 WILL PUSH SUIT

Aa- Il read the aII1QaV1Cs or Mr. BSaIQ to correct the impression he intended to convey, and to satisfy the public that he had worked in the lobby for the railroad and against the Public Utilities. bill. He has admitted that he tried to induce Mir Beard to vote for the Banks amendment osthe Jud- son bill, and this clearly places him in the category of those who worked for inc railroad and against the interest
 Of the people,. The Banks amend-
 me1t, if adopted, would have takeE the teeth out of the bill, and satis- fled the railroad. Hon. Stiles Jud-
 son is entitled to the credit of the
 people of this state for the splendid
 fight he made for them in the passage
 of the Public Utilities bill. and I trust
 that measure may abide as a fitting monument to him.
 The business men Of the state are also entitled to much credit for this 1egislation. It WAS really their meas h1re, and they obtained many pre-elec- tIegisIature which served to keep them in line, and they took steps to see that | the law was enacted. Mir King op- posed the measure in the interest of the railroad, and when he found that
 the Judson bill was likely to be pass ed. he tried to take the teeth out of it by means of the so-called Banks Amendment
 T welcome the cause of action which MT. King has brought against Mir. Beard and myself, for it will enable me to establish in a. court of Justice, MT. Kings connection with the lobby, ana incidentally Judge Fillmore s.
 to make 1t Impossible for MT. King to
 fool the peof4e in the future. and to use his influence as a party boss in l the service of special interests
 The Progressive party is waging a. light against bossism all along the 1 line, and we are asking every man who believes in political freedom. to support our cause at the polls tomor- row.
 MT King is in politics for his own pocket. For years he has had a fat garbage contract with the city Of Bridgeport, and I am told that his
 horses are employed by the city for reading to publish the figures which show Just how much money MT. King receives every year from the city of
 Bridgeport, and what services he rem
 ders for the same.
 The Morning Telegram Of October a31st published an address made by MT. King in which he said:
 The State of Conn ecttcut today, in its finances is suffering more from The question of taxation, and I now charge that John gI Light framed
 opinions for the finance committee in
 the Last two sessions of the Legisla- ture, in the absolute behest of the general counsel of the New Haven road,s
 This statement is unqua1idedly false, and it is malicious and s1ander- out, and clearly actionable. pro- pose to call upon MT. King for re- traction. In the same address MT.
 King said I refused to contribute to the campaign fund when I was non1- mated for Attorney General This
 the State Republican committee by check, and have the voucher to prove what say. was told that this sum was the amount contributed by two of
 my predecessors.
 sMr. King also said I tried to form a County Republican organization, and
 asked him to become the head of it.
 It is true that I suggested at pub lie meeting that it might be advan- tageous to form a County organizai on,
 but I never suggested that MT. King should become the head of it. That statement is not only false. but ridic-
 uIous, in view of the relationship which has been existing between MT.
 King and myself He and have always been opposed to each other, and he voted against my nomination
 in the Republican convention four years ago. He and stand for a
