 PRESIDENT WILSON
(Continued from First Pagc).

and clean He will summon to his cabinet the best brains and character in the party.
 And tho nations of the world will at once understand that reason has resumed her throne in this country and that American sanity has tri- umphed over the Authorizations and illusions of internationalism. Our state convention was a great council of war Ii was composed of the fully accredited representatives of our party throughout the state. It was free In thought. fair in its proceedir gs. and untrnmmcled in its decisions.

 This is distinctiveiy Ohio Day in New Britain and Lake Compounce. for your principal speaker Is the dis tinguished member of congress from Cincinnati. ohio. who Is here to tell you why you ahould not vote for Governor Cox. of Dayton. ohio. the democratic candidate. and likewise why you should not vote for Reverend Mir. watl; ms Of Germantown. ohio, tho prohibition candidate, and he Is here particularly to tell you why you should and why you will vote for Senator Warren c.

 Hints M Calamity.
 "I nave personal pride in New Britain, with it's maGnificent. solid. substantial factories and it's equally soiid substantial, progressive busi- ness men, and it is my earnest desire that no national or industrial calain- fly may befall you that will bank the fires or stop the wheels of industry in this great manufacturing city.
 T am not pessimist. but 1t would be the acme of folly for you and me to stick our heads in the treacher- ous sand or a fancied security. and nstrich-iike imagine that we are safe
 
 industr'ai competition that Is now forming in inc European horizon.
 Many of you here todrv will recall that eight years ago. when Mir. Will spn was elected president. and a democratic house and senate swept into power, they proceeded with un- cornmc ucablc rapidlty to repeal inc republican protective tariff. and to enact in it's stead a dcmocratic frco trade tariff for revenue only. As n direct and immediate result Europa increased her shipments Of steel anl other nlishsd products 10 this coun- try. and With her cheap labor over there. and a reduced tarin here, they could SO far undcrselI New Brita n and other American manufacturers. that it became imperative to cut your wages to meet this foreign con- petition and to keep your facturics in operation and even then many ran on three or four day schedule. and finally many factories shut down en- tircly on account of no orders.

 And here let mo remind you of serious. nerve-rackinE. serenity dis turbinE fact. that same democratic free trade tariff for revenue only Is still the law of our land. and if a democratic president and a democru- tie house and senate are elected in November. that law will remain rn Inc statute books. and what will io tht irnr-cd.ate result? The iron fac tories ana mills of Europe are start ing up af.ain. Of the 11.50o factories destroyed during the war in Franca. 1000 nrc now rebuilt or nearly ready to rt sumo operations. They gre starting up again. not to manufacture war material and war implements. but they are going to manufacture screws and bolts and hinges anI builders hardware and all the other iron products now manufactured !n these great prosperous factories si I Connecticut. and they arc going io make e treruc cndous effort to sell all thoir product in the United State, and fin competition to New Britain. This is their fixed purpose. for this country has over three thousand mill lion dollars in gold--morc than aII the gold in England. France. Belgium. taiy- Germany and Austria com- b;ned--nnd Europe must have gold 10 re-establish her credit and hs. stonding ir the world commerce.
 Let us not dclude ourselves with the erroneous conclusion that because wages have been high for the past two or three years-duc not to tho existing tariff. but to the awful cataclysm of world war-that these conditions can continue Indefinitely with the breakers that arc ahead of Is..--
