Editor Osborne Says He Has Not
Time to Debate With Economic
Leaguers- Judge York's Unique
Canvass in New Haven Secretary
Moody Left to Wander Alone on Ar

Chairman Walsh of the democratic
state central committee in an inter-
view at New Haven on Saturday, IS
reported as very enthusiastic in ex-
Dressing the opinion that not only the
entire state ticket will be elected, but
that the democrats will be victorious
in the four congressional districts, ana
will elect the ongressman-at-large.
I'VE believe" he said, that the Whole
democratic state ticket will be elected
Now that statement has for its basis
careful reports made to this Office by
trustworthy individuals. These re-
ports have been prepared and submits
ted to headquarters only after a thor
ough inquiry into the political condl-
lions in democratic localities. They
are not the reports of enthusiasts, but
of men who have a thorough knOWl
edge of the situation. We have no
cratic party. There is no dissension,
no disloyalty. I certainly never saw
the democratic party more thoroughly
united in Connecticut There may be
spot here and there where there is
kink or two, but taken as whole the
democracy is united. Honestly, 1 be-
lieye that we will sweep everything.
Now, with reference to getting out our
vote. Our voters don't need any urg-
ing. They will come out to vote. They
have every reason to go to the polls,
the same reasons practically that will
gain for us a vast republican vote, and
those are that the people are dissatis-
fed with the party in power in the ma
tiona1 as well as the state administra-
tons. I tell you people are thorough
~ disguised with the way the republi-
cans have been carrying things with
such high hand and totally ignoring
and walking right on the rights of the
people. Republicans have come here
to see me, without the slightest solicit
tation on my part, to tell me they are
with us this time because of the great
dissatisfaction that generally is to be
found throughout the country"
The democrats will hold an open air
rally at North square this evening. At
torney Harry Minor will preside and
addresses will be delivered by Judge
Lowe, Senator Kennedy and Attorney
Cassidy. Everybody should turn out
and hear what they will have to say.
The Economic league has received a.
reply from Colonel n. G.. Osborn in re-
gard to the leagues challenge to de-
bate the fuel supply question. The
letter follows:
Il regret that other ENGAGEMENTS
and dates prevent me from accepting
your challenge for a joint debate with
representative of the Economic
league upon the fuel supply question.
In addition it will now be out of order,
the danger being averted. Very re-
spectfu1ly N. g. OSBORN =
A meeting Of the league will be held
Wednesday night to consider the re-
ply.
