D., Yale University, Says ; Lincoln Was the Greatest Man of the Nineteenth Cen- tury—Doces Not Suffer by Comparison With Other Great Men of the Age—Lecturer Draws Striking Paral- . lel to the Life of Christ. The opening lecturé of the course at Slater Hall was given by Dean Charles R. Brown D. D, L. L. D. of Yale University, Tuesday evening, the sul ject being The Greatest Man of ti Nineteenth Century. The hall was filled with an interested and appreci- ative audience. Dean Brown is a most pleasant and entertaining speaker and the subject was very near to his heart it was evident, He gave due credit to all those early in the century who might lay down to greatness and even included a few women in that list but passed on to the middle of the nineteenth century to Lincoln as the man who might be considered as not only the greatest man of his time, but of all our his- tory. And this opinion he proceeded to substantiate. Abraham Lincoln came to the presi- dency of the United States under the most_ difficult and delicate conditions any president has had to confront. Not Washington, in the earliest period of our national history nor Wilson in the present troublous ttmes have had to face the problems and trials which Lincoln faced. These conditions may be broadly zrouped under six heaas—first he came to an empty treasury, then he stood at the head on an inesverienced party. He was supported or perhaps burd- ened by a set of counsellors who were suspiciotissof his ability to handle the situation. All through Europe the at- titude toward the United States was unfriendly and it was not known what form this unfriendliness might take. Even in the North a Very large and influential element was discouraged and despondant. And there. was the armed rebellion of the South. Surely no more complex ana disheartening outlook ever faced an incoming presi- dent. A Great and Good Man. To offset and mold all this the greatness of Lincoln stands out. He was a combination of lofty idealism and well-seasoned sagacity. He was a great and good man. His was a simple, every-day goodness. Not a Zoodness like that of John the Bap- tist hat went out inta the wilderness and fasted and praved but the kind that saw what to do and then did it. He hitched his wagon to a star and then kept 1: moving along the ground. It was this doing and_accompiishing that made him rank above Emerson, Goethe and Darwin. He met and mas- tered the difficulties. He saw the slaves set free, -the Union preserved. Fle might well quoté at the end of his ays It enough: now lettest thy servant depart in peace.” Lincoln possessed the power of comprehending men 6f extreme views. He refused to represent and be loyal| to only one party. He was assailed on 1 sides by men of widely differing views. Wendall Phillips denounced | him as a slave driver. Preservation of the Union. Horac Greeley scourged him through the columns of his newspaper and the war democrats were constantly beat- ing bim. Yet he was aole to see the deep underlying principle of them all, namely the preservation of the Union. He possessed also the power of hold ing himself closely to the hearts of the common people and steadily guid- ing them in the right way. Not in a fussily bossing manner but so simply that they hardly percelved it. Even in the South there began to grow & feeling that Lincoln was not a tyrant, but a friend. Weeks before Lee su: rendered his soldiers had begun to feel this, Lincoln had three of the qualifica- tions of leadership, a mreat personal integrity, a great common sense and the keenest sense of humor. He pos- sessed the gift of terse, meaty speech. He also knew men, His moral integrity and political un- selfishness were significant in a time when _these two virtues were conspic- uous by their absence in many of the men in office. He de"ed, not that he might save the counf#ly, but that the country might be saved. He had no personal pride or resentment and no self-seeking. Often he pladated an angry and peevish under-secretary because he felt the country needed him. He wiilt his life and conduct by the precepts of the book which he read and_studied and always kept at his hand, the Bible. Compared With Other Great Men. 1f we compare Lincoln with some of the other great men of the nineteenth century, he does not lose. Napoleon, great indeed, but often cruel, always egotistical and in his domestic life not above reproach. Goethe, a gen- ius, whose private life does not bear close scrutiny and Darwin and Spen- cer, great intellectual Surely Lin- coln does not_suffer by comparison. In looking back at the past it is so easy for us to see the course each leader sh#ild have taken. So easy to see what should have been done in each isis. But those making his- tory have perhaps found it more dif- ficult to live through. Lincoln’s life, is measured by accomplishment would seem to have been a very long one. At his death all classes were affect- ed. At one exd of the scale Queen Victoria forgot or laiz aside the for- mality of royalty and wrote as one widow to another. And in one locali- ty in the South the simple, humble negroes declared that after Lincoln died the thrushes sang no more for a vear. ’ Like Unto Christ. A closing parallel is perhaps evident to us all. In the utmost reverses we may perhaps perceive the s ilarity of Lincoln’s life to that of the Son of Man. Christ was born in a_stable, Lincoln in hut. Christ was the son of o Lincoln Both ple lang and ¢ to point their lessons. bigots and dull- each had an abiding seems no accident that Tincoln met his death on Good Fri day and that he bore the Hebrew name Abr REV.

WEDDING. Newell—Taft. Saturday evening at 6 o'clock, Miss Edith A Taft_of West Upton, Mass., formerly of Norwich, daughter of and_Mrs. I Plummer Taft,_ was united in marriage with Louis Mar- shal Newell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Al- bert J.

(Special to The Bulletin.) Hartford, Oct. 17.—At the close of the meeting of the republican state central committee here yesterday the reports based on careful study and canvass of the situation in each of the 168 towns in the state were gnalyzed, with the result that a state-wide sum- mary of conditions was compiled by the state cemtral committee officers. ‘The reports—every one who reported was impressed with the necessity of underestimating _rather than over- estimating so that an unbiased sum- mary of the probable vote might he sccured—indicate that the republican party in Connecticut is reunited in fact, and that not more than 5 per cent. of those who voted for progres- sive nominees in 1912 will vote for other than republican candidates on Nov. 7. Points to Republican Success. This estimate points to republican success in Connecticut in 1916, There can be no other way of interpreting the figures. And it means republican success in the state by large majori- ties. In 1912 the vote in Connecticut was: Roosevelt 34,120, Taft 65,324, Wilson 74,561. ' By adding 95 per cent. of the Roosevelt volt to the republi- can vote of 1912, the resuit, not con- sidering the new voters this year, in- dicates a republican vote in 1916 of more than $0,000. Considering that the switches from the republicon vote of 1912 to the democratic party in 1916 10 be as groat as the swilches from Wilson in 1912 to Hughes in 1916—and there is every reason to believe that the switches will be greater to Hughes than to Wilson—the outlook if for re- publican success by a large majority. This does not take into account the new voters of 1016, men who have moved into the state or whd have reached their majority since 1912. A caretul canvass of this feature of the situation has made it certain that more than half of the new voters will vote republican on Nov. 7. Remember Tariff Law’s Effects. A canvass of some of the largest in- dustrial plants of the state—a fine- tooth comb canvass which has bec more effective than a hundred stray votes could be—has indicated that the sentiment of rs in manufactu ing plants this year is as strong for protective tariff as it was in 1912— wlhen both republican and progressive parties stood for protection of wages and together polled nearly 30,000 more votes than the democratic candidate, who stood on a platform of tariff for revenue only and whose party subse- quently put imto effect a tariff 5 I that it not only did not provide s cient revenue but required a war tax when the nation was at peace to se- cure money enoush to meet the ex- penses of the democratic congress, the most extravagant congress in history. The tariff is considered by the in- dustrial plant emploves of the stata above everything else, the reports of committeemen indicated. The decelv- ing eight-hour issue is being ceen through by Connecticut vots men in the factories are thinking of the nine months under the Underwood tariff up to the day when the E pean war came and estiblished a bar- rier to importations of cheaply made European products as effective as a republican tariff and at the same time prowided “war bride prosperity” which will disappear the day peace is de- They remember 'those first e months “under the Underwood tariff, when factories throughout Con- necticut were running but three days a week, when forces were reduced even for those ethree days of work weekly, when skilled mechanics were glad to find employment even shoveling and when hundreds were apy municipalities for any ki Talk of “Gold Brick” Even in railroad circles, the committcemen ren faction is bezinning to eight hour bil men reported that at a large meeting held last Saturday in this_state to uss the Adamson bill and its pro- visions a delezation of railroad men was present to get informarion about the bill. The railroad men we: -ank to admit that they were beginning to see the probable cffects of the Adam- son legislation, an dthat did not like it. One of the railroad men quoted the recent expression of Charles Hughes that in_the Adamson bill a “gold brick” had bcen handed to the railroad men. The reports from rural commun! ties, too, indicated that these repub- lican strongholds are to be depended on this year to return larger than usval republican majorities. The conclusion reached by officials of the committee after considering the reports was that the election will re- sult in large majorities for republican presidential electors and that Governor Holcomb and Senator George P. Me- Lean wili be re-elected by larger ma- jorities than ever the most optimistic had hitherto expected. 0- several dissatis- ise over the One of the commi of Teachers Here on the Twenty-seventh The date of the state teachers’ con- vention which is to be hzld in_thi city, New Haven, Hartford and No: walk on the same day should have read Oct. 27 instead of Oct. 20.
