DEMOGRAT KEYNOTER LAUDS GOY. SMITH (Continued on Preceding Page) table will of Wilson with lofty pur- poses and high ideals who will lead us out of this morass of graft and corruption to the dawn of a brighter day. Where shall we look for this man? Why not in the great state of New York that furnished the nation with u democratic president 44 year: ago? The gentleman that I am about to mention combines all the haracteristics that I have described, elf-made man in every way, a real American, elected governor four times in the state of New York, an honor never betore conferred upon any men in that state, democrat or republican and one whom I know will be endorsed by this convention, minated at Ho n, Texas and elected president of the United States next November—Governor Alfred Smith of New York.

After reading the de- ense plea of the senater, T admit that T am still in doubt why our soldiers were sent there in the place but I am convinced that the American people do mot wish ou sol 10 be there and [ might sa their sentiments are expressed in o senten Let the their own disputes. Let us not forget th in the election of democratic pres- 3dent, we have only completed part of our joh. “There is still something niore to be done und that is to elect a democratic state ticket. Conn. Party History As we look back over the history of the democratic party in €on- neetient we are proud of those men who have presided over the desti- nies of our state. How mauny times have heard and read of t splendid administrations of Thomas M. Waller, Luzon B. Mo and sinieon E. Baldwin, men of the hig type of American citizenship, conservative, progressive and devot- «d 1o the highest democratic ideals. Simeon ¥, Baldwin was governor for two terms heing clected in 1912 nd 1514 and his administration sup- ported measurcs and reforms that were for the good of the whole peo- ple, irrespective of political affilia- tions. He recommended ghat judges o city courts be appointed by the gov- crnor, in the sume manner as su- pevior court judges are appointed, and 1ot be made the political foot- Lall of the party in power, in the A republican legislature of o refused to pass any such law as this because there were (00 many political plums involved. It was also rccommended that the county commissioners be elected by the voters of the county in the same manner as county sheriffs, but again this measure met the same fate as the minor court recommendations. Civil Service Report Civil service reform was advocated #o that minor clerkships in various klate offices would not be dependent wpon the political whims of the party in power. A law of this character in assisting we state. cour: Chewing gum has this tooth protecting feature g0 spent some | erfering in the | |was passed in 1913 but in 1915 a | republican legislature emasculated it ]so that the law became of no effect. | In 1913 Governor Baldwin brought | {it to the attention of the legislature | tirat damages for death from negli- | | g:nt causes should be increased from 185,000 to $10,000 owing to the de- ! creased purchasing power of the dol- | {lar, This became a law and is the | | 1aw today. In our sister state of New | York there fs no limit to the amoum‘ | that may be recovered for a death | | from negligent causes and because of | | the further decreasc in the purchas- | ing power of a dollar since 1913 should we not follow the example of New York and remove the limit in | our own state? | Also in 1913, was passed, the Workmen's Compensation aet, the | most remedial statute ever adopted | | by our state. This is the outstanding feature of the Baldwin administra- [ tion and one that has favorably affected thousands of injured work- men. We take pride in the accomplish- ments of our state democratic ad- ministrations and feel that our | pledges to the people were carried | i‘om honestly and fairly. | Govt. 6f Today In this state at the present time | there exists what might be termed an oligarchial form of government, government by a chosen few and |the will of the people is thwarted. An example of this occurred two years ago. You will remember that |at the last statc clcetion a governor was elected by the majority of the voters and he resigned the day of his inauguration. He might well be termed governor for an hour, T know of no other state where this political subterfuge could have heen successfully carried out This oligarchy rules with an iron hand and woe betide any member of the party who has the temerity to think ! for himself. He will be immediately | | disciplined and put on probation for | |a certain length of time and then if | | e promises to be good hie will be | | returned once more to the good graces of this oligarchy. This oli- | garchy controls every appointment | that is made in connection with our | !state laws, both large and small, in | levery town, city and hamlet, Tt will | be for the voters to say xt fall | whether they wish this system to | continue, T think their answer will he—NO. Just & word as to the b ss ad- | !ministration that w: tressed by the | junior senator from Connecticut. 1f | I remember correctly last fall the governor of our state admitted that | enough millions could he saved in !the operation of state affairs to fi- | ! nance neaded additions to hospitals f nd other e buildings. If this | statement is correct we are reminded | | that the republicans have been in power in our state for 15 years. | Draw your own conclusions. Was | Chartes G. Morris, candidate for gov- | ernor in 1926 correct in his state | ment that the state was being man aged extravagantly? | Too Much Power ! Too much power In the hands of | one party in a state is a detriment ! to that party as well as to the state. | | This is the condition in our state to- |day and can only e remedied by the will of the people next fall. Let us return to the principles of old fashioned democracy, tha strong, | rugged, fearless kind that has per- {meated the administrations of our | | democratic presidents. This year of | 11928 will mark & new birth of iree.! ne | country and our NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, MAY 3, dom for the democratic parfy. Let us then renew our allegiance to our party, bearing in mind that thewlitimate power in this glorious land of ours is within the keeping of the people, people of cvery class and character, rich, poor, cducated or uneducated, strong or weak, and their voices will thunder orth next November from staid and steady New England to sunny, en- thusia California, saying to the democratic party, “We place our faith in you.” SHERIFF SEIZES PYLE LAND YACHT Promoter of Bunion Derby Forced to Travel in Open Flivver Normal, I, May 3 (A—Charley ash” Pyle didn’t loll about in his $25,000 *“land yacht” to watch his army of transcontinental racers plod their weary way to fame and for- tune today. Instead he rode in an open flivver. The luxury that has been his since the start of the cross-country derby at Los Angeles, March 4, was ended abruptly near Joliet yesterday when 1 deputy sherift scized the *“land vacht,” a 12 ton truck cquipped with a. radio, shower bath, berths, el trical refrigeration and every mod- ern conveniemce. The writ was dr: the defunct lllinois Trust and Save ings bank of Champaign, 1ll, re- ceivers of which say Pyle owes the bank $21,500 on an unsecured note. n in faver of Dog Collars LICENSE YOUR DOG AND GET HIM A ew Collar See Our Windows This Week.

Pyle then had to hirc a car to take him to Normal, last night's stop. Harold “Ré8” Grange, assistant to Pyle in the derby and former University of Illinois football ace, also was threatened with a similar writ, the receivers claiming he owes the bank $21,502 on another note. \Both notes were signed about three years ago, said the receivers.
