B T S Cross Suggests Means of Acting - On Repeal In Letter to Rogers; Opens His Debate Through Press, Democrat Points Out Con- stitutional Convention Could Deal With Prohibi- tion Problem—Advocates Care of Tubercular and Good Rural Roads. New Haven, Oct. 16—Presenting as his solution of the prohibition problem, immediate action to bring about a constitutional convention of the states, Dean Wilbur L. Cross democratic candidate for governor last night started his debate througn the newspapers with his republican opponent Lieutenant Governor Ern- est E. Rogers. Dr. Cross said he was amazed thaw a candidate for gcvernor of Connecticut had failed to sufficiently study the federal con- stitution to know that there is more than one way of amending that censtitution. Dean Cross in his communication discussed the prohibition problem, the care of the tubercular and rural roads improvement His letter to the republican can- | didate follows: = “Lieutenant Governor Ernest I - Rogers, ¥ '“State Capitol, “. “Hartford, Connecticut . “My dear Mr. Rogers: “I received today your letter of feply to my offer to debate the more important issues of the cam- paign in any Connecticut hall and under conditions agreeable to the Zepublican state organization. I am wiost regretful that you are unwill- ing to accept my challenge so that the voters of Connecticut might hear our first hand ideas of the vital auestions to be settled in the forth- toming election. “As you have seen fit to let this opportunity pass I must presume that you prefer this discussion to be ¢arried on through the public press It is acting on this agsumption that I now reply to three 'of your argu- ments and will discuss the remain- der tomorrow. Cites Federal Constitution . “I am amazed that you have ap- parently followed the example of Xepublican governors of the past in eiling to read either the federal or e tate constitutions. T had alway: sssumed that one of the first duties ©f a governor was to read and study both of these constitutions and to be thoroughly familiar with their contents. Had our former republi- can governors read the state consti- tution they would not have found it neecssary to spend the public money to call a special session of the legis- lature to validate statutes. ,Had you read the federal constitufion you might have discovered that there is more than one way to handle the quegtion of the repeal of the 18th amendment. I am amazed and somewhat startled to discover that a man who aspires to the office of chief executive of Connecticut does not know that there is more than one way to amending the federal constitution. “To save you from too much labor I will tell you now that this second method may be found in ‘Article Five of the federal consti- tution, which you will find on page 34 of the State Register and Manual o1 1930. Constitutional Convention “Perusal of this article will reveal to you that the repcal of the so- called prohibition amendment need not originate in congress, that pro- hibition s ot entirely a federal problem needing federal solution. The demand for repeal of the 1Sth | amendment may originate at a con- | stitutional convention requested by two-thirds of the state legislature and adopted by three-fourths of the states. I do not presume o know if 32 states will authorize such a con- | stitutional convention, but if I am elected governor I will do my best 1> start a movement for such a con- venion. This is my solution of the prohibition evil. This is why T in- sist that the republican prohibition plank with its policy of inactio 5 a vicious straddle of an important issue. “I will next discuss the question o? care of the tubercular. You ex- préss entire satisfaction with the manner in which Connecticut is dealing with this problem and re- peat the words of your publicity bureau that Connecticut fs first among all the states in per capita | expenditures for this work. Again | |1 ask, what of that? Do you think | that enough is being done when il is an acknowledged fact that hun- | dreds of victims of this dread dis- case are waiting admittance to state sanatoriums and that many cases which would have been cured with carly treatment have become fatal before such treatment were avail- able? Money and credit possessed by the state or individual means' nothing if that state or individual does not take care of its own. If I were governor I would not be content until there was a bed in | state sanatoriums for every tuber- cular victim. “Discussing rural roads you write that the state is spending millions for state aid roads. Let me ask you ht now for a plain statement of do you believe that the rural roads as they e Connecticut rural roads improve- ment association agrees with me, If | conditions are as favorable as you declare it is unfortunate that the members of the association are | spending money to prepare a legis- lative program and demand the ex- | penditure of $50,000,000 on rural roads during the next 10 years. | “Tomorrow I will discuss with vou the old a pension and thcv business depression, two subjects of | | absorbing importance to the voters | | of Connecticut. “Very sincerely yours, WILBUR L.
