unexpected tum here Thursday
night when it became the occasion
of an attack on the Bridgeport ro-
puhlicnn organization by Benedict
.‘\l. Holden of Hartford in the pre-
sence of Governor Trumbull and R0-
publicnn State Chairman Roraback.
The attack caused a stir in view
of the recent conference which
Mayor F‘. William Behrens and Post-
master Arthur F. Conner of Bridge.
port had at republican state head-
quarters with Chairman Rora‘hnck
an the submucnt “(10th the
Bridgeport republican town oom~
mittee looking toward adulation
with the republican state organisa-
tion. Neither the governor nor
Chairman Roi-aback in their speech-
es, commented on the speech of Mr.
Holden. but all three spoke of the
value of organisation in politics.
Governor Trumbull declared he is
not a. politician nor interested in
politics us politics. but that he is in-
terested in good government and in
the government of the state of Con-
necticut. He scored the attitude of
some who do not get into politics
because they feel there are things
in the party they do not like. There
are some things in the republican
party. he said. that he did not like.
but he felt the way to remedy them
was to work with the party and try
to remedy them that way.
Chairman Rorsback declared there
is no mystery in pollti organiza-
tions. They are formed 11 run the
same as any other or action. To
be successful. political organizations
must be deserving of success. Good
business is good politics and good
politics is good business. he said. He
scored the altitude of those who call
themselves independents and say
they support the "best man" of any
party. They will never get anywhere
by so doing. he said. They must
stick to one party and make that
party nominate the best men. No
man is bigger than his party and
very few issues are bigger than any
party.
A copy of Mr. Holden's prepared
speech. given out in Hartford be-
fore he left for Waterbury, said, a-
mong other things: “The way in
which Tax Commissioner Arthur F.
Connor of Bridgeport administered
the duties of his office broke down
the tlnances of Bridgeport and jeo~
pardlsed the taxing machinery of
the state «Connecticut. In view of
the manner in which public affairs
were handled in Bridgeport. the
political leaders of the state would
have been unworthy of the confi-
dence of the people if they had per-
mitted such a condition to conunue.
The wresting of the financial aime-
tnre of the city of Bridgeport from
the hands of the men who control-
led it was one of the most credit-
able achievements of the republi-
can party of Connecticut in the last
few years." -
“ "All of that was thrsashed out be-
fore thc Senate sub~commlttee. and
after hearing tho-charges. my selec-
tion as postmaster was recommend-
ed. thereby exonerating me. " said
