The rally was called at 8 o’clock by Samuel Hinchcliffe, a member of the town committee, who urged the organization of a ward club. He spoke of the excellent results that the prarty’s opponents have attained through these means, and also spoke in regard to all young men of democratic belief registering that way, thus affording the workers an opportunity of getting a line on them. In speaking of the outcome of Rues- day’s election, Mr. that with such fine men on the ticket, he was sure of succ The meeting was then turned over to Chairman Relyea who, in- his opening remarks, said that he . was sOrTy to evening at the convention.

Judge Mangan said it pleasure for him to be on the plat- form of a meecting presided over by Mr. Relyea, whom he had seen pre- slding over when he (Mangan) was boy, and who had not lost any his old time spirit. Touching on the remarks of th echairman about en- dorsing republicans on the ticket, Judge Mangan said that the recent convention was an open meeting where any democrat had the right and privilege to run for office or to place the name of any man he thought fit for the place. Members of the town committee had worked hard to secure available candidates, but due to the records of the men holding office cn the republican ticket there was some pessimism on the part of the men approached toward making the fight. The speaker urged the for- mation of a club in the second ward, thereby assistint in a large manner in making the city democratic at the next election. Judge Mangan said it was interest- ing to him to read the republican papers of the speeches made by the mayor and a few of shis cahorts es- recially where the asinine remarks are made about the finance board Leing responsible for the tax rate. “Your mayor has told you that this beard is composed of demcrats as well as republicans, and the party is «s much to blame as the administra- tion,” said Judge Mangan. he tells you that, it is an admis- sion of the fact that the tax rate is not right,” he said. The speaker said that the finance board to which Mayor Quigley and Senator Klett are trying to shift the burden for the excessive tax rate, is was a “When | I niade the estimates, they are sent o republican common council which, after acting on them, puts thent in | the hands of a republican mayor who : possesses the right to veto them if | are not right. = In speaking of Mr. Pelton, Judge Mangan said that he does not come before the public telling them what le will or will not do if elected, but he does tell .them that he will give them $1 worth of g00d govergment for | every dollar spent. His position in life | as a mechanical engineer affords the city the means of securing a man for | ere to hire an expert of the same caliber, would cost thousands of dollars. “Our opponents in their campaign | talk do not tell you to vote next Tuesday for the interests of New Brit ain; no, they want to be able to show the big state politician next fall what the eity did for the party.

At this juncturé Mr. Pelton ar- rived in the hall’and was tendered a reception. After being introduced in a flattering manner by the chairman, | Mr. Pelton said it waska, pleasure to be introduced by such a fine old dem- ocrat as Mr, Relyea, especially when he has stood by the party for so many years. He was also pleased to | ! see so many of the voters in the ward simply a commission where the es- | timates made by boards appointed by Mayor Quigley are passed upon and | in many instances reduced. “These speakers have not told you | that after the finance board had Why pay Tire Bills for Others— | present at the gathering.

He spoke of the records made by democrats in the common council stating that several years ago it was though a democratic mayor that the wages of the street laborers was in- creased from $1.35 to $1.75 a day af- ter the republicans had opposed the increase. The speaker also said that it was through a resolution signed by A. M. Paone! George Sullivan and M. T. Kerwin that gave the laborer the half day privilege on Saturday dur- ing the summer. It had been called to the attention the speaker that the republicans were claiming that the candidate of the party was a manufacturer thus trying tp convey the idea that he was not a friend of the factory worker.
