 HEAR DEMOCRATIC SPEAKERS

trict last night, discussion of the sistent1y practiced by Woodrow Will and cheering.
 Judge John Keough of Norwalk, scored Ebenezer Hill, candidate for Congress for his attitude in the Adam son eight-hour day vote and com mended his opponent who has always stood by the laboring man and for the peoples interests.
 ' Lynn w. Wilson, in discussing the campaign issues also pointed out that MT. Hill and other gentlemen of his Kind in raising the idea that Euroe will flood us with goods after the war, are exceedingly behind the age and have not got that clear view of condi- tions in the present when they discuss legislation of the far ast.
 He pointed out that there is a tariff commission which will care for any tariff changes in scientific manner and will also keep Europe from dumping goods here.
 MT. Wilson called particular at tention to the fact that Europe will
 
 goods to supply her own market for four or five years but that the real problem confronting this country to- day is not the possi bi1ity of Europe dumping her goods here but that the probability is we will send out more goods to Europe than we can spare at home.
 He also warned against the possibil- ity of the stoppage of immigration from Europe to America and the pos sibiiity that because there is such a shortage of men in the little hamlets of Europe that hundreds of thous- ands of people living in America now will be attracted to return to their countries of birth.
 In conclusion he. said that. instead of discussing age-worn theories which have been surpassed by modern leg islation, the so-called statesmen should devote themselves to condi- tions that may actually occur or ad- init that their own intelligence has waned.
