 A PROCLAMATION
 It is fair world in which our lines have been cast and few parts of it are fairer than this little state of ours. If it lacks grandeur of others noun tains or the limitless expanse of others prairies, yet here is a wonder ful mingling of wooded hills, green meadows and well-watered valleys. And if the wild life about them has not the brilliant cOloringS of tropic lands, yet our birds are beautiful and their songs are sweet. We are apt to forget how much an understanding of these things can add to the rich ness of our lives and what a duty we owe to those who follow us to pre- serve for them the benefits we may so freely enjoy. It takes but a moment to fell tree, it takes years to replace

abolfshing the endorsement plan. He then introduced Chairman Judge w. F. Mangan.
 Judge w. F. Mangan.
 Judge Mangan said it was pleasure for him to be on the plat form of a. meeting presided over by MT. Relyea, whom he had seen pre- siding over when he (Mangan) was a boy and who had not lost any of his old time spirit. Touching on the remarks of tn echairman about en- dorsing republicans on the ticket, Judge Mangan said that the recent convention was an open meeting where any democrat had the right and privilege to run for office or to place the name of any man he thought fit for the place. Members of the town committee had worked hard to secure available candidates, but due to the records of the men holding office cn the republican ticket there was some pessimism on the part of the men approached toward making the fight. The speaker urged the for nation of a club in the second ward, thereby assistint in a large manner in making the city democratic at the next election.
 Judge Mangan said it was interest ing to him to read the republican papers of the speeches made by the mayor and a few of shis cahorts es- pecially where the asinine remarks are made about the finance board Eeing responsible for the tax rate.
 "Your mayor has told you that this board is composed of demcrats as we'll as republicans, and the party is as much to blame as the administra- tion,' said Judge Mangan. "When he tells you that, it is an admis- sion of the fact that the tax rate is not right" he said.
 The speaker said that the finance board to which Mayor Quigley and Senator Klett are trying to shift the burden for the excessive tax rate, is simply a commission where the es- inmates made by boards appointed by Mayor Quigley are passed upon and in many instances reduced.
 ''These speakers have not told you that after the finance board had

 Wants Ward Club.
 The rally was called at o'clock by Samuel Hinchcliffe, a member of the town committee, who urged the organization of a ward club. He spoke of the excellent results that the partys opponents have attained through these means, and also spoke in regard to all young men of democratic belief registering that way, thus affording the workers an opportunity of getting a line on them. Tn speaking of the outcome of Tues days election, MT. Hinchcliffe said that with such fine men on the ticket, he was sure of success.
 The meeting was then turned over to Chairman Relyea who, in his opening remarks, said that he was sorry to see the democrats endorse certain republicans last Wednesday evening at the convention He has been a democrat all his life, because he believed the principles of the party stood for good government. The endorsing of republicans was a slur on the party, and every available means should be employed to secure democrats to allow the placing of their names on the ticket, thus

made the estimates they are sent to republican common council which. after acting on them, puts thenfl in the hands of a republican mayor who possesses the right to veto them if they are not right.
 In speaking of MT. Pelton Judge Mangan said that he does not come before the public telling them what he will or will not do if elected, but he does tell them that he will give them $1 worth of good government for every dollar spent. His position in life as a mechanical engineer affords the city the means of securing a man for $1,200, who, if they were to hire an expert of the same caliber, would cost thousands of dollars.
 Our opponents in their campaign talk do not tell you to vote next Tuesday for the interests of New Brit ain no, they want to be able to show the big state politician next fall what the city did for the party. What we want is good government in this city, and we are sure that the state politician is not interested in the tax rate or anything else that pertains to the success of the city,
 Judge Mangan, speaking on Senti- ment in voting, said that it should not be considered, it being a bad thing for the city, state and country. If the voters weigh the 'caliber of Pelton and Quigley they will vote for the form CT, which will be for the best inter- ests of the city.

 At this juncture MT. Pelton ar rived in the hall and was rendered a reception. After: being. Introduced in a flattering manner by the chairman MT. Pelton said it wassa pleasure to be introduced by such a fine old dem- ocrat as MT. Relyea, especially when he has stood by the party for so many years. He was also pleased to see so many of the voters in the ward present at the gathering. MT. Pelton said that in New York state where he was born, he had been accustomed to seeing much more of democracy dis played, and when he first arrived in this city one of his wishes was that he would be surrounded by as many of his political friends.
