NORWICH GUESTS AT SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gray of Groton Are Twenty-five Years Married. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gray of Thames street, Groton, observed their silver wedding Friday afternoon by entertaining about 300 guests, many of them coming from out of fown. The house was handsomely decorated, the colors being those used 25 years ago, vellow and white. Huge bunches of chrysanthemums adorned the tables and potied plants farther carried out the scheme of decoration. In one cor- ner of the living room a biz table was set out which contained the gifts, con- sisting mostly of silver articles which were set off with beautiful pieces of cut_glass. Mr. and Mrs. Gray were assisted in receiving by their son and daughter- in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Gray. Mrs. Gray wore white silk with lace trim- ming and carried, as on the other oc- casion 25 years ago, yellow chrysan- themums. -~ Mrs. Lloyd Gray wore black - silk with silver trimmings. Guests were present from Boston, Providence, Norwich and New York. Music was given during the afternoon. The festivities will continue this ev- ening till 10 o'clock. Twenty-five years ago Friday Miss Edith B. Story, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Story. of Broad etreet, Groton, was married to Charles Gray, the ceremony taking place at the home of the bride. Rev. William Peck, at that time rector of the Episcopal church, performed tiie ceremony. The couple were unattended. Miss Mildred Larkin, also of the borough, played the wedding march. The house was dec- orated with chrysanthemums in yel- low and white. Thae bride wore a go- ing away sown of brown broadcloth with hat to match. On ‘their return they took up their residence in the borough, where they have since resid- ed. 1ir. Gray is head painter on the Plant estate The couple have three sons, Lloyd, Philip and Robert. As they said on Friday they had spent 25 years of married happiness and were now look- ing forward to the celebration of their golden wedding, which they expected to_enjoy with their friends as they did this occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Gray have the good wishes of a host of friends, as was shown by the repre- sentative gatherinz at their home. GENERAL RENOMINATION OF CONN. PROBATE JUDGES All But 14 In the State Are Ag: Placed on Party Tickets. The nominations for judge of pro- bate made for the pending election in Connecticut show how steadily .is growing the disposition to continue in office competent judges.

Windham County gressman Freeman as H CONG. RICHARD P. FREEMAN Packed to its utmost seating capac- ity, the town hall fairly trembled when cheer after cheer greeted Congress- man Richard P. Freeman as he arose to speak at the republican rally on Friday night. If anyone doubted that the republicans of Norwich were out in force Friday night that doubt would have been immediately dispelled by a glance into the town hall at § o'clock when the rally was called to order by Chairman Zebulon R. Robbins. Every available seat was filled, extra chairs as many as could be secured, were provided by the committee and even then a row of some fifty gatient and willing listeners stood at the hear of the hall. In the audience there was 5 large representation of the fair favghters of Norwich and they showed as much interest in the four addresses of the evening as any of the men pres- ent. Preceding the speaking in the town hall there was a reception for the dis- tinguished gentlemen on the program, at the republican headquarters on She- tucket street. Here many local re- publicans availed themselves of the speakers. Then, sior‘ly before eight o'clock a line was formed in front of the headquarters and _headed by Tubbs' Military band they marched up Broad- way and into the hall while red fire heralded their approach. On the reception committee of which Zebulon R. Robbins was chairman were a hundred prominent republicans and_the following ladies: Mrs. Willis Austin, Mrs. Oliver L. Johnson, Mrs, William A. Norton and Mrs. J. Dana Coit. After the hall had quieted down the chairman said it gave him much pleasure to sce such a large represen- tation of the citizens of Norwich gath- ered in the hall. And it also zave him a great deal of pleasure to see S0 many ladies present. ‘We are here and we are ready to saw wood, he said. (Ap- plause). And he believed there is a £00d sized pile to saw and some of it to split. I have never had the pleas- ure of meeting that distinguished gen- tleman who occupies the White FHouse. I am told that he is a very affable gentleman and something of a school teacher. He spoke of Wilson as be- inary rather than at the head of an old fashioned country school. He said it was just these female seminary tac- tics that have got this country into a position where a_man ®as to blush at its citizenship. I have heard Wilson compared to Grover Cleveland, but the only similarity I can see is that both were married while in the White House. When Cleveland called out his troops they remained until they had accomplished what they set out to accomplish, he said. Wison marched his_troops’ up the hill and then—he marched them down again. Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me the great- est of pleasure to introduce to you our distinguished congressman, Rich- ard P. Freeman, Congressman Freeman Cheered. At the mention of Congressman Freeman’s name there was an out- burst of cheering and applause such as the Town Hall has seldom seen. It was fully two minutes before the hall bad quieted down enough to al- low the congressman to be heard. In sharp contrast to the cheering and epplauding was the stillness that crept over the audlence as_ he started to speak. From his very first words until he took his seat again he held the close attention of everyone in the hall. The republicans of Norwich are cer- tainly going strong tonight, said Con- gressman Freeman in his opening words. Your enthusiasm, vour pres- ence here tonight, demonstrates that you realize that this presidential cam- paign is of vital importance to the citizens of this manufacturing state of Connecticut. We republicans belleve that the In- dustrial life of this state and nation depends upon the restoration of a pro- tective tariff, and we essure you that first and foremost the success of the republican party in this. campaign means the immediate repeal of the Underwood tarift bill. This democratic tariff bill in operation nearly a_year before the outbreak of the war abroad demonstrated that in time of peacanit was a complete and costly failure. You 41l know that it did not reduce the cost of living, but you had cause to know that it did reduce the opportu- nity to earn a living. It did not yield sufficletn_revenue to the government. You all know that emergency taxes were imposed in time of peace which were afterwards miscalled war taxes. It did not bring prosperity to business nor employment to workingmen. Dem- ocratic leaders were in a quandary to explain the business depression. The president, never at a loss for a_word, declared that it was merely psycholog- jcal, but to the men out of work in 1914 it was the same-old real demo- cratic hard times. Businees Failures Increase. The number of business faflures in 1914 exceeded 14,000, the greatest number since 1893, the year of the preparation of a former democratic tarift bflL. These are facts which no one will dispute because 1914 was only two years and the industrial sit- and John F.

There are democrats who have made excellent mayors of Nor- wich. I have long known and greatly admired a democrat a fellow fowns- man of mine who spoke here the other night, and who was one of the ablest and most popular governors it was ever the good fortune,of Connecticut to have. Democrats have filled many other places with credit and with hon- or, but this great industrial state of Connecticut has as much use for a democratic congressman as 1t has for infantile paralysis. The money of the warring nations has come over here in vast sums in payment of munitions of war, wages have been high and capital abundant, and this nation will present the bekst and highest market in_the world in which to sell goods. When the sol- dlers over there coms back from the trenches they will find their places taken by machines and filled with boys and women. The boys, who have from necessity become capable indus trial producers, and machines will re- main, and the women who have gone into industry will not be easily turned away—labor will be cheap and abun- dant, wages will be low, the cost of production will be small. These na- tions will then have cheap manufac- tured goods and they will need ready money. This nation has their money and offers the best market in which to sell. If we remain unprotected they will undersell us in our own market, tour own business will be prostrated, and the vast capital we have so easily acquired from the warring nations wil! be foolishly wasted and lost if this situation is permitted to develop. The salvation of our industrial life will depend first and foremost upon a republican protective tarift that will preserve our own markets from the sale of the products of our >wn farms and factories. Protection Through Republican Suc- ces: Only through the success of the re- publican party can this policy of pro- tection be adopted. In no other way after the war can American wages be maintained and the American standard of living be preserved. A vote for the democratic ticket is a_vote against your own interests and the welfare of those dependent upcn you. On the seventh of November every voter car- ries with him to the polls his own prosperity for the next four years. the memory of little work only two years ago under the Underwood tariff law, and the certain prospect of no work for many if that law remains in force, are the workingmen of ‘this country to be misled into voting the democratic ticket because in the clos- ing hours of congress therc was en- acted what our democratic friends are pleased to call the “Eight Hour” Law? I yield to no man in my desire to improve the conditions of the work- ingmen of this country, to add to their happiness, to brighten their prospects. I believe in the eight hour day, and T hope the time may Soon come when it will be econpmically advantageous to have eight hours for work, eight hours for sleep and eight hours for play and refreshment. In many trades where the work is steady and con- tinuous it has been demonstrated that eight hours of work will result in no deminution of the total pile of pro- duction odt of which in the last an- alysis all must receive their recom- ense. . The Adamson Bill. But the Adamson bill was in no sense designed to limit or curtail the hours of labor for the class of em- ployes it affected. It was simply a bill fixing by lesislation ten hours’ pay for eight hours’ work. Upon this point there can be no controversy. The democratic speaker of the house ruled that certain amendments 'were not germane because the pending bill was only a wage increase bill. 1 will not say that the trainmen are not entitled to an increase of pay Their long hours, their responsibiltty, their expenses away from home, the loss for long periods of the society of their wives and children and the com- forts of their homes, the lack of the companionship of their fellow citizens, these and many other reasons may well entitle them to higher pay and certainly would have appealed with great weight to the sound judgment of a fair and impartial board of arbi- tration. I believe that the only prac- tical way by which their hours of labor may be shortened, and they can have more time at home, would be to pro- vide time and a half pay for over- time, but this is a matter for arbitra- tion. Surrendered Arbitration Principle. It the president had stood firmly for arbitration congress would have provided for arbitration, and I believe that there would have been no strike or that it would have been of short duration because of the overwhelming sentiment of public opinion against it. But he said it was futile to stand firmly. He meekly surrendered the principle of arbitration. He pro- claimed that eight hours had received “the sanction of society” and under the guise of an eight hour law this bill was rushed through comgress in the midst of a political campaign with- out investigation or mature considera- tion, practically without debate and under duress by threats.of a strike if not passed by Saturday night. The president himself has since sald that such a situation must never be tolerated again. On this point there is now no difference of opinfon. The whole controversy has merely been deferred until after election. In the improbabl eevent of his _re-election, will_he be as ylelding after election as before? He has been known to change his mind. Woodrow Has Met Wilson. In the last four years Woodrow has met Wilson coming back many times. in 1912 he was in favor of a single term and pledged to it by his plat- form, which he declared was not mere- ly molasses to catch fies, Why is he now running again? In 1912 he was in favor of free tolls for American ships through the American canal at Panama- Why are American ships now paying toil? In 1914, six months after the outhreak of the Buropean war, and a year and a half after the trouble in Mexico, he was oppoged to an increase in the army and navy. and said that the advocates of prepared- ness were merely nervous and excited, and then a year later he went about the country shouting that “the sparks uation at that timesis well within“the | Were flying everywhere,” and advocat- Jmemory of all .

It is a well established principle of law that dec- larations egainst interest are admit- tod because they are likely to be true while declarations In favor arc rejected as hearsay. For example, a man ao- cused of murder might say many times “I am innocont,” but the declara- tions would be Inadmissible; on fhe other hand, ehould he say “I am gullty,” the admission would be used against him. In 1913, a year before the European ‘war, Mexico was informed that she would be- held “strictly responsible” for injuries done to Americans or to the property of Americans. This no- tice posied up in front of the American embassy and in front of every consulate in Mexico, and be- came well known to every nation of the world. Since that time Mexico has murder- SEN.

The exact situa- tion 1s accurately described in Mr. Lansing’s last note to Carranza. His Policy of Watchful Waiting. In his policy of watchful waiting, which has degenerated into watching Mexicans kill and plunder Americans, and then waiting to watch them do it again, this administration has paid a tremendous price in treasure, in_blood, in prestige, and in honor, and after ali has it reaily kept us out of war? On this point there are certainly grave doubts in the minds-of many. Fortunate indeed for us that Ameri- cans have not always said they were ‘too proud to fight.” Washington was first in the hearts of his countrymen because he was not only first in peace but also first in war. We might have meekly submitted to “taxation with- out representation” and tacre mould have been no minutemen shot down at Lexington, no disastrous battle of the Brandyvire, none of the frightful horrors of Valley Forge, but there would have been no victory at Sara- toga, no surrender at Yorktown, and no United States of America! George Washington kept us out of many wars. As colonists we were involved in Queen Annes' war, King Willlam's war, the French and Indian war, and had we remained a_ colony we would have been in all the wars of Great Britain since that time, including fhe present_one. Lincoln, our most beloved president, did not keep us out of war. The well beloved McKinley might have ignored and forgotten the victims of the Maine but he would have forfeited his own self respect. and the United States would have merited the ecorn and contempt of the nations of the world. Don’t Want Another Four Years. Patriotic Americans do not want another four years of serving human- ity in theory, and in practice neglect- ing the rignts of our people. We will not stand for.another four years of government by rhetoric and_ states- manships of fine words devoid of solid achicvement. For these reasons I be- speak your earnest support of our standard bearer, Charles E. Hughes. 1 bespeak your s¥pport of the Honorable George P. McLean, who in the senate of the United States has arisen to a position of power and influence, and whom Connecticut could ill afford to lo#. I bespeak your enthusiastic sup- port of Marcus H. Holcomb, a gover- nor who has more than made good. I bespeak _your support of John H. Barnes for the state senate. His training and experience will be of great benefit in support of the policies of the governor, and I bespeak your sup- port of Albert J. Bailey and Joseph Henderson, capable, experienced mem- bers of the general assembly. Send them back with a good old-fashioned Norwich reputlican majority, and re- elect, as judge of probate, Nelson J.| Ayling, a’ man clean of character as the untrodden snow, and, lastly, well, I have been well kKnown in Norwich since boyhood, I have here many true and -loyal friends, and on_ Tuesday next I will let them speak for be. A Safe Man to Send Back. After the applause had subsided, Chairman Robbins said: I think, ladies and gentlemen, { you will all agree with me when I say that Congressman Freeman is a pretty safc man to send back to Washington. The chairman then jntroduced as the next speaker Hon. Joseph W. Alsop, a prominent progressive leader four years ago. Hon. Mr. Alsop loudly applauded as he took the floor. There were cast in this town, if I remember rightly, some 700 votes on the progressive ticket in 1912, said the speaker. We progressives went into the progressive party with perfectly sincere motives, to get what was best for our country. We got a fair number of votes in 19 but not enough to elect a single gov- ernor. We were not discouraged, but decided to go right ahead. But we forgot one thing—that it is the voters who settle the political question. In 1914 an overwhelming majority of those who voted the progressive ticket in 1912 refused to do so again. They made it clear that they wanted two parties and not three. The thing that really forms a political party is the undercurrent of thought that pervades the party. Where Democratic Control Lies. The principal control of the demo- cratic party lies in 15 southern states and in the large cities of this country. ‘Wkere is the control of the republican party? It is here in New England, in the middle west and in the far west. Turn to the achievements of the two parties. In California 20 years ago the democratic leaders endeavored to effect a reform in that state, but the democratic voters refused to fol- low their leaders. Four years ago that state was cleaned up by the progres- sive republicans. The same {hing happened in Wisconsin anl is now under way in Pennsylvania. The pro- gressive republicans are the republi- cans who go ahead. Should Support Hughes. ‘Why should we support Hughes? We are confronted this year by new is- sues. Our government must be pos- sessed by a spirit of national Ameri- canism. This cannot be done by one man aione, nor by a emall sroup of men. It has got to be done by a sreat leader backed by a great po- litical party. Mr. Alsop sald that Mr, Hughes ever proved himself a man of his word and said that he for one would support him. He closed by urging all progressives to join him in supporting Mr. Hughes. Senator MclLean Introduced. Senator George P. McLean was then introduced as the third speaker. In his opening words Senator AicLean said it gave him great pleasure to sometime be turned across towards rich America. look on euch a large and inteligent audience, and that it was a rare treat to come to Norwich. He said that as the hour was getting late he would not make a lengthy address, but would just “talk” to the audience on the virile national spirit that will prevent hostile foot from being set on our soil.

My opponent is going about the state telling you how sweet it is to_have the boys come back safe from Mexi- co. I will Jemonstrite to you in less than two minutes that If the right man had been in the White House it would mever have been necessary to send them to Mexico. If the presi- dent had taken the advice offered those events in Mexico would never have happened, and there would have been no necd to send the boys to Mexico. 1t is astonishing to me that a pres- ident refuses to take good advice ana it is just that which characterizes his polley with foreign countries. Could Sink Our Whole Navy. A few days ago a warship ran the gauntlet of the allied fleets, sailed for three thousand miles under water, picked out an American port, smiled a few minutes on Uncle Sam and on the road home sank six merchantmen. Suppose that instead of onme, fifty of these warships come over here, from we know not where. Why they could sink every battleship we have in a night and could collect from our coast- al city such sums as they felt inclined to demand.
