 MASS MEETING BECOMES HISTORY

ed, was to read three telegrams and a set of resolutions.
 The first telegram was message from the presidential nominee, Her bert Hoover. expressing regrets that he had made engagements which prevent ed his accepting an invitation to be present, wishing the meeting every success, and expressing the hope to join in on some other occasion.
 Senator Charles Curtis, vice-preSi- dential nominee, also expressed re- grets at being unable to be present, and predicting that the activity of the Republicans of the state will be amply rewarded.
 Senator GiIlett of Massachusetts also expressed regret that he had just arrived in Washington and would be unable to attend.
 Adopt Resolutions
 The following resolution was then read by Secretary Bowen and enthusi- astically adopted:
 Whereas: The Republican party iE national convention assembled at Kan sas City, nominated as successor to Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Benjamin Harrison, William McKin- ley. Theodore Roosevelt, Calvin Cool idge, for president of the United States. Herbert Hoover; and for vice president, Charles Curtis. Therefore be it
 Resolved: That we, the members of the Windham County Hoover and Cur tis Republican Club, members of the same club in Holland, New London, Hartford. Litchfield and other coun- ties in the state of Connecticut, in Worcester county. Massachusetts. and in towns in our sister state of Rhode Island, in mass meeting assembled on Woodstock Common, pledge our un- qualified support to Herbert Hoover and Charles Curtis; and from this 18th day of September until Tuesday, the 9th of November, will work for the triumphant election of our ideal stand ard bearers, Herbert Hoover and Charles Curtis.

notables of this and other common wealths. By that time, if the predic- tions unanimously voiced from the platform on Woodstock Common Sat urday afternoon are fulfilled, the rec ord of Herbert Hoover as President of the United States of America will be an open book.
 The Old Shield
 All of the enthusiasm of previous mass meetings was aroused in the hearts of an audience, that shivered in the damp chill of approaching twi- light, by the laudations of the speak \ CTS for the presidential candidate, his running mate, and the national and state nominees. The flow of oratory resurrected echoes of the past. when Republican doctrine was ably expound- ed by leaders of the nation. Silent and age-worn on the front of the speakers stand was q red, white and blue shield, above which, July 4th, 1870, stood the great general of the Northern armies of the Rebellion, now but a memory of a united country, President Ulysses s. Grant, and talked 10 the people of old Windham County of the tenets and principals of Repub- Nlicanism, under the auspices and through the ability of the late Henry EC. Bowen to gather the foremost nota- bles of the land under the spreading %elms of Woodstock Common.
