Mr. Chairman and Delegates
this Convention:
Not only my greeting. but likewise
my gratitude is extended for the
bestowal or this extraordinary privi-
lege. Reluctantly. yet frankly, I
confess a. feeling of apprehension,
lest one as humble in talent should
succumb to the weight of my pre-
sent responsibility. The diiIiculty
for him who would strike the chord
to
lies not. in the reception of his ut-
terances by those of sympathetic
bent. such as you. but rather in the
task of declalming in the poverty of
language whose ideals and ambitions
ovenwhich the independent has al-
ready pondered, but theexpressing
of which he has left to another.
With this in mind. and at the thres-
hold. may I not say that this address
embraces my conception of the mus—
ings of others. Strictly personal in
its conclusions. it purposely refrains
from following that stereotyped en-
deavor of the keynoter who indulges
in a monotonous repetition otachi-
evcments of his party. as though any
administration could be so dumb
that in the course of four years it.
could not be expected to accomplish
some kogressive legislation.
However, my burden is lightened
considerably by your welcome. The

al of democracy branded men as so-
cial outcasts. To the purity of their

0:: Prohibition lame.
my I direct your attention to an-
other phase of present-day'intoler—
ance. My reference is to the Eight-
eenth Amendment. Prohibition is a
result of an intolerance. which. how-
ever, has none of the characteristics
of bigotry about it. but on the con-
tnry mes many attributes ot
commendation. Well might we ap-
plaud the efforts of well-meaning
individuals which aim at the uplift
otunanlund. were the results or
their endesyors and theories not so
antagonisflc'to democratic principles
and so disastrous in practice.
The great mistake oi! the pro-
hibitionlst is his confounding pro-
hibition with- temperance. It is
doubtful it one can be tound so on-
as to deny the blessings
moo. ‘If by the magical
power of some airy'wand. I could
b-tow upon the people of this
country this moral excellence. glad-
I]. and speedily would I’ do so. For

Congressman O'Sullivan. who has been ill with an attack of the grip
for the past few days. spoke in part as follows?
their disapproval of a morals-regu-
lating statute. That method ts to
continue the action sought to be
eliminated and controlled. In other
words, it is a disrespect for and a
violation of the law. That the pro-
hibition law attcmpts to regulate the
morals of the people is not open to
question. If our premises are correct
therefore, that morah cannot be reg-
ulated by law, and it our people pos-
sess those same human qualities
every human being up to this good
hour has always possessed then we
might expect an universal antipathy
toward the law and a constant viola-
tion of it. Such. indeed. are the tacts.
Mistake of National Convention.
Surely. a party whose record has
been-n continual stream of progres-
sive legislation, ought to retain the
good-will and gratitude of the people
she has served. Not that democracy
is perfect. lnnumerable times has
she blundcrcd. For democracy en-
rolls men. not gods. Perhaps it was
a tremendous mistake to have in-
Jected the great issue into the
cent New York convention. Surely.
no oné can doubt how colossal a
blunder was the solution. if we digni—
ry it as a solution. Perhaps much of
the unrest of Connecticut's men and
>women may find its source in the
’iailure of that very convention

lgreat democrat oi the Empire State.
{the one and only Al Smith. But do-
lmocracy has made no blunder as she
ihands her banner to the lawyer of

I Honesty or Coolidge.
Little wonder republicans refuse l
explain whore explanations serve
l
g as convinced of the personal honest}
lot Calvin Coolidge as I am of ih‘»
existence of God. nevertheless. the
responsibility for this sordid story
of graft and corruption must. does
and shall rest only on the doorstep
of the republican party. where it
properly belongs. “'hcll parties ac-
cep: powrr. thry must likewise as-
sume the responsibility (or the prop—
er use of that power. The, President
may say. ”I am honest." but his
words can’ obliterate the memory of
the suffering or wounde-l soldiers.
the republican press may scream
'that corruption is not an issue. but
’their rhetoric can‘t cffnce the pic-
ture of the little black bag full of
gold.
And now may I direct your
thoughts into another channel. As-
sembled here as democrats of Con-
lncc‘licut. our duty is primarily to
outline our state policies. It would
be pleasant to discuss the need of
an absent-‘0 voting law; of a policy
to connect trunklinc highways to in-
sure better transportation for rural
l communities: of a. revision of taxa-
tion especially to the repeal of the
nuisance taxes; of curing certain de—
fects in the Vi'orkme-n's Compensa-
tion Act that employees on interstate
carriers might elect he State Act as
the toundationwt lht‘ll‘ remedy. and
further that appeals from commis-
sioners might be simple. inexpensive
and certain of action. even where
defective appeal steps are taken by
the employee: of legislation to pre-
vent the use as evidence of any
property illegally seized without the
authority or a. search warrant. Like~
wise would it be proper to suggest
changes for certain archaic practice
in handling some of the state ac-
counts. But a. feeling of sympathy

start—e treas'arer—A
feeling. which I just can't. under-
stand or explain—not only inspires
the hope that the. public funds are
intact. but prevents a more detailed
outline of the needed rcform. Again
it would be delightful to express my
hearty approval of the position of
Mr. Bingham. which while utterly at
President Coolidge. insists that the
Connecticut system of education can
best be handled by the people of
Connecticut.
Outlines Theories
However. I deem it of such im-
portance that I am impelled to out-
line my theories on Connecticut's na-
tural water resources. The future
will be an ‘age of electricity. Into
