 governor of the state of Connecticut,
 Homer S. Cummings, committeeman
 from Connecticut to the Democratic
 National committee, declared in an audience of a thousand, if Lieut..
 Governor Charles A. Templeton is | elected.
 J. Henry Real Governor. l Republican governors in this state l are not their own bosses" declared
 Mr Cummings. and whenever Re- ! publican governor ceases to- take or | ders from the Republican machine
 he is thrown out. he is humiliated, he | is not mentioned in the party plat
 form. he is not permitted to figure
 Republicans of this state have not l chosen their governor for thirty years, they have had him chosen for them. The real governor of Connecticut dur l ing a Republican administration is J. | Henry Roraback.'
 Issues Change. MT. Cum mings opening his address | declared that tissues change, but the | fundamental principles of government go on forever. Thomas Jefferson had l hardly signed the Declaration of Iu- | dependence before those forces which were later to divide the country into two opposing parties began to take form The Democratic party has stood from that day to this for Equal rights to all and special privileges to nOne'."
 | This is the great watchword of the Democratic party and you may use it nor test of issues today, including l the tariff question. There are always some persons who favor a question l because it draws to them some special advantage -,and there can never be such special advantage without talk | ing away all the people some of the rights that belong to them. | There is always an attempt on the part of a few to reap the advantages Is always a great effort on the part 1 of others to preserve these benefits for all the people These latter are | Democrats (Applause).
 We all recognize the need of a tariff to bring the cost of goods man. ufectured abroad up to the level of production costs in this country but i the Republicans are not content to stop there. Take wool as an exam pie; the Republicans have placed such a tax on this necessity of life as | ordinary grades as high as 200 per cent. in some cases. We all must have wool in this country and this | Republican tariff places a 'burdensome in the cradle to the slhroud that cov- 1 CTS you when you go to your last sleep. It has been estimated that this one schedule in the Republican tariff 1 s5,OOO,000 in d single year. Not Free Trade Party
 ''The Dem ocratic party is not a, free trade party. It is wiling that there eoualize the costs Of production be- i tween this country and abroad But | the Democratic party will always cast | is vote against a tariff that is in ta- Tor Rf group as against the mass of the people.

 narty is that it is controlled by great e;3 |
 i McLean's Record.
 "1'his may be shown in the record us Senator Mclean himself. He voted i against woman suffrage; f.e opposed the child labor bill and he was op- | posed to the direct election of United
 States senators by the people; he was opposed to that great Democratic
 measure a,rat revised the currency l system of this country, the federal re- | serve act; and he has constantly been 1 opposed to other progressive meas ures
 "The present Republican Congress l is ;he most astounding conglomera- | tH~n of political incompetence this na- tjon ever saw" declared MT. Cum
 mings amidst laughter ard dna applause P T,, l spea g<er then proceeded to read some | of the sharp criticism of the present 1 Congress that has been voiced by Re 1 pubHcans themselves.
 The Newberry Case. l And yet in the face of that he continued, MT. Harding says that 1 Dawes is all right and that Secretary 1 Weeks is all right and that this is | the best Congress we ever had. What l has this administration given us? It l has given us Harvey who took the i first opportunity he had to vulgarize | the cause for which the American soldiers died It has given us Daugh- erty who has had articles of inpeach- ment filed against him by members nr his own party It has given us a i gigantic raid on the civil service sys- | tenn and it has given us Newberry'' l Mir Cummings tn en attacked the 1 seating of Newberry as a crime | against popular government and l 9 sked what chance would a man 1 like Abraham Lincoln have to get elected to the United states Senate In l Micbioan9 We in Connecticut are represented by a Republican senator who voted to seat MT Newberry and 1 for tba Senate who will vote to throw l hin, o1,f (Great applause)
