DANBL‘RY. March to what he termed “democratic news- paper propaganda" to the effect that the republican state organization was “trying to boss him." Governor Charles A. Templeton declared here last night in a public address that his only criticism of Chairman J. Henry Iloraback'of the republican state cen- tral committee was that "he doscn't boss enough." Nearly 500 diners at. a. banquet of the republican city organization to stimulate interest in the municipal election of next Monday. rose from their seats and cheered enthusiasti- cally.

The governor pointed out that it was the republican party which was elected to office by the people of the state last November. The candi- date on the ticket were. representa— tives of the republican party. It was therefore the party's resonslbllity to give the state a. good administration. The head of the party was Mr. Rora- back. “a. splendid gentleman and leader." “As governor of the state of Con- necticut. I reserve the right to Seek! the benefit of the. advice and judg- ment of the chairman of the party which was entrusted with the gm crn- merit of the state at the election.’ dc- clarcd the cxentive with emphasis. He said. there had been newspaper l rpm-ta that he was a party boss and a. detriment to the state. To these. the governor replied that the state was fortunate in having Mr. Roraback as chairman of the dominant party..lic stands first for good government. and. as this is a. government of political parties. his way to work for it was through the republican party." The executed asserted that in the period of nearly three months that he has occupied the executive office. Chair- man lloraback has not made. a single attempt. to “dictate" to him but that he had consulted Mr. Iloraback fre- qucntly. (.‘ood (imeulmcnt His Aim To the rank and file of the republi- can partv. in llanbury and elsewhere in the state, the. governor sounded a. warning to beware of democratic attempts to break up the unanimity of purpose of the state administration. lie said his sole ambition in going to Hartford was to give the state the best administration that it was in his power to give. and it was nec- essary to have good team work throughout to accomplish that re- sult.

The program ’f the evening was most informal, ammon- cing with the singing of old familiar songs by the singers about the piano. and including games of skill and ac- tion.

PAINTERS AND BOSSES FAIL .. IN AGREEMENT Failure to come to any agreement marked the meeting of the boss paint- ers and the journeymcn painters held last evening. after painters had refused to accede to the boss painters‘ request for a thirty-day exte'nslon of time before the $1.10 a. day raise in wages went into effect. The painters some time ago voted for an increase from $6.40 to $7.50. the raise to become effective on Mon~ day. April 2. 'Thc boss painters de- bated the matter and finally asked if the proposed raise could not go over until May 2. a matter of a month. in- timating that they were willing to let the raise go into effect at that time. The meeting last evening refused to allow the extension of time. and a committee met with the bosspainters' committee to discuss the matter. but as has been stated no agreement was reached. It is very likely that .a special. meet- ing will be called shortly to‘ go into the matter at greater length. It. is said that if theiboss painters are not wil- ling to grant the liner on April 2. unless this date is changed at a special meeting. that the painters will go out . on strike.

URUGUARY NOT TO PUSH SCHEME SANTIAGO. March :3.—“’lth the arrixal of the I‘ruguayian delegation. it became generally known that Uru- guay is not disposed to press upon the Pan American Conference her scheme for a league of American Nations. It is reported that the sentiment of a. majority of the delegations. includ- ing that of the l'nlted States. is op- posed to considering the plan at this conference. This vieW‘is said to have been informally communicated to l‘ruguay. There seems to be general agree- ment that the proposal co ld not be discussed without consid ring the Monroe. Doctrine and it is pointed out that its adoption would virtually mean that the protection afforded by the Monroe Doctrine would be ex- panded into a. mutual agreement among all American nations for de- against possible European agreeslon.

March 23.——l'ncondition- a] evacuation of the lluhr “as de— signated by Chancellor Cuuo. last night. as the i‘oundnment prmeSI‘l from which any dichssiOii to end the present conflict must proceed. In a long speech the chancellor reiterated the government's position. asserting "that it had not authorized mediation by any third party. but that on the other hand it had received numerous "feelers" from unauthoriz- ed quarters. He asserted that these proposals constituted "a violation or German honor of common sense." Referring to the recent Brussels con- ference between Premiers Poincare sud Theunis. Herr Guns expressed the opinion that these conversations sug- gested no progre— toward a solution of the Ruhr question. The official communique issued after the confer- ence. failed. in the chancellor's opin— lon. to dissipate the suspicion that France had not abandoned her aspi- ration to annex territory. More recent readings of the Brus- sels discussions, llcrr Cuno asserted, have impressed German officials with the thought that they aimed at a com- pleio overthrow of the Versailles treaty. The German people. he said. would stoutly oppose the suggrsllon of a buffer state fronting the Rhino. The chancellor declared that the world by this time had probably awakened to‘a realization that it is a dlsarmed and impotent Gcrmanv which re- quires security ‘ther than France. which now command the world's greatest land forces and the most powerful air flmt.
