PAONESSA OFFERED PLACE ON TICKET Mayor Reluses to Accept Nomi- Dation From State Democrats (Special to the Herald) New Haven, Sept. 3—Offered the democratic nomination for lieuten- ant governor and later that for sec- retary of state, Mayor Angelo M. Paonessa of New Britain last night declined both in spite of the, im- portunitics of more than 50 dele- satss who called at New Britain headquarters at the Taft hotel and sought to place him on the ticket. This group, composed of delegates from numerous different cities in the state, sought the Hardware City mayor for the second place on the ticket. He declined and was then oftered the post of secretary of state, which he also rejected. Mayor Paonesss was the nominece for secretary of state in 1924, op- posing the present secretary, Fran- cis A. Pallottl, and being defeated by him. With Pallotti cut from the republican ticket this fall, the demo- crats felt that this would be an op- portune time to awing the Italian vote to their party by nominating the New Britain mayor, and Pao- nessa was assured of strong sup- port in the convention if he cared to become a candidate. Registrar Thomas J. Smith of New Britain appeared before the I resolutions committes last night and asked that that body include in the platform a plank calling for repeal of the personal tax law, requiring payment of $2 each year. If this could not be done, Mr. 8mith urged that widows, at least, be exempted from payment of this tax. All through the night the New Britain delegates worked for George Le Witt, and as the convention opened this morning it appeared certain that he would be nominated for secretary of state. A group of Hartford delegates attempted to swing the New Britain senatorial support from Lonergan to Butler but failed, the Hardware City voters remaining firmly with Loner- gan. They also were standing by Thoms for the governorship. PRAISES TANMANY HALL Williams Says South Owes Debt of Gratitude to Political Organization and Should Support Candidate. Indianola, Miss., Sept. 8 (P—The south, in the opinion of John Sharp Williams, former senator from Mis- sissippi, owes to Tammany Hall a “deep and ineffaceable debt of grati- tude.” His views were expressed in a letter to Otto A. Stubblefield of In. dianaola, which has been made pub- lic. “It (Tammany Hall) was our friend in our hour of need,” Wil- liams said, ‘“when he had mighty few friends north of the Mason.

Besides his life and health are uncertain, WALKER DEFENS SHITHS RELIGON New York Mayor Gomes fo the Aid of Governor Albany, N. Y., Sept. 8 UP—Anoth- er friend and political ally of Gov- ernor Smith—Mayor Walker of New York—is concerned over attempts of some opponents of the democra- tic presidential nominee to make his religion a serious canipaign is- sue, and has expressed his views regarding them in ne uncertain terms. Gov. Smith himself is keeping si- lent on the subject, as well as on all other subjects with which he intends to deal in his aix speech drive in the midwest, far west and northern border states the latter half of the month. . “Baseless Methods” Some of his political lieutenants and even his running mate, Senator Robinson of Arkansas, however, have seen fit to take the so-called whispering campaign out into the open in an effort to halt what they term unfair and baseless methods. They have been vigorous in their de- nunciation of such attacks on the democratic standard bearer, and Mayor Walker, who expects to take the stuffip soon on behalf of the governor, was just as outspoken, if not more so, in a discussion of the subject late yesterday with news- Ppapermen. - Coming out of a long conference with Governor 8mith, at which the general political situation was taken up, the New York city executive Wwho, like 8mith, is a Roman Cath- olic, charged that “fanatical bigots” were succeeding in getting through the mails “slanderous and disgust- ing"” printed matter reflecting on the religious affiliation of the norhinee. Declaring he could not understand how the mailing privileges could be open to such material, Walker added: “It is a sad commentary on the federal government to permit some of the printed matter I have re- ceived at my home in New York, dealing with Gov. Smith’'s religion, to get in the mails. “There is either a letdown in the post office department or they are tolerating it. Anyone familiar with the eriminal branch of the post of- fice department knows how astute it is, and also how alert the depart- ment of justice is in running down this stuff. There apparently is no attempt to stop the broadcasting of these slanderous statements. Asked if he did not think _the government was allowing such mate- rial the same outlet as any other matter because of possible censor- ship accusations, the mayor replied that was possible, but added “there have been a good many periodicals or magazines prosecuted for trans- mitting salacious matter, and when you indict the morals of all the members of a given faith it certain- ly is just as offensive to the decency of the whole people.” An Atheist It such tactics continue, Walker went on, both parties “would be forced into naming “an agnostic or atheist for "the presidency, a man who has no religion.” The mayor said he had not mentioned the re- His close connection may make it difficult for him to remain absolutely impartial, We would like to have you come in and see how a trust arrangement with this institu. ligious question to the governor, who today entered his last week-end of relaxation before he opens his west- ern invasion September 18 at Omaha.

OSBORN MARRIED Lewiston, Ilis., Sept. 8 UP—Harold Osborn, former University of Illinois high jumper and National decathlon champion in 1923, 1925 and 1926, was married yesterday to Margaret Estelle Bordnar of Lewiston.

One Park ‘The only state park in Connecti- cut with salt water frontage is that at Hammonasset beach, which aver- ages more than 500,000 visitors each vear and is badly overcrowded. It must be relieved by adding other similar parks, and at once, as prop- erty on the Sound is daily becom. ing more expensive and more difi- cult to obtain. The park commission, largely re- publican in makeup, has been granted during the 15 years of its existence less than one-tenth of the money it has requested for the pur- chase of more land. This we con- sider uneconomic parsimony. The democratic party pledges itself to work for appropriations adequate tor the immediate purchase of suf- ficient land for public parks, and their development in accord with the growing needs of the popula- tion. There are present 79 commissions and boards concerned in the govern- ment of the state, not counting those of the various counties, towns, and cities responsible to the state. Moreover, under the present con- dition most of these need acts passed by the legislature to give ef- fect to the simplest action. Thus there is created such a mass of busi- ness at each biennial session of the legislature that matters of impor- tance to the state as a whole are ob- scured by details. This also tends to make it easy for those who con- trol the majority, though they may hold no office themselves, to have passed without criticism acts which have no practical lecal interest, To 20 In order to protect the people and to make the government the real executive the democratic party pledges itself to work fer a reor. ganization of the executive side of the state government on the model of that effected by Gov. Smith in New York. Farm Reliet . Public attertion is now centered on the condition of the farming pop- ulation in the middlewest. We call the attention of the citizens of Con- |necticut to the condition of the farmers in their own state. In 25 years 55 of the rural towns have actually decreased in population and 50 more have increased less than 1,000, while the general population of the state has increased over 400, 000. The abandoned farms for sale are one of the most tragic sights in the atate, and the consequent fall of real property values in the rural sections of the state is a cause of alarm. In spit of its power, based on an overwhelming rural repre- sentation, the republican party has absolutely failed to cope with this situation. The democratic party pledges itself to work for the ap- pointment of an impartial commis- sion to make an immediate study of the conditions and to consider the practicability of remedies such as rural credits, intensive truck farm- ing for the city markets, dairy farm- ing and cattle raising, reforestation, the improvement of country roads and the promotion of Connecticut as a summner resort. The science of taxation has made great advances which have not been recognized in any reform of Connec- ticut's system during the control of the state government by the republi- can party. The democratic party pledges itself to work for the ap- pointment of a competent non- partisan commission to study condi. tions and make recommendations. State Ald ‘We favor such redistribution of state aid as shall secure more equit. able opportunities of education for all children in Connecticut. The state owes a patriotic debt to disabled veterans. We pledge the democratic party to work for regu- lations which will makyg available to all disabled veterans and their fami. lies without red tape, adequate sup- port.
