‘HARTFORD, July 15—“1 am a prob-

candidate for the nomination for
governor on the Democratic ticket,”
announced Professor Willard C.
Fisher, of Middlemwn, in beginning a
twenty-minute speech to the men at
Colt’s factory yesterday noon. After
which Professor Fisher proceeded to
emphasize the point that his political
fortunes must rest with the rank and
tile.
He said in part: “This state ought
to adopt rigid business methods of
public finances. The financial condi-
tions of the state are bad. As late ‘as
1907 the state had no net debt, but a
cash surplus of more than a quarter

Ilect the personal tax costs more than
lout. This is not right; and it can be
changed without impairing the public
services. The checking of over-lavish
outla3 in some of the departments
and the correction of spme obvious
injustices in taxation would restore
the proper balance of the funds.
“I believe in public control of poli-
tics. We have to have leaders but
not bosses and l stand'for direct pri- '
maries and nominations by petition."
