Thompson Was Passenger on Wrecked Trai New Haven, Oct. 3—Among- those who were on the Springfield express, wrecked at Westport were Everard S. Thompson, manager of the Yale News, formerly of Norwich and H. M. Merry, manager of Taft hotel. The latter sald upon arrival here that the Pull- man took fire so quickly and burned that it seemed likely that if any per- sons were in it, it would have been hard for them to escape. From the actlons of the passengers, who sur- rounded the car, Mr. Merry thought that the loss of life was entirely con- fined to the first Pullman. Mr. Thomp- son saild that the locomotive bofler exploded after the coaches were over- turned and this set fire to the latter. He thought that most of the passen- gers got out of the cars with little difficulty and few seemed to be se- riously hurt. PROMINENT IN ALBANY. Brady and Hamilton Families Known in Society.

Studley of New Haven, re- publican candidate for governor, open- ed his campaign with a speech at a republican rally here tonight, in which he pointed out that the republican party was the party of real progregs and declared that if President Taft had not vetoed the tariff bills re- cently passed by congress under dem- ocratic leadership, “we would now be in the shadow of such paralyzing bus- iness distress as followed the passage of the Wilson bill in President Cleve- land’s administration.” Discussed State Issues. Discussing state issues, he said: “I have seen much suffering from physical misfortunes, most frequently from the ravages of consumption. It would be a blessing if the state of Connecticut would help care for the familles of those who are stricken down with the disease until the bread winner is again able to support his family. Let that good work begun by a republican legislature and republi- can governor be fostered and extend- ed. Workingmen’s Compensation Act. “The party platform this year is un- equivocally In favor of a working- men’s compensation act. Fervenily do I hope that an act may be passed by our next legislature that will give to the working man and working wo- man the protection they have a right to expect; an act so drawn that it will be equftable to the employer and to the employes. In my opinion it will not only be an act 8t humanity and of justice, but it will be a goad investment for the state of Connecti- cut to stand its share of expemse in this matter. . ‘ Investigation of Abattolrs. “In the republican platform you will find a declaration in favor of abbatoirs. Here again I wish the simpler word, slaughterhouse, had been used. They tell us that the beef trust may take a hand in this issue. Let the beef trust take a hand if it sees fit. The republican party plat- form recommends that a speclal com- mission be appointed by the governor to investigate this matter and to re- port before the close of the coming general assembly. I am confident that such a commission will work out a plaf under which the farmer will be able to raise cattle and sheep to his of the consumer in our home markets. The proposition that the state should encourage the raising of cattle is a step in the right direction. Extension of Work of Agricultural College. “Born and bred in the country, up in the Litchfield hills, I have always had the countrybred boy's interest in the farm. And I favor with every lover of Connecticut the extension of the work of our state agricultural col- lege and our agricultural experiment station to aid the farmer in the study of his soil, and in the better treat- ment of it so that better and more crops may be raised. You men who work in the factories of the state are dependent on the success of farming quite as much as is thé farmer who makes his living directly by produc- ing farm products. And so there is a general state interest in the suc- cess of farming, in safeguarding our manufacturing interests and in the humanizing influences of ' beneficent legislation. These things the repub- lican party stands for, these things it will work for in the halls of legisla- tion. | Home Rule for Cities. “By reference to the party platform you will note that the republican par- ty stands for progress in the matter We take the position that the mem- bers of the legislature from the coun- try towns are not Interested in the local business matters of a city, and they cannot give to that other com- munity the proper consideration. The party platform takes the advanced ground that the cities should be per- mitted to provide for their local im- provements subject to certaln safe- guards. The republican party believes in home rule.” TAFT MEN DISFRANCHISED. Californians Must Write Names on . Ballot to Vote for Him.
