EXPOSE REPUBLICANS SnAMS
Kenneth ". Wynne Secretary to Simeon Baldwin When
Latter Was Governor Criticises Destructive Policies
Of q. O. P-Attorney Mccoy Of New Haven Scores
] Office Hunters.

Supreme Court bench.
Kenneth Wynne spoke in substance
as follows: Not since the campaign
of 1860 have the American people
faced issues of such tremendous i'm
prtance as they do this year. The
speaker expressed himself as being an
Independent voter Impressed with the
principles of Wilson since the cam
paign Of 1872 and has since had no
cause to question the wisdom or choice
| of the people at that time.
1.-THE Republican party this year is
| merely a party Of opposition. it's lead
ers crying down everything that has
been done for the last three and half
years with nothing to offer in return.
Hughes and Roosevelt are strange
bedfellows with opposing principles of
political thought. They stood mid
way between Armageddon and the
Den Of Thousand Thieves in the
Chicago OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES with a
hangover of political intoxication and
Hughes, the silent hero of the blind
alley. Teddy has a talking, fighting
jag and Hughes is grimly trying to dis
guise the real state Of his befuddled
mind from everybody.
Except for local issues of a Shift
ing nature, the issues which divide the
two great parties are sharply present.
ed only in a presidential campaign.
This year there are issues ap1enty but
Mr.. Hughes and his supporters are
lodging them and are trying to fool
the American people with glittering
generalities, he further charged
I'm 1912 Mr.. Taft became much in
censed at Mr.. Roosevelt. He said
referring to him, that he hated to
see man trying to honeyfugle the
American people. All the regular
Republicans then believed Mr.. Taft's
estimate Of Roosevelt. What are they
going to say about the same Roose-
vent now? Do you believe hat Roose-
vent is honest in his support now of
the old guard, Crane, Smoot, Joe Can
non, Penrose and the rest, who are
back of Hughes?"
The speaker quoted from speeches
of Roosevelt in his true colors from
history actual happenings to disclose
Roosevelt in his true colors of an Of
fce-hunting sorehead, and then took
up the principal issues of the cam
paign which he showed redounded to
the credit of President Wilson and
should be appreciated in a unanimous

Especial to The Farmer.)

Stratford, Nov. 2--One of the pig-
gest Democratic rallies in Stratford
for many years was held here last
night.
The occasion was the presence of
Kennth w. Wynne. secretary to ex-
Gov. Simeon Baldwin, and David J.
Mccoy, the well known New Haven
attorney, who addressed the voters of
Stratford upon the real principles of
the national and state campaign.
The voters Of Stratford poured out
in goodly numbers and there were
nearly $50 in the hall when Chairman
Judge Howard M. Curtis introduced
the speakers. ~
y Mr.. Mccoy, the first to speak, rid
died the stock, widowed and thread
bare arguments of the Republicans on
tariff, the European situation, and the
Adamson law contentious. bringing
out the true spirit of Republicanism
In the light Of mere office hunting as
opposed to Democratic sincerity for
the countrys welfare.
Mr.. Mccoy declared of the tariff
argument that it is bugaboo used
by Republicans since 1924 to scare the
NOICi WuCll llC OOIIOCl ats Wei LII
power. He showed that in reality the
only panics the country had ever wit
messed were the result of Republican
mismanagement and that in the term
of Theodore Roosevelt the country
only had been savei by the act of
Roosevelt opening the treasury to the
loot Of the New York bankers.
He declared sthat the Western
farmer, when needing improvements,
formerly was obliged to pay as high
as rs per cent. interest on money bor-
rowed from Eastern banks under Re-
publican administrations, which
added to the high cost of living This,
he said, can never recur under the
Mural Credits act. He showed that
the Adamson bill was not a, surrender
upon the part Of President Wilson but
an act Of protection for all.
In discussing the Republican nom
inee at the close Of his argument. he
declared that he is not fit candi-
date to stand before the people be-
cause Hughes in six years past has
never cast his ballot at the polls as
other good citizens have done and
that he did not evenS have the princi-
pie to stand by the President who had

TO SELECT TENNIS
!!SITE IN BR0OKLAWN
BY MEMBERS VOTE

Members Of the Brooklawn Country
club have received proposals from the
board of governors of the club con-
corning the location Of the tennis
courts and they are asked to give
their choice Of one or two Sites
Site No. 1, which is presented and
urged by the tennis committee, is in
front Of the club house, extending
easterly from the west. side Of the road
to within rs yards of the chocolate
drops. A strong feature of this loca-
ton is that the play may be watched
from the veranda, affording entertain
ment to many who neither play golf
or tennis.
Site No. O. which had the recon-
mendation of the golf and tennis COM
mittees in joint session, is the land
north and northeast Of the club house.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-11-02

It is proposed that "Meadowbrook.x
canopies or other suitable accomrno-
dations be erected for spectators so
that the mems veranda may not be-
come a gallery. Petitions have been
received by the board asking that the
courts be placed in other locations,
but these have been found inadvisable,
either because of the expensive grad
ing required or the background OF
woods with their varying lights and
shadows.
Members are requested to mail
their choice of sites to c. A Baldwin,
Box 376, Bridgeport, by Nov. g.
