"I never killed a man but what was shooting at me," is the captain’s lode-i finite way of answering the question as to how many men he has killed.

'said among other things this: "Tho best book on civics in New Haven is a good board of al— .(lermau, in Hartford it is a good may- or, and in Connecticut you have. the best book on civics in a good governor, Governor Baldwin.” The high esteem in which Governor Baldwin of Connecticut is held by 0b- scrving men of the country, and the dignity l0. which it is universally rec- ognized among them be has elevated the office of governor by occupying it, has not been lost upon the cqually 011-. servant people in this state regardless of party alignments. Two years ago. when his party sought him for its cau- (liatc. we asked upon what theory could his political opponents hope to) defeat him? He was easily the most distinguished citizen of the state, a man of impressive rccmd. and a pro- found student of political and social problems.

'Amelican worklngmen have been fooled and defrauded by Republi- can arguments. High tarii’fs do not I mean high wages. “How about the strikes in Law—‘ rcnce?” asks Professor Irving Fisher of Yale University. “The laborer’s cost of living is outstripping the wages which he gets. His emplchr does not offer to share his profits by in- creasing vvagcs. To get an increase of wages‘t‘he laborer has to make a demand for them and often to’ strike. If by dint of these efforts he gets at last higher wages, the empIOyer is apt to reduce them again by importing foreign workmen free. If the Ameri— can workman was regulating our im- ports instead of his employer, what would he do? "Instead of free trade in labor ”and a high tariff on the necessities of life. he would lower the tariff on the necesfi- tics of life and have a protective tariff on the importation of labbr. We have left our tarifi to be settled by the pro“ tected interests who have paid the campaignwblils of the Republictan par- ty. and these interests have arranged the tariff to suit themselves and not to raise the workmen’s wages," No greater fraud on the American public has ever been attempted than to per— suade the laboring man that bis‘cm» player made the. tariff to help the lsborcr.". ‘ I I ‘ 1 “t , 'cmocrauc Ticket
