The complete text of Senator La-
l'ollette's letter, dated Aug. 3. 192-1.
follows:
“Mr. Robert P. Scripps‘.
"New York City.
“Dear Mr. Scripps:
“Your letter of Aug. 1st received.
You ask where I stand on the K. K.
K. Similar inquiries have come to
me from others. I take the liberty
of making my answer to you public.
This will inform all those interested
in knowing my attitude on this ques-
tion.
“’ants to Break Monopoly.
“But first and before all else, I
am bound to say that in my view
the one dominant. all embracing is-
sue in this campaign, is to break
the combined power of the private
monopoly system over the political
and economic life of the American
people.
“This power controls every inde-
pendent branch of industry—min-
ing, manufacturing and transporta-
tion. It controls markets and cred-
its and dictates the price of every
product necessary to feed. clothe,
warm and shelter_the human tam-I
ily. To control that which SllS-i
tains life is to control life itself.
This is economic despotism.
"To this issue. so far as I am
able. I shall hold the attention of
the voters of this country. From
this position I shall not, In- turncd
aside.
Hence I deem it most unfortunate
that questions involving religious
opinion and other questions unrela-
ted to the vital issue of the restora-
tion of government to the people.
have been raised in this as in other
critical years of our national history.
Such controvories feed upon and in-
flame prejudice and passion to the
exclusion of issues involving the
very life of government itself.
“This brings me to say in res—I
ponse to your inquiry as to my
stand on the K. K. R. that 1 have
met this question in various forms
during my public life.
Against. Discrimination.
"Anyone familiar with my record.
especially in my own state. knows
that I have always stood without re-
eervation against any discrimina-
tion between races. classes and
crecds. I hold that every citiZen
is entitled to the full exercise of his
constitutional rights.
"I am unalterably opposed to the
evident purposes of the secret or-
ganization known as the K. K. K.
disclosed by its public acts.
"It cannot Inog survive.
"Relying upon the sound Judg-
ment and good sense of our people
it is my opinion that such a move-
ment is foredoomcd. It has with-
in its own body the seeds of its
death.
Lincoln's View
“Abraham Lincoln. nearly seven-
ty years ago. set forth his views on
this question in a letter to his,
friend, Mr. Joshua F. Speed, dated:
Springfield, Illinois. Aug 24, 1355:
“‘9 9 9 you inquire where I now
stand. That is a disputed point.
I think I am a. whig: but others
say there are no whigs, and that l
a. an abolitionist.
“I am not a know-nothing; that‘
is cretain. How could I be'.‘ How
can anyone who abhors the oppres-
sion of negroes be in favor Of de-
grading classes of white people?
Our progress in degeneracy appears
to me to be pretty rapid. As a na-
tion we began by declaring that all
men are created equal. M’e not
practically read all men are created
equal except negroes. \Vhen the
know-nothings get contrdf. it will
read all men are created equal ex-
cept negroes and foreigners and
catholics. Vi'he'n it comes to this.
I shall prefer emigrating to some
country where thye make no pre-
tense of loving liberty to Russia. for
instance. where depotism can be
taken pure. and without the base
alloy of hypocrasy.”
"Your friend forever,
"A LINCOLN."
What Jefferson Said
"With this statement from Abra-
ham Lincoln. I Would join also a
passage from a. letter written by
Thomas Jefferson to Edward Dowes
in 1803:
"I never. will. by word or act.
bow' to the shrine of nitollerance or
admit a right of inquiry into the
religious opinions of thers."
:‘Upon these statements of Jef-~
ferson and 'Llncoln. expressing the
sentiments which I am happy to
believe the vast majority of our
citizens cherish and t owhich they
will ever rigidly adhere. and upon
my own views. expressed in this let-
ter. I am content to stand~without
qualification or evasion. .
“Sincerely yours.

BRIDGEPORT, Aug. 8.—It is
whispered—merely whispered mind

because of the hot weather took a.
swim at Seaside Park, in one of
those _, easy-to-took-at bathing . suits.
had to walk home in that same suit
because her clothes in one of the
lockers were gone. She passed
several officers on her way home.
and those that were not too aston-
ished at the sight. learned from her
why she was parading the park in
such scanty garments.
The police deny that they have re—
ceived a report of the stolen ward-
robe and 'an employs at the bathing
pavilion suggested that some of the
girl's friends had "kidnapped" her
lingerie and dress as a joke. but
nevertheless the' girl nearly caused
several deaths when two Jitney bus
drivers narrowly avoided collision at
the entrance of Seaside park at

The development of Sherwood'l
Island on the shore at Westport, as
a State park and recreation space
for the people of this whole section.
should be one of the first objectives
of the lt‘alrfield County . Planning
association, members who attended
the meeting at the Norwaik Country
club in Norwalk last night agreed.
The State now owns the island prop-
er. through the State Park and For-
estry commission, but it is undevel-
oped and practically unavailable in
its present condition. due to the
lack of facilities for handltng
crowds.
President Samuel P. Senior. head
of the Bridgeport Hydraulic com-
pany. was in the chair. The meet—
ing was informal. due to the fact
that chairmen of several committees
were absent on vacations. so no re-
ports were presented. The asso-
ciation will meet in Westport in Sep-
tember, when the Sherwood'a island
development probably will be in-
spected.
Charles Dimond represented Nor-
walk at the meeting.
Walter 0. Filley, treasurer of. the
State Park and Forestry commis-
sion was present, and in an address
sought to impress the members of
the association and their constitu-
ents with the necessity for preserv-
ing and reclaiming for public use.
bench and shore front.
Since the establishment of the
commission. Mr. Filley said. one of
the most striking things the mem-
bers have found in combatting their
problems, is the way the beaches are
disappearing. Gradually. over a
period of years. the magnificent
Connecticut shore has been swal-
loWed up for private utilisation. and
barricaded and otherwise denied to
the people of Connecticut at large.
The commission has considered
that it is the duty of the State to
gather available pieces of shore
front. and set aside and maintain
them as public parks, not only for
the people of the immediate vicinity.
who are better able to get their own
accommodations. but particularly
for those from inland places, Mr.
Filley said.
At the State park at Hammonasset
beach, Madison. more than 200,000
have sought recreation this season.
and it is no common thing to have
30,000 persons attending, with 8.000
cars. on a Sunday. The physical
handling and disposition of such at-
tendance is a. great problem. and in
the case of Sherwood's island. the
State commission considers it un-
wise to further develop the park
until additional land and proper
facilities are available for handling
crowds. An appropriation to care
for this is to be sought of the 1925
General Assembly, be said.

Commissioner Stoeckel
To Speak at Safety
Congress ,— First to
Require Licenses
Commissioner Robbins B. Stocckel
of the Connecticut State Motor Ve-
hicle Department has accepted an
invitation to address the thirteenth
annual congress of the National
Safety Council to be held at Louis-
ville. Ky.. September :9 to October
3. He has been asked to speak on
the subject “Drivers’ Licenses, In-
eluding Examination and Revoca—
tion."
The feeling that reduction of mo-
tor vehicle accidents must depend
largely upon the disciplinary power
vested in the states through the li-
censing system is becoming general.
and the fact that Connecticut was
the first state in the Union to require
operators to have licenses. and its
record of suspensions freely made,
has resulted in a greatly increased
number of inquiries about the Con-
necticut system. this year. Even
now. a great many of the states do
not license motor vehicle operators.
New York state is Just beginning the
policy under legislation adopted in
the last. session of its Legislature.
and the system it has adopted fol-
lows that of Connecticut in many
respects.
The motor vehicle department
here has been using the suspension
power to co-operate with the courts
in the general effort to promote
more careful driving in the state.
For reckless driving and intoxication
alone, it suspended 1.265 licenses in
the first half of this year, and 'the
suspension rate for July continued
about the same. The licensing sys-
tem has the additional advantage
of impelling drivers who might
otherwise “take a chance" to be
careful for fear of marring the rec-
ord of their driving kept in the mo-
tor vehicle department files.

stated that the bank is entirely sol—
vent and that the bank examiners
have as yet uncovered nothing irre-
gular in the accounts of the insti-
tution.
l-‘cderai Examiner Beam: and
State Bank Commissioner John
ilyrnc, who arrived here today, con-
(erred at the bank this morning but
both declined to make any state-
ment. Examiner Beans stated that
the examiners were not. yet ready to
make a statement and could not say
when they wOuld do so.
Commissioner Byrne said that
there was no doubt that the accounts
of the state were in perfect order
and that owing to the safeguards
placed around the distribution of
state funds it was impossible that
any shortage could occur.
\thn the bank opened this morn-
ing. eight or ten customers were
present in the corridors. There was
no excitement and conditions were
normal except for the long faces of
the bank officials. and employee.
some of them having a haggard ap-
pearance as a. result of the all night
labor at the institution.
Assistant cashier Baker announc-
ed that arrangements had been made,
with other banks to take care of any
emergency which might necessitate
the use of funds in addition to those
on deposit in the bank. No indica-
tion that any such emergency would
arise was apparent however. up to
noon today.
Second Visit of Examiners.
It was learned today that the visit
of the federal bank examiners who
hastened to the institution yester-
day after being notified of Mr. Gil-
patric's attempt to take hlslite. was
the second within a brief period.
The first visit was made several days
ago but nothing could be learned as
to the results of their visit. or
whether there was anything unusual
about it.
Mrs. Giipatric, wife or the State
,Treaaurer. was expected to arrive in
Bostongthis forenoon from Mount
Desert Island. Maine, where she has
been the guest of her brother-in-
law. Walter Gilpatric of New York
city, who has a. summer home there.
Another brother of‘ Mr. Gilpatric.
Raymond. of New Britain. Conn..
who came here last night. left early
today by automobile, expecting to
bring Mrs. Gllpatrick and his broth-
er Walter to this city. The two sons
are with their grandfather. George
Walter Gilpatric, at Juniper oipt.
Maine. and the daughter at sum-
mer camp. _
Raymond Giipatric had a brief
and afiecting interview with his
brother at the hospital during the
night after he had regained con-
sciousness, but as far as could be
learned there was little said between
them, the State Treasurer merely
patting his brother’s hand.
Hospital authorities stated today
that an operation, while considered,
had not been decided upon owing
to the serious condition of the pa-
tient. It was stated that while the
condition of the patient was a. little
..more encouraging this forenoon he
was still very serious. Dr. F. A. Mor—
rell. the family physician. who is in
charge of the case., - declined to add
anything to the statement given out
at the hospital.
The revolver with which Mr. Gil-
patrick shot himself was a -pearl
handled weapon of .32 calibre and
of old design.
