 BEST RALLY TODAY
Congressional Candidate We'll Re.
 CeiYed at LanderS' Gate

The most enthusiastic of the three factory gate rallies held in this city this week by ex-Mayor Joseph M Dutton of Bristol, democratic nom inee for congress. was held today at the entrance to the Landers Frary & Clark plant, when applause. cheers, handshaking and well-wishes were given the candidate. He discussed the Income tax law. the public utili- ties commisson, prohibition, tariff, bonus and the soldiers hospitaliza- tion problems briefly before the gath ering of about 15o factory employees.
 "Thirsty Days"
 Hearty laughter and applause fol- lowed Candidate Dutton's recitation of a new twist to an old rhyme, as follows:
 Thirsty days have September.
 April, June and November. All the rest are thirsty, too.
 Unless you make your own home
 brew"
 The speaker assured that he was not in favor of making home brew, but wanted the kitchen returned to its old, honest practices. But. he did feel, he assured the gathering, that the workingman was entitled to beer and little good stuff" so regulated and so sold that the government would get revenue and the saloon would not be returned.
 Wants Soldiers Rewarded.
 He protested against the withhold ing of a bonus from the servicenien and felt that proper hospitaization should be guaranteed the injured men. He cited an instance of a fed eral examining physician who had re- jected an ex-sodier's application for compensation and treatment, explain ing that he was not incapacitated suf- hciently, then as a private practition- CT, examined the same man who sought employment in a factory. and rejected the application because he was not sufficiently well to pass in- surance tests
 The Income Tax.
 The speaker discussed the income tax law and announced himself as opposed to reductions in payments
 
 channel. He cited that the tax law was passed so that the poor man might be saved the burdens that could be borne by the man of larger income: also that tax was provided to bring 10 per cent. corporation tax and if the corporation made more than 40 per cent. of invested capital it was 40 per cent, if more than 60 per cent. it was 60 per cent. This was under democratic rule.
 The republicans, it was argued, have done away with the excess pro- fits tax and increased the personal in come tax, a move in the interests of the corporations as against the com mon people and voters. he points out.
 Tariff Adjustment.
 Mir Dutton advised his listeners that under the administration tariff bill their next suits will cost s5 more, more if bought this month or s2 more if next month. He favored readjust- ment.
 Protest was also registered against the system of appointing men to the public utilities commission. He point cd out that with the same operating expenses as the Connecticut company, the Bristol 6: Plainville Tramway op- crates with five cent fares while New pay dime. He invited the to move to Bristol, the city of low prices.
 Cans Also Speaks.
 George Cans. candidate for repre- sentative. spoke briefly before Mir. Dutton took the platform. He urged 2 vote for the democratic ticket, dis cussing in particular the proposed change in the system of placing P. T.. C. members, benefit which he said would be brought about through the election of the democratic ticket
