SHOE NORWICH BU 'IN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER Congressman Higgins Is Renominated to °»*% | Unanimous Choice of Delegates In Convention Here— Candidate’s Acceptance Speech Met With Hearty Approval—Banquet Followed Adjournment. With an attendance of 135-in town hall at 12.30 o'clock Thursday noon, Costello Lippitt, chairman of the con- gressional committee, called the con- vention of the Third congressional dis- trict to order. As chairman, B. F. Williams of Ston- ington in a_pleasing manner nominated Hon. John Hopson of New London, and | he was unanimously chosen. Chair- man Hopson accepted the office with a short address, referring to the con- gressional conventions he had attended and to the excellent nominees, and he named John T. Waite, Charles A. Rus- sell and Senator Brandegee. After the selection of Hon. Edwin W. Hig- gins Chairman Hopson stated that he surrendered the chairmanship of the congressional committee to your pres- ent genial ghairman. As clerks, Byron A. Fones of New London and W. S. Ford of Prampton were named. Committees Named. The committees on credentials and resolutions were named as _follows: Credentials—C. B. Leonard. Windham T. O. Elliot, Pomfret; Edwin B. Ham- mond, Waterford; Lafaystte W. Starr, New London; N. H. Hall. Prestan. Resolutions—Costello Lippitt, Norwich: D. W. Chester, Groton; F. X. Casavant, Griswold; C. E. Leonard. Windham’ Isaac Champeau, Putnam. The committez on credentials report- ed the attendance of delegates from the 36 towns of the district to the number of 108, and was accepted. Edwin W. Higgins Nominated. When nominations were called for, George A. Hammond of Putnam took the floor and told of Windham county having been represented in congress, as representative of this district, by Charles A. Ruseell, and they deserved for such a remarkable man. Since his death, however, the present incum beni has made good. This can be said HON. EDWIN W. HIGGINS. by Putnam and Willimantic as well a the entire Windham county. and he nominated Hon. Edwin W. Higgins for a return o Ccongress. Henry Rceves of Sprague hoped for the hearty support of the candidate . in seconding the nominu- t of Congressman_ Higgins. fayette Starr of New London etat- ed that in the five years that Congress man Higgins has served the district h has done wonderful work, alws 00k~ ing after the interests of the constit- uents. and has never neglected an op- portunity of assisting them whenever his power. His qualifications are right. Because of his experlence can perform the duties of the office ter than any other man. Oue sen- as said of him: “He is the first who has gone into congress and off his coat and gone to work he first He seconded the nom- ination In his seconding speech B Wil ame of Stonington. after referring to the many men of prominence sent to ongress from this district, challenged nvone to say that Higgins is behind iny of his predecessor No duties er developed upon them more stren- ous than he has handled. You know vhat he has done in the way of public buildings. soil survey. rivers and har- bors, and a port of entry New London, the public bullings being in both New London and Windham coun- ties. He never turms a deaf ear to the cause of the old soldier or any cause he has to do with in Washing- ton. He stood valiantly behind the la- mented Lilley when that fight was on in eongress and has never been found for wanting. All predicted his re-election. (Applause.) | Congressman Higgins was renomi- nated for tha position by acclamation, which met w prolonged applause and there was another enthusiast! outburst when he was presented by Frank G. Letters of Putnam and H ry Reeves of Sprague, who were dele- gated to notify him. Congressman Higgins Speak Congressman Higgins then made the following addres which stirred the gathering, appealing strongly to the delegates, who accordsd him another round of applause at its close: | Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention: For five years, or in three con- gresses. it has been my high privilege to hold tha power of attorney of th people of this district in the greates legislative body in the world. Through- out this service I have remained con- scious of vour ideals and have tried to faithfully serve this district, state | and nation.” It has bean my unvarying ambition to represent all of the peopl. of this district, increase its prestige and power., conserve its interests and maintain its effectiveness as one of the 351 districts of the 46 states of the union. It cannot be withou tion and pride that I acknowledge your action today. It stimula one to greater effort. It forces a renewal of former obligations. Tt moves me to a realization of greater responsibility that T cannot fittingly present in words Work of Present Administration. Tt seems proper at this time that there should be some presentation and reviow of the work accomplished by the present administration. An appre- ciation of the wise legislation carefully considered by the last congress and enacted in the interests of the whole p2ople will command their full appro- bation. The mere recital of some of the legislative enactments® emphasizes the intelligence and industry of this congress and its conception of its duty to the whole pzople. The republican party offers-no apologies for its record achievements and honest purposes. This congress intelligent and constructive has kept the pledgss made by the re publican party and s the party re- | A Sponsible to the country for legisla- - i i Tlotl- B CATPled S 10) wr.

Congress also created a special committee to investigate the extent and character of railroad stocks and report on the pos- sibility of federal control of railroads and report on the possibility of federal control of all railroad securities. It provided, as the republican party pledged in its platform, for a system of postal savings banks, thus afford- ing small depositors the security of the United States treasury and guar- anteeing two per cent. interest on their deposits. It granted statehood to Arizona and New Mexico; ing of the thirteenth censu was taken under the civil service. passed drastic legislation designed to prevent. collisions at sea, a law requir- ing the more general use of safety ap- pliances on railroads, providing for the publicity of campaign contributions; it appropriated $200,000 to enable the de. partment of justice to prosecute vio- lators of the Sherman anti-trust law: it created the bureau of mines to minimize the dangers to mine em- ployzs. These are but a few of the laws enacted by the last congress, an. in one session the present COnNgT passed more laws than the complete Revision of the Tariff. i This congress met in extra session March 15, 1909, and adjourned Aug 1909. This session was called primari- ly to meet the pledges of the party re- sponsible for the legislation made to the pzople in the last national conven- tion. It had been ten years since there| was a revision of the tariff. The Ding- ley law had as promised brought prosperity. The great changes during that time in conditions in the factory, on the farm and in the mine had made it necessary that there should be a readjustment of tariff schedules. Pres- ident Taft declared “that the object of the revision was not to destroy pro- tect>d industries in this country, but it was to continue to protect them where lower rates offered a sufficient protection to prevent injury by foreign competition.” He s was the object of the ravision as advocated by me, and it certainly the object of the revision as promised in the repub- lican platform.” Value of Farms. New ¥ngland commercially has quired her position through her manu factures. Its importancs in agricul- ture has with the development of the tarm lands of the west been diminish- ing until 1 hope the necessity of more people In this section returning to tha soil is becoming apparent. There is hardly a section of the country that has been so little favored by nature as ours in its resources. The commercial value of our New England farms has Commercial New England 16, 1910 been lost sight of in our attentoin to industrial pursuits. The major part of our people are devoted to call- ings which do not in the first instance furnish foodstuffs. The New England farmer has the best market in the world at his deor, and no other factor contributes so much to the present high cost of living than our failure to make the soil, which is our greatest source of wealth in the country, yield a greater bounty nearer the point of con- umption. 1 hope the soil survey of Windham county which is now in progrees and which I hope to get ex tended _to New: London county will abuse the minds of some people as to tiie fertility and possibilities yet in- herent in our Connzcticut farm’ lands. It is theirs to feed the toiling masses centered in our cities, where there are more to the square mile than in other part of the country. The pre census now being completed will di close a large migration from: the coun- try to the town. I believe the tide has turned and when it reaches the flood the New England farm will bear nearer its proportion of the burden of feeding our people and at the same time will help solve the greatest economic ques- tion which has yet confronted us. ar Protect Labor from Cheap Foreign Competition. By the enactment of the last tariff bill. as with all republican tariff bills, we protect our labor from the competi- tion of the lower paid labor of Europe and Asia. The tariff. while furnish- ing revenue to maintain the govern ment. protects our people from a de moralizing competition with the scan- ty paid labor from abroad and holds the American market for American la- bor. New England, more than any other section of the country, is inter- ested in the protection of Am labor and American industr the locality from _which criticisms huried at the last tariff bill from re- publican statesmen has come. By that our section receives more than its due proportion of benefit. I from admitting the truth of charge, nor would I disclaim s: evident compliment. for it is alleged that through its representatives in both branches of congress New Eng- land secures national influence greater than its population, wealth, and importance deserves, The hun- dreds of different items of the present and does reflect the judgment and wish of our ninety millions of people. The necessity of the protective policy is nation wide. Its beneficent effe are not bound by state or locality lines. T agree with the proposition that “in its inception in America the protective tariff found its justfication in the fact that it built up our infant industries. In its maturity the protective tariff finds its justification in the fact that it is the mightiest single instrument in_this nation for maintaining the prosperity of all classes and all sec- tions of our common country.” Conservation of Natural Resources. The question of the conservation of our natural resources. so forcibly brought to the attention of our people by the last administration, has been advanced by this congress under the wise leadership of President Taft. The question of conserving our natural re- Freckles A Simple, Sure, Quick, Safe Treatment That Removes Them Like Magic. sources wthin our legal powers for future generations with a wise and | sufficient use of them for the wholg people of this immediate generation appeals to the practical, sound busi- ness sense of our people, and is met and will be met by the enactment of effectual legislation. » have deemed it my duty to advocate and vote for the bill for the .establishment of the White and Appalachian mountain for- est reserve. Apparent obstacles in the way of administration of this law have been removed. During the next ses- sion of congress I expect this legisla- tion both bodies and become a law. The promises made to the now rap- idly diminishing ranks of civil war veterans have always been regarded by the republican party as a sacred pledge and have been and will be kept inviolate by that party, ¥ Working to Prevent Waste and Ex- travagance. The demands upon the federal treas- ury for appropriations within and without the jurisdiction of the federal government are enormous. While our appropriations have greatly increased and the activities of the government greatly extended, our population and wealth have likewise grown apace and the developments and benefits federal supervision and control have been apparent and yet the present con- gress reduced the appropriation: the preceding vear nearly 29 mi A more strict accountability disbursement of public funds quired than in private en administration, thr pert buSiness men, is reorganizing all the departments of government to pre- vent any wasteful and extravagant | expenditures, do away with the dupli- cation of work by the different bu- reaus and maintain the affairs of the greatest business concern on earth up to the most economical administration will receive favorable action by | from | for | with no sacrifice of utility.
