IBIG PARTY .GHTS SHINE Roraback, Leaders of Senate House and Judge Henney Klett Toastmaster. If a resident of $ stepped into | and listened to some of the speakers | being introduced he would have been willing to w legisla- would “pig” meeting of the Connecticut ture. To a certain extent he have been correct as all the men of that body were persent as the club, with a Dutch supper. Among the ¢ brities there, of whom have necticut history since last fall, Lieutenant Governor Clifford B. son of Dridgeport,. State Treasurer i Frederick S. Chamberlain, { ler Morris C. Webster, Senator E. L. Isbell of New Haven, leader of the senate; Speaker of the House Frank BE. Healey of Windsor Locks, Judge William F. Henney of Hartford and the only, original three-ring perform- er, J. Henry Roraback, who was at many were when it juggernauted the democrats and progressives in that seer and bleak November of 1914. Others there were Mayor George A. Quigley, Senators Harvey P. Bissell, D. W. Tuttle, S. L. Alford and Thomas Mol- loy and Representatives E. W. Schultz and E. C. Goodwin of this city and Churchill of Newington. Senator' George W. Klett of this city .was toastmaster. The speeches rang with fidelity . to the principles of Lincoln although the ‘“Great Emancipator” was forgot- ten at times while the speakers dwelt on Connecticut politics, which have not always been played as Lin- coln played 'em Over 300 were pres- ent and enthusiasmi was rampant. Judd’s orchestra - furnished music and the audience sang patriotic songs. Mr. Roraback, chairman of the republican state central committee and the target for democratic sharp- shooters in the last campaign, was given a noisy reception when he en- tered the hall. It was some time be- fore he could sit down as many want- ed to shake him by the hand. It was his first public appearance in this city. Stewart Parsons, president of the ting that the club should gather to ‘“dogs” had been chased away. He introduced Senator Klett "as toastmaster and three cheers and a tiger were given with a will. . Senator Klett. Senator Klett thought it very fit- ting that the club should gaeher to observe the natal day of Abraham Lincoln as it was he who was the bedrock of republicanism. Lincoln was a leader and a master because he had sublime faith in the people and that cardinal principle of the party —the protective tariff, said the speak- er. It would be a patriotic lesson if each child could study every day the character of Abraham Lincoln, he said. Senator Klett mentioned - ‘“‘bread- lines” and ‘“poverty’” and predicted an overwhelming victory for republican- ism at the fext election ‘‘because the people are sick of Dr. Wilson’s medi- cine.” Speaking of Last Fall. Mayor Quigley was given a rousing reception as he was introduced by the toastmaster. “It was in this hall when things looked mighty blue for the country that we first organized a ward club,” satd Mayor Quigley, growing remi- niscent. ““And it was from this hall that the word first went forth for the election of a representative to con- gress, and it can not be denied that it was due to New Britain's support that he was elected.” There Are Wilsons and Wilsons, In introducing Licutenant Governor ‘Wilson, Senator Klett referred to him as a man who bears the same name as the president, but whose medicine is more palatable. He said it would not be at all strange if the lieutenant governor came to New Britain next time as governor. Lieutenant Governor Wilson created a ripple of laughter in the first inning when he referred to his garb as “the conventional attire of a head waiter.” He was in dress suit, donned for an- other function which he was to attend later. “I owe a deep debt of gratitude to New Britain,” he said, ‘‘because, if my memory serves, my opponent we one of your fellow townsmen. It pleased me to know that you chose me, of whom you knew so little, in preference to my opponent, of whom vou knew so much.” (Laughter.) Lieutenant Governor Wilson then launched into a glowing eulogy of Lincoln for his honesty, steadfastness and backbone. “It would be a big thing for us to pattern, as a party and individually, after the life and acts of Abraham Lincoln,” he said in conclusion. And Here's J, Henry. J. Henry Roraback was handed a ise package when Senator Kiett on him to spea Mr. Rora- aid that New Britain was the lure that could call him from of his home in the Litch- hack only the quiet field hills.

Henry said. “I want to say only one thing more—that you apparently believe not only in win- ning elections but in sending the right kind of men ot the legisla- ture.” Isbell on Civil Service Law. Senator E. O. Isbell, leader of the upper house, the next speaker, ac- cuged the democrats of creating the civil service law in order to keep some perfectly whole democratic scalps in a perfectly whole condi- tion. % “The naughty republicans came along and wanted to change the bill and so we are talked about and writ- ten about and what they say about us isn’t fit for publication.” Senator Isbell’s reference to the civil service bill was timely as he is chairman of the judiciary commit. tee which is trying to revamp the bill so that some of the faithful may be able to elbow their’ way to the pie counter. “Me and Abe Lincoln.” Representative Frank R. Healey of Windsor Locks, speaker of the house, intimated that he favored the cause of the allies in Europe as his first words were “You can’t convert me with sauerkraut and hot dogs.” Speaker Healey dwelt on the great- ness of Abraham Lincoln. “I like him because he started at the bottom like I did; I'm not at the tap vet, but my health is very gaod,” said Mr. Healey. Speaker Healey told of how he happened to break into the legisla- ture. Charles Bissell of Suffield was running for congress. He went to Mr. Healey and said: “Frank, I'm told Windsor Locks has gone to hell. I want you to run for represent tive so the people will forget me.” Mr. Healey ran and, much to hs sur- prise, won. The speaker described as cock” and “bunkum” the that Roraback had ever meddle in legislative aft Mr. Healey referred to his c didacy for speaker of the house against Morris C. Webster. The latter was victorious. ‘“And a better selection could not have been made,"” he said. No Gold Bricks Wanted. “I want to say this,” he said, “that the man who comes to Hartford with a load of gold bricks can take them back and lay them for the founda- tion of that armory at Waterbury— for that's as far as it will ever get.” Speaking on another tack, Mr. Healey said: “We know what New Britain means to the party and we knew that New Britain wasn't get- ting proper recognition. But I know you felt complimented at the unan- imous choice of Frederick S. Cham- berlain for treasurer.” Mr. Healey said that Joseph Towers of this city would have won a four yvear term as county commissioner if “'poppy charges tried to irs. n- T0 REMOVE DANDRUFF H ey e Ay A emedee- Get a 25-cent bottle of Danderine at any drug store, pour a little into your i hand and rub well into the scalp with the finger tips.

The speaker paid a high compliment to ex-Represen- tatives Muller and Crona and pre- dicted big things for Senator Klett and Representatives Schultz and Goodwin. Judge William F. Henney. Judge William F. Henney of Hart- ford, republican national committee- man from Connecticut, was _intro- duced among the strains of *“Auld Lang Syne.” : Judge Henney reiterated what others had remarked—that New Britain saved the neck of the repub- lican candidates for congress at the last election. The greater part of Judge Henney's address dealt with the life of Lincoln, who, he said, was a failure until he took his stand on slavery at that famous convention at Bloomington, Illinois. From the hour that vttered the declaration that nation could not exist half slave and half free his path was clear, said the speaker. Judge Henney said the re- publican party must hew to its prin- ciples if it expects to retain the con- fidence of the people. Economy Necessa Speaking of state affairs, Judge { Henney said the revenue for the next | two years will be $9,000,000 and the alleged expenses between $18,000,000 and $25,000,000 He was glad that the party faced such an obstacle be- | his | do to run | cause he feels that duties well. It will never behind from year to year, he said. Judge Henney recommended the es- tablishment of a state beard of fin e to consist of the governor, trea cemptroller, a member of the and a member of the house and two financial experts. This board could compile a budget in an advisory ca- pacity. it will meet Henney Favors Civil Service, spoke also in favor rule for cities. Regarding service, he said the party should have the courage of its con- victions and either repeal or streng- then the merit system as it consciens tiously believes in doing, The speaker said no half way measures will do—the law must either be adopted or dropped. If it is adopted | the most efficient men should get the bs. He insisted that the law be en a close, careful examination be- e taking any action. Judge Henney urged his hearers to lcok out for 1916. He said the country should have a tariff that will bring the country out of the slough | of despond. It should 2 which will also yield sufficient nue to run the government. In conclusion, Judge Henney said that it was the duty of republicanism to show that it was just as solicitous for the welfare of the state as for | the party itself, The dinner ended with sembly singing “America.” Among Those Present, Prominent politicians present those who spoke were: Stuart W.
