When he entered the state armo: and made his way to the platform I was given an hearty welcome. n the course of his speech said: “The Legion was founded on the theory of uniting all those who serv ed for a common cause and made common sacrifices. The Leigon Is based on the theory of democracy, he that in it neither race, religion nor | material possessions should play a part. The Legion should make it i province .0 see that in the nation at large the same doctrine holds.

Action of this sort is un-American and to guard against it Is the duty of the I - ion. “Over and above all this, the ac- tlons collect! ¢, cf the Legion must not be considered as bars to the in- dividual ~ction of the service men. Our country is governed by parties and can only exist through intelli- gent political action on the part of the people.

I am a republican and be- long to the re, -.lican party but T would rather have a Legion man be- 'glong to the demo-ratic party than have him belong to no party at all. Each member of the Legion should join the party he believes to be right and work for its success. If the Legion men with the ideals they have, take a proper interest in poli- ties, T will not fear greatly for the future of the c untry, regardless of € who may be triumphant at the polls. “The Legion has great opportuni- tes if it avalls itsclf of them. It will need no monument, for it will al- ways be held in grateful remem- brance by the country. DOn its ac- tions collectively and on the actions of its members as individuals in .y large measure depends the future of wathe United States.” Words of Welcome The convention was called to order by te Commander Harry C. ¢ Jackson who presented Mayor John B.

Stad- led to the detective bureau, Chief W. C. Hart of the police depart- nt announced this morning that a drive will be made at once to clean up the situation caused by liquor violations in this city. Policeman Stadler has been a member of the traftic squad for the past few years, and prior to that, he was in the detective bureau. He prominent in several liquor ralds and was compelled to undergo an operation following an injury sus- tained in one raid. Chief Hart ald Detective Ser- cant Ellinger and Policeman Stad- r will devote their time to the uor violation end of the detective bureau work. Detective Sergeant W. P. McCue, who is in charge of the bureau, and crgeant Patrick O'Mara and Policeman Thomas J. Teeney who have been on detail in the bureau for some time, will continue. Their duties will include the routine work of plain clothes men but they will also be available for duty with the liquor detail. Chief Hart believes that enough work is entailed in the handling of matters coming to the detective bureau to warrant a special detat] on liquor law violations. Heretofore, the entire bureau detail worked on all matters coming to this branch of the department, and Chief Hart did not publicly designate a squad for wrticular work. Frequently, only Sergeant 0'Mara and Officer Feeney apeared as witnesses in court when alleged violators of the prohibition laws were heard, and often, every officer in the bureau took part fn raids. New Britain's prosecution of pro- prictors of speak-easies, manufac- turers of wine and liquor and others falling into the category of scofflaws has resulted in putting many places of unsavory reputation out of busi- ness, yet there are violations exist- ing, it is said, in practically every ction of the city. The proportion of convictions to arrests has been high, it is said, compared to the records of other cities. The vacancy in the traffic squad has not been filled as yet, Chief Hart said, but he intimated that he in- tends to transfer a night police- man to Policeman Stadler's former post. Temporarily, one of the day policemen will fill in. *“When our traffic signal lights are installed, we will not need so many men on traf- fic duty about the center of the city,” the chief said.
