‘ .3. I wonder how many of us appre-
M our good fortune in living in
. greet Democracy. We should
tnlate ourselves on being a part
i this government of the people. by
tthe people. and for the people. The
ldinited States of America is not the
fvictim of strife and violence. as are
gill. countries of Europe. The at-
tempts of radicals to imprint their
.dintches on this country have proved
fruitless. Why 1 The answer is sim-
ple. Our sound Constitution does not
flow it and that settles the question.
on. Constitution of the United States
bthe greatest foundation of the great-
“ home conceivable. I shall en-
deavor to show what a great part
Connecticut had in its formation.
. Let us go back. in history. to the
end of the Revolutionary War. At
that time. we find. the states were
being run by the Articles of Confed-
eration. which were enacted by the
Continental Congrou in 1777 and
adopted the following year. The Ar-
.ticles of Confederation were very
loosely written and provided for the
government of the states in a collec-
tive way which resulted in little more
than suggestions. with no method pro-
vided for a judiciary. for taxation. or
for the management of commerce.
History further tells us that a con-
vention was celled on May 14. 1731.
for the purpose of correcting the de-
fects that existed in the poor Articles
of Confederation. When the dele-
gates assembled in Independence Hall.
Philadelphia. they chose George
Washington president of the conven-
tion. The doors were locked and an
injunction of strict secrecy was put
upon everyone. The results of their
work were known in the following
September. when the draft of the
Federal Constitution was published.
But Just what was said and done in
this secret conclave was not revealed.
until fifty years had passed. and the
aged James Madison. the last survivor
of those who sat there. had been
gathered to his fathers. He kept a
journal of the proceedings. which
0 journal was jublished after his death.
We shall now enter upon Connecti-
cut’s part in the constitution as told
in that Journal.
For several reasons, the part was
of necessity great. and the fine influ~
once far reaching. The state had al-
ways been democratic in its views: it
had no axe to grind in the convention.
and it opposed no particular form of
government. This libqrel attitude
five .its delegates a freedom which
won for them respect and attention.
Thus equipped. we shall look to see
who were selected as delegates from
Conncticut.
There was first Roger Sherman of
flow Haven. He was one of eight
children. and as a boy worked as e
.bootmeker. He educated himself.
studied law. and was admitted to the
bar. From that time on. he held
many positions. He was mayor of
New Haven. elected to the general as-
sembly. upper house. and finally su-
.prome court. He was one of the thir-
teen men who signed the four funda.
mental documents of the newly or-
flnifld Uhited States. At the time
Of the convention. Sherman was in his
sixties.
The second member of this delega-
tion from Connecticut was Dr. William
Johnson. of Stratford. lie was a
scholar. a graduate of Yale, and the
em senator from Connecticut. He
was a likable man. He was one who
spoke with wisdom. and was listened
to. Dr. Johnson was also president of
Columbia University.
The last and youngest member of
this delegation was Oliver Ellsworth.
n student at Yale and Princeton. He
studied law and commenced a bril-
Isst career in the service of this state
all country. He made. while in col-
lege. many friendships which later
stood the country in good stead. Ells-
-' worth has the honor of being the only
Connecticut man to hold the office of
.Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
And now. let us consider the work
of the convention. After much pres
iiminary discussion. the convention
’found before it two distinct and diffi-
cult plans for consideration. one
known as the Virginia Plan. and the
other the New Jersey Plan.
The Virginia Plan. presented by
Edmund Randolph. was a radical
‘ euro. According to this plan. the na-
tional Legislature was to be composed
of two houses. into the legislatures of
several states. The members of
lower house should be chosen by
people: members of the upper
W. or Senate. should be elected by
“slower house out of persons nomi-
nshd by the state legislatures. Un-
der the proposed constitution. each
mate was to have a number of rep-
proportionate either. ti; 13.:

Georgia. the smallest state. had but

Now let us consider the New Jersey
Plan. In the name of the smaller
states. William Paterson laid before
the convention this so-called plan for
the amendment of the Articles of
Confederation. This'scheme admitted
a federal legislature. consisting of a
single house. an executive in the form
of a council to be chosen by Congress.
and likewise a federal judiciary. ,Al-
though it gave Congress much liber—
ality. the New Jersey Plan was vicious
at the bottom. It did not really give
Congress the power to act immediate-
ly'upon individuals. There was no
security that the powers granted to
Congress could ever be really excr—
cised.
Following the presentation of these
two plans. the convention became a
roaring volcano. Many stormy de—
bates ensued. The situation had be-
come dangerous and when things were
looking darkest. Oliver Ellsworth and
Roger Sherman suggested a com-
promise. The famous Connecticut
compromise led the way to the ar-
rangement which was ultimately
adopted. according to which the na-
tional principle was to prevail in the
House of Representatives and the
federal principle in the Senate. When
the question as to allowing equality
of suffrage to the states in the Fed—
eral Senate was put to a vote. the re-
sult was a tie. The vote of Georgia
was divided and lost. It was Abra-
ham Baldwin. a native of Connecticut
and lately a tutor in Yale College. a
recent emigrant to Georgia. who thus
divided the vote of that state, and
prevented a decision which would in
all probability, have broken up the
convention. All honor to his mem-
ory l
The moral effect of the tie vote was
in favor of the compromise. The mat-
ter was referred to a committee as
impartially constituted as possible.
In that committee. there was one from
each state: Ellsworth from Connecti-
cut. It was here that the college
friendships of Ellsworth had their ef-
fect; for. after a recess of three days.
the committee reported in favor of
the Connecticut Compromise.
But this is not all that Connecticut
gave to the Constitution. The judi-
ciary, as written in the Constitution.
is composed of the exact words of Dr.
Johnson. one of the Connecticut dele-
gates. The next act of importance
that Connecticut ddi for the Constitu-
tion was its ratification. On January
0. 1738. after a session of only five
days, Connecticut ratified the Consti-
tution by a vote of 128 to 40. Inci-
dentallyrthe vote of Fairfield County
was unanimous.
Thus. we an easily see that Con-
necticut deserves great credit for her
share in bringing about of harmony.
Citisons of Connecticut should be
proud -of their state. In the United
States Ieneto in 1347. John Calhoun

Saturday.

noon of this week at 3:“ o’clock was
made this morning of the case of Ed-
ward Beers. charged with assault on
Joseph Kadibld. of Fort Point street.
early Sunday morning at Flynn's East
Side Hotel. The case came before
Judge George H. Vosburgh in the
downtown court this morning and
some testimony was introduced. The
continuance was made because of the
fact that all of the testimony was not
clear. and because of the illness of
Judge Vosburgh.
Testimony was given this morning
by Alfred Buckley. who said that he
was in Flynn's with another young
man. when Kadibid came over to
where they were standing and started
to annoy them by talking to them.
They told him to "be on his way."
and he resented it. Another man.
known as “Mike" came running up
and grabbed a cup as if to throw it
at. him. Buckley pushed him away
and then Kadibib "made a pass" at
him which just grazed his face. Beers
interfered in an eflort to settle the
argument. and then. Buckley said.
he saw Kadibid make a pass at Beers.
but did not see any blows struck.
'tl‘his was all that he knew of the mat-
er.
Frederick Weed. who was in the
place at the night of the fight. said
that he saw Kadlbld strike Beers. and
then saw the tvt'o "mix it up" and
"swinging at each other." 'Weed
said that both men "went to the
door" but he was alone in his testi-
mony on this point. ,
thith Beers and Kadlbld took the
s an and both said th
struck first. at the other
Beers was represented by Attorn
Paul R. Conneery. There may lei:
some additional testimony introduced
when the case comes up again on
Saturday afternoon. when Judge Voc-
burgh is expected to give his decision.
