His work did not merely consist in appearing be- fore committees at hearings, but “he worked in other ways to ac- complish what he wanted done.” + "It has long been well undemtood that no measure can be passed which Mr. Roraback opposes and that measures which he espouses are sure to go through,” the expose declared. “Mr. Roraback's control over the legislature is.-based upon the control of committees. The important com- mittees are all hand-picked. Men who are known to be faithful to the leader always dominate the com- mittees on incorporations, judiciary, railroads, labor, appropriations and cities and boroughs. In the old days the committees on suffrage and excise always were packed with the foes of suffrage and of ‘prohibition. Because it is the unwritten law that committee reports shall be sup- ported, the boss seldom has to worry about the legislature itself. All he has to do is to see to it that the com- mittee report is what he wants. The rest will take care of itself. Occa- slonally thers is a slip in that sys- tem. Then the hand of Mr. Rora- back -can be seen working through the dozen or more satellites who rush about here and there button- holing representatives and/senators, lining them up to vote the way the Opposed Woman Suffrage When Mr. Roraback came into power there were two prominent is- sues before the people of the state— prohibition and woman suffrage. All that was asked in either case was a referendum by the people of the state, and Mr. Roraback undertook upon himself to say that the pebple of the state could not have a refer endum. Finally, when the federal suffrag amendment was proposed, Mr. Ror: back “threw all his strength int preventing ratification by Connect cut. The Times continues: “Finally, when the federal suffrag amendment was proposed, Mr. Roro | back threw all his strength int« | preventing ratification by Connecti | cut. When enough states had ap proved so that ratification was cer tain and it was only a questio) whether Connecticut showld ratify in season to give the women th vote in 1920 or whether they should be compelled to wait four years, M Roraback again threw all his weigh! into the scales against them. There is no doubt but it was the insistence of the Roraback machine, and chiefly of “Mr. Roraback, which caused Governor Marcus Holcomb to take such a wholly unreasonable stand on the question of a special session to ratify the amendment. Sixty-one per cent of the members of the legislature asked for such a session and a pettlion signed by more than 100,000 women, all of voting age, was laid before him. “But for the positive influence of J. Henry Roraback Capnecticut woman might have had the ballot in state and municipal a¥airs nearly a decade before it wag finally given to them against his will, But for his opposition Cennecticut might have been numbered among the thirty- six states whose ratification made the nineteenth amendment effective. Because of his opposition it wasn't.” The hoss's attempts to prevent the state highways from being eliminat- ed from politics succeeded until’a Democratic senate came into power in 1913. He has been a reactionary political campaign manager for years and figured in the disgraceful con- vention of 1910 which resulted in the defeat of FEverett Lake for the gubernatorial nomination. “What happened in the small hours of the morning after the night session of the 1910 convention was a public scandal in Connecticut,” says the Times. “Both candidates for the nomination admitted having spent $40,000 to secure it.
