’ . v w 4 BARBECUE DISHES ongworth and Wakolt Spenk At Repubiican (i Dimer Declaring that the continuance of a high tariff policy in this country is essential to the welfare of the workingman and exhorting their audience mot to put Tammany in power in Washington, Rep. Nicholas Lengworth of* Ohio, speaker of the house of representatives, and Fred- eric C, Norfolk, candidate for the United States senate from Connecti- cut, addressed 500 men and women at the annual barbecue of the Third Ward Republican club at Lake Com- pounce last Saturday afternoon. Other speakers were Gov. John H. ‘Trumbull and Mrs. Ruth Walthers, Tepublican state central committee- ‘woman, of this city. - - ‘Every Vote Counts—Bartiest. Councilman Donald L.- Bartiett president of the club, who presided, struck a serious note when he ap- pealed to all republicans to vote early on November §, saying: “Two votes, three votes, count this year for the republican party.” While indirect reference was fre- quently made to Gov. Alfred E. 8mith of New York, democratic can- didate for president, his name was not: mentioned. The speakers fired their shells at “Tammany.” Herbert Hoover, republican nomines for president, was hailed as the “Great- est American” and his election was predicted. Proceedings were delayed because of the tardiness of Speaker Long- worth, who falled to make train connections. He reached the lake about half an hour after the dinner was scheduled to begin, - Promfinent Guosts Present Among; the prominent men and ‘women i gttendance were: Governor and Mra. John H.

As they stood on the stage to sing, the let- ters “H-0-O-V-E-R” were spelled across the front of their costurnes and “C-U-R-T-1-8" across the back. The girls, who have become & permanent part of the ~republican wWomen's campaign, arc: Miss Doro- thy Latham, Mra. Willlam Fay, Miss Anna May Haviick, Miss Augusta Stipek, Miss Doris Bradley, Miss Lilllan Bertint and Miss Olive Shaw. Opening the speaking program, Chairman Bartlett commented on the large crowd present, interpret- ing this fact as proof that the Third Ward club barbecue is taking its place as one of the most important party affairs in the state. “It is growing In influence in formulating interest in state affairs,” he declared. “The presidential and state elec- tions are coming and it behooves every one of us to interest ourselves. It is very essential, as never before, that you and I vote early. Impress that on your friends. Election work- ers know that the bane of their lives is to get the snoogers out to vote two minutes before the polls close. The vetes, three votes, count this year for the republican party. Start to- day and tell your friends to vote be- fore 10 o'clock in the morning. That will leave us the rest of the day to get in the stragglers.” . Walcott Calls Tammany Issue After thanking the republican voters for nominating him for United States senator. Walcott plunged into his talk by declaring: “We have be- fore us—1 weigh my words care- fully—the most Qmpomlg issue since the Civil war.. 1 refer to Tammany 1. “In additfon we have a group of almost unsolvable problems. These include our relations with - Furope. They also include the economic con- dition of the 42,000,000 workers whose wages must be kept at the luzury level so that parents may educate their children and not only have money for necessities but for pleasures as well. “The man we have chosen to work out our problems iy the greatest liv- ing American—Herbert Hoover. We haye not had the privilege of voting for auch a man since Abrabam Lin- coln.” Hoover, the speaker amerted, has vision and courage and the ability to lead the country away from “the menace of Tammany Hall Mrs. Ruth Walther said that the Presence of 30 many women was & demonstration of their political b Uef and. of the fact that “we have something to brag about in the Woman's Republican club of New Britain, It is the finest in the state, barring none.” 8he invited her ls- teners to visit the clubls home on West Main street and declared that the women were “going to put New Britain over.” Trumbull Says Statc Is ¥or G. O, P. As Gov. Trumbull rose to speak, the “Hoover Girls" sang a greeting and scaled several miniature air- planes over the heads of the diners as a tribute to his accomplishments as an aviator. ‘When he had expressed his com- pliments to the club on the success of the barbecue, he turned to state affairs as conducted by republican administrations, He said Connecticut was & leader wsocially, industrially, politically and educationally, adding that his interest was not political but from the standpoint of good government. He said that running a state is similar to running a large corporation—the object being to get a dollar's worth for every dollar ex- pended, He reminded the audience that Connecticut does an ‘“annual business” of $30,000,000, He prais- ed officials in charge of state de- partments and sald that the new budgeting system was working smoothly, Referring to the presidential elec- tion, Gov. Trumbull sald: “This state will go over the top for the repub- lican candidates by a substantial ma- jarity. This is also true of all the New England states. Connecticut will be found in the republican col- umn as one of the staunchest sup- porters of Herbert Hoover.” Longworth Praises Fenn Speaker Longworth complimented the “Hoover Girls” and the repub- lican women workers, He referred to the names of Hoover ahd Curtis spelled out on the girls' dresses and said he had no doubt that Curtis was nominated chiefly because his name contained the same number of letters as Hoover's. He referred to the yeyr 1904 when his father-in- law the late Theodore Roosevelt, was runniug for the preaidency against Alton B. Parker, saying that “R”, which was the first or Roose- velt was the last of Parker. *And 'H”, which is the first of Hoover, is also the last of Smith”, he said. As speaker of the house, he said, he had seen to it thgt the pledges of the republican party, when they were on their way to being enacted into legislation, were facilitated. In this work, he added, he had had the assistance of Congressman E. Hart Fenn of this district. “You have a right to be proud of Fenn,” he asserted. At this point Speaker Longworth's memory played him a trick, . He was about to refer to New ain as the “Hardware Center of the World” but just as he was launched on that tack he was unable to name the particular industry with which New Britain is everywhere identi- fled. ‘New Britain {s far famed as he began, Then he paused and. whispered to one of the diners near him. *“Hardware”, said the diner in a “stage whisper” which could be heard half way across the lake. as the ‘Hardware Center of the World’, Longworth resumed. of my objects during this campaign is to sce that the hardware industry and other industries are not ruined.” vns Tssue of Religioin Speaker Longworth affirmed his belief in the party system of gov- ernment. *I belleve in a strong re. publican party”, he said. "I be. lieve also in a strong democratic party—not too strong, of course. But I hope the day will never come when political parties are formed on geographical, .racial or religious lines. We republicans do not regard religion as disqualifying any man from public officc. This, I am sure, is the position of every responsible leader of the republican party from our candidate for president down. It the religious issue has been in- jected into this campaign it is no fault of ours. It it continued to be projected, we can only deplore 1t ‘Taking up another point, Speaker Longworth said: “There is no danger in America of executive domination over your representatives in con- gress. The executive cannot dictate legislation. He can advise or he can “Hence all talk about what will happen if you elect a democratic “New Britain is far famed ! One | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1928, president is pure poppycock. Yet it is whispered that if you elect a democrat certain evils will be remedied. That's whispering, and it comes from the democrats not from the republicans.” Hits Democratic Tariff Plank Speaker Longworth sald that the democratic party made overtures to “Big Business” through its afili- ation with Raskob, connected with the second biggest business corpor- ation in the world. ‘The democratic tariff plank is a “thinly velled effort to delude the voter into the belief that the demaq, cratic party had abandoned its age old opposition to the protective theory,” he said. Referring to the democratic cau- cus rules in congress, the speaker declared that the republican caucus never tries to bind its members on matters of policy. “Members of the democratic caucus gannot bolt the will of the caucus or they will face *“The present make up Of the house includes some 195 democrats, more than two-thirds of whom come from states where there are practi- cally no manufacturing industries. In the present ways and means com- mittee, the democratic representa- tion includes eight of its ten mem- bers from states having practically no manufacturing industries.” No democratic president has ever vetoed & tariff bill, Mr. Longworth said. President Cleveland, disapprov- ing the Wilson bill, let it become a law without his signature, he added. The speaker read the tariff plank in the democratic platform adopted at Houston, Texas, laying heavy stress on its reference to "effective com- petition.” He spent some time criti- cizing the use of the word “effect- ive,” insisting that the foreign manu- facturer would have an advantage over the American producer. Unless a duty on manufactured products is adequate to protect the American manufacturer and work- ingman it is as bad as no duty at all, he said. He referred to the Un- derwood tariff bill which, while in effect, he said, caused a business de- cline which the war alone stopped. “No republican protective tarift ever closed a factory, morigaged a farm or caused an American man or woman to lose their jobs; no demo- cratic tariff ever failed to do all three,” he shouted. Speaks of Debt Reduction Speaker Longworth said that when the republicans resumed power in Washington seven years ago they found the country in debt to the abount of $26,004/000,000, “We have reduced that debt to $10,000,000,000. When we came back to Washington we found it was costing $6,500,000 to run the government. But through the economy and wisdom of New England's greatest citizen, Calvin Coolidge, expenses have been cut to $4,000,000, Some of the debts are irreducible, ‘There is one debt I wouldn't cut by so much as a penny —that is the million we give to dis- abled veterans 'of the World War. “Seven years ago we found mil- lions out of work. Today there are few out of work and they are in scattered communities. We closed the door against industrial competi- tion agg we closed the door against undesirable immigrants. 1f 1 had my way I would insist on all who come to our shores assimilating our ideals und becoming American citizens. Some are herc for no good purpoec iand I'd take that type which is de- structive of government, put them on every available ship and send them back whence they came.” Statistics showing the increase in the number of workingmen who have become shareholders in corpor- ations, the increase in savings bank deposits and the growth of home owners were furnished by the speak- er. “The brains and energy of the people are largely responsible but these things are achieved under the administration of the party in power,” he said. Near the end of his talk, SBpeaker Longworth referred to Tammany, saying, “Keep the tiger's claws out of the American treasu He concluded by stating that the people would have given President Coolidge four years more in office had he desired to serve and predict- ing that they would turn to Hoover for thefr next president, GARNER TROPHIES ATCORPS MEETING {Prizes Won by New Britain Groups and Individuals Major William J.

MANNING (Washington Coriespondent. N. B. Herald) Washington, D. C., Oct. 1—In es- timating the population of New Britain, Conn., at 72,800 on July 1, 1928, the census bureau points out that the figure is the result of com- putations based on the assumption |that the annual increase since 1920 has been the same as the average yearly increase between 1910 and 1920. The estimated popultion on July 1, 1927, was 71,200, Official 1920 figures showed New Britain’s population to be 59,316. he estimated : opulation of the cit was 66,453 in 1924; 68,039 in 192 69,500 in 1926, and 71,200 in 1927, The population o: other Connec- ticut cities, is estimated as of July 1928, and July 1, 1927, as toi- low artford, 172,300 this ur {and 18,300 last year; Meriden 100 th ear and 36,800 last year; New Haven, 187,900 this year and 184,900 last year; Stamford, 43,800 this year and 42,800 last year. No estimates are made for Bridgeport, New London and Waterbury. Census To Be Taken in 1930 Accurate population figures will not be available until after the 1930 census is taken. The house of rep resentatives on May 21, 1928, pass- ed a bill providing for the taking of the next decennial census and it is expected the measure will pass the senate early in December. The bill fixes April 1, instead of January 1, as the officlal census date in the | belief that data on the rural popu- !lation will be shown more correctly on this date than on Janual 1.
