While in_this Republicans or Democrats ISSUES DEMAND SETTLEMENT Democratic ‘Candidate Fod Vice President Argues Against Any Voters Balloting For Miner Partics As Protests. American New Brunswick, N. J., Oct. 28.— Franklin D. Roosevelt, democratic vice-presidential nominee in on @ad- dress here today, appealed to voters who are contemplating a “‘vote of protest” in the coming election to “think twice before casting their bal- lots away from the republican and democratic parties.” Argues Straight Ticket. . ‘“The issues this year,” he said, “are those of the present and not of the past. As I see it these voters should remember two things: First, that Senator Harding in his whole career has stood for reactionary as- sociations and methods and that Gov- ernor Cox has favored progress; sec- ondly, that on the question of for- eign relations, Governor Cox is in favor of a definite plan—that of going into ‘the existing league of na- tions with every American right safe- suarded while Senator Harding is op- posed to entering the league and with a divided party behind him, talks merely of attempting the impossible task of persuading the other nations to follow him into some new and undefined league. No criticism can attach to people voting the so-called minor tickets who really believe in the principles and candidacies represented by them. My appeal is to the vote of protest—the vote of people who say to themselves ‘I am disgruntled with what the re- publicans and democrats have = done and therefore I shall vote for another party in which I do not sincerely believe.” “Bveryone knows that a democrat or a republicag will be the next pres- ident of the United States. As be- tween these two. the resylt may be close and every vote will ‘count. Vot- ers who are considering the casting of a pr Vote should remember that the real choice lies between Gov- ernor Cox and Senator Harding and they ought to be influenced most of all by the major issues of the cam- paign.” BECKETT MURDER CASE T0 BE TRIED IN DEC. Alleged Self Confessed Slay- er of Jithneur My Have Insanity Plea. It is probable that Luman C. Beck- ett, who it is alleged by the state police, has confessed the murder of Charles Taft, the Hartford jitney driver in this city in February, 1918, will be put to trial at the coming term of the suptror courj in December. Beckett is at present'nearing the com- pletion of a sentence for a crime committed in Vermont, and for which he has served at the prison at Wind- sor, VL. This sentence will oon be com- pleted and the Connecticut authorities will Bring Beckett back. The kiling of Taft was an affair that was enshrouded in mystery for nearly two years, and when the pub- lic had accepted it as one of those af- fairs which go unsolved, Beckett is alleged to have “come across” to the, state police admitting that ht slew the Hartford jitneur. At the time of the killing here were numerous theories advanced as the motive for the slaying of tht pilot of “the Vene- tian Special,” as the death car was called. It was sald that Taft was very wel known in the underworld of Hartford and was in possession of considerable (Continued on Tenth Page). Torchlight Parade to .

Borgh of Idaho delivered a bitter argumenta- tive attack on the league of nations, un-American, decidedly BEuropean in charaocter, a maker of war instead of a prevent- ive, advocated a constitutional amendment which would give the people a referendum on any vote to send the nation into war and con- cluded with an appeal for the re- election of United States Senator Frank Brandegee who, he said, was one of the bravest and foremost de- fenders of American rights and Amer- ican principles as against the threat of the league of nations. The western- er also predicted a republican victory next Tuesday and said he felt sure ot the woman's vote if far no other rea- son that no noble woman, a mother, wife or sister, would want to vote for any internatianal contract that might send their boys to a foreign war with- out their having any voice in the matter, or#wvithout théir own govern- ment having a voice in the matter. Kiett and Sloper Talk Senator G. W. Klett apened the ral- Iy, which had been preceded by cam- paign songs by the Harding quartet, and introduced Hon, Andrew Jackson Sloper as the “old war horse of New Britain Republican party.” He presid- ed as chlirman, but before introduc- ing Senator Borah he madé an urgent plea for the re-election of Senator Brandegee wha, he said, would look after New- Britain and Conneeticut interests in the new senate and who would vote for a traiff revision which is essential to the welfare of New England manufacturers. Congressman Lonergan, his opponent, he said, pre viously voted against retaining the high protective tariff. Tribute to Late R. J. Vance In his talk on the tariff issue as it affects this section of the country, Mr: Sloper made an unfavorable com- parison between Mr. Lonergan and “our own Bob Vance 32 years ago.” He said that whereas Lonergan has voted against a protective tariff for the country, Mr. Vance, though a democratic member of congress from this district, fought for a protective tariff and in the halls of the house insisted that the tariff bill be re-writ- ten so that the business of his own district might be better protected. Flays Old New England Senator Borah kept his address en- tirely free from personal attacks on any of the oppasing candidates or leaders and his only criticism of the president was that he went to Europe with the best of intentions, but was hoodwinked by the astute European statesmen, especialy the British diplomats than whom, the senator said, there are none greater. he de- nied the truth of an editorial attack in a New York newspaper in which he was branded as too bitter a foe of England to be fair. He said he ad- mires the Fnglish people and many of their ideals, especially their un- conquerable courage and will and na- tional spirit. “I only want,” the speak- er said, “to keep alive that same un- conquerable national spirit of Ameri- canism.” He did however flay Eng- land unmercifully, especially in re- gards to what he termed that nation’s land grabbing since the armistice and their unwilingness to grant even a hearing to the thirteen millions of Egyptians who had aided the Allies and who wanted self-determination. No Freedom of Seas Taking up the league of nations, Senator Borah declared it to be far removed from what President Wilson had originally wanted. Asserting that it is a league of war and not a league of peace, he declared that the very first principle Wilsan had designated was the freedom of the seas. Yet two days after Wilson had sailed for Europe, Lloyd George proclaimed 'to all the world that England would set- tle her own naval problems and the matter would not be brought before the peace conference. The day before Wilson landed, Premier Clemenceau declared that he stood heartily in ac- cord with Lloyd George's views, Fur- thermore, Senator Borah called atten- tion to the fact that no provision for the abolition of conscription ot soldiers in peace time was passed by the league.

Thousands thronged every available space in the large cathedral, scores standing on chairs in the aisles, straining for a glimpse of the chancel, where the casket reposed on a cata- falque with four officers wearing the uniform of the Irish republican army standing motionless as a guard of honor. The casket was surrounded by wreaths and the hat which the lord mayor wore as commandant of the Cork brigade of the volunteer army. The breast plate of the coffin bore an inscription in Gaelic reading: “Murdered by the foreigner in Brixton prison, London, October 25, the fourth year of the republic. Aged 40 years, God have mercy on hs soul.” ‘Wife Not Present In the front pews reserved for the family and officlal delegations there was one figure missing, the lady mayoress, who collapsed this morn- ing from the strain and anxiety and was unable to be present at the cere- mony in the cathedral.

COX CHARGES LORIMER WITH UNFAIR ATTACKS Accuses Saturday Evening Post of Ante-Election Misstatements. Dayton, O., Oct. 28.—Another state- ment charging the Saturday Evening Post and its editor, George Horace Lorimer with unfair partisanship was issued today by Governor Cox. “The insidious purpose of the Sat- urday Evening Post cloaktd under non-partisan methods for the past de- cade and more, has finally been brought to light” Governor Cox de- clared, stating that it had made mis- statements only four daye before elec- tion when it was impossible to cor- rect them. That the Curtis Publishing Co. had been found guilty by the Federal Trade Commission of violating the antitrust laws by unfair practices in distributing its periodical was asserted by Governor Cox. The governor's statement follows: “When early in the week I called attention to the guerilla tactics of the Saturday Evening Post on the basis of its last mine attack on me, the re- sponse of Mr. Lorimer, its editor, was that my action was unethical. I am perfectly willing to leave the decision on ethics to the vo<ers of America, many of whom have been life time readers of the Saturday Evening Post and who from the time of its origin’ have looked upon it as a household | journal to which they rendtred devo- tion because it took no part in parti- san campaigns.
