"BL0ODY SHIRT" : IS WAVED AGAIN
 BY JOHN I. KING
Speakers at Twelfth Dis trict Rally Punch Holes
 in Republican Party.

Speakers at a rOusing Democratic rally held in the Twelfth district last night ridiculed John T. King and his letter writing practice. Max Witt stein, one of the speakers. referred to the Republican boss as, His Majesty the King of Bridgeport" He declared King has swallowed up the Republican party and Said the party is now noth- ing more than a tail at Kings political kite.
 Owen Burns, candidate for senator in the 23rd district, tooak up the sub ject of the circular. He said in part:
 That's some circular, that kingY-l let ter I, don't know whether you have taken the trouble to read it or not, but I'm going to dwell on a line here and there.
 When he gets over on the second page, he speaks of the Mason and Dixon 1ine.' Now I wonder if John has forgotten that the bloody shirt, which Republican eampaigners so loved to wave when I was very young, has been washed and buried since the Spanish-American war, when the North and South fought side by side.
 John tells us in considering the worth of candidate for president, not to be attracted by the personal attrib- utes of the man. Now whsn John said that, I wonder if he was thinking of Hughd s's whiskers?
 "He runs in opposition to Noah Webster and gives a new meaning Of the word tariff. Thus he runs on and on until he gets real profound, and says that free trade in Cleveland s time brought on a panic. I'm older than John T.. and have lived through several panics, and I don't think I would Npay any attention to John Kings opinion on the tariff
 ' Max Wittstein, in an informal talk, declared: ...
 q got one of those letters from His Majesty, the King of Bridgeport and I tho ught I would read it, because I had heard so much about the man. He quotes the panic of Cleveland 8 time. I was here then, and the panic was not near so bad as King would like to have you believe.
 linen the fire eater Teddy Roose- welt came along. I was conducting a good business on Main street at the time There came that panic, in 1907, and my store, my property, my life's work went to smash, and now I am an employe instead of an employer. An, but His Majesty doesn't say Q word about that panic, o, mol" .7-' \
 Thomas F. Riley, of New Haven said that Hughes while governor had op- posed the lower trolley fare, income tax and full crew railroad bills. He dep1ored the entrance into politics of justices of the supreme court, saying that such action lowered the dignity of that august body.
 Other speakers were Joshua Neltzer and Attorney Irving Elson, candidates for the legislature, and Henry P. Ly- ons, candidate for judge of probate.

 Border.

New Haven, Oct. 28-The welcome to the Second Connecticut infantry officially by the city of New Haven and from the heart by the tens of thousands of her citizens who turned out to see the soldiers, was given to- daN Judging by the extent of the arrangements, it was the biggest demonstration the city, has seen in years. There was nothing like it after the Spanish War, for this is the first time in half 8 cer tury that Connecti- cut men and New Haven sons have been away from their homes on actual military, service at the call of the comniander-in-chief.
 The regiment arrived from the Mexican border on Thursday but the real welcome was delayed until today in order that the men might first have their home reunions and then adjust affairs which were most pressing.
 For the welcome the city appro- priated a considerable sum of money; citizens contributed other amounts and everywhere merchants and resi- dents hung to the breeze the national colors and bunting bedecking the city and adding to the attractiveness of the decorations for last weeks pageant.
 The Second infantry, under Lieut. Colonel Tilson, and comprising the 15 companies, which is the war strength, and upwards of LIDO men and ofi- cers, was escorted by many other military. fraternal and social organi- nations in five divisions. The city officials with Gov. Marcus H. Hol- comb were to review the column at city hall and later all the soldiers were to go to the Yale Bowl to wit ness the football game.
 At Yale dining hall tonight the regiment will be given a dinner by rAe city. An interesting incident de- -loped today. The Yale batteries are Expected to take part in the parade s1d this will be the last time that the
 htteries will appear as units of the
 Ational Guard. Their existence defi- -r~>>ly terminates. .,
