Financegy More Attacking ex-Governor Marcus H. Holcomb's speech in Southington Tuesday night, Addison B.

That state- ment does not become a man who has been entrusted with such a high public office by his fellow citizens, and it is most un-American.” He also sald, that from what he had read in the papers lately, this state needed someone to ' run s banks and finances more than someé- one to run its politics. “The present situation is unlike anything we have ever had before,” he declared, and it is hard for a man But every voter is a stockholder in the greatest corporation in the world, and ow next 'Tuesday thig corporation is going fo elect offi- cers.” Mr. Colvin urged his listen- ers to vote as they thought best, but to be sure to vote, fhat we might Rot have any charge of minority kovernment made ugain this year, Reflects On Harding’s Judgment Calvin Coolidge was held up by Mr. Colvin as the man best fitted, as a man from this section, the first in years. He said that the president had had a hard fight, and had had “bad men to contend with, placed in, office ill-advisedly by his predeces. sor.” The election of Coolidge, he C_nmlnlli’d, would ensure the con- tinuation of conditions, Which Mr. Colvin saftl werd “at leas reasonably satisfactory. “The only two men with a possible chance of election are Coolidge and Bryan. La Follette has no more chance of heing clected than any of you bave,” the speaker declared, “We don't want Bryan principler, and Charles W. Bryan stands behing every principle of the brother whom the people of this country have three times rejected.” Continuing his exhortation to vote, Mr. Colvin called attention to past elections deicded by one vote and to the fact that one presid rested on 1,000 votes fn New York state.

Danielson, Oct. 30. — Conductor Joseph' P. Noyer of New London, and Engineer Joseph C. Bartlett of Midway, Conn., were given into the custody of Sheriff Charles E. Ayer, by Coroner Arthur G. Bill at noon today, following the morning session of the inquest into the death of two trainmen fatally injured as a result of the railroad crash at Putnam early Jast Friday evening. The coro- ner sald that admissions by Bartlett and Noyer had established that they had bheen criminally negligent and that he would ask that a bench warrant be issued for thelr arrest on a charge of manslaughter. Each was held in bonds of $2,000 by the coroner and this noon were making an effort to obtain bail through the rajlroad brotherhoods to which they belong. Claims Admissions According to the coronmer Noyer and Bartlett both admitted that the special freight train No. 1314, of which they were in charge had backed into the siding at Putnam, where it was later struck by a pas- scnger train, and that though spe- clally charged with the duty of do- ing so under the railroad rules, they Had failed to close the switch. They also admitted, the coroner sald that the fieight train had not backed sufficiently far into the siding to permit a clear right of way for the passenger train. Even though the switch had been closed, the coroner said, it was admittcd that the pas- senger train would have sideswiped the freight. Tells of Conversation Fireman Joseph J. Davis of New London, who was a!so on the special freight was testifying when the corner recessed his inquiry at noon Davis, in the course of his testimony, told of visiting Fireman Joseph ‘Hoppman, of the passenger train, one of the victims of the wreck at the Day Kimball hospital in Putnam and of talking to F. Stephen Stickney, who was deadheading home in the passenger locomottve: cab.. He quoted Btickney as saying that ¥ngineer Willlam F. Carpenter of the passenger train, the othey wreck vietim, remarked to him as they were approaching the siding that it did not seem that the freight was far enough into the siding. As he did so, Stickney was quoted as saying, the engineer shut off the steam and applied the brakes, but too late to avoid the collision, The inquest will be resumed this afternoon.
