all threatened with arrest? Why did some of them go out of their way to keep us on the move?
 Why did they stop giving us city work nearly three years ago? Ask yourself these eight questions, brothers and see if your conscience will bother you for enrolling as a republican.
 Vote for Republican Mayor.
 Brothers and friends, as election day is only two weeks away, I want to impress upon your minds what this organization expects and demands of every man, of you we expect you, first, to go to the republican city caucuses and vote, second: We not only want your vote on election day, but we want to have you induce your father, your sons and your friends as we'll to vote the way you are going to. Re- member men, 10 votes kept George Hull from becoming mayor of Bristol three years ago, and on the other hand don't forget that Mayor Donovan of Meriden won on ten votes last fall, and always bear in mind that your vote no matter how humble you may he, counts just as much as the biggest mans in the city. We are not go- ing to ask you to vote for any one only the head of the republican ticket. you can split the rest of your ticket any way you see fit, use your own Judgment. There are going to be good men running on the democratic ticket for the smaller offices, they are worthy of your vote and if you are a dem ocrat, give it to them, We have nothing against any of them, but the man that heads the democratic ticket. Personally he has not done us any wrong, but the men he puts in office have, they are our enemies, and in order to get them we have got to get the man that put them in office, and we are going to too, don't forget that the democrats are going to get swamped under this election, they haven't got a 'Chinaman's chance of winning" r. -.s
 John Sauter. the next speaker, crit icized the enemies of the expressmen for trying to put them out of bus mess. He urged them to go to the caucus and cast their ballots for MT Steele.
 James Sheridan sang a song and then MT. Steele was introduced by the Hon. "Tippy' as "a prince of good fellows" =. Candidate SteeIe's Speech.
 MT. Steele spoke as follows:
 Tt is indeed a pleasure to me to- be granted the privilege of coming
 
 given an opportunity to briefly state my ideas in regard to our city gov ernment. It is not my intention, or my purpose, to criticise any of the past experiences of the city govern ment. My only aim is the future, and what I will do If the voters of New Britain see fit to place me in the mayors chair. ~.
 After fifteen years experience in the city government, I feel that it is in no way egotistical for me to say that can appre- ciate the needs of the city far more than people who have not had these experiences. Therefore, gentle men. say that the city of New Brit ain wants a business administration, and if elected I shall give a business administratiop without fear or favor, and shall use the office of mayor for the best interests, as I see it for each and every taxpayer and citizen of New Britain. sr .r.
 Business Man, No Orator.
 ''It has been said, and justly so, that l am not an orator, but I do claim to be business man, having made success of every business I have undertaken. I earnestly believe that the people placed on the differ ent commissions of the city should be considered from their experience and ability, and not by their political pull or financial standing. Therefore. gentlemen. if you are looking for a business administration for your city, and run on the same principles as our successful industries have been built up from their very foundations, vote for me, but if on the other hand if you are looking for an ad- l ministrat tion by someone who will
