TILSON ADDRESSES Hartford, June 25.—Congressman John Q. Tilson's address as temp- orary chairman of the republican state convention, in -session here, in part follows: We are assembled under conditions such as never before confronted a par- ty convention in this commonwealth. We have heard and read much of Ar- mageddon, which heretofore -has been used as_a striking figsure of speech. Armageddon is now here in reality, with far the greater part of mankind cctually lined up on one side or the other, and all the remainder deeply involved indirectly in the struggle. Our own country with its enormous wealth of man power and financial re- sources has pledged itself even to the very last man and the last dollar nec- essary to win by force of arms an honorable and a lasting peace. We have done this advisedly, solemnly committing ourselvés to the doing of a task from which we, can not and will not turn away until it is finished. Already our choicest young men in considerable and rapidly increasing numbers have joined and are joining our brave allies on the iwestern front in France. Already their blood has mingled with that of -their French and British comrades on the plains of Picardy and on the hills along the Marne. the Meuse, and the Moselle. On this side of the water more than million other voung men are in aining for the serious business ahead them, while other millions await it with grim determination their turn to come to the colors when called. Meanwhile in order to make effec- tive the hands of those who are to fizht our battles sums of money stag- ng to the imagination are being pended. Taxes that hitherto would iave been unthinkable are being laid pon the people and being cheerfully id by them, while burdens of in- edgess are heing piled up which 1l prove grievous to be borne even it hildren. In view of such conditions there can sa but one thouzht uppermost in the minds of all patriotic Americans, and that is the war. It is the one all- sorbing subject of consideration mong thoughtful men, because it is the one overwhelming event now transpiring in the world. All other sovernmental matters .seem paltry when compared to it and fade into insignificance beside it. It is, T am sure, with feelings .in- ed by a realization of this great world crisis that you meet here to- night as the chosen representativ of a great political party and will meet tomorrow to perform your du- ties as such representatives If T were asked to state in one sen- tence a rule of conduct for every man chjldren and our children’s woman and child in the republic T should say: “Help in every possible way. to win the war in the shortest possible time” What is true of in- dividvals in this regard must be pre- eminently true of political parties which seek power from -its source— the people—to control the affairs of state an dnation. : " . . . It has been sugzested from high of- ficial sources that during the contin- nance of the war “politics be adjourn- ed.” 1If by proposition it is meant that. in the conduet of the war, noth- ing that is even tinged with partisan politice shall be permitted to interfere with efficiency, then we all concur. If. on the other hand it means that dur- ing the war one party must cease its activities as a party while the other uses all the departments of the government, and the war itself, to ad- ance party interests, then I for one must vehementiy dissent. . One-sided partisan politics and all other politics that m: ing on ‘il it's all over, over The war is not a politi impede the effective carry- there.” ! war, and this statement should apply with equal force to both political parties. You may search the provost marshal gen- eral's questionnaire in vain for any reference to the politics of the regis- trant. The local exemption boards is suhject when f the war must be adjourned ! STATE REPUBLICANS | ' Emphasizes the Fact That No Party Has a Monopoly On Patriotism—Declares For the Republicans in Connecticut | the Question Is as to the Party and the Candidates Who Will Best Serve the Supreme Purpose, and the One Great Purpose of All Political Parties Is to Win the War. — iservants, from the president down, as summoned to the colors. The repub- iican boy and the democratic boy march away side by side, and with them political partisanship is adjourn- ed in reality until they return. In like manner should men of both par- ties who remain behind fall in line and work together in all matters touch- ing the war, * . * . . " . After all, the great responsibility of carrying on the war is upon the shoul- ders of the president. Under the Con- stitution he is the commander in chief of the army and navy. His Is the task of transmuting man power and money- into effective blows. All men of all parties must and will support him in this. The republican party has never failed in such a duty and will not-now or in the future. There have been many places since the war began when it would have' been an easy matter to play partisan politics on .the republican side. 1t would net have been patriotic to do so, however. and it has not been done. In other countries where the gov- ernment is resporsive to the will of the people, in a great emergency of this kind, the entire control of the government is not intrusted to a_sin- gle political party placed in power upon prewar issues, but men of differ- ent parties make up the government, provided not only that they are in ac- cord as to the war. Even under our Constitution in the Civil war Mr, Lin- coln utilized in cabinet positions the great talents of political opponents to Lelp win the war. At the present time it is different. The president, in addition to his other duties, is the head and leader of his party. and as such frequently speaks and acts. He has placed at the head of all the executive departments men of his own party, chosen for party reasons. These men. under the di- rection of the president. are charged | with the duty of executing the laws; and_ securing resuits from -the . ex- penditure of public revenues. It is human to err. 'Men make \o- takes if they accomplish anything. It is' necessary for the president to act through human agencies. Weak or unfit appointments have heen made in many instances, while in others. in my judgment the best ase has not been made of the material at hand. Instance the case of Gen. Leonard ‘Wood. . . o wig e i e Much has ‘heen accompiished in the way of making America the deciding factor in the war, znd due credit should be given to all faithful public * well ag to all patriotic private citi- zens, who have done their share. In this great accomplishment republicans can justly claim a worthy part. That they have not done more is due rather to lack of oppoptunitv than to lack of | zeal capacity, or willingness. There ramains much more to be done befors peace will come thraugh ccmplete victory. Who can do it Dest? Both of the great political nar- ties are thoroughly loyal in this great crisi No party has a monopoly -of patriotism or a proprietary right to| the flag. The untiring devotion of a| party to the task of winning the war without regard to partisan advantag is the best proof of 1ty that can give. He loves the flag most who serves his country best in whatever place he may be. 1 As T said at the outset T now say | in closing, -that the one great busi- ness of all nolitical parties, as well as of all individuals, shouid be to win the war speedily. In this state the ques- tion will be which partv and which | candidates will hest serve this, su- preme ‘purpose. Judging the future in the light of the past. whether we zo hack over 30 years or go back only one vear, there can be no anestion as | to the answer. Proud of the record of the past, frm and steadfast in owr | devotion to the service of the pr wi lo hour. we as republicans can look ward with serene nfidence to the| day of greater and wider opportunities | for serving the state and nation. A good citizen is-known by the food he eats. i belief and 's. EMPLOYMENT SERVICE © WILL AID gemenAu‘ra ; In Carrying Out Provisions of the “Work or Fight” Order. Draft registrants in deferred classes who must enter productive employ- ment will' find the United States. em- ployment service in Connecticut ready to assist them. The 44 local draft boards in the state have been notified that the' government agency s equipped .to co-operate promptly in carrying out the work or fight regu- lations issued by the provost marshal general's office. The plan has the en- dorsement of the Connecticut state council of defense. . -t Leo A. Korper, federal director for Connecticut of the United ‘States em- ployment service, has. sent with each letter to the local draft boards a batch of application cards to be given regis- trants who desire Yproductive enfploy- ment and have not obtained it. The name, address, age and present em- ployment of the registrant is to bé af- fixed to the card and also the signa- ture of a board member if the board has rendered a decision that the reg- istrant must leave his present non- productive employment. The card di- rects the registrant to the nearest of- fice of the United States employment service. ‘When he appears at the government. employment ‘office, the registrant will show his card and be directed to som& essential industry calling for labor. A duplicate of the registrant’s card will be filed :at the employment office along with the regulation employment carq form. After he has entered the essential Industry, the registrant will return 'his card to the government employment office, where certification will ‘be_made thereon to show he is engaged. in useful labor, and the card returned to him. This card or certifi- cate he will retain in his possession with the same care as his military registration card, as it establishes the fact that he has conformed to the or- ders of the national government. As itvis not the function of draft boards to find employment for regis- trants in-deferred classifications, it is expected that registrants engaged in non-useful labor and so classed by their boards will .promptly avail’ them- selves 6f the services of the govern- ment employment agencies and facili- tate the movement of labor into the chanpels required by the national gov- ernment. Draft boards have been. requested to send to the state office of the U. S. emplovment service at Hartford a complete list of the registrants thev have ruled must transfer from non- useful to useful labor. This list will be used to check up the registrants as they apply and secure new employment in industries essentia] to the winn‘ng of the war. co-operating' with the local draft boards and registrants were explained at a recent meeting of state officials ang local superintendents of the U. S. employment service held in Hartford. The methods adopted for MAHAN CLAIMS HE . | IS OUT OF POLITICS Not Participating in the Game Now He Declares. “The papers are very much in the wrong when they represent me as having a hand in state polities,” said Postmaster Mahan to-a reporter this morning. “I am in th ‘nited States service under civil service rules and not participating in the game. The newspapers have given me credit for being behind the movement to nomi- nate ex-Senator Miner for lieutenant governor on the democratic ticket, ‘As a matter of fact I have not spoken to a delegate to the convention about the matter. As Mr. Miner, when run- ning for comptroller on his party tick- et two. years ago, was honored with ithe highest 'number of votes of any Iman on it, it is not to be wondered at that the party, in looking for a man to add strength to its state tick- et this vear, should hit wnon him.. Of course I hope in conjunction with many of his friends, that he will per- mit the usa of his name. “There is ‘another ‘matter upon which the lecal napers are mistaken. I am not a candidate for memhership on the democratic state central com- mittee. Twentv years ago I was a believer in civil service as .applied tn government employes. and when 1 as anpointed nostmaster by Presi- dent Cleveland, I refused to accept & renomination as a. member of the state committee. T am still of the same did not want a re-election when the honor was conferred upen Mr. Farrell. the nresent incumbent. Tf the members of the party now want to make a ehanze, that is their privi- leze. hut they must count me out of it."—New Londgn Day.

Allen has received the following ietter frem her son, Frank P. Allen, who left Norwich in the last quota of drafted men, and is now at Camp Greenleaf. Georgia: May 16, 1918. Dear Mother:— I though I would write and let you know how I am getting along. It is awful hot down here; the temperature is 145 in the sun and 99 in the shade. but it is a great country. This camp is one of the prettiest sights I have ever seen. We have two thousand German prisoners here. It is one great life.” We get fine training here and the eats are:fine, better, than 'they were at Camp Slocum. T wish you could see the country down here, it is the finest I have ever seen. We are! practicing on Red, Cross work ten hours a day and it is so hot here that: we have to work in a large tent with the fans going all the time. We take our shirts off, but even then you wouldn't know the fans were going. We haven't seensany rain or nay clouds in the sky since we got here.! This is the largest camp in the coun try for Red Cross work, and we are learning all that a doctor should know. Tell all my friends to write to me. The southern people are fine; they con’'t do enough for us. This all for today, From your son, FRANK P. ALLEN. Company 14, Battalion pl5, Cam Greenleaf, Morgan Park, Georgia.

Ring- land, Plain Hill, Norwich Town, en- listed in the naval reserve and left town Tuesday morning to begin ser- vice at the training station.

Miss :Edna Kendall of Lisbon has received a letter fréom her brother, somewhere at the front, in Co. F, 1024 U. 8. Int, A E. F.: Somewhere at the Fron May My Very Dear Little Sister:— ‘Hello, little sister. 1 have a few minutes this morning to spare so I am going to drep you a short letter. Last evening was a very noisy and interestinz one. There was a great deal of shooting done and some gas was sent over. I suppose you have read some very interesting things about the Ameri- ican soldiers in the papers. You know more than we do about it, because we are on a certain front and that is all we hear about what happens. T have received several letters from you and mother, and they are sure very interesting. You must have some fine times this summer and I am very glad you are, but would liké to be with vou and have some good times, too. If we kill a few Germans we consider that a good time in the trenches. Well, Edna, now, and God much love, Your loving brother. JOHNNIE K DALL. In another letter to his mother he writes: My Dear Mother:— Well. Ma, here is a letter at last, and | I should be ashamed not to write more often. We are having the nicest kind of weather, and it sure is'sunny France now. Now and then we have a thun- der storm. but they don’t last long. The country as a whole is very nice in the spring. To look over the “bosche” lines and think there is a war: it doesn't seem true, it is so quiet. but other times one would think all hell was loose. Many of the draft boys are getting on the lines, and there are many in our company. Has any of the boys at home bheen drafted yet? I have heen several times surp: d by seeing boys | whom I never knew were here. It| makes a boy feel sood to see some friends from home, Ma, and there are boys getting here every few days. Everybody is friends here, whether or not you know them. With much love to you all Your loving son, JOH IE KENDALL. 1918. dear, T must close for bless you all. With Soon to Go Over the Top. Corporal ‘Dominick Barher of the 119th Field artillery was expecting soon to goiover the top, he wrote in a letter to Walter Loring of 178 CIliff street, which was dated in France on Memorial day. His letter follows: Somewhere in France. May 30, 1918. Dear Walter:— T've just had the afternoom off, so I thought would let you know how I was getting alone. 1 went out riding®with my horse; just think of me with a horse of my own—a real cowboy. ¢ Re- member the old days when we thought we were cowboys? Gee! but I wish you were here with me over here. After my ride I ‘came in and found three letters on my bunk. That was certainly a surprise to me. A letter over here is worth a dollar sometimes, Fm taking this evening to answer the letters. It was good of you to write| me a nice long letter like the last ons | you wrote. I will never forget it, be- lieve me. 1 7 1 suppose you are at the old game, dancing every night and going to the big cities for the holiday and having a good time, while I away from home. ‘Well, anyway, don’t get played out and get sick of everything, so when I get back . we can have some good old times, I'm sorry I can't send you my pic- ture. - There isn't any place to take them around here, and no souvenirs to send, because you see I'm in a training camp and 50 miles from a big city. They talk of pretty girls over here, but 1 don't think so. I would give a million to have an American girl once more. The only thing you can get here is wine, and we pay-3 francs a_bottle or 40 cents in our money. 1 haven't seen any of the fellows you mentioned but when I go over the top I'll try te see them, as I'm expecting to go over the top-in a few days. Wish me luck. Say, I haven't heard from your brother yet. Tell him I'm wanting some answer to my letters, and give my regards to all my friends.
