WARM ATTACKS ON DEMOCRATIC PILOTS (Continued From First Page). cratic ticket although he didn't want to cast a vote for Gabb whose policy he does not approve, he told the gath- ering. He regretted the fact that the town committee was not fully repre- sented at the meeting. Says Committee Lacked Fnergy Chairman McCarthy charged that the town committee in the last two elections did net work hard; that they made no effort to get out the vote and that the election of the party's nom- inees seemed to be the thing farthest from their minds. = Continuing, he said: *The Hardware City club had to do most or the work. 1 had to hire places for tHe spring primaries, which I had no more right to do than Klett has for the democrats. If the club had left this to the town committee, Quigley would be mayor today. “On election day last April®we had 12 cars promised and during the day we had the use of 65. Where they came from I don’t know. We didn’t have to pay for a single machine. The town committee had no cars at all. “In the fall we thought we had a more lively committee and the club didn't do anything. You know what happened. In the sixth ward a ‘gent’ walked home the night before with all the ‘dope’ in his pocket—and he stayed there. At 1:30 o'clock Kiniry had to go up and get out the first votes, leaving me alone in the third ward. Deplores Committee Feuds “We can accomplish nothing with- out hard work. We must get the women working, get their vote in by noon and then concentrate on the men who have not voted. I don't want to take the work out of the town com- mittee’s hands, but . they must be ‘punched up.' They must stop fight- ing and squabbling among themselves, learn to help themselves and then we can help them.” Smith Defends Town Committee, Registrar of Voters Thomas J. Smith felt the time is opportune for a permanent organization movement. He is a member of the town com- mittee and felt that sometimes that ccmmittee is abused wrongfully. At- tacks have been common as long as he can remember, but it should be considered that committees are often- times handicapped in the work they wish to do, he said, “If you have members on the town ccmmittee that are no good—demo- crats in name only—elect new men next spring,” P.

In a recent signed statement the Sister, in charge sald: “We' cheer- fully endorse Father John's Medicine beecause in our Home it has become indispensable. We use it, not only for coughs and colds but also as a builder. We tell our friends that we would not be without it.

He assured the gathering that | it is easy enough to get rid of those not wanted. He told of the election in the fifth ward of a councilman who had a good job in the factories. The councilman was a democrat, but at City Hall continually supported the republicans. At the end of his term he was told he was no longer want- |ed and despite his efforts to secure re-election, he was dumped, the speaker asserted. George Gans, who was one of the |party's nominees for representative |this fall, felt that organization should be effected at once and a positive stand should be ‘taken on the town committee, realizing, he said, that this is a touchy proposition. He felt that those present.should be named a committee for the organization of a club amd should begin work at once, Mayor Attacks Legislature Mayor Paonessa expressed himself as pleased with the type of men at the gathering and felt it augured well for future successes of the party. He as- serted that the defeat of the demo- crats in the fall was a defeat of the people. He attacked the legislature for its failure to look after the com- mon people and devotion to the cor- porate interests. Dr. Henry R. Lasch felt that regu- lar meetings would be beneficial since the ordinary man is not well versed in political matters. He asserted that like himself, there are many men who would be interested in good, whole- some political talks. Coyle Charges Treachery Interest was again centered on the town committee when James J. Coyle, a member of that group, stated that he would like very much to be the lever by which some of the commit- teemen might be lifted out. He was applauded when he attacked other men in the party with the statement: “No one man is big enough to dis- rupt the party. Let's get rid of the treacherous democrats and re-elect Mayor Paonessa.” Eugene Sheehan counselled the party leaders against distinctions in extending invitations to meetings such as the one being held, He felt that all democrats should be invited. He urged that proper primary rooms and checking rooms be provided as an in- centive to women to vote. Chairman John E. R. Keevers of the board of fire commissioners sug- gested that every man present con- stitute a committee of one to bring in another man to the next meetng. He felt the prospects for a big, per- manent organization were good. Answering a point raised by previous speaker, Dr. A. L. Avitable asserted that no invitations need be extended as all democrats are welcome at democratic gatherings. ‘Would Stretch “Deserter’s’” Neck. Constable James W. Manning, one of the four men who organized the similar geharacter throughout ‘the | country, Father John's Medicine is what the nurses in charge depend upon to keep the children well and strong.

He again called attention to the fact that the party had a ‘de- serter” in the fall and advised that the party “stretch his neck in the future.” . Thomas D. Donlon spoke at lengt! on the party’s needs. He felt that the remarks made during the evening, be- ‘ing all along the same lines, indicated that there was unity in the party. He felt the membership at meetings could be built up and interest instilled. John Smithwick felt that the policy of handling party finances should be changed. He thought it would be a better plan if ward committees were named, each to be in charge of get- ting out the vote in its own ward and in charge of its own finances. Chairman McCarthy replied that when all democratic finances are pooled a magnifying glass is needed to see the money, but if it was di- vided among the six wards, then it wouldn’t be seen at all. - At the close of the session an- nouncement was made that regular meetings will be held in the future on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. IRELAND TAKES ITS NEW WORLD PLACE Is Now Full Fledged Common- wealth, With Own Powers London, Dec. 6. — (By Associated Press)—An historic privy council held in Buckingham palace today dealt chiefly with the establishment of Ire- land as an independent common- wealth. King George signed a procla- mation giving effect to the new Irish Free State and also a proclamation appointing Timothy E. Healy as the first governor-general of Ireland. Takes Place in World Dublin, Dec. 6. — (By Associated Press)—Ireland took her place today among the world's commonwealths. The provisional government and parliament ceased to function, their place being taken by the permanent parliament and cabinet of the Irish Free State, the new commonwealth being formally proclaimed as an es- tablished government. The provisional regime which ceas- ed to exist today had such full pow- ers that the new one now inaugurated marks but little change except in name. The program of the day pro- vides that the parliament meet at & o’clock without ceremony. After its members had taken the oath, elected a speaker and nominated a president, the order of the day called for the naming of the executive council by the president with a committee of the parliament nominating the other min- isters. The arrangements amounted simply to the confirming in office of the men already there, The president's nomination of 30 senators was a part of the day's busi- ness. The lower house elects the re- maining 80, For these senatorships there were more than 80 candidates. When the senate is constituted later in the week both houses will be ad- dressed by Governor-general Healy.

Original Signers Gone This is the anniversary of the sign- ing of the Anglo-Irish treaty, and it is recalled that not a single signatory remains a member of the Saorrstat government. Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins are dead; Robert Barton has joined De Valera; George ‘avan Duffy and Eamon J. Duggan have retired; Erskine Childers has been cxecuted. The only man whose| name was affixed to the articles of agreement and who still holds an offi- cial post is John Chartries, the Free State representative in Berlin. Press Is Hopeful. The newspapers editorially refer to! the birth of the Free State in a hope- ful spirit. The Freeman's Journal, remarking that the Irish Free State begins life today under a constitution of Irish manufacture, adds: “All intrigues to make trouble over the new instrument of the Irish gov- ernment fell to the ground on the realization that the British parlia- ment, despite all' the supremacy | tlaimed for it, could not change. a word or phrase in an Irish made constitution without Ireland's con- sent. The much abused treaty has disestablished that domination and made Ireland supreme in administra- tion of their own affairs.” The Irish Independent says that the old and Bad order completely dis- appears with the inauguration of the new government. The vice royalty and the lord chancellorship are abolished,” it says, “and the entire machinery of the administration as well as the sole law-making power within the free state is in the hands of Irishmen themselves.” Praise For Workers. The newspaper considers that the men who were in charge of the af- fairs during the transitional period, although comparatively young, have shown wonderful constructive ability. The Irish Times says that the Irish people by their own deliberate choice are left to their own resources to make their own laws and shape their program. “Their future will be what they choose to make it,"” this journal de- clares, “and the honor of success or the shame of failure will fall upon themselves. Within the next couple of years—for those must be critical vears—they wil confound or justigy the prophets of evil.,” Has World’s Confidence. The Irish Times continues with the assertion that the infant state enjoys the confidence of Great Britain, the British empire and the whole world. “Mr. Harvey, the United States| ambassador says that America stands | ready to help in every possible way,” the newspaper says, and asks whethe Irishmen will be able to apply ¢ their own needs the purpose, vision and force of character which the government demands. BIRTHDAY SURPRISE Mrs. Justinius Johnson of 151 Fair- view Strect Honored, Mrs. Justinius Johnson of 151 Fair- view street, was pleasantly surprised at her home last evening by a party of about 50 of her friends who gather- ed in honor of her 50th birthday. The gathering came as a complete sur- prise to her, and was the occasion for much merrymaking during the eve- ning. A delightful lunch was served after which Mrs, Johnson was presented with a beautiful electric coffee urn, Mrs. Johnson, who before her mar- riage was Miss Alma Boquist, wasg born in Swedem and came to this country at an early age. She has been a resident of this city for over 30 years.

F, Delaney has called the attention of the general public to a list of suggestions which he of- fers concerning the holiday mail, in- cluding parcel post. At this season of the year the regular mails are heavy and in addition the holiday mail must be handled. A number of extra clerks and car- riers will be taken from the eligible list of those who have passed the civil service examinations, to assist during the rush. The people of New Britain are asked to mail as early as possible so that post office men will not be obliged to work all day Sun- day, December 24 or on Christmas Day. If the 60 or more men are obliged to work on Sunday the work at the local office will be somewhat delayed the following week inasmuch as each man will be allowed to take one day off during Christmas week. If a man works on Christmas Day he will have an opportunity to take a day off sometime during the month of Janu- ary. Postmaster W. F. Delaney has is- sued the following list of suggestions and asks the New Britain people to adhere to them as much as is pos- sible: Mail early. Wrap securely, using heavy paper and strong twine. Ordinary store paper is not sufficient to protect par- cels, and all stamp clerks have been ordered to refuse all parcels which are not properly packed. Place the address of sender in the upper left hand corner of the parcel. Address should always be placed in the lower right hand corner, and should be more prominent than the return address. Parcels require a longer time be- tween offices than letter mail, as all trains do not handle parcel post mat- ter. Do not seal your parcels or place Red Cross or Christmas seals over the ends of the parcel or over the laps of the paper. All stickers should be placed on the back of the parcel, and Red Cross Seals are not good for postage for any mail matter. If the stamp clerks asks the con- tents of a parcel give a definite state- ment, as he must know in order to properly rate the postage and to know whether it is properly packed for mailing. Write the address plainly (with pen and ink), give the street and number, as substitute -carriers are employed to assist in the delivery of holiday mail and they are not famillar with the street addresses. The spirit of the holidays is one of generosity, Be generous to your friends by not using “tiny” or “cute” envelopes which cause additional labor in handling and a delay in their delivery. All envelopes should be not less than three inches wide by five inches long. Mailing Schedule It you will mail your parcels on the dates given in the following sched- ule, they rhould be delivered by Christmas. They may be sent early, \ [} and 1 and marked “Do not open until Christmas.” Dec. 15th—California and far west- ern states.
