— We learn from the Chairman of
the Republican Town ( ommittee, Mr.
Archie MacDonald, why the Republi
cans of this town have had no public
rally meeting this campaign as in all
former years. The answer was plain
and simple: “We could get no speaker.
Every Republican speaker of promi
nence has been drafted to go to some
of the doubtful States, where they are
needed. As \\ indham county is as
solidly Republican as the Rock of Gib
| raltar, the able shakers were not need
ed here, and every Republican will
| gladly acquiesce in their deprivation.
' Mr. Macdonald felt somewhat moru
| tied, after making strenuous effort* to
■ get a good >i«eaker and failing- H*
' wouldn't accept a “spellbinder to ad
I dress such an inteliigent class of peo
ple as would attend a Republican Ka.
1 v.and he and the other members of his
committee decided to have no Republi
can rally this year. The Chairman arid
hi» fellow members deserve tbe than >
of their party for the wise course they
| adopted.

— We urge ev ery Republican elector
to do all he ean to svvtll the vole for
Stale's Attorney Charles F Scarls, can
didate fm State Senator from this dis
trict, and not assume he will easily |
lie elected. But he should have the
laigc-t possible vote to express public
gratification that lie has consented to
accept the nomination. Itis friends
arc in hopes that llie State Senatorsliip
will be but a step to lead to something
higher in time. Itis (versonal claims
should appeal to independents and
Democrats for their support. Besides
his fitness for important political office
because of itis natural abilities, train
ing and experience In public attairs, lie
is a gentleman of dignity and rettne
menl, affable to a degree that makes
him esteemed ivy people of high and
low degree alike.
—A Putnam High School Debating
Club was formed Monday, with the
following members: Raymond Kenne
day, Alvin Martin, Lloyd Cole, How
ard Knight, and Lindley Cain. That
is a good idea, as every boy—and girl,
fortliat matter—should learn toexpress j
himself in public speaking as readily ;
and fluently as in private conversation, i
I p to severity years ago, amt perhaps |
later, in almost every New England ,
v illage the main winter evening enter- j
tainmenls were spelling bees, singing j
schools the latter now-a-days traves- j
tied , and debating exercises among ;
the scholars, often including some
amusing personating of queer charac
ters. The ladies had quilling bees. To
gether these lilled uptheir need of pub
lic entertainments. There weie no
card parties in those days. If there
were card-playing it was done on the
sly, and if found out, the players were
regarded as on the downward road.

Hied, he joined the Roys In llltie, went
to the front, fought the tiloody strug

of the principles he had learned im a
Republican. Now lie la an "Old Vet

man, for he was a boy-aoldter, as years
are counted a lien he went to the front.
He has never had nor asked for publio
office, and now he has been put forward
by friends to serve Ills town in thetle
neral Assembly, and Ids eleeltuu will

lishing the first silk mill in I'utnain,
thus Incidentally presents Mr. Rady 's
life record to Ihe present day lietler
than anything we are able to say of hint
which will carry conviction to every
one as being true to the records
**| brought a dozen old hands with
me, mid ninong them John A Radv—•
Isibbin-lsiy loss I linn live years before
—as my right-hand man. He had been
earning a dollar and a ipinrler a day.
I asked him If he wanted to work for
me for Ids board If 1 would teach him
slashing and llnlslilug. He replied,‘I
think I would lie willing hi pay my
own taiaril.'
We llnlshcd silk In Wlllluinntic till
we moved to I’utnnui In June, R*7H.
The three characlerlsllca of John Rady
that appealed to me were, his willing
ness to work till a task was llnlahed,
Ids absolute loyally and truthfulness.
You know, friends, as a rule we with
hold complin eols niter due date, and
In most ruses they go by default. I Just
wish to any of John Rudy, that while
be was in my employ for twenty year*
I never saw him cross, as we use tint
term—never heard him utter a profane
word.
Mr. Rudy comes under the class of
self-made men. Remember him as the
boy who came here In June, IH7H—Just
thirty years ago. Think of him now m
one of the pillars of the Ihipllsl church
—In fact, who does more for that
chu rch?
The silk he manufacturea goes Into
hottest competition with ours. That'*
business—we must fight or quit. Hayf
friends, why don’t we send John Rady
to Hartford neat winter. Me will nev
er ask you to send him. Metier send
him anyhow.”
Mr. Hammond's suggestion, made
last spring, has been carried Into elfkefc
so far as nominating Mr. bady, Itle for
Hie electors to do the rest to “send bln
to Hartford.
