Shower Lumber On Old Uncle Sam
Canada Sent $27, 345 2o6 Worth Across Line in Last
Fiscal Year


WASHINGTON, Oct. 31-Officia statistics
gathered by the United States government, and by
the Canadian government at Ottawa, show that Sena-
tor Chamberlain mistaken when in recent
speeches he endeavored to show that the Oregon
market had not been invaded by lumber from Can
ada and it further appears that the export of lumber
from Canada to the United States according to Cana
dian figures, is even greater than is shown by the
United States department of commerce.
From the official Canadian report it appears
that in 1915 Canada shipped to this country
lumber worth 500 279 S91, and in 1916 Fiscal year,
had increased its exports to $27,345. 236.
The Canadian figures further show that in 1915
Canada shipped to this country shingles valued at
$2,945159 and in 1916 shingles valued at $3619,4O9
Since 1912, when there a duty of SOC thousand
the imports of Canadian shingles have increased than
three fold until last year they amounted to 1876 carloads
equivalent to 296 tranloads of thirty each practically
tranload day for every working day in the year.
IF Canada had not sold these shingles Washington
would have sold them. Every man, and child in
this state suffered directly indirectly from this banefu
effect of Democratic free tradehe farmer the business
man, the manufacturer-all!

TARIFF BUCAB00
NAILED BY BIC
DRY GOODS man
Leonard Claims New York
Herald Refused to Pub
lish His Letter.

New York, Nov. 2.-In- last des-
perate effort to create an issue which
will not react upon them, the Hughes
managers, with unlimited Wall Street
funds at their disposal, are flooding
the newspapers of the country with
page advertisements advocating a
monopoly tariff, yet they resist every
effort to discuss the tariff problem on
a fair and sane basis. An illustra-
ton of this attitude on their part is
furnished by the experience of James
T. Leonard, president of James T..
Leonard & Co., the largest buyer Of
dry goods in the United States.
Mr.. Leonard, who has been all his
life a Republican, sent letter to the
New York Herald on Oct 20 in which
he corrected some Of the numerous
tariff misstatements which have been
finding their way into the campaign.
His sole purpose, Mr.. Leonard pointed
out, was to clear the situation. Again,
on Oct. 25. Mr.. Leonard wrote to The
Herald, suggesting the importance of
the matter discussed by him, and
again requesting that his IettAr b.

published He received a reply from
the Herald on the same day, acknow-
led<>g receipt of his tariff letter of
October 20, but up to this time that
letter has not appeared in print in
The Herald, which is supporting
Hughes.
Mr.. Leonard in his suppressed let
ter to The Herald said that, There
is not an item in the dry goods trade
to-day that any manufacturer would
like to have any more protection on.
Times never were SO prosperous in
the dry goods trade as the are to-
day"
In his second letter, Mr.. Leonard
said:
r II note several campaign speeches
by the Republicans regarding the
enormous flood of goods that will
come from Europe after war. When
they make these statements, it is only
to deceive the people and not to tell
them the truth, as every dry goods
buyer knows that there is not s~sf-
plus Of any single item in Europe
which is connected with dry goods or
department store wants"

YOUNG SOCIALIST
LEADER ENDORSES
SIDENT WILSON
Ernest Poole of New York
Wants to See Wilson
Elected Because of Past
Acts.

New York, Nov. 2.-Ernest Poole,
widely and popularity known as a nov
elist of merit and one of the younger
leaders among the Socialists, has
come out for President Wilson. In 4
statement issued to-day, he said:
although / am a Socialist-or
rather because [ am one-I want to
see Wilson elected this fall. Although
I have always until now stood against
any break away from our ticket, I
have come to feel that this time the
Immediate crisis is too acute, and
that for the moment above all else
we must elect Wilson instead of
Hughes. For I feel innt this country a
rising tide of strong and aggressive
mperialism-perhaps too strong for
any political party to check. But Will
son at least is against it. In him is
our one Immediate hope.
II don't say that his record has
been perfect. But I like his Eight
Hour Law. the Federal Bank Reserve
and the Rural Credit bills. And still
more I like his holding out against
our big American property interests
in Mexico.
IT believe that the Socialist party
is but on the threshold Of it's life.
But in the meantime-now-thi year
i hope that thousands Of Socialist
votes will be cast for Woodrow Will
son."

PRAISES WILSON
RURAL LOAN ACT
Eliminates Notorious Evils
of Old Mortgage Borrow
ing System.

New York, Nov. 2.-Orange Judd
Farmer, probably the most influential
farm journal in the United States and
noted for it's conservatism and strict
ly non-partisan policy, in the current
issue, ,under date of November 4, un-
der the caption, "a Partisan Error"
editorially says:
'Never was apathy SO prevalent in
presidential campaign as during the
past two months. Party workers do
not understand such apathy and are
well-nigh frantic over it. Hence the
tactical mistakes some of them are
making. For instance, the Republi-
can national committee has spread
broadcast among farmers a loosely
worded anonymous pamphlet attack
ing the federal farm loan act. Yet
that bill passed senate without a dis
senting vote, while in the house only
II voted against. It is as nonpartisan
measure as is possible under the
American political system. 1t is per-
haps the most fundamental legislation
ever enacted in behalf of the Ameri-
can farmer. OF course, no one has
claimed that it was perfect, but the
wonder is that this law was enacted
at all. Having been thus overwhelm-
ingly. defeated, the money power"
now seaks to "come back" through
partisan attacks upon this new stat
ute.
"In effect the pamphlet appeals to
farmers to reject without trial the
new system, which offers long loans
at reasonable rates, and recommends
perpetuating old method Of mortgage
borrowing with all it's notorious
evils! The pamphlet also favors a
plan for short-time personal loans,
the true inwabdness of which us 10
per cent. or IS per cent. dividends
for the shareholders! How such
anonymous attacks misconstrue the
real situation, is. proven by the great
interest farmers show in the federal
farm loan act.''

Worries Republicans.

washington, Nov. Like many in
dependent newspapers in the east, the
Washington Post acknowledges the
overwhelming drift of public senti-
ment to President Wilson. 1t says to-
day editorially:
when Ohio gives signs Of going to
Wilson by a heavy plurality, it is not
surprising that the Republicans are
worried.~
when New York waivers in it's sup
port of it's own son ar every esti-
mate comedies that Wilson is gain
ing, there is good reason for the Re-
publican leaders to redouble their
eleventh hour activities.
when Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana,
Connecticut, West Virginia, New Jer-
sey and Montana are giving more COM
fort to the Democrats than to the Re-
publicans, and WHEN Arizona. Colora-
do, Missouri, Nebraska and Nevada are
practically fixed in the Wilson column,
the trepidation of Mr.. Hughes man
ayers can be we'll understood. The
history of previous elections does not
disclose any case in which the last
week of a campaign upset all that has
gone before, or even materially alter
ed the trend of public opinion.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES Want {
Civil SERVICE Law, REPEALED :.
BY The REPUBLICANS, RESTORED

Professor Henry W.. Farnam OF
Yale, President of the Connecticut
Civil Reform association, has received
several replies to his letter to nom1-
nees for members of the General AS
sembly, asking them whether, if elect
ed, they will exert their influences to
the return to the principles of civil
service in the state. The majority OF
those who have to date sent replies
are Democrats, and all indicate that
they will do their utmost. II elected,
to secure a return to the principles
Of the original bill.
One Republican, Howard B. futile,
of Naugatuck, nominee for senator
for the fourteenth district, said that
he is opposed to making promises, but
it could be assumed from his Opposi-
ton to the amendment of 1915, that
his present attitude toward any
emasculation of the bill would be one
Of opposition.
Those who have answered Profess
sor Farnam's letter are Senator
Stephen Whitney, of New Haven,
candidate for senator from the eighth
district; George M. Landers, candi-
date for senator from New Britain;
Howard B. futile, Naugatuck, can
didate for senator from the fourteenth
district; P. B. O'Sulli4an of Ansonia,
candidate for senator from the seven
teenth district; Henry S. Stevenson,
Somers, candidate for senator from
the thirty-fifth district; William A.
Seymour, East CRANKY, seventh sena-
torial district candidate; James r.
May, New London; Rollin U. Tyler,
Deep River, thirty-fourth senatorial
district nominee; w. f. Kirchberger,
Thomaston,S and John E. Doughan,
eleventh senatorial district, New Ha-
ven; William Vollmer, candidate for
senator twenty-sixth district, South
Norwalk.
Senator Whitney says in the course
Of his answer: IT was entirely OPP
posed to the action taken by the Re-
publicans at the last session Of the
legislature, whereby they amended
the civil service law in such manner
as to practically take all the good fea-
lures out of the law as it then exist
ed, and merely leave most artificial
and practically valueless substitute in
it's place. I would be only too glad
of 1913 or one of similar nature again
placed on the statute books"
George M. Landers simply states
that he will exert his influence in
favor Of a return to the principles of
1913, which he supported in that ses-
sion.

senator, says: when I became
