DONOVAN BARES TO THE WORKERS HILL HYPOCRISY Four Hundred Employees of East Side Factories Stand
 in Gold Wind to Hear
 Candidate. LOBBYISTS KEEN FOR
 E. J. HILLS SUCCESS Hill As Owner. of Norwak Trolley Line Advocated
 10 Cent Fares.

In a cold and cutting wind 400 workingmen stood at Barnum avenue and Helen street to see and hear Con gressman Donovan, who addressed them briefly and invited them to at- tend the Saturday night rally when he will talk on the tariff
 The congressman called attention of his hearers that the followers of Wall street wanted Hill returned.
 That every man in the state who ever attempted to corrupt the Con necticut legislature wants Hill re- turned to Congress.
 That every lobbyist in the State Wanta Hill returned to Congress
 That during the eighteen years that Hill held office his voice was never raised in the interest of a proposition that directly benefited the wage earn er
 Tn the car with the Congressman were Former Repr resentative William w. Bent and Commissioner Richard Fl. Murphy, of the Board of Educa- ton.
 MT. Bent introduced the Congress- man as a man whom they all knew by his acts, and whose first term in Congress had made his a national fig ure, and made it possible for tho cleo torate Of the 4th district of Connecti-
  who sent a man of plain people to Congress. who felt with the plain people, and who worked for the plain people.
 MT. Donovan said in part: ''I am here perhaps for a, selfish purpose dfdate of the Democratic party for Congress.
 T picked up a morning newspaper, published in your town today and it calls to your attention that Mr. Hill in the 8 years that he was in Con- gress secured the sum of S1,776, 600 for Improvements here in this dis trtct. That sounds big on, paper, but permit me to say that if MT. Hill was as big a man in Congress as he would have you believe that he is that he would have been able to get as much in any one year as he did in the whole 18 years.
 s'If MT. HiIPs ability to get less than $2,000,o0O for the entire county of Fairfield with it's manufactures and commerce of world wide. importance is something to encourage you to vote for Hill want to call your attention to a speech made in 1912 at New Lon don by J. Hanspton Moore. a Repub- Hcan memser of Congress. He said with the same population as Connecti- cut received $8,s00, 0oO for harbor inn provements. That was Republican Congress and in that same year all Of Connecticut received $41e, e,6O0, about one nineteenth as much. The same year the state of Oregon, with less population received $2,410,O0O.
 Giving this great man, MT. Hill. credit for getting the entire appro- priation for Connecticut in 1910 he will have to admit that these North western states were getting many times as much in one year from the Federal funds as he (FIi1D) was get ting for our district in 8 years.
 MT. Donovan also talked on Mir. Hills attitude toward the public as 8 street railroad owner in Norwalk where he charged a ten cent fare for the people to get from one end of the town to the other, and, Of lack of sup port from Hill in Norwalk in any ef- fort to secure a low price of e1ectri- city or gas for lighting purposes. The Congressman was well received and the rally was one of the best that has been held in the open air during the present campaign.
