 KENSINGT0N HALL
Democrats Attack (. O.P. Evils,
 National, State, Local

An arraignment ot the Republi- can party from its part in national affairs down to the door-ways of Berlin people, an attack on the ex- trayagance of the party while in power, the presentation of the Ques- ton, Why didn't the president know what was going on in Wash ington and why didn't he get rid of those responsible for the recent corruptness?" these and many more points were brought out by Democratic speakers at a rally in Kensington last night. rally marked for an enthusiastic atmos- phere.
 Charles c. Morris, nominee for governor, the main speaker on the program of activities said that the purpose and the intent of the gov ernment of the state today is not 10 serve all people of the state as well as can be. II is a govern ment of the Republican leaders by Republican leaders and for the benefit of Republican leaders.
 His work in behalf of the Civil Service law and the final putting through of that law, were de- scrbed. He claimed that two years after that bill was passed, the Re- pubicans coming back into power. took the heart out of the law and before any other business was transacted by the. legislature a bill was passed which wiped the Civil Service law off the books. "They wanted to use the offices in the state for their own sweet will. They wanted to use them as servants of the Republican party" he said.
 G. O. P. Extravagance
 He brought forth facts to show the alleged extravaganza of the G. o. P. while it has been in party and how the taxes have jumped to the skies.
 He scored the practice of secur- ing deficiency appropriations, a practice brought Into being by the Republican department heads. he said, He said that, in spite of the claims of the party that taxes have beens increased only 15 percent since 1905, they have really in creased 110 percent. Expenditures in the state have increased from sS,00O,0OO in 1905 {. to s24,000,00 in 1924, he asserted.
 Hear No Evil"
 Hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil" he said and said that is the case with one who as- pires to be a leader. Tt is neces- sary for .me, as a citizen, to come out and speak of the evil in le&sla- tive halls. " He said that when Moses, Christ and Abraham Lin- coin saw evil they recognized it and spoke of it. He expressed the hope that the people would be of the same mind.
 The most bitter arraignment of the G. o. P. came from the lips of Francis Cont, Hartford lawyer. who had elected to speak on na- tional affairs Mir. Cont first scored the Republicans for the way in which they have broken faith with the men who went across the ocean to Europe and fought for the United States.
 At the close of the Wilson admin istration extensive plans had been made for the carrying out of these promises, building hospitals for the care of the wounded and other measures. But with the advent of the Republicans, these plans van ished into thin air, he said.
 No Hint of Dishonesty
 Y defy the Republican party to find any hint of dishonesty on the books of the Wilson administra- ton which were barred at the close of that term" he challenged.
 He spoke of the government'' attitude in the Muscle Shoals pro position and scored the Republi. cans for it. Henry Ford did not want them to give him the land He was ready to pay. good, hard American cash for it" he said But there were some men 1T President Harding's cabinet who made no bones about giving away lands. And to whom? It's unneces. sary for me to explain. You al know of what happened at Teapor Dome."
