Advises Prompt Dispatch of Business in Address at McKinley Assn. Dinner— Cong. Begg Speaks. (Bpecial to the Herald) Hartford, Feb, 8—Gov. John H. Trumbull stuck a pin into the leg- islature at the 25th annual dinner ot the McKinley association of Con- necticut last night at the Hartford club and told it to speed up. Contrasting the methods of dis- posing of business in the assembly with methods in other assemblies, he expressed the conviction that 00 much time is wasted in getting down to brass tacks. He referred to the fact that the Connecticut legislature spends a month preparing to go ahead and as a result sessions con- tinue longer than necessary. Hold- ing up Florida as a shining example, he said that the assembly in that state cleans its slate in two months while Connecticut lags along for five months, the amount of business dis- posed of in both states being approx- imately equal. Begg Criticizes U, S. Senate Congressman James T. Begg of Ohijo, scheduled as the principal speaker, was forced to abbreviate his address so that he might catch a train to Washington. But while he was on his feet he took a fling at the United States senate for voting approval of an additional $24,000,- 100 for the enforcement of the pro- hibition law, declaring that the pro- posed appropriation was merely & trick on the part of Senator Harris of Georgia to rehabilitat~ *he demo- cratic party of his state and to re- store it to the good graces of Georgia citizens, He exalted the Jower house for its stalwart stand against the appropriation. Congres: man Begg declared that Sen. Harris move was simply one of many demo- cratic tricks which the republican majority must be prepared to resist. Best G. O. P. Banquet in State The banquet was, without excep- tion, the best the McKinley associ- ation had ever held. The banquet hall of the Hartford club was filled to capacity with an overflow at- tendance being accommodated in smaller dining rooms, The atmosphere was reminiscent of the McKinley campaign. Transparencies on Wwhich were painted slogans of that period were placed about the hall and a smal newspaper containing items in the | public prints of the 90's were dis- tributed. Prior to the banquet the waiters, dressed in working men's garb, marched about the hall car- rying “full dinner pails.” Later each guest received a pail as a souvenir. Scated at the speakers’ table were the elite of Connecticut republican- ism, men and women. A list of these present would read like a di- rebtory of the somebodies of the G. 0. 1. in this state, including state officials, members of the legislature, judges, lawyers, big frogs in small puddles and little frogs in big pud- dles. They were all there and after a repast which was excellent in every item, listened to speeches in which the lyric note of high protec- tive tariff as a guarantee Of pros- perity was sounded early and often. Representatives in Congress Absent Letters of regret were read from Senators Mg¢Lean and Bingham and Representatives Freeman, Glynn, Fenn, Tilson and Merritt and Sen- ator-Elect Walcott. At the sugges- tion of National Committeeman J. Henry Roraback, resolutions were adopted eulogizing the services of Senator McLean, whose term of of- fice is expiring. Mrs. Willlam Me- | Kinley Osborne, a first cousin of the late President McKinley, and her daughter were introduced. After complimenting the Hart- ford management of the banquet, Gov. Trumbull referred to the fact that he had cast his first presiden- tial vote for McKinley. He declared that McKinley's policies were just as soundly applicable to conditions in the United States today as they were when he sat in the White House. Progress in the United States has been made possible by & high protective tariff, he added, and New England is dependent for its very existence on continuing in force this great economic principle. Bacause other sections of the coun- try, including the south, are be- coming industrialized, inhabitants in those sections are beginning to appreciate the wisdom of a high tariff, he said. Trumbull Raps Assembly Getting down to aifairs in Con- necticut, Gov. Trumbull eriticized the business mcthods of the general assembly. He referred to his train- ing in industry, a training which gave him a do-it-now viewpoint, and safd that the Connecticut legisiature wastes a great deal of time getting into action. “I want to see a legislative session start off with a bang,” he declared. “I hope some means can be found to speed up work.” He made ref- erence to the large number of bills presented to the present assembly and expressed the hope that most sembly would not conclude its ia- bors until May 1. Bpeaking of conditions through- out the United States, he said “thbre is nothing the matter with New Eng- land” which is keeping pace with the rest of the country in develop- ment and prosperity. National Committeeman Roraback | spoke briefly on the financial policy | of Connecticut and concluded with the prophecy that, two years hence, if the state books continue to show | improvement as they have done un- {der Gov. Trumbull, the candidate for governor of the opposition will rise| and ask that the reelection of the present admi.istration be made unanimous, Opening his ‘remarks, Congress- man Begg said that on his last visit to Connecticut he was the guest at the gathering held at Lake Com-| pounce. He referred to an annual | outing of the Third War Republi- can club of New Britain. Party Must Remain Alert Representative Begg sald, in part, as follows. “After the results of the election last fall it might seem like the bull| gloating over the little fellow for | us to meet in celebration and reckon | the achievements of the republican party. I have no such feeling of security. In' other words, it is my| opinion that the republicans of this, country must be constantly alert that the enemy does not get in its insidious work while we are resting| on our laurels after a'great victory. | Such a time as that is often the! | easiest opportunity to turn victory linto defeat. Because of the tre-| mendous majority received by Presi- dent-elect Hoover and the republi- can party at the last election our| responsibilities as republicans are increased and magnified. The coun- | try will naturally be expecting more | of us and the democrats will be | eternally alert to embarrass us. “The best evidence of that is what ' happened in the senate just a few | days ago when Senator Harris from Georgia, seeking to rehabilitate the democratic party in (hat state, add- | ed $24,000,000 to the prohibition tund. I regret to say that strategic move on the part of the democrats | in the senate was acquiesced in by | enough republicans to permit it to pass that body and go to the house; and I am just as proud to say to| you republicans of Connecticut that | the house rebuked the senate by a majority of 99. Such wise action| on the part of the house is a trib- | ute to the leadership of your distin- | guished citizen, John Q. Tilson, and | to the wisdom and integrity of such | |stalwart republicans as E. Hart, venn, Richard P. Freeman, Schuy- | ler Merritt and James P. Glynn| whom you sent to the lower house. Calls Is Clever Trick “One must consider it was a clev- er trick to lay in the lap of Presi-| dent Hoover $24,000,000 with in- structions to do as he pleased with it in the enforcement of prohibition. If he spent that money in an hon- | est effort the democrats would ery waste and extravagance. If he did not spend It they would cry that| the republicans were not making an | honest effort to enforce the law. Tn either contingency they had an ex-| cellent excuse for criticism. This, | too, mind you, was in violation of every law governing expenditures in | the federal government. I refer to | those controls exercised by the bu- reau of budget. That they were not | able to succeed in their efforts was ! due solely to the conservatism and the courage of the lower house, | “The achievementa of the republi- | can party are so well known and | outstanding during the past two ad- ministrations that it seems to me like a waste of time to recount them. One cannot, however, refrain from pointing with pride to the fact that the national debt has been reduced {at the rate of a billion dollars a year | for the past elght years, while at the same time federal taxes have been reduced in round numbers about two billions ot dollars annual- ly. 8o no longer is the federal tax | burden any great deterrent to busi- | ness, Says Party Brings Prosperity “During this period of time we| have seen business move from a state of idleness and stagnation to 1 condition where there is the great- | est amount of activity in the history of the United States in almost every line. Those lines not enjoying pros- perity today are undoubtedly suffer- |ing from lack of proper protection and they will probably spring into | activity as soon as the special ses- sion has progressed far enough to give concrete evidence of its ability | | to revise and enact a new tariff law giving this ry protection. New England will no doubt be & | | great beneficiary under the new tar- | |iff Jaw as 1 can conceive of nothing | which would help your textile und‘ | | | 'HowBestToUse Vicks Vapo Rub | | | Begin This Simple Externzl | Treatment at First Sign of | Any Cough or Cold. of them would go into the waste- | lasket. b at Judiclary Committee test delay has been experienc- «d in the past beca ppropr a ate budget , he believed the business of ppropriations and finance com- mittees would be exp ed and it remains for the judiciary committee to catch up.” “When 1 have work to do T overtime,"” remarked significantly, adding that he suggested that the judiciary com- mittee consider the thought.

Just what does this standard mean when he calls it & compgtitive tariff? No one knows but him. To me it means a tariff low enough to permit foreign nations with their cheap labor to compete in the markets of America wnere we have | much ; higher than the standards in other| a high standard of living, countries. Such comparison of the ifference in the standards of living forces one to the conclusion that a' competitive tariff means that the standard of living of our laboring men must be brought down on a par with that of laboring men In | other competing nations.

Big Tumor Taken | From Infant’s Head Worcester, Mass., Feb. § P — A rare surgical operation on & child two days old was successfully per- formed here recently when a menin- gocele, or tumor, larger than the infant's head was removed by Dr. Benjamin H. Alton. At present the child 18 resting comfortably in a lo- cal hospital two weeks after the operation. According to medical asuthorities here, the operation is unusual be- cause of the sise of the meningo- cele, its position on the baby’s head and the fact that an anaesthetis was administered. In order to per- form the operation it was neceasary to transport the infant from & near- by town to the local hoapital short. ly after the child's birth. —— Sclence is now experimenting te produce milk in powdered form to simplify the problem and save costs toris, Tamaulipas, to the capital, to stay the execution untll he had time The president answered by grant- ing of a 2¢-hour stay and requested that the petition for clemency be wired to him. He received it lsit evening gt Tampico and telegraphed back denying further reprieve. The petition for clemency had asked that he set an international precedent against capital punish- ment by commuting the sentence to life imprisonment in what some wpuld regard as an extreme case. Mental {irresponsibility of Toral at the time of his crime was alleged. In replying, the president said 4ny further extension of clemency would be interference with the work of the courts which had rightly found Toral guilty and upheld his conviction and the death sentence. Dr. Jose Manuel Puig-Casaurano, governor of the federal district, an- nounced that the execution would take place within 24 hours after he received the record of the case from the trial judge. .
