JEPUBLICANS CHEER FOR PRES. WILSON atriotism Uppermost in Minds of Those at Annual Dinner e ‘ A truly patriotic assemblage in fhich partisan politics was cast posi- vely into the discard; in which love Pr country predominated over the tty ambitions of politicians ,during f'hich Compensation , Commissioner orge B. jyghandler, in one -of fle most siEring addresses ever elivered in% eity. brought out Sreibly ;the position of the United tates, predicting that the war Is Mng to be a long and-tedious one, mnd lastly which, although republican 1 political faith, concluded with ree rimging cheers for President Voodrow Wilson, led by E. N. umphrey, chairman of the republi- town committee,—such was the fth annual banquet of the United ‘Publican Ward clubs held at the {otel Beloin last evening. For National Unity—Quigley. | Stirring music and patriotic airs iterspersed the various courses and ed Beloin gave as a favor to each han a minature American flag for ® lapel of his coat. President Ar- hur N. Rutherford acted as toast paster and seated at the speakers’ /pble were some of the city’s most jjrominent men. Mayor Quigley, first peaker, opened his remarks with the itement that this is a peculiar time P talk politics, especially partisan olitics, and it should not be injected pto the meeting. ‘“This is not the me to discuss politics. This is a me for natonal unity, when every an should be loyal to the adminis- tion at Washington which means pyalty to the United States.” - Mayor Quigley sald that in these mes of great stress and emotions /@ hoped that the citizens will not for n instant forget the honorable part at all -of the different races have - layed in making history in this ountry by doing their duty to city, tate and nation and he furthermore eclared 1t to be his opinion that of oreign-born here, ninety-nine per f ent are loyal. “I hope we won't juestion the loyalty of any of our tizens. Let us not antagonize tho ho come among us to live. There re renegades among every class— here are renegade Americans—but on’t, gentlemen, stamp with sus- cion any particular race,” the mayor § leaded. Stand by the Flag—Klett. Senator George W. Klett spoke in \ similar vein. “It is well now to orget partisanship. It is our duty to ‘e calm and deliberate in our actions nd speech and not to give way to ny hysteria. It is our duty to stand y the administration. - Woodrow Vileon is our president and he is a jresident of a united people,” the sen- itor said. He then explained how ‘onnecticut has been first in the na- jonal preparedness movements by s military census and concluded by e statement: “Remember we are 1 true American citizens and we jelieve in standing by the flag-at any na all times.” fobflize Our Finances—Chambériain. Expressing pride in being a resident /f the state of Connecticut which to- ay stands out so pre-eminently as he leader in preparedness, State Jreasurer Frederick S. Chamberlain poke more particularly upon the fin- ncial and economical results of the var. In the first place he said that he American people must learn the ‘alue of the federal loan just as the seople of France take up the French ;overnment bonds. The federal loan nnldl, ‘he said, are the most positive lecurity for & man’s money in the world. The order to issue a loan of 55! 000,000,000, the speaker said, means that all the people have got ‘,o invest their savings in it. He forcib- brought out the absolute neoessity bf mobilizing not only men and re- iources but also of mobilizing the aation’s money. “We must stick to- gether and go through with this war o a finish—to 8 victorious war such 1s has been evegy other war in which he United Sta has embarged.” The address delivered by Compen- jation Commissioner George B. Shandler last night was the first one 10 had delivered before a political as- jemblage since he was first appointed .0 that position several years ago. He sscited haow last year he made over enty speeches, from Smith college o Stamford, Connecticut, advocating ational preparedness and universal flitary. training but at the time all ‘Jaughed at him. but today the merits his arguments are seen and recog- ized. It 1s easy to appeal to the jons of a gathering and by waw- ng the flag and by stirring words rouse the passions, but now is a time ‘hen the people should address them- ielves with great gravity. ! Don’t Be Deluded—Chandler. 3 Mr. Chandler said he fears that lhl- nation is entering the war too ight heartedly. He said he has waeard much talk to the effect that he United States will never have to ight and that a revolution in Ger- fiany will settle the question. “Let is not be deluded, Mr. Chandler said, for- we are fighting with the most wonderful people who ever un- sheathed a sword.

New Britain, Conn. tred against the great miass of the German people, the 70,000,000 people who have stood off the world for two and one-half years. Speaking of the federal loan of fifty billions of dollars Mr. Chandler said ; it means that every man, woman and child in the country must put in fifty dollars. Of this amount thirty dollars goes to the loan for the Allles and twenty dollars is spent for our owu preparedness. This loan and the ac- tion leading to it is a great thing, he said, because it has redeemed the honor and unity of the United States and has given the lie to those who have gone up and down the country declaring that those of foreign blood who come to our shores are not loyal. In reference to these loyal foreign- ers Mr. Chandler told with feeling how it must tug at their heartstrings to have to take up arms against their brothers across the ocean. But the German-American Alliance by its won- derful vote and pledge of loyalty to ' is worth every bit of 1t is the this country, that five billlons of dollars. wretched system of the oligarchy which. for decades has maintained this system of espionage, this system of having spies working into the vitals of other countries, that now causes the eye of suspicion to be cast upon those who are loyal, said Mr. Chandler as he made a plea for every American to exercise charity and to believe in the common loyalty of all. The Righteousness of the War. The righteousness of the war prob- lem now facing the United States was taken up by the Rocky Hill orator who declared that the United States need apologize to no one for her step. The submarine campaign, touched upon by the president, is only an incident in the real causes, he said. The war is a death grapple be- tween democracy and autocracy. Yes- terday the House of Romanoff tum- bled and, Mr. Chandler predicted,- ul- timately Russia will be come a de- mocracy. He then traced the line be- tween the warring nations showing that those with the democratic form of government; England, where the United States and the South Amer- jcan republice are lined up against the Central Powers representing au- tocracy. It Is the same principals that the United States fights for today as she has fought for in all her great wars. In the revolution she fought for the right of the people to rule. In the civil war she fought for unity and the freedom of all men under the American flag and this world war is |for the same issues. A War to the Limit. Recapitulating the causes leading to the war Mr. Chandler said that the world now knows that for two jor three decades this war had been meditated by the German govern- ment and the attempt to impose con- ditions on Serbia were such that no nation could accept them and main- tain her honor. He termed the in- vasion and desecration of the *supreme crime of history” and also termed King Albert of Belgium’s reply to Kaiser Wilhelm the most wonderful statement in history. It was “Belgium is a nation—not a road.” If it had not been for Bel- gium and the few hours those brave people held off the Germans, Paris would have fallen and we dare not {think what might have happened, said ithe speaker. TUntil recent congres- i | RHEUMATISM Physician Believes a G(‘nnlm‘ Rem- edy for the Diseasc Has Been Found. Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism remedy sold by Clark & Brainerd Co. and %Il druggists, gives quicker and more lasting relief than other reme- dies costing many times as much. Rheuma passes the deadly poison- ous secretions into the bowels and kidneys, from which they are quickly thrown off in a natural, healthy way. Read what a reputable physician says about Rheuma: “I have made a most careful investigation of the formula employed in the manufacture of Rheuma, and I heartily recom- mend it as a remedy for all forms of rheumatism. I find Rheuma far in ad- vance of the methods generally em- ployed in the treatment of rheuma- tism, and altogether different in com- position from the remedies usually prescribed.”—Dr. Lyons. This should give any sufferer from rheumatism confidence to try Rheuma. Belgium § sional action, Mr. Chandler said, we had almost reached the time when no crime against the people of the United States would be resented. But it was not so. The character, pride and loyalty of the American people was only slumbering and now has burst forth with a wonderful blaze of glory. Mr. Chandler dwelt upon the fact that the United States cannot go into this war half-heartedly and it cannot fight an independet war. It must be a war to the limit ad can be won only by complete -co-operation of all. The people of this country must learn for their brethren across the ocean ths lessons of sacrifice and economy. “Can’t we copy their virtues without copying their vices? Mr. Chandler asked. Referring to Germany he termed their universal training and their system of internal efficiency the most wonderful in the world and said it was worthy of being copied by the United States. If the U'nited States does not arouse itself. . If it does not learn internal efficiency then in the long run the German race, although possibly defeated in this war, will be the surving race. Strong belief in the survival of the fittest is part of Mr. Chandler’s creed and for this reason he urges complete co-operation and efficiency. less at some future time a more virile race will conquer the soil which our forefathers wrested from Great Britain. ‘The proposed League to Enforce Peace after the war was termed a thing worth trying by the speaker, but he was not over enthusiastic about it for he pointed out its falla- cles. The plan is for all the nations to pounce upon one nation when starts on a rampage, but the trouble is that nations form themselves into clubs, or alliances, and when several | ally themselves together the ILeague to Enforce Peace would be helpless- 1y split against itself. The lesson of this war, Mr. Chandler sdid, is that this nation, founded in the faith of God, shall live. The Heritage of the Republicans. Without bringing political issues it | into his arguments, but merely as;: an added argument to support the| country and its administration, Mr. Chrandler touched brieflly upon her itage of those of the republican party. Tt was the republican party, traced back to George Washington, Alex- ander Hamilton and ‘' John- ‘Adams, that was the leader in the :revolu- tionary war.. With Abraham Lincoln as standard bearer, it was the re- publican party that was instrumental in taking the step that saved the Union and again in the Spanish- In conclusion Mr. Chandler an earnest plea for the American people to be patient those whose hearts are wrung with having to take the step against their own, but American war it was through the re- publican party that :America kept her pledge to Cuba. Now, if the repub- licans are to be true to their heritage they will once more rally to the flag and do all in their power to work for the U. S. A. made have done it.
