Tn- deed, T will go further and that it would be a mistake to nominate me unless the country has in its mood | something of the heroic, unless it | feels not only like devoting itself to ideals, but to the purp, measure- able to realize those ideals in action. “This is one of those rare times which come only at long intervals .n a nation’s history, when the action taken determines the basic of the life of the generations that follow. Such times were those from 1776 to 1789, in the days of Washington, and from 1858 to 1865 in the days of Lincoln. The Problems of Today. “It is for us of today to grapple with the tremendous national and international problems of our own hour in the spirit and with the abil- ity shown by those who upheld the hands of Washington and Lincoln. “Whether we do or do not ac- complish this feat will largely depend on the action taken at th publican and progressive national convention next June.

They ought not to and I believe they will not be content merely to change the pr ent administration for one equally timid, equally vacillating, equaliy lacking in vision, in moral integrity and in high resolve. Needs of Country “T believe that in a crisis so grave it is impossible too greatly to magniry the needs of the country, or 00 strongly to dwell on the necessity of minimizing and subordinating the de- sires of individuals. The delegates | who go to Chicago will have it in their power to determine the ch acter of the administration which to do or leave undone the mighty asks of the next four vears. The men chosen to decide such a question ought not to be politicians of av age type and parochial outlook. Still less should they be politicians con- trolled by sinister influence from within or without. They should be tlie best men that can be found in country, whose one great mission { should be to declare in unequivocal | | terms for a program of clean-cut, | straight-cut, national Americanism, in deed not less than in words, and in internal and international matters alike, and to choose as a candidate a man who will not merely stand for such a program before clection but | will resolutely, and in good faith, put | | it through if elected.” i Col.

Other protestants from Connecticut include the Bridgeport Board of Trade Manufacturers’ assoc ion, the Danbury Business Men’s association, New Haven Business Men' o tion, and Chamber of Commerce; Southington Board of Trade, and Tor- rington Business Men's association. The Connecticut organizations have joined with the Merchants’ assoc tion of New York to fight the bill, which ‘has already been passed by the house of representatives. The bill pro- poses to reduce the compensation to the railroads for Ty mails. Many business men say this is | policy; that the railroads should be and be paid by Uncle m a reasonable amount for their se ; that if the railway mailpay is and the railroads’ revenues the railroads must take it ing rates on freight and passengers, and that if the mails oc- cupy teo much of the railroads’ car space the result will be a shortage of pace and other transportation facil- ities for the business and traftic of the country. rm Crops in 1915, enactment for changing pay to the United of the rail- States s vice reduced imperilled up by rais 0,832,000.
