CADETS HELD HALLOWENEN SOCIAL AT POQUETANUCK. Miss Louise Muench and Horace Brackway Took Prizes For Best Cos. tumes. The Hallowe’en season was much in evidence when the Wide-Awake Cadets of Poquetanuck gave a masquerade in the parish house, Poquetanuck, Monday evening. The Cadets and their friends swere present and enjoyed the games and music provided by rhe committee in charge. For the best costumes, Miss Louise Muench and Horace Brackway won the prizes while in the game contests Leslie Harkness and Alice Jackson were the prize winners. Costumes of all descriptions were in evidence, from clowns, ndians, gypsies, to white dresses. The house was dec- orated with Hallowe'en sugestions and refreshments were served. The pat- ronesses were Mrs. George Mansfield and Mrs. Charles Harkness. AT THE DAVIS THEATRE Katinka. Katinka, written before the great Puropean war, with adventures K Russia, Turkey and Austria, now at bayonet points, drew a very large house at the Davis theatre Wednesday night and from the applause received the company made a hit. The semi-royal palace scene in Russia, where the wedding festivities pired and the picturesque Orien treet of Old_Stamboul, the ga musical resort in Vienna, mingled with laughter, gayety and song could not be improved upom. Rackety Coo, sung by Margaret Owen as Katinka and John Roberts as Ivan won high favor. The play centered around Phil Ry ley as Thaddeus Hopper, the Ameri- can, and Mae Phelps, his wife, who in the style characteristic of Ameri- cans kept the audience at high_pitch, while Eddie Lambert as Herr Knopf, small in stature, furnished laughter in plenty The Russian and Circassian dances given b inore Vincent and Nicho- las Kovas were out of the ordinary and were well received. “I Want to Marry a Male Quartette,” by Mrs. Hopper and a quartette was one of the feature numbers. ‘Katinka,” by Ivan and a male chorus, full of har- mony, was well received by the au- dience. Katinka was a little Russian maiden, with a heart of her own, but with a hand not at her disposal. It was for the latter reason that she was forced into a disagreeable marriage with the elderly Boris, while her heart yearned for the handsome young Ivan. Ivan saw no reason to bow to fate because Katinlpa did. With the assistance of a wice-awake American friend, he did a little amatur detective work that led to the discovery that Boris already had one wife, who had sought refuge in a Turkish harem to escape from her hated husband. Overjoyed at his disohvery, they kidnapped Katinka while the wedding festivities were at their height, and the three set out for Turkey to_discover the whereabouts of the first Mrs. Boris. Katinka, to aid their plans the better, was passed off as Mrs. Hopper. Matters were moving swimmingly in_Old Stamboul when the real Mrs. Hopper put in an un- expected appearance. Before the-awk- ward situation could be cleared up. 't was discovered that Mrs. Boris Num- ber One had gone to Vienpa, and the entire party consequently adjournel 1o that city. There, in the capital of European waltwing gaety, all shadows were dispelled and everybody made happy. FUNERALS. Mrs. Orrin Poland.

ENTHUSIASM AT REPUBLICAN RALLY Ex-Governor Dillingham of Vermont and Congressman Walsh of Massachusetts Stirred Gathering at Town Hall— Speakers Introduced by Mayor Allyn L. Brown—Recep- tion at Wauregan House Preceded Rally—Red Fire and Band Drew Large Crowd. Between three and four hundred Te- publicans gathered in the town hall on Wednesday evening to hear Senator ‘Willilam Paul Dillingham of Vermont and Congressman Joseph Walsh of Massachusetts discuss the issues of the presidential campaign. Included among those present were a dozen or more women who manifested much interést in_the two addresses. Preceding the rally at the town hall there was a reception for the speakers at the Wauregan house, when they were presented to a number of prom- inent citizens. Acting as a reception committee were Mavor Allyn L. Brown, chairman, James L. Case, L. O. Smith, Frederic W. Cary, Oliver L. Johnson and Henry A. Tirrell. Tubbs’ military band gave an hour's concert in front of the hotel, Main street side. Just before 8 o'clock a large number «f republicans in double file and headed by the band marched up Broadway and into the hall. The line of march was ablaze with red fire. Mayor Brown Presides. Mayor Allyn L. Brown presided at the rally. A burst of enthusiasm greeted Mayor Brown as he arose from his seat. La- dies and gentlemen, for we are pleas- ed to see that there are some ladies present said the mayor, I am very glad to welcome you here tonight. Mayor Brown spoke of the republican party as belng thoroughly reunited and said that evidences of this have already been seen in the caucuses held recent- ly. We don't want two parties, he continued. What we want is a unit- ed party. I think, perhaps, we have had too much prosperit and think we have been taught a lesson for the past four years we have had a mi- nority president, a_man chosen by something like a million and a quart- er votes less than the majority, and he has left no stone unturned in his efforts to strengthen his position. Theo- dore Roosevelt, great man thought he has been, never did a greater thing than when he stepped ocut of the way ang let Hughes take the lead. Mayor Brown said important as Hughes nom- ination in June was to the party, he believed it far more important that he be chosen president in the coming elec- tion and at this point the audience heartily approved his statement with a shower of applause. When you think of Wesdrow Wilson, the man, how does he impress you? FHe hasn’t meas- ured up to tile full standard of a man. The republican candidate is a man who. when he says a thing, means it. Wa are fortuns in having with us to- e night two men who have been in close touch with the government at Wash- ington, and it gives me pleasure to in- troduce as the first speaker, Congress- man Joseph Walsh, of Massachusetts. Their Have Democrats Redeemed Pledges? Another enthusiastic burst resounded as Congressman Walsh took the floor. It is indeed a pleasure and an an honor to be asked to come to this in- dustrious city and say a few words in behalf of the republican candidate and of republican principles, said Congress- man Walsh in his opening words. We are now approaching the presidential election, he continued, and you in com- common with your fellow voters throughtout the land will determine the questions. The first important ques- tion which must be dectded is wheth- er the present administration in W ington has fulfilled its promises and made good its pledges, whether you are satisfied that they have redeemed their pledges. I am proud to come to this particular district represented by Congressman Richard P. Freeman (applause). He has made a place in congress, and I can assure you he is honored, es- pecially by those of us who repre- sent the republicans. It gives me pleasure to be in company with Sen- ator Dillingham, a real leader of the United States Senate and, gentlemen, veu will will find that the real lead- ers are in the republican ranks. I want to call your attention to one of the claims made. That 1s, namely, that the president has kept us out of To be kept out of war it must first be necessary for some nation to be plotting to drag us into war. T £sk you if vou believe that any of the belligerent nations have been anxious to drag us Into war? Have the allies indicated any desire that we fight Ger- many On_the other hand, do you think fhat Germany is anxious for us to zo #> war? No, those nations are thankful today that we have kept out of war. Who has kept Switzerland out of war, Surrounded as she is by the bel- ligerent nations? There she is, calm and serene. Who has kept Norway, Sweden and Denmark out of war? They are right on the verge of the bat- tle zone. We are a great nation, 3,500 miles away and vet they would have vou believe that they have kept us out of war. You well recall Vera Cruz, when nine- teen of our noble boys gave up their lives. _That, gentlemen, was an act ot war. You ail recall an attack of the present Mexican chief and our soldlers; some were killed and others taken prisoners. That, gentlemen, was an act of war, You will find that our country is in a state of war with the Mexican natlon, for our tsoops are on foreign sofl. These acts bear the trademark, the stamp of democratic rule under Woodrow Wilson. American Lives Sacrificed. American lives have been sacrificed and our women outraged, our children slaughtered, their property destroy- ed, and they ask us, “What would you have done?”" The problem f{s, ratmer, you going to do?” ‘When the present administration toolk power they found an embargo on arms and munitions, placed there by the re- publican party. Was that embargo al- lowed to remain? No, it was lifted. If it had not been liftea fifteen million dum dum bullets would not have reach- ed those roaming murderers in Mexi- co. In considering this chapter of our history, consider well wether you can go forth with head upright and a feel- ing of pride et the action our country has taken, or whether you will blush with shame at the programme that has been committed. The majority of the people are not willing to endorse that phase of democratic rule. Congressman Walsh said that the president has changed his mind no less than three times in regard to the Mexican situation. Crowning it all, he continued, we have the present sec. retary of war comparing Washington and his men, those noble patriots, who made possible our government, with those bandits in Mexico. He says the men fighting in Mexiso today are the same kind of men#£hat fought with “What are ‘Washington. Do you belleve they slaughtered children? Yo you be- lieve they outraged women? " It is not only an insult to thise patriots, but it is an Insult to us. Rebuke that in- ladvanced both sult, said the seaker in closing, by going to the polls and indicating your confidence in our peerless leader, that the Stars and Stripes may float, sym- bolic of the greatest nation on God's footstool, (Allpause.) Mayor Brown then introduced as the second and last speaker of the even- ing, Senator William Paul Dillingham, now serving his third term and an ex- governor of the state of Vermont. Senator Dillingham rntroduced. Senator Dillingham like the previous speaker, was accorded a hearty wei- come by those in the hall. In his opening words he referred briefly to the Mexican situation, endorsing the statements made by Congressman ‘Walsh. In reference to the existence of a state of war between Mexico and the United States Senator Dillingham salg that it would necessarily be so or those bandits who killed our soldiers would be counted nothing more or less than murderers. In part Senator Dilfngham spoke as tollows: During the debates in the United States senate on the Underwood tariff bill in 1913 John Sharpe Williams of Mississippi challengcd the proposition that a protective tariff increases the rate of wages paid to operatives in the United States and defended his position upon the broad proposition that wages are high in any country just in proportion as institutions are free; he madt the broad assertion that even in the colonial days every trav- eler from either England or France who visited the American colonies noted the high amount of pay re- celved -by labor, whether common or skilled, and insisted that since the organiation of our government and the advance of free institutions every historian has noted the existence of the same fact. I have no dispesition to differ with him regarding the his toric fact. Every well read man knows that low wages are the bequest of serfdom; that wages are lowest where despotism is most arrogant and caste most exclusive; that the rate of wages paid indicate the type of every government by era ard by country. In the orient, where the most grinding tyranny has been practiced, wages have been infinitisimal in amount. Labor conditions in Egypt and Japan, with all their progress, are ever now a vivid reminder of the fact. In the United States where, as the English historian, McKenzie, tells us the peo- ple were bold enough to form a gov ernment based upon principles di metrically opposed to those upon which all previous governments had /been based, wages advanced from the begin- ning and have been maintained as no- where else in the world. Prior to the Civil war we had been a slave controlled nation for 40 years. Cotton was king, but 80 per cent. of it was exported. Today corn is king, and 98 per cent. of it finds a home market. Wheat nearly equals cotton in value, and 70 per cent. of that crop goes to satisfy the American appetite. What has wrought this mighty change? What has brought us from obscurity and made the United States the leading nation of the world? The answer Is found in the repubiican plat- form of 1860, and in the admirable constructive statesmanship which for ® half century has found expression in the administration of the affairs of the nation. Under the Homestead Act. In the very first yvear of its adminis- tration the republican party opened up to free labor the great public domain upon which the slave power had vain- ly looked with greedy eves. Under the homestead act .we opened up in 40 vears farms twice as great in number as those opened up during two cen- turies of colonial and national life. Our agricultural resources have ad- vanced by leaps and bounds until at the present time the cultivated land of the United States alone is greater in area than the entlre territory, cul- tivated or otherwise, of the nited Kingdom, Germany, France, Greece and Portugal combined. But the vision of the republican leaders extended into the futurt and_ they saw there must be created a home market for the fruits of this vast and fertile area. In order to establish that system of na- tional exchanges recommended in_the republican platform of 1860, and to protect American labor in the advan- tages which had resulted from free institutions, it adopted the protective principle in_its tariff legislation and, under the Merrill act, the manufac- tured products of the United States so in volume and vaiue that in 1870 they equalled in value those of France; in 1880 they equalled those of England; in 1890 they had so multiplied that their value was greater than those of England and [France combined, and in the year 1900 Bis- mark’s prophecy was fulfilled and the manufactured products in the United States were found to be greater in value than those of England, Germany and France combined, and the United States had under our protective policy “passed Europe at a gallop.” In this magnificent development we have advanced from a nation of 31 states to one of 48. The workingmen of each stand upon precisely the same basis and while under republican ad- ministration they have been protected against foreign competition, they have sharpened their wits In competition with each other, the men of one state against those of every other state, with an efficiency which has reduced the cost of production and prevented that increase in the price of commodi- ties which our enemias charge against our system. What the Home Market Means. ‘What does this home market mean to us? It means that the interchange of commodities among the people of the several states is actually greater in amount than the foreign trade of all the nations of the world combined. Under this comprehensive system in- augurated by the republican party and vigorously pushed for a full half cen- tury, and as bitterly opposed by the democratic party, we have become the wealthiest nation of the world and the material condition of the masses has advanced beyond all precedent. The wealth of thc people has ad- vanced from $513 per capita in 1860 to $1,965 in 1910. T have already called attention to the fact that in the development of our manufactured products we had 16 vears ago exceeded in value those of the three principal nations of BEurope and that they at that time amounted to the enormoue sum of $11,000,000,000 annually. But that only half tells the story, fcr in the imtervening period, 1800 to 1910, we doubled our output and the increase alone is greater in amount than the entire output of ‘England, CGermany and France when we possed them in our industrial prog- ress at ‘ho beginning of the present century. The (emocratic party, now in power, is the party of the south, is governed by the economic principles of ante- i FREE TO ASTHMA SUFFERERS A New Home Cure That Anyome Can Use Without Discomfort or Loss of Time, We have a iew Method that cures Asthma, and we want you to try it at our expense.

Another Result of Industrial Move- ment. The nation Is divided in its indus- tries as it is in its political thought. East of the Rocky mountains and north of the Ohio river are found 78 per cent. of the wage earners in our industries; in the same territory 81 per cent. of the nation’'s wages are paid and 81 per cent. of 2li of our manufactured products are tfirned out. All this is the result of the great in- dustrial movement inaugurated by the republican party and carried into op- eration by men who respect free labor, who recognize its dignity and its im- portance, and who understand that if our republic is to continue the masses must be intelligent as well as moral and that comfortable homes are the basis of both. Mark the improved conditions of New England. We are small in area, cecupying only 2 per cent. of conti- nental United States. Our valleys are narrow, our seasons short and ex- treme. Water powers abound, but we are blessed neither with deposits of coal, cil or metals.

Under the policy of protec- tion New England has made a phe- |nomenal advance.
