Special; to The Bulletin.)


 Willimantic, Nov. 3-What will go down as the most enthusiastic demo- cratic rally ever held in the city of Willimantic was in the Loomer Opera : house on Friday evening, the theatre l being well filled. q am glad that the people are anxiocs to hear what tha 1 candidates have to say in reference to the coming election" said Mayor David
 E. FitzGerald of New Haven candidate | for governor. tsAll that. wish is that l the republican candidates would meet
 us on the platform and discuss with us l the arguments which we have to put to
 them,' he continued. The mayor then went on to enumerate what he called
 the inefficient administration of the re-
 publican party.
 MT. FitzGerald spoke highly of the | soldiers compensation bill and wildly
 described his disappointment that it was vetoed by President Harding. In
 the same manner he told of his feeling regarding the fact that the tariff bill and the shipping bill were signed The l former bill he said,. brought an added I tax of about three billions of dollars upon the working man and the shipping I bill meant that ships were to be sold
 for eight cents on the dollar of the:r
 original cost to the government, that
 Ealf of that amount or four cents on l ln9 -QOIdI was lO pc lOdn6Q 10 the puT- i chasers at the; small rate of two per
 cent and beside that they were to he
 exempt from all taxes for a period o1
 ten years SO that these individuals
 could go out and earn money for them selves while the poor working. man paid el highly for the act. In regard to some of the unnecessary expenditures of the : republican administration he talked well tof Charles W. Bennett as road commis- | l;o I.,-H I, La 4haE ,l
 be saved by receiving bids for all con- ] ] tracts on road building and for material : for the construction. This saving could
 be utilized to help World war veterans All that I appeal to is your patriot
 ism" concluded the speaker.
 At the end of his spirited talk May
 or Fitzgerald was given rousing cheer 3 by the audience.
 2 Willard B. Rogers, republican, of {, Manchester, was then introduced. H. : said that he. was still republican ant had always had been one, but that 1T accordance with his conscience and T behalf of clean politics he could not un der any circumstances adhere to hi T party in voting for the men who Narl ' candidates on that ticket for the com | ing election. He believes that the stas P Of Connecticut is suffering from al n acute attack of Rorabackism and Clark D ism and that under the leadership of ] C Henry Roraback and Charles Clark tn q remainder of the republican party ar n simply henchmen. If he could vote fo k such men as Judge George E. Hinma! n and Attorney William A. King of thu le city he would never have left his part
 but the present candidates not being .
 that calibre he could not righteousl ,. be in their favor. 'o As a conclusion MT. Rogers spok 1S highly of the candidate for the Unite ,a States senate, Thomas J. Spellacy, an ,s candidate for representative from tn " Twenty-ntnth district, Frank P. Fen ' = ton. ~ And believe that Mayor David F . FitzGerald is the business man whol i you should elect as your leader an +s governor of the state of Connecticut, ;n ended MT. Rogers. He was loudly al Ia |. plauded.
 q s Chairman Frank P. Fenton then 1T = troduced the candidate for senator VI Charles H. Williams, who IS 56 year Ja 1 old and a World war and Spanish wa '. Veteran. MT. Williams arose and mac = few brief remarks
