Norwich bulletin., 1916-11-04

SEN. GEoRPE P. MCLEAN
 sometime be turned across the water | towards rich America. | Let us look at our title deed. Our
 forefathers bought it from the Indian ! by lead in the form of bullets. Later we bought it from King George at the point of the fife, and still later the | boys in blue bought it with leaden bullets. My friends, if this is the only
 way in which America can be saved, 1 then it must be saved in thae way.
 Is Man of Peace.
 I am man of peace; I abhor war
 But what are we going to do if peace and righteousness are attacked and
 we have not the tools to defend? We
 have got to face the question squareIy. The man who is opposed to proper preparedness is the kind of man
 who would not let a farmer have paris
 green to kill the bugs on his potato
 vines for fear that he would get into the habit of eating it himself.
 What have our friends, the demo-
 crats. done for our navy? They
 brought in a unanimous bill for the
 building of two-supply ship-I In
 1912 our navy stood second in the
 world. In 1913 it stood third Now it
 is nowhere.
 The Mexican Situation.
 My opponent is going about the state
 telling you how sweet it is to have the boys come back safe from Mexi- co. will demonstrate to you in less than two minutes that if the right man had been in the White House it would never have been necessary to
 send them to Mexico. If the presi- dent had taken the advice offered those events in Mexico would never have l happened, and there would have been , no need to send the boys to Mexico. l It is astonishing to me that a pres } ident refuses to take good advice and l it is just that which characterizes his policy with foreign countries.
 Could Sink Our Whole Navy. A few days ago a warship ran the gauntlet of the allied fleets, sailed for , three thousand miles under water, ] picked out an American port, smiled a few minutes on Uncle Sam and on the , road home sank six merchantmen. Suppose that instead of one, fifty of these warshipS come over here, from E we know not where. Why they could sink every battleship we have in a 2 night and could collect from our coast al city such sums as they felt inclined to demand. That is why we need a party in power that will build up our D navy.
 : Trade in England Dead. T It took Germany three years with z the aid of two thousand experts so s frame her latest protective tariff z the British parliament admit today that free trade in England is dead and , must remain dead if England is to con- - tinue to live. The allies have already published to the world their determ- | ination to control the trade of neu- U trals upo ntheir own terms if ulti- r mate victory should be theirs. The 6 Central Powers have already formed
 a customs union which will compel 5 the neutral nations to come to it's a | terms.
 vv Up in a Balloon Now.
 We are up in balloon, just now
 1 among the stars, sailing around the
 moon. But the gas in the balloon is 1, war gas and the instant the cannons s stop roaring the balloon will stop soar e ing and the men in it will walk home T and walk bock-Senator Mclean did not finish the sentence for the audience n saw the point)
 r What do the people of Connecticut t expect to get witt the president of the
 United States still against protection q he asked. He said he could sympathize U l indeed, with the man who has to look :, through the smoke ana grind of daily e toll to the little home he expects to e lave beyond.
 s, Roosts For Migratory Workmen7 7. My opponent is going about the ?, state saying that I got through mi. = gratoroy bill-providing roosts for mi It gratory birds. An awful indictment e isn't it? I want to say that if the $ present administration goes back II n power, you people in Norwich will bt 'f looking for roosts for migrator1 y In speaking of the Adamson bill tht o speaker said-My friends at the bench tt you know what you want-you wan e an eight hour day that is an eigh $ hour day. You know this bill didnt
 give an eight hour day; it simply rais
 ed the wages.
 President Wilson said the railroad s matter couldn't be aroftrated and Il, H las already appointed the arbitrators 7. It couldn't be arbitrated a few months ', before election, but it must be arbitrat A ed few months after election. le Have Stolen Republican Eggs. s The democrats have stolen republi a can eggs from republican nests and il ,t most instances they have stepped ol the eggs.
 It With reference to the Child Labo l. Law he said-It has been stated that s l "ducked" my vote on the Child Labo W law. When the roll was called upoi '- the Child Labor Bill it was publicl. l. announced from the floor that I, i
 present, would vote yea I was hom
 aL the IlIQe because OE Lne very SerlOu e illness in my family. I took particu1a ,- pains to assure myself that the bil j.; would pass by very large majorit. l. | without my vote.

You have a! ,f a leader a man in whom is combined "a the qualities of all these great pres " idents and he Is Charles Evan ny Hughes.
