 higher prices. The poor man cant get it but the rich man can. What is the difference in the stand of the two parties on the question? The democratic party believes that the law is a curtailment of the persona liberty of the people. It believes that the law should be repealed and has pledged the support of the party and the party candidates for its re- peal. Senator Bingham and Con- gressman Tenn have refused tc commit themseVles on the question Nobody favors the return of the old time saloon. There should be a law which would have public respect and public opinion back of it.
 The immigration law is another important question. I don't doubt that many of you have tried in the past few years to bring relatives over from Europe only to be told that the quota was filled. You have been deprived of the opportunity by q strict immigration law. The demo- cratic party favors a more liberal interpretation of the law.
 Since the party was organized in 17S1 it has always stood for state rights. It is unjust 10 take from the state it's right to decide questions which concern it's well being.
 Makes County Jail an Issue
 Probably one of the most i'm portant issues is the Hartford county iail question. The theory of govern ment is not to punish a man but to make him see the result of his wrong doing in another way. As sheriff of Hartford county jail George Gahb was human, and was a real man, one whom you can gc to when you are in trouble. He has reformed more men than any man who held the job in Hartford county.
