Both Hen Cave Cood Talks and lie-
fresltments Were Served later
The Republican Club of the First
District had as speakers at its meet-
ing last night. in Red Men's Hall. 911‘
iMayor Charles H. Leeds. of Stamford.
and Congressman-elect E. J. Hill. Both
gentlemen gave rattling good talks
which were highly appreciated by
their hearers. Sandwiches, coffee.
ice cream and cake were served after
the speakers had finished. and a social
time enjoyed,
Mr_ Leeds devoted his time to the
subject of trade conditions in conned
tion with the war. He expressed the
opinion that the country as a whole.
is suffering through lack of business
attendant upon present w.arfare The
speaker referred to the manufacturers
whose factories are working night arid
day turning out products for the belll-I
gerent countries declaring that the
benefit of the foreign orders is con-
fined to a few. “it would be much bet-
. ter for this country." he said. "it“, for
v
example. the clothing manufacturers:
home ,
were rushed with orders for
trade."
E. J. Hill, always an interesting and
convicting speaker, spent considerable
time on the Ship Purchase bill. the
legislation that now is occupying the
attention Iof the Senate. He came out.
in an emphatic declaration against
the bill. and declared that the coun-
try would suffer in the event of its
passage. He charged that :in the
Democratic caucus held on the ques-
tion sixteen states whose representa-
tives voted in favor of the bill, have
not the population of New York state,
and therefore a majority representa-
tion cannot be claimed for the meas-
the speaker said is opposed to it and
he is :1 dcinocl'.at
M" ”I" said that the “Winners of ernor also sent to the Senate, were 115'. i.ng taken in the affair, and the
that legislation hate admitted that
governmental ownership would not be ‘
the administration in connection with
the hill. detlnring that the president
was doing his utmost to force the bill
into a law. The speaker labelled the
measure as impractinhle, lie. said it
