Praises of the Grand Old Party were sung by numerous able speakers at the fourth annual banquet of the iirst Ward Republican club held last evening in Bardeck’s hall. “En- tnusiasm” appeared to be the watch- wword and, in all the speechs, republi- canism boomed and the mem- Lers of the ward club congratulated the remarkable development of organization since its birth in was upon their 1911, Such notable speakers as Attorneys Woods and Benjamin W.

Quigley and Edward Wie- gand, president of the club, weer on the program and they all did credit to the G.” O. P. Attorney Woods was the toastmaster and he fulfilled the requirements of the place to perfec- tien. Vocal selections by John Lar- con and Frederick M. Hewett and recitations by Harry Hargreaves and Dewey Norton, added much to the pleasure of the sons of the G. O. P. The dining hall was adorned with ‘arge American flags. Joseph G. son President Welcomes Members. Following a splendid supper Presi- dent Wiegand launched out on his ad- dress of welcome, which was as fol- low; “In behalf of the First Ward Re- publican club I extend to you all a hearty welcome. Your presence here lends to the occasion the patriotism, lcyalty and fidelity that should ever characterize true republicans. “We have been engaged during the first four years in a very laudable work. We enjoy the distinction of bLeing the oldest ward club in New Britain, affiliated with the republican party. Its conception did not meet with the approval of all of our friends at the time of its formation. Many thought it was a hazardous under- taking. That such an organization should be short lived and therefore commented upon its early failure. Success Result of Unity. “We attribute our success to the earnest and united efforts of our mem- bhers. They have been aggressive and active from the beginning. As a re- sult of their concerted action we have welded together a permanent political club. After our success was assured other wards were urged to follow, which they did, and consequently we have six ward clubs today in this city. The consclidated ward banquet teld in the Turner hall one year ago was the most splendid gathering of vepublican voters ever seen in New Britain. It demonstrated the fact that where there is unity there is strength. City Held Balance of Power. “The activity of ward clubs in New Britain has made this city a republi- can stronghold. Last November the city of New Britain held the balance of power in our state election. “It is our aim to keep from this club the corrupt and baneful influence of the so-called ‘slate’ or ‘machine’ in our local politics. We have carefully avoided this evil in the past and we sincerely hope that in the future there will be manifested that healthy, clean, and enthusiastic spirit amongst our members and voters in order that they may feel free to exercise the highest privilege accorded an American citizen to vote for the candidate of his choice. Club Developing Strength, “A careful study of the present con- dition of this club justifies the con- clusion that we have developed great strength and shall continue to be suc- cessful and should therefore deserve the confidence, esteem, and the loyal cupport of our republican voters. Toastmaster Introduced. “I now take the pleasure of intro- ducing the toastmaster of the even- ing,” Attorney Joseph G. Woods.” The toastmaster spoke as follows: “Mr. President and members of the first ward republican club and invited guests: “It is very gratifying to see before us such a splendid gathering of men tonight. It is an eloguent testimonial of your layalty to the principles of the great party of which a part and a factor. Tonight occasion of especial significance to the First Ward Republican club. It is another milestone on the road to jts continued success. The officers and the rank and file of its members point to its recora with a feeling of pride “It was here in this hall that it had its inauspicious beginning four years ago. It was here a party of a few men assembled after a republican caucus held in the Turner Hall and devised a plan to promote har- mony, unity and efficiency in the re- publican party. “Abraham Lincoln is an said that | house divided against itself must fa The founders of this club knew that a time had come when discord, dis- satisfaction and dissension within the party should cease, that a prolonged existence of illeconcilable factions would be almost certain to lead to | its destruction. “The pioneers of this movement laid their foundations well. The success which has attended their efforts, i something beyond their fondest dreams. They knew that in order to achieve party success, it is indis- pensable to have a high degree of or- ation. Those who are its pre- sent members have co-operated during the last four vears and by their com- bined efforts have made the First you are! Ward Republican organization. Credit Goes to Wiegand. “It is proper however at this time to ask the question, who inspired the First Ward Republican club conceived the notion that it was neces- sary to have such an organization in our midst, in order to have unifica- tion, harmony, and efficiency in dur ranks? The man who accomplished this no small undertaking is present here this evening. To a great extent he has developed this association of men from an infant ward club to six flourishing clubs of the same charac- ter in this city. He has long been a trusted and valuable asset to the re- publican party. He has served the people of his ward in the common council, both as councilman and al- derman, for a period covering eight years. He has acted on the republi- can town committee, both as asso- ciate member and chairman and at present has the important task of looking after our highways. I refer to Edward Wiegand, who has honor of being our president. Under his direction and fostering influence this club sprang into life. From its birth to the present time we have depended upon his experience, sound judg- ment, honest energies and careful guidance. 'We have seen him bend- ing his energies to the accomplish- ment of making our venture succes- ful. His enthusiasm, acti vy and agressiveness in every movement for its' good had in no small measure con- tributed to its durability and per- manence. All honor to him and the strong determined men of this and other clubs of this city who have em- ploved their time, energy and re- sourcefulness in smoothing out petty differences and eliminating fractional disturbances, within the ranks of the local republican.party. Door Open to All ‘At last we have provided a foun- dation whereon the fabric of a steadily advancing organization may be reared. It is for us to build upon that founda- tion. In order to attain valuable re- sults we must persistently act for the good of the people. We are not or- ganized for selfish purposes.

Congratulates Club Members, Mr. Hagarty said that he wanted to congratulate the members of the club upon their splendid organiza- tion. These clubs have been large factors in the pronounced success of the republican party in this commun- ity, he said. The speaker considered it rather re- markable that under the democratic regime, there existed in New Britain the 150 or 200 men who seemed able to pay fifty cent for the supper which | had just been served. He went on to tell of the destitute conditions which prevail at present about the country on account of the administration.

The truth of their statements is now evident, he said. He criticised the low tariff passed by the demo- cratic congress. It gave freedom to men from work, among other things, he said, it was his opinion that the people have had enough psychology for a time. The people of this coun- try were fooled two years ago at the elections, he said. The speaker ex- plained that people have not the faculty of looking at things from the psychological point of view, which is pointed out by the president. The smoking steak has been out of sight in - many families since the entry of the new administration, he said. G. O. P. Going Back to Work. So the republicans are going back to the fold to work for the success of their party which, in its infancy, freed all the slaves in ’61; the party which opend up the prairies in the west and which did numerous other of the great things in the history of the country. “We're going to make this country blossom forth again like the, rose,” he asserted. G. O. P. Not Without Mistakes, Mr. Hagerty admitted that the re- publican party has not been without its mistakes but, he added, the name of the party has been linked with every great achievement in the coun- try during the past half century. He commended the republican voters of this city for the part they played in the recent November election. In the success of the G. O. P., he said we must find the success which this ci and the state deserveh econcluded. Mayor Pleased With Aim. Mayor Quigley was called upon. He began his remarks with an expression of his, surprise at being called upon for a speech. He was glad to learn, through Mr. Woods' speech, that the chief object of the club was to wage n campaign of education. He looked forward to the day when all the re- publicans would forget their differ- ences in the primaries ana work to- gether better in the following elec- tions. It was his opinion. he said, that tne republicans are nearer to accom- they have ever been before, Comptroller Gives His Views, The toastmaster introduced a man swwho served thirty-three vears ago in | the local common council and who | | vas once mayor of thils ety ate | Comptroller Webster.

Alling on Past Administrations. Attorney Alling was (ntro.duced, the toastmaster paying him a fribute for moaking his mark in the legal profes- =ion here. . Mr, Alling reminded his hearers of the election next week, asking all to vote as early as possible. He took his audience back a few ears in the history of the G.

Ils wished to attain certain ends and he went forward to attain these at any cost. He stated that the terms of Roosevelt were actuated by his am- | bitions. The speaker lauded Taft for! his masterly guidance as a conserva- tive president. The Party’s Aim. “\What must the republican party do in the future to maintain its position?” he asked. The administration of Governc Baldwin, the speaker | claimed was not what might be called | a good term. The governor was too “easy going.” Answering his previous question, he said that the repubiican party is looking for men who are best able to fill positions.
