fire, sweeping over the states.
 From the abundance of his experi ence with lobbyists whom he incess antly fought at Boston the former governor launched into an exposition or why New England is not progress i've.
 "It is the stand-pat Republicanism that has kept New England back" he declared. Instead of sending the brain and muscle of the communities to Congress, New England has been sending a group of missionaries, of have grown rich through the laws they have passed, and whose sole in- terest in the government of the Unit ed States is the dollar and not hu- manity. They are the champions of every selfish, brutal, financial interest in the United States.
 There is no chance for a young Reublican in New England to go higher than councilman unless he gets down on his knees and pays tribute to the New Haven road, the Boston X Maine, the insurance companies, the financial and manufacturing inter ests.''
 He mentioned Senator Mclean. Mclean stood up in Congress when the Adamson law was being consider ed and said, I represent the people of Connecticut; I want to say for the people of Connecticut that they are opposed to the eight hour day"
 He referred to Roosevelt as "dis- tinguished gentlemen" and the crowd emitted derisive laugh. He told how Roosevelt had branded the Re- publican machine men as porch climbers, thieves, burglars, highway men, ma1efactors and as every con- ceivable kind of wrong-doers, and now he is back in the fold. ",hnd he seems to be quite at home,'' said MT. Walsh. '"They went through Teddy's pocket: and stole the nominatiol,,' he said in explaining the reason for Roosevelt's confessions of his proteges' guilt.
 "He picked out one judge for us, to be made President, and after he was made President, he repudiated him. Now he has picked out another judge for us, and we're not going to wait for Teddy to repudiate him. We'll do it ourselves"
 MT. Walsh closed with the state ment that he will fight the pernicious interests in New England with the last breath in his body.
 Philo Calhoun was chairman of the meeting. John l.. Rowe, vice presi- dent of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainment, and Lynn w. Wilson ad- dressed the meeting. MT. Wilson de- clared that he had never heard such convincing and clear abatement of the conditions he has been fighting for 10 years, since he has been in pub lie life.
 1, MT. Rowe received much applause when he told the fleets of the, reason why Wilson declared for the eight hour law. He said that the President had to choose between the-interests of a few capitalists and the interests, of 100, 900, 900 comrion people and he de- clared for the latter. The Presidents action, he said, is the beginning of the extension of the eight hour law to every class of labor in the country.

Real Facts of the Adamson Bill Are Detailed By Spokesman for the Rail road Men = Democrats Wind Up the Campaign With Memorable Rally in the Lyric Theatre.

Two thousand persons rose spon- taneously from their seats last night at the Lyric theatre and made the roof rattle with tremendous cheer for David I. Walsh, former governor of Massa chusetts, following one of the most masterly arraignments of the in- terests behind the senators who have been sent by New England to Wash ingtOn that has ever been heard in this city,,
 Men and women stood in front of and atop their seats and yelled their approval of the dynamic oratory of the speaker, who with fact after fact, gleaned after fighting as governor of Massa chusetts against the insolent and all-crushing machine of the interests in the Hobbies of the ,;apitols, stripped the disguises from the arrogant aris- tocrats who are controlled by the ma- chine.
 With fiery eloquence, sincere state ment and a touch of incisive wit, Ex- Governor Walsh aroused the audience to pitch of enthusiasm that hasn't been seen in this city since the cam paign started. The theatre was pack ed. All the seats were taken and hundreds stood. The great crowd burst out into cheering that half a dozen times could have been heard blocks away, as with force and convic- tion, the speaker drove home his points.
 When he closed, yell of approval broke forth and it lasted several min utes. Hats were thrown in the air, women danced, old men waved their canes and the other speakers on the stage, joined in.
 His wit too, brought forth applause. His disposal of ''The Terrible Teddy with few humorous words was ap- preciated. The first reference he made to Roosevelt was greeted with a loud "Ha! Hal"
 The ovation he received when he arose to speak prompted him to say: This reception sounds a little. like South Boston"
 In opening his address MT. Walsh paid a tribute to Bridgeport. "I'm glad to be in Bridgeport tonight and to have the opportunity to speak to it's people. Bridgeport is one of the few cities in New England that have not yet ended their career of useful ness. The city is showing that life, enthusiasm and spirit are still left in New England to go on with the forward march of progress
