The industries of Connecticut would wither and die, the workers will be told, if the Democrats begin to tamper with the tariff law. Connecticut has a very large foreign- born population, and these late comers to America, the Democrats believe, will | look with favor on the candidecy of Gov. | Smith. himself the son of an immigrant. One Out of Four Foreign Born. A glance at the most recent figures show that the native-born white-popula- tion of Connecticut was 982,219 in 1920, and the foreign-born whites numbered 376,513. In other words, more than one of every four people in the State is for- eign born. The largest of the foreign- born groups are the Italo-Americans with 80,000 plus. The Poles come next | with 46,000 and then the Irish-Ameri- cans, with 45,000. There are more than 38,000 Russians and more than 22,000 24,000 have come in from Canada, many of them French Canadians. However, the Republicans insist that very many of the foreign-born citizens have voted the Republican ticket in the ! past and will continue to do so. Mr. Roraback takes the view that Re- publicans in Connecticut generally are Republican before they are “wet.” and will retain their allegiance with the Republican party this Fall. G. O. P. Hopes in Women. A great deal of attention is being given the woman vote here by the Re- publications, in the belief that the dry women will go far toward offsetting any losses among the men due to the wet issue. A capable woman's organ- ization, under the lead of Miss Kath- erine Byrne, Republican State vice chairman, is operating full blast. In dealing with the voters inclined to swing to Smith on the wet issue the Republicans are seeking to impress on them the fact that Gov. Smith cannot bring about the sale of liquor, since a constitutional amendment is some- thing Congress and the States must pass_upon. The keynote speech of the Republican State convention, delivered last night by the temporary chairman, Represent- ative Schuyler Merritt, set the pace and gave the angle with which the Re- publicans will seek to undermine Gov. Smtilh‘s popularity in Connecticut as a wet. Uses Popular Argument. Mr. Merritt declared frankly he did presidential candidate said he was op- posed to the repeal of the eighteenth amendment. But, he said, it was quite olear that Gov. Smith, if elected to the presidency, could not make the Nation or Connecticut wet. He used, indeed, the same argument now advanced in dry Democratic territory by dry Demo- cratic speakers who urge the election of Gov. Smith—that is, Gov. Smith without the acquiescence of two-thirds of the Senate and House and three- fourths of the 48 States cannot repeal or amend the eighteenth amendment. “I have not recently looked up the | figures,” said Mr. Merritt, “but I think | it is safe to say that no motion looking | even to a modification of the Volstead | act has ever received 100 votes in the, House, where the membership is 485.) This s 190 votes short of the two-thirds required to amend the Constitution. | Before the eighteenth amendment was | adopted 30 States had gone dry by their | own votes, so only 6 more States were needed to make the necessary 36 to rati- | fy. But since then all but two States, Connecticut and Rhode Island, have ratified. Now, will any sane man con- tend, assuming that these two States could favor repeal, that 34 more States could be found which would reverse | themselves on this question or that 190 | congressional districts will change and send wet Representatives to Congress?’ 1t is possible that the method of attack against Smith, the wet cham- pion, now advanced in Connecticut, will be the same Republican offensive de- veloped in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and other wet territory. Mr. Merritt made no effort in his key- note address to line-up the voters for the cause of prohibition. He is himself a wet. But he said: Declared to Face Conditions. “We are facing a copdition not a theory. We can only act wisely if we base our actions on facts and not on fancies. I do not agree with Mr. Hoover as to the eighteenth amendment. He does not favor its repeal, while I do because, in my opinion, special social legislation should have no place in the Constitution. Mr. Smith's observations on this question in his speech are inter- I agree. But so far as having any effec Germans and 22,000 English born, while | not agree with Mr. Hoover when the | esting and with some of his statements | THE EVENING he might as well discourse on astronomy or any abstract question. All of his own party leaders are going about and | assuring their audiences that they do not agree with him and that they need not fear any action such as he advises. Regrets Hoover's View. “While I regret it, I think Mr. Hoo- ver expresses the existing situation when | he says our country has deliberately undertaken a great social and economic experiment. While this experiment has not, as I think, worked well so far, its abandonment must be left to further ex- perience and to public opinion. Mr. Hoover frankly acknowledges that under it great abuses have occurred and | promises a searching investigation of facts and causes of the abuses. “It is to be hoped that this investiga- tion will develop means for carrying on this great experiment without disregard- |ing other and more basic sections of | the Constitution, such, for example, as |the fourth amendment; and that we | may be freed from suck vagaries in the name of 1w as have lately been in- dulged in by prohibition authorities in New York: and from such outrages as the shooting and molesting of innocent citizens by -nforcement officers who know no law and disregard all rights. “Now if I am right as to the existing situation, and as to any prospect of its change for years to come, it is clear | that whichever candidate is elected can | do nothing except to endeavor, under his oath of office, to enforce existing law as best he may. Both candidates promise to do this. Therefore in choos- ing between them one should do so on other grounds.” McLean Raises Trouble. When Senator George H. McLean, the senior Senator from Connecticut, an- nounced he would not be a candidate to succeed himself he raised up a few troubles for the Republican organiza- | tion and Mr. Roraback. The organiza- | tion has decided to back, however. | Frederic C. Walcott of Norfolk, banker and sportsman. William H. Blodgett, State tax commissioner, is also an ac- | tive candidate for the nomination, and | the matter may be taken to the floor of | the convention for settlement. Walcott's nomination is expected. Gov. John H. Trumbull, although not secking renomination, is willing to ac- cept, and his nomination appears to be a foregone conclusion. He has given the State a_good administration for two terms. For lieutenant governor the or- ganization is putting forward Ernest H. Rogers of New London, dropping the present lieutenant governor, J. Edwin Brainard of Branford. Brainard is not pleased, but seems unable to help him- self. Another contender for the nom- ination is Francis A. Pallotti of Hart- ford, now secretary of State. Democrats Have Contests. ‘The Democrats have their contest for nominations, too. With new hope, due to the fact that Gov. Smith heads the national ticket this year, Democrats are coveting both the senatorial and guber- natorial nomination, believing that it may be possible to ride to victory on . 9 Eiseman’s 7th & F Sts.

There are sev: eral candidates for the Senate nomina- tion, but those who are most talked of in this connection are two former Rep- | resentatives in_ Congress, Augustine Lonergan and Patrick B. O'Sullivan. For the gubernatorial nomination the candidates are Charles G. Morris, son of a Democratic governor, and former Mayor Wiliam E. Thoms of Waterbury. | Religious Issue Declared Rejected. National Committeeman Spellacy is | placing the victory of Gov. Smith in the presidential race above every other | consideration, and has expressed the | belief that the Democrats should “bal- ance” their ticket. “In this campaign,” he says, “religion has been openly re- jected as an issue. Both former Rep- | resentatives Lonergan ana O'Sullivan are in every way worthy to adequately | represent the State in the Senate, their ability or their qualifications are not the question. Neither in my opinion will add to the Smith strength in Con- necticut. Either, however, in my opin- 10n, subtracts from that strength. Bal- | ance the ticket and win. Smith will have a certain vote in Connecticut no | matter who is placed upon the ticket. | So will Hoover, regardless of his ticket associates. The election will be deter- mined by the few thousands remain- | ing.” " This is a ffank statement by the| Democratic national committce regard- ing the so-called religious issue. The Republican leaders assert that they do | not._believe the religious issue is going | to figure so largely in Connecticut as has been predicted in certain quarters. They point out that many positions of importance, and many minor positions, in the Republican organization of the | State are now held by Catholic men and women.
