 election.
 Some civilized method must be
 devised by which laboring men
 who belong to unions may have
 their differences with their em-
 ployers adjusted by peaceful
 method. as the differences of oth-
 CT people are adjusted.
 The country will not permit,
 and ought not to permit, any la
 Dor union or any other combina-
 ton of men to throttle its activi-
 ties. to decline to submit their
 differences to arbitration, or to
 refuse any judicial and orderly
 settlement of their disagreement.
 New Haven, Sept. 13.-Delivering the keynote address at the republican state convention in New Haven last night, Senator Frank B. Brandegee said, in part:
 President Typical American.
 President Harding is "a typical American; typical because, like the great majority of successful Amer jeans, he was self made man He knows and understands the great masses of the American people and the motives and feelings which actuate them" concluded the sen- ator. He is just man, he has an open mind and is as free as it is possible for human being to be free, from envy, jealousy and malice He earnestly desires the peace and pros perity of the people and his every thought is directed to how he can contribute to their welfare"
 The senator praised the president for having selected a strong and well balanced group of advisers as his cabinet. He declared that the armament conference was lone of the signal triumphs of President Hard ing"
 The senator provoked applause by condemning the ever increasing de- mands for federal legislation. He said "A great mass of the measures which are pressed upon congress are entirely beyond the constitutional power of congress to deal with. Many people demand action at Wash ington for the cure of the evils which would be much better treated by the application of their own state laws"
 Wherever possible the people of state should make their own laws for their own government, where they can be enforced by their own citizens and modified and repealed by them when necessary. Home rule and local government are always best for any people. The states should, therefore, if they desire to retain home rule and local self-gov- ernment, rely upon their own legis- latures and exercise their own powers to the fullest extent
 After reading list of legislative achievements Senator Brandegee cited the treasury figures to show a reduc- tion of s3,030.735,941 in the national debt since the republican party as- sumed control of the government. He described the steps taken to reduce the military and naval forces to a peace basis dwelt upon the retrench- ment of government expenses and de clared that the administration had | kept its pledges in this respect. Re ferring to the damage done by the coal and railroad strikes, he asserted | that the government had made every reasonable effort to protect the people | from discomfort and gouging.
 "In the interest of the general pub lic," he said and for the preserva- ton of society. and indeed civilization itself, some method must be dis covered by which differences between employers and employees can be com posed without bringing anarchy and chaos upon the entire country
 Brandegee and Bonus.
 Senator Brandegee defended his course in voting for the s5,ooo,ooo,o bonus. bill against which the five members of congress from this state had cast their votes. Senator Nc Lean voted for if. He thought the could stand the financial strain. He devoted large part of lis address to the tariff, explaining many of its provisions which, he said, lad been improperly described.
 "The republican party welcomes" le said. "the issue raised by the party against this protec i've tariff measure in the coming ,ampaign It is convinced that the American people are as determined 0 protect themselves against foreign as they ever were and it eels that the danger of such compe ition, owing to the low wage scales prevailing in foreign nations and the tandard of living which they have ,een compelled to adopt in order to ecoup themselves from the ruinous xpenses of the war is greater than yer 'It has been stated by some people ctuated either by interested or al- rustic motives that foreign nations annot pay the debts which they owe s except by exporting their products q this country. I do not know ,hether foreign nations can pay their ebts to us or not. They will prob bly not be paid for many years in nv event: but I do know this. that he American people are not going to ,ver their wage scale or the Ameri an standard of living, tear down their ustom houses and throw their ports nen to the free admission of foreign oods and surrender the American ,arket to the foreign competition and ,row the American workmen out of m uplovment and close American in ustrial plants in order that foreign .s who have been engaged in a war hich every one deplores and for hich Americans are in no way re- might sell their goods here. 1d the republican party welcomes ,e appronchinp politieal can,paign
