 Roosevelt, he said. has descended too low for an ex-President, descend ed to the gutter of rowdyism.
 The speaker defied Hughes to urge the repeal of the Farm Loan bill. the
 Federal Reserve Bank bill, the Child Labor Law or the Eight Hour Law.
 He closed with the statement that American Manhood is in the Presi- dents chair.
 If was in this district and was a Republican, I'd scratch MT. Hills name and vote for MT. Donovan. He has always been on the side of the people.
 MT. Hill is little too old for a good congressman anyway. He was a good mill hand once, but the mill has stopped, the water doesn't evei flow over the wheel. The peo- pie are tired of selfshness tired of the people who write checks for $500,- 900, s250,00O and $1O0,000, to elect candidates" N ',
 MT. Lentz declared that the only thing Senator Mclean has done has been providing an international roost- ing place for migratory birds. while, when the Child Labor bill, vitally con- corning the boys and girls, future men and women of the country, was before Congress, he "ducked," and didn't vote.
 Showing the remarkable changes , that have been made in the Wilson administration. MT. Lentz told of meeting a salesman, who had been 26 years on the road, who told him that this is the first presidential cleo ton prior to which his customers have not said: Wait until after election
 MT. Lentz's address in part. fol- lows:
 While campaigning in the states of Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska, Missouri, Wisconsin, and Illinois, I was doubly pleased to be advised by the Democratic National Committee, to spend the first four days of this week in Connecticut I was pleased to come from my home in Ohio and state the reasons why I believe Ohio and several of the Western states I have mentioned, should and will vote for four more years of Woodrow Will son. I am also pleased to have an opportunity to come into your state and say a word in behalf of Homer s. Cummings for the United State Senate.
 'I became acquainted with Cum mings while I was in Congress, when the Republican party was granting special privileges to the rich by pass ing the high protective Dingley Tariff Bill, and at the same time making a war on Union labor by using the United States army and marshal law in Idaho, and establishing a bull pen in the Occur D'Alene district.
 "It has been my privilege and pleasure to know MT. Cummings, not only in his great and honorable suc- cess as a lawyer, but also in the tiona1 affairs, his connection with the National Democratic Committee and the high quality of service rendered in that capacity, as we'll as the high standard maintained by him in all his political addresses. MT. Cummings has made a reputation that has extend ed across this continent, and that rep utation is so favorable that the de- mocracy of this entire Republic would rejoice to see him a member of the United States Senate; not only would they congratulate Connecticut, but they would congratulate them selves on seeing a man representing the state of Connecticut. who would also represent every National and In- ternational interest of hundred mill lion citizens of the greatest republic the world has ever known. MT. Cum mings, had he been in the Senate with the present administration of affairs at Washington, would have voted for the eight-hour law of the Adamson Bill, and not against it as Mclean did, and had he been in the Senate the last few years, would not have ab- scented himself from his chair and the roll-call when the Child Labor Bill came up, as did his Republican opponent. Surely MT. Cummings would have spent as much time in behalf of the children of the land as MT. Mclean did in trying to provide a roosting place for migratory birds The brain and heart of Cummings are too large and too warm to have per- mitted him to have been absent from his seat in the Senate when the well fare of the children of the land was at stake. And, when the conserva- tion of the energy of the 100000 rail way men, and the happiness of their 100000 wives and children, were at stake, he would have been too noble to have voted against the Adamson Bill. He would have voted with the Democratic Senators and Representa- tives and with the 81 Republican members of the lower House who vot- ed in favor of the Adamson Law.
 'I do not claim the right to come into Connecticut and advise you on all of your local tickets, but I know I speak the hope and the desire of the best informed Democrats in the AT states outside of Connecticut, when I urge you to send Homer S. Cum mings to the United States Senate, to legislate along the lines of equal and exact justice to all, and special privi- leges to none.
 'Now let me turn your thoughts to the question of selecting a President for the next four years of our Repub- lie, and in considering this question let us divert ourselves promptly from
