PORTER ‘When the Chamber of Commerce annual banquet opens Wednesday evening, it will have on its commit- tee a man who has not missed a year as a member of the banquet committee, not only as long as the present Chamber is in existence, but whose unbroken record goes farther back than the history of the Cham- be Tugene J. Porter has been a member of the annual banquet com- mittee of the Chamber of Commerco and its predecessor, the Board of Trade, so far as he can remember every year for 35 years. He offi- ciated at banquets in Hanna's armory, which gave way to a Lan- ders, Frary and Clark factory site. He served on businessmen’s ban- quet committees when the late John ‘Walsh was a caterer, DEMOCRATS BEGIN SHOP GATE DRIV (Continued From First Page) wards prohibition and decried their ure to provide adequate hospi tals for tuberculosis sufferers. He and former Senator E. I. Hall went to Trnest W. Rogers, republican gubernatorial nominee, when he was state treasurer. and attempted to obtain state aid even to the extent of one-half the cest of maintaining @ sanatorium in New Britain, but the answer was “We have no money.” “That was a good excuse, but sovernor Trumbull and his party were able to find $10,000 to pay their expenses to Washington t> attend the Hoover reception,” Paonessa declared. Panic Or Depression There is no need for the business depression, he said, and facetiously observed that when there is a panic in democratic times it is a panic but when it happens under republican | rule it iz a ‘“depression.” There is sufficient wealth in the United States to render impossible sugh conditions as are confronting the people and particularly affecting the working class. In the last campaign, he recalled, the republicans had speakers around at the factory gates telling about the full dinner pail and the prosperity of the country under republican regime, but they are not around this year because they know they have not kept their promises The principal cek reelection | reacon he did not; as mayor in the spring was that he did not have “the heart” to sit by unable to doj something for the poor people of the cit Paonessa said. -+ Mayor Quigley, speaking at the Third Ward republican club outing several weeks g0, confined his remarks to a plea that the government of Connecticut act to relieve the suffering of tuber- culosis victims who are unable to !nmum proper carc in time to save | their lives and since then there has | heen such insistent demand that a {tion be taken the republican speak- | {ers have swerved from their defense | jof the as-you-go” policy and | are promising 1o view conditions from a humanitarian standpoint. Paonessa Rans Scymour | The worst feature of prohibition, Paonessa said, was that it has | taught young boys and girls to drink I hard liquor. He hated to see such | conditions, not to mention the “grafters” who have become rich | through the liquor/traffic. Col. Sey- mour, who is running for congre | has promised to find out what is| the best thing to do aboat it, while | he democratic party and its candi- | lates have come out definitely and | said that they will do all in their power to have the 15th amendment repealed. The report of the commit- appointed by President Hoover | to investigate the situation as it re- |1ates to prohibition will not be leased until after election, Paone: said, becauze in all probability its| contents would help the democratic party. Atiother important mea:ure for which the democratic party will work, Paonessa said, is the changing |o7 the law which requires taxpay {ers to meet an interest charge of 12 [per cent on unpaid taxes after th | first year. He tried to have | chanzed when he was mayor and it should be changed for the benefit| the taxpaying public. Sablotsky Explains Size of Crowd | Councilman Sablotsky, who open- | {e¢ the rally, remarked that the crowd was the smallest he had ever | addressed at a factory gate since he started campaigning several years ago, and the reason was that the en who formerly worked in the {ndustrial plants are now walking | the streets of the city. The publlz | o1 November 4 will have an oppor- | | tunity to vote for candidates on the | democratic ticket who stand for the | | repeal of the prohibition laws ani enactment of the old age penslon | bill, he said, and as he presentel | Attorney Hagearty he assurred his |audience that if the vote ce flt to send him to the senate they wil b» ssured that he will fight for the| nterests of the people of the state just as he has always fought in it | | ccurt for the welfare of his clients. Willing to Answer Questions At the Corbin Screw factory rally Thomas J. Smith, chairman of the democratic town committee, told his listeners it was about time the peo- ple of the country did a little think- ing for themselves and voted as their consclences dictated. He sala that the democratic candidates were ready and willing to answer all questions put to them, proving that they were honest and ready to look out for the welfare of the people. He also discussed at length the workmen's compensation law and thé abolition of the ‘personal tax bill. He stated that he did not be- leve that the personul tax law was falr to married men, who have to pay $4 a year while single men pay only $2. The speaker also spoke on the qualifications of Judge Willlam F. Mangan, candidate for probate judge, telling of his work in this city for the benefits of the peopie without recelving any compensation. He concluded by stating that Judge Mangan would treat any child that appeared before the probate court just the same as he would expect his own children to be treated. Googel on Campaign Issues Samuel Gpogel, candidate for rep~ resentative, opened by stating that he would not taRe time to explain the ocratic: platform as it dia not need any explanation. He safd that the issues of thec party were the mepeal of the 18th amendment, the establishment of an old age pen- ston bill, a reduction of the penalty for unpaid taxes and humanitarian measures. He termed the recent action of Governor Trumbull in appointing a committee of two democrats and one republican to investigate the alleged inhuman treatment at the state pris- on as a pure political blindfold. He stated that the governor knew per- fectly well that the investigation will not be over until after election and therefore any disclosures will not af- fect the republican candidates as they will already be elected or de- feated. Mr. Googel spoke of Lieu- tenant Governor Ernest E. Rogers, republican gubernatorial candidate, as a man who was both, wet and dry, salyng that he was avoiding & direct stand on the important issue. Daniel Greer discussed the pro- posed old age pension bill which he termed as the only remedy for con- ditions under modern civilization and the machine age. Mr. Greer said that at present men of 45 years of age, after a life of honest and hard work, were being discarded and are unable to receive insurance. They were no better off than com- mon lawbreakers and had only the poor house to look forward to. G. O. P. “Drunk With Power” He said the republican party was “drunk with power” and thought or nothing but money and machine. He accused them of showing absolutely no interest in the old age pension bill. Angelo M. Paonessa, candidate for sheriff, and Samuel Googel, candi- date for representative and Daniel Greer will speak at the Stanley Works gate tomorrow noon. Thomas J. Smith, Samuel Sablotsky and At- torney Willlam . Hagaerty will speak the New Britain Machine gate at the same time. “The rallies will open at 12:40 o'clock.
