INVESTIGATING DEATH OF CHARLES BOLLES. Montville Man Struck by a Train Near Comstock's Wharf Crossing. Coroner Franklin H. Brown is in- vestigating the death of Charles Bolles of Montville, who died there Monday night at the hame of Mrs. Jared Bolles, after being found badly injur- ed near the Central Vermont railroad trask near the crossing which leads to Comstock’s wharf. It is supposed he may have been struck by the boat train. He had a fractured skull and other bodily injuries. The coroner learned that Bolies came to AMontville Monday shortly after 7 o'clock. About 8.30 o'clock he was at the plant ¢f the Thames Specialties Co., where he talked with Watchman Davis about securing a job. After a brief conversation he departed for his home. Shortly before the accident a woman living beside the track heard singing, and she remarked at the time, “There goes Charlie Bolles home.” She knew this to be the case because Bolles had a reputation for always be- ing in a cheerful mood and singing. Charles Bolles was 34 years of age, and for some time was employed as a brakeman by the Central Vermont railway. Two years ago he was in a railroad wreck, in which he lost one foot of one leg and the toes of the other, He was of a genial and pleas- t disposition and well liked by rail- road men who knew him.

Warren Davis President—Meeting at Buckingham Memorial Has Attendance of 100—Hon. Herbert Knox Smith Pleads the Cause of the Colonel. o s B The first local gathering of the pro- gressive party was held Tuesday even- ing in the Buckingham Memorial, with an attendance of about 100 men of this city and surrounding towns. The meeting was opened by Gilbert IL. Hewitt, and seated on the platform with him were H. F. Palmer, John H. Barnes, Rev. N. B, Prindle of Preston city and Hon. Herbert Knox Smith. Considerable enthusiasm was shown and the meeting was marked with fre~ quent bursts of applause. H. R. Branche acted as temporary clerk. The first business was the election of officers of the club, and when nom- inations were asked for H. F. Palmer presented the name of @G. Warren Davis for president, and the latter was | unanimously elected. Mr. Davis then | took the chair and thanked those pres- ent for the honor conferred upon him. Rev. Mr. Prindle nominated for vice president John G. Potter, who. how- ever, refused the nomination, as did Attorney John H. Barnes. Herman Alofsin was unanimously elected to the position, being nominated by Gilbert L. Hewitt. Mr. Alofsin presented the name of Frank H. Foss for secretary and he was elected. Woodbury O. Rogers, nominated by Charles A. Hag- berg, was elected treasurer. ‘When the question of a name for the organization was brought up Frank Ii. Foss suggested as an appropriate title The Progressive Roosevelt club of Norwich, and it was voted to adopt this name. John H. Barnes Speaks, Attorney John H. Barnes was then fntroduced and spoke in part as fol- lows: The condition of affairs in our coun- try today demands drastic measures. In this, the greatest and richest coun- try on the earth, the poor and middle classes are robbed right and left. Trusts are dissolved and their stock goes up #nd prices are raised to pay the expense of litigation. The consum- | er pays the prices. This condition will continue to exist until something is done to change it. There are some good and powerful men in the counfry working for the good of the people, regardless of po- litical panrties. ‘Willlam Randolph Hearst, a democrat, has used his time and money and influence in the inter- ests of the people. He is a man whom I can respect and admire. In our own party we have the same sort of a man devoted to public interests. He says he is striving to do what he can for the masses. Deciares for Roosevelt. The man who is striving for the peo- ple’s interests should be encouraged and upheld. 1 endorse the name of Theodore Roosevelt for president. As a republican it is my intention to vote for the republican nothinees for state election. But I have pledged on my honor and on my beliefs to assist in the re-election of Theodore Roosevelt —— as president of the United States. At Washington three days ago ex-Senator| Scott testified under oath that in the elections of 1904 and 1908 not one Qol- lar was contributed by the trusts to aid in the election of Theodore Roose- velt. If he could be elected twice without trust money, he can be elected a third time. With the right men in power proper laws could be passed in 48 hours which would say to the trusts: You shall not rob! You shall not steal from the people! You may have so much, and no more! Want the Direct Primaries. I hope and pray for the time to come when the president of the United States will be nominated by direct pri- maries in every state in the union. Let the people vote. We want it so that the man with the dinner pail, whoeve? he is, can cast his vote as well as the rich man, so that he shall have a volce in the government. Committ Named. The declaration of principles given out at the state convention was then read by Secretary Foss. The chair announced the appointment of the following committees: Membership, Charles A, Hagberg, Frank T. Maples, Charles H. Raynes, Willlam C. Kes dall, George W, Allen, William F. Woeds, D. J, Handelman, E. Larue Bliven, Sherwood B. Potter, James L. Tourtellotte, William A, Thurston; executive committee, John G. Potter, H. C. Lane, Charles A. Hagberg, S. E. Bliven, John M. Swahn, John H. Al- len, M. D, Herman Alefsin, Henry F. Paimer; ways and means. Herman Alofsin, H. R. Branche, Woeodbury O, Rogers, John H. Barnes, Willia H. Stebbins, Gilbert 1. Hewitt. Censorship of the Press. President Davis spoke briefly of the recent meeting at Hartford, at which he was practically the only represent- atlve of eastern Connecticut. This was due, he said, to lack of previous knowledge of the meeting on the part of many who would have attended, had it not been for the fact that the press kept the matter quiet. Theodore Roosevelt says that there s a power- ful censorship of the press, and from experience I find that he is right. I now introduce a man who has been closely connected with the affairs of the government for some time and who left a government position to take j Roosevelt cam- paign—gion. Herbert Knox Smith. On the Chicago Convention. A great, mew political party, said Mr. Smith, i3 sweeping over the Unit- ed States tonight, in all its towns and cities. Norwich in all its 250 years has seen nothing more important -than this great tide, We cannot prophecy how far it willlextend, but it will flow & long way. The two old parties hav. failed us. The republican party has gone beyond us and climaxed in the Chicago -convention. 1 would like to speak briefly of that convention. . The republican national committee is composed of 53 men from the vari- ous states and territories. These men are not appointed by the voters, but by the national convention. The na- tiona] committee makes up the tem- porary roll of the national convention They hear the contested cases and make up the temporary roll absolute- Iy as they pleage. Taft was nominat- ed by 21 votes. 1If 11 Taft delegates had been taken out and 11 Roosevelt delegates substituted Mr. Taft would not have been elected. In the state convention at Washing- ton of 668 delegates, 283 were for Roosevelt, uncontested. The committee seated 89 more, making 333 for Mr, Roosevelt, within two of the majority. The biggest contest was in Kings county, which sent 121 delegates to the state convention. The repubii- cans of that county by a vote of three to one decided to hold primaries in that county. Taft received 600 votes and Roosevelt 6,400, electing 121 Roose- velt delsgates from that county, These, udded to the 338, gave Mr. Roosevell a big majority for the state,' Ballinger then arranged for a meeting of elev- en of the members of tlie conmnities of Kings county, and these eleven mern decided that the primary was illegal, and appointed 121 Tait delegates to the state convention, The Taft forces took control of the convention hall and refused admittance to the Roesevelt men. The Roosevelt delegaties did the only thing left to do—they held a sep- araie comwention electing 14 Roose- state | i velt delegates to the national conven- tion. The national republican commit- tee decided the contest in favor of the Taft delegates, Those 14 votes would have changed the nomination. If they can do this, the national committee can do anything they see fit. Taft All Through. The national committee, being a Taft body, seats a Taft temporary roll. This temporary body seats a Taft chairman and appoints a cerdentials committee, which is, of course, a Taft committee. This committee decides the cases as originally settled by the na- tional committee, and the permanent roll 18 made up with a Taft majority. The next business is the nomination of the president, and then the national committee is apointed for the mnext four years. Four years later the same thing is repeated. The national com- mittee is all powerful. Rooseveit forces. or any other protesting forces are helpless in the republican party. The démocratic convention in Balti- more met with the sole aim of nomin- ating a man who would be elected, and but for a slight slip they might have succeeded in their purpose. The Par- ker-Bryan fight arose and the de crats were forced to nominate a man who is styled a progressive. Democratic Party Afraid. The democratic party today and in history is a party of narrow construc- tlon—a party afraid of power; a party minimizing federal rights and strengthening state rights. They do not stand for the kind of power nec- essary to do what I wish to see don You must have power behind the par ty and behind the government. The progressive party stands for pow to be uséd in the Interests of the people who give that power. Today the only means of effecting national action, which is open to you, is through the political party, and f you cannot work the political machin- ery and must let another operate it for you, you are not a free American citizen, but a slave. My old republican party left me, The democrats offered - nothing which I would support. - 1 resigned the position which I had held for nine y i the government service to go new party, because it is progressive by the convictions of the men who make it up, not” of necessity as the democrats are; becauge it stands for men and not for money; because the men who make it up want the direct vote and primary, and because at iis head is the greatest political leader and statesman of today—Colonel Rooseyelt. On the close of Mr. Smith's address. which met much applause, President Davis announced the state convention to be held on next Tuesday at the Hy- perion ‘theater in New Haven, and urged all who could possibly do so to attend. How the Party is Progressing. Preeident Davis then presented Hor. Ernest Walker Smith of Hartford, at wose home the first Connecticut pro- gressive party ting was held. Mr, Smith teld of iting the small towns surrounding Hartford and of the deep interest shown by the men in these little communities in the new party. The movement, he says, starts slowly, but is gaining impetus all the time. [ have been in politics for ten years, but never have I seen such sincerity and enthusiasm as shown,in the promul- sion of the new party. Get out and hustle for the party: this is the be- SPENDING VACATION HERE. || Rev. C. M. Gallup of Central Baptist Church of Providence. Rev. Clarence M.

CUTTING DOWN QUOTA OF NON-COM OFFICERS, Adjutant General Issues New Order Bearing on Proportion of Officers to Enlisted Men. Over-officering a C. N. G. company has been common in late vears, when the memberships of many companies have fallen below minimum, It is customary, no matter what the size of tho company, to keep all the non-com- missioned offices filled. An order aim- ed to prevent this has been issued from the office of the adjutant general.
