Waller | The annual report of the New Ha- and Hon. Daniel P. Dunn in Town Hall—Women Includ- ed Among Those Present—William H. Shields Presided. With the old-time fire and pep which characterized him in his young- er days, when in the political ring, ex-Governor Thomas M. Waller thrill- ed a good sized audience, including cight ladies, Monday night at the dem- ocratic rally held in the town hall Daniel P. Dunn, mayor of Willimantic, the democratic’ nominee for congress from the Second congressional dis- trict, was the other speaker. When Willlam H. Shields, chairman of the meeting, introduced ex-Governor Waller the hail rang with cheers and everyone stood up. In introducing Mayor Dunn, the first speaker, Chair- man Shields ‘said: For the nrst speak- er 1 will introduce Daniel P. Dunn, candidate for congress and a man well known throughout the state; a man who has made a record as mayor of the city of Willimantic and ag a democrat; & man who takes special interest and great enterprise in pro- moting the laboring classes of the state. Chairman, ladies, gentlemen and fellow democrats: I desire at this time to extend my sincere thanks to the people of Norwich for their many kindnesses and courtesies towards me. 1 can assure you that I appreciate everythins. I remember well when I ran for the office of comptroller of the state of the work done by the citi- zens of Norwich and I would be in- srate not to appreciate your works. Now friends, you have with you to- night a man Wwho in '76 was candidate from the third congressional distriet, now the second. I remmeber when with colored capes and caps we marched through New London and Windham counties, following the great putriot, the great old democrat, Gov- ernor Waller. In those days it was the hurrah and the noise. 1 do not propose to dwell very long about the issues of the cumpaign. 1 am sure that it does not requirs a lawyer, a collegebred man to fill the position of cungressman from this district. It is a man who is capable of choosing judgment, common sense and who finds out what his people want. Tt is a man who will go out and work for his_constituents. He does not need to be making speeches in the house but he should be a man who wonld go into the com- mittee room and fight for the best in- terests of his constittients. That as ur candidate, if I am elected, I am I shall find out and my business to know wl the people of my district want, respective of party. As, when elected, I shall be a servant of the people. I will work for the workingman. You will know just where I stand on ev- y measure that comes up. When it ‘comes to the interests of the asri- rists anc other progressive leg- islation which may come up ar which. will be of benefit to mv consti- tuents, you will ind me working and voting for such measures. I wili ask why my friends voted against the ral credifs system, a measure puts the agriculturists and farmer in @ position where he can be independ- ent, a measure which enables him to g0 ‘out and raise money on his farm and stock and got all tie latest im- plements. The people of the cities aro beginning to realize more now the help of farmers. The Eight Hour Law. have the workingmen's com- ation bill. I wonder ho nd stands on that bill. W dodge the eight hour law, a meas- ure which surely kept this count from starvation, a measure in which President Wilson took action on the side of the common people? And the candidate for the republican party s he would have insisted on anbi- tration. No, friends, that strike would have come, but we had the man of the hour, a man who had the work- ingman at his heart. There has been .more, progressive legislation in the democratic adminis- tration during the past three and a hilf vears than the other party ha We pen; h passed in the past 50 years. The re. publican parly has been making mises for the past 16 years on what they would do. Show me one act passed that is for the interest of the common people. In looking over progressive legislation accom- ished by the Wilson administration you £ind the following measures: Fed- erve act, rural credit law, workingmen's compensation law, child labor law, Clayton anti-trust law, good roads legislation, income tax, non- partisan tariff commission. When the War is Over. Gentlemen, T say to you good tim and prosperity have ‘come to sta: When the war is over and when the belligerent powers in Burope, which God only knows, they will want the products of this country just the same. And the same prosperity will con- tinue. We are a patriotic nation, a progressive nation and a nation_ at peace with the world. We have had our sons on the border, but they are returning, some have aiready return- ed safe, better for their experiences; better men and better soldlers for the country. They do not come back with the loss of an arm, a leg, sight or crippled for life, dependent on others. They are not like the boys of Enrope in the trenches. No, they are safe and sound. Meny a prayer has been sent up to heaven by mothers, fathers, daughters and sisters of our boys to heaven for their safe return. They have returned and a8 ex-Governor Glynn says, this policy may not have The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. | satisfied some, but it satisfied the mothers of the land, the fathers of the land, sons of tho land, who will fight and die for our flag when honor draws the sword and when _justice calls for the standard which they up- hold. Thousands of voies will be rast Nov. 7 his way for the reason that he has kept us out of war. Now, my friends, 1 desire again to thank you ior past courtesles and am pleased to see the large number herc tonight. This is a democratic year. We are on Nov. 7 going to be on top and elect the entire democratic ticket. You are going to send to congress from the second district, a man at your ser- vice. Concluding Mayor Dunn’s _epeech, Chairman Shields said: I will intro- duce to you the democrat of demo- crats, ex-Governor Thomas M. Waller, Governor Waller extended thanks for the cordiality shown in hie greeting and he said it reminded him of the like courtesy he has so often re- ceived from the citizens and democracy of this city. As I presume there are friends of both parties here, sald the speaker, I shall not be led into tempta- tion by eaying anything that might offend anyone who, unfortunately for him, differs with me in politics. Al- though I am here as a partisan, and mean to_strike back at the standpat- ters as forcibly as an old fellow can, I do not mean, as pugilists say,~to land blows below the belt. For such blows are as foul in politics as_they are in the ring. And though I am not as young, perhaps, as I used to be 40 vears ago, When I first spoke in this city, I am anxious to do all I can to the association and it |can be done to promote the success of our excellent state ticket. Above all, T am anxious with all the vigor left in me to join vou in doing in this campaign all that t presérve the peace and prosperity that this country s enjoying at the present time under Woodrow Wilson. Not a Fool's Paradise. And it is not a fool's paradise, either, as the 100 per cent. candidate, as he modestly calls himself, says it is. And it is only the fools that can be frightened into thinking sc. Re- momber the predictions of the stand- patters four years ago that the coun- try would go to ruin in every possible and horrible way if the democratic party shbuld manage to get into power. You know the proud record of our party. Let me give you a few proofs of our prosperity in the commercial, Industrial and social humane progress of our country in the last three and a half years under the democratic rule. ‘The figures are authentic governmen- tal figures. I will show you how rich we are and T will show vou how poor we are. At the close of Phe last sfandpatter's administration they left behind, idle and emptw freight cars, aggregating 426,000, crowding the side-tracks of the’ railroads of the country. While today every freight car and scheech- ing locomotive in this land of ours is busy. Under the republican rule, our factories never turned out more than twenty billions of pragucts in a year, while in the last fiscal year our fac- torfes turnefl out thirty billlons. Un- der the best republcan rule employes rceived three billions of doilars and in the last fiscal year they received five billions. The Country’'s Wealth Today. ‘When the stand patters in 1912, were turned out of the house, the senate and the white house, the aggregate wealth of this country was ene hun- dred and eighty-seven billions, while today our wealth is two hundred and twenty-eight billions, an increase of forty-one billions or’ 21 per cent. In fact our country is the wealthiest and richest country on God's _foot-stool. Wealthier than England, France and Germany combined: ten times wealth- ier than artistic Ttaly: four times than France. And besides we have among us one of the richest men in the his- tory of the world. I have taken you up to the mountains and permitted you to look over our wealth. The con- tentment depends upon the natural, fair and j difiusion of its wealth, It s the cozy cottage that beautifies the landscape, not the castles of the rich. Rich as we are, bevond any dreams, Jet us consider whether in the past under the republican rule we have been as zood to ourselves or to one another as we ought to have been. It was only a few vears ago across the at a radical evolution and re- aws began, on for social We were slow in the past in taking up the social progressive wo: but when America gets started it will be the bost on earth. The social evolution in Germany protected the people in many ways. _What have we done? My friend before me has told of the progressive legislation ac- complished and I will go him one bet- t There has been more progres- sive legislation passed during the past three and half years than since the beginning. Many Widows Left Penniless. President Straus at the National convention of cducators of this coun- try in an address statea In figures of eloquence that in every 100 ‘men that die in America, assuming they are three leave an estate $10.000; marricd, only valued at_over te between $2,000 to $3,000 and the rest leave between nothing and $2,- 090. So there are only eighteen widows and their children comfortably taken «care of. While in thirty-five cases out of the hundred widows were left pen- piless and destitute. fake the fig- ures 100,000 then you have got 350,- 060 left penniless. The democratic doctrine of taking care of needed is the nicest rel exemplified in the passage in Eible, the parablg ot tne one sheep. Gov. Waller recited an incident which occurred in conzress when Judge Prouty expressed his views on the income tax. The Income Inheritance Tax. Continuing Governor Waller s: We passed an income inheritance tax which took the tax burden off the poor people and put it on the shoul- ders of the rich, where it ought to have been placed years ago, and where it would have been in Grover leveland’s day if the party had been united as it is today and had follow- ed its courageous presidential leader then, as it wisely foliows its eqdally courageous, but more Dersuasive, presidential leader now. We have reduced the tariff on things common people eat, wear, need and use. On exports for the last year were two million dollars more, which is_more than ever before. Our im- ports were less on account of the war. And when this war ends we will con- tinue as strong as we have been. It will take the belligerent countries years before they will be able to of- fer their goods in exchange for ours as freely as they have done in the past. But_now, my friends, thouzh you may think It's a Long Way to Tip- perary, 1 have finally reached it. For the first time in the judicial history of our country, an associate judge of the supreme court, the highest court with the greatest judicial power of any court in the world, has been se- duced by -political managers to fling off his official robes and be- come a candidate for partisan politi- cal honors. Now whatever may be the result of his venture in politics, the influence of his action cannot help having an unfortunate and depreca- tory influence on the exalted opinion of the people of the country, of their suprema court. Tribute to Local Press. Ex-Governor Waller related the re- publican’s views on the removing of Ambassador Herrick and the charge against the president of having turn- ed out of office a worthy competent republican for an ignorant, incompe- tent democratic horse doctor. Here Governor Waller paid a tribute to the local papers which he considered the squarest and fairest any commu- nity could desire and he said that The Bulletin was the only paper that he has seen that did not print the charge against tho appointed ambassador. he governor referred to Hushes side. stepping of present day questions and the Tost id: concluded by reviewing the president's [ or any druggist 1 ounce of career, his efforts, his trials, contests, triumphs, for the good of his country and the credit of his party in the last three years of his presidency and the | until dissolved. three most fateful years in ihe history | four times a d: of the world.

The report shows the largest gross in- come in the company’s history. The company earncd from opera- tions, $76,311,852, an increase of $10,- 392,280 over the precedinz. yvear and o gain' of about $7,700,000 over the best preceding vear, which was 1813. The statement says this result was achleved in the face of much labor, unrest, resulting in 57 separate strikes on theé company’s lines, and also un- der discouraging operating conditions because of freight congestion. Operating expenses absorbed $31,- 078,357, leaving a net income of $25,- 288205 before taxes were paid, a gain of '$3,980,655. The lines carried 23,- 285,411 tons of freight, which was 4- 443,388 tons more than the year be- fore, and the 82,246,385 passengers carried were 4,073,687 more than the company accommodated in 1915. President Elliott informs stockhold- ers in his statement that the eight- hour law will cause an increase of ex penses ‘of 81,500,000 to 52,000,000 a year, depending on the way the stat- ute is interpreted. Discussing the la- bor organizations which were active in having the law passed, le says: “There are less than 7,500 men in these organizations on the New Ha- ven system, and less than 400,000 on all the railways in the United States. There are 25,760 stockholders of the New Haven, and at least 60,000 hold ers of raflway stocks in the United States, (not to mention at least an equal number of bondholders), but their Influence has not been exercised for their own protection. The direc- tors and officers are doing their ut- most to safesuard and improve the property, but the active influence and support of all owners of securities are needed, not only in creating a favor- able opinion, but in providing -new capital in excess of what can be saved from earnings and_sales of property in order to make those improvements that will increase the earning powre of the property. “The employes should realize that they ars citizens of the territory serv- ed by the road, as well as members of labor organizations. They owe a duty to themselves and their families, to the company that furnishes them empleyment, and to the communitics in which they live. It is very much to their present and future interest to have the road adjusted to the needs of the territory served. This work can be accomplished more quickly if every man will e economical. i cent a day saved by each employe will make more than §100,000 a year to be put into improvements.” Mr. Elliott asserted that the com- pany must have additions calling for the _expenditure of $27,860,000 if the traffic is to be properly headled. The company during the year bought up $366,000 bonds of its Eurcpean loan of 1907, and this amount of the road's indebtedness was cancelled. On June 30, the end of the fiscel year, the em- ployes on the payrolls numbered 3 485, receiving in wages 32 69,103, zain of $3,503,789 over the previous needed the the owners cooperation of the pubiic of the property and the employes.” Continuing “the report says: “The public should realize that the New England roads have to pay freight on all fuel coal for their loco- motives and that a very large amount of this coal has to be brousht in all rail. These freight chirges on coal increase the fuel cost for a road the New Haven between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000 a year as compared with the same amount of coal used roads like the Penns ania, and Ohio and Delaware, Lackaw and Western, yet the passenger and freight rates on the New llaven are no higher than on those roads, and in many cases are lower.
