 Says c. o. F. Evades Issue
 Speaking before a large crowd oi
 employees of the Stanley Rule and
 Level company this noon at the
 corner of Elm and Church streets
 Judge William F. Mangan stated that tho democratic party was ready and willing to meet their oppone nts In any shape. manner or form on any or the main issues of the present presidential campaign and that at every possible occasion the oppon. snts evaded any discussion pertain. ing to these subjects.
 The speaker ridiculed the repub. lican party for its constant harping on the protective tariff issue. stating that it is the sole wish and aim Of the democratic nominee. Governor Alfred Smith to protect American labor and that the democratic party Is rigid in it's stand of favoring the protective tariff.
 Speaking of the qualities of the democratic candidate, Judge Mangan touched briefy on his record of pub- He service as governor of the state of New York. stating that never did he favor or veto a law, which was not in conformity with his views and the views of the people who placed him in that office. He further as- sured his listeners that Governor Smith. in his entire program, has the backing of so per cent of the rep. resentatives to congress in his tariff attitude.
 Referring to the prohibition Ques- tion. Judge Mangan said that the republicans evaded the subject con- tinually and were afraid to come out openly with their views of the situa- tion which has brought no good to the American homes. whereas on the other hand Governor Smith came out openly and stated that the law either has to be changed or rigidly cnfc. .ced.
 In conclusion Judge Mangan took to task Col. H. Russell Wood. who spoke yesterday at the same fac. land administration. stating that the speaker failed to bring out the fact that the hard times during that ad. ministratlon were the result of 8 messy state of affairs left by the preceding administration which was republican, and that the speaker further forgot to mention that dur ing . republican administration, in 1907. thousands of workingmen in New Britain marched to the mayors home in quest of some relief from the depressing conditions when no WOFk Wa9 aVallaOIe.
 Calls Prohibition Chtef Issue
 Registrar of Voters T. J. Smith. who introduced the speaker. stated that the paramount issue of this was the prohibition law, which should be amended. as 1t never was enforced and never can be enforced. In support of Governor Smiths stand on the tariff, Mr. Smith read tho letter from the gov ernor to the people of New Britain at tho time he was passing through this city last week, in which the democratic candidate stated that he | wanted tho voter3 of this city to rest assured that their interests are his interests and it will be his sole | aim to protect the American la borer from any foreign competition through . protective tariff.
 It was an enthusiastic gathering and the speakers were often inter- rupted with applause and cheers whenever the governors name was
