(Continucd From First Page)

publican party is united as 1t never has been. Continuing, he said: l. My opponent has chosen the muck field in politics. He is going up and down the street ranting and -raving. don't say that he is lylng but he is approaching the field or ,,falsehoods.'
 He said he heard reports Of one rally in which he asked the croWd not to trust him with their homes or the sewage disposal plans. He said he did not know whether these remarks were insinuations but he would like to have McDonough state if he thought the republican candl- date would obtain graft.
 Calls McDonough Dangerous Man
 Quigley then referred to his op- ponent as "a dangerous man who goes about telling half truths and a, person who is not fair and hon est with his neighbors.' Quigley urged his listeners not to trust his opponent who, he said, should tell the whole truth.
 He then told story which qucs- tioned the honesty of a lawyer and after apologizing to the attorneys on the stage he said, '1 am not ln- sinuatins that Mir. McDonough. IS dishonest, l am simply telling a story
 He said he has worked constant .lv and consistently for the interest of the people during 2o years Of nublic life. He will withdraw if any one can prove this to be untrue, he said. He declared that "McDonough has told you he was wealthy, smart and of good judgment"
 Quigley then told the crowd that -"Mac was working for Mac and asked them to look back and see II it could be found that he has been following the same procedure.
 The speaker concluded his re- mark. with the statement that he hoped the choice of the voters next Tuesday will be a wise one and for the best interests of the city.
 One of the feature talks on the program was given by Attorney Michael Sexton who kept the crowd amused with his satire.
 He said he was not on the speak ers' platform to abuse anybody, he'd leave that to McDonough. He took "a copy Of yesterdays Herald and said, Tn looking over the paper to- ,;rl+ u-,s , ,otopicbed and anna 7e6 to read the following:
 Tonight at the senior high school. I will unmask MT. Quigley completely. So far in this campaign, ] have been giving his record, piece by piece. but tonight I will show in 1920, Mir. Quigley fought for and attempted to put over a S0-mill tax. Have you forgotten that? You will remember that Quigley wanted tax of 30 mills, and the Taxpayers as --sociation. headed by the late P. S. McMahon, said: No, We won't stand for 30-mill tax, o5 mills is enough to run the city, There was trouble at that meeting, it was near .ly a. riot, and finally the tax of 25 mills was laid, and a few months later MT. Quigley was driven out of office because of his cxorbitant tax. It was necessary for his successor. MT. Curtis, to raise an additional 'So55,ooo to pay for the mistakes Mir. Quigley had made in office. That's rwhy l say to you Mir. Quigley was the most extravagant, wasteful and inefficient mayor the city of New Britain has ever had"
 Continuing he declared:
 "McDonough said he copied it from the records himself. Then if he did I'd suggest that he change his glasses. Here is the original record (showins the city record nook) did not copy it or trust any body to copy 1t for me"
 He said the administration which included Quigley, the finance board and the common council wanted a5 e'nill tax and the Taxpayers associa- 1ion Of which he (Attorney Sexton) was a member wanted 21-mill tax, Quigley thought 21-mill tax would not be large enough to carry the city debts, according to the speaker
 Qu1gley Right, Taxpayers Wrong Attorney Sexton said he found MT. Qulgley was right and the Tax payers association was wrong. The reason Mir. Curtis had to have the extra ss55,000 appropriation was be- cause of a deficit made by the re. duced taxes Sexton said.
 He denounced the alleged halt truth tactics of MT McDonough. He is supposed to have a great mind {, he says he has but if he has why is rhe making these blunders?" Sextor asked
 It was Sexton contention that Qulgley would be in prison for the rest of his life if he did all the things McDonough credited hin, with doing.
 " He said Mayor Paonessa had ar audit costing s5.0OO made in Cit, hall and all it brought out was that .lhere was cash register which is < hoI belng used. There is an cy. ample of democratic extravasancc, . he added.
 He said Candidate McDono,,oI while speaking at the Stanley ElJl, rally asked, Would you have rr or MT. Quigley if you were looking 7or man to run this plant? On, Of the cappers in the crowd saic I'd hire you If I were there r. say I would hire neither Of YOU bc cause you don't know anythin. about It."
 f Boyle's Statement Resented William H. Day, candidate fo comptroller on the republican tjcke called the audiences attention i, inc early campaign statement of tn, democratic standard bearer McDon ough. that the campaign would b. clean.
