 How will we restore the faith os the people in our party and rcgai1 their support? There Is only ono way that 1 can see and that Is to show them by actual work that we moan to serve them and their inter- csts as a whole and not any longer to swing like pendulum from la bor tu capital and from capital to labor that we mean to make the governments, city. state and national, lFlltI ENFNfi illl' llNNt Ht Iltl' w tN' iifAA . work, directed in an intelligent way to actual problems,
 You ask what is this work and how can we do it? The true practical question in the city, state and nation al government at the present time Is, how do you get the money to carry on your business? Is your taxation just and equal? How do you spend the money which you get from the people hy taxation? Do you treat this truat fund az carefully $ you would if if were your own?
 Much Is being said about tho re- organization eff the democratic party Unless fl is furnished with working capital by the reorganization commit tee. it will fail again The capital must come from proven ability to i understand an established courage tn | undertake and an admitted fitness to run the government.

You ask how shall we do this2 1 "Why cannot this society select an i advisory committee from among its democratic members, whose business it ! will be to ask some good hard headed dcoCrat from each state to confer, to the end that an organization shah he perfected in each state, whose business lt will he to put questions and get an- sWors from the government where do you get tho money 10 run your gov crnmcnt?

OFFER THREE SITES
Committee on New Supply House Site Has Those
 Proposals,
TO INSPECT TOMORROW
No One Opposes idea-Central Place, However. Is Generally
 Favored.

The committee appointed last Mon- day night at the meeting of the board of aldermen to hear the public on tEc proposition of the purchase by the city of tract of land for use as a site for a new supply house and gen eral utility land received propositions last night of three different sites and had no opposition to the purchase of a site The first sites offered were from William ]. Atwater. He hAd one in Fair Haven, adjoining the present Quinnipiac park. This land he described as l65 by 670 feet, stretching out to the harbor line. Thc other plot of land Is on Middletovn avenue and is 500 by 376 feet.
 Michael Goode offered the other one which is the former Halsted and liar- mount site in Water street, which nc board of finance has been considering for some time. This he described as 220 feet fronting on Water street. about 1,60O feet deep of which l,2&5 feet is clear Of the wator and about 3S0 feet along the harbor line, He urged its central location and size.
 Thomas l. O'Brien advocated the piece of land presented by Mir. Goode on the ground of its central location. Ex-Alderman Thomas Molloy sad that piece of land was across the street from his place. He did not advocate any special piece of lard, but thought the city shonld at oree buy piece of land of good size and centrally located, Michael F. Camp bell and Edward Rourke had similar views.
 Superintendent Of Streets William Cronin urged tho purchase of land as a matter of convenience and even necessity, He stated that the city al present stores its property all oyer, much of 1t being valuable and yet let in lots belonging to other people at different parts of the city where 't 1 is unwatched and often in part stolen. ] Moreover thousands of stones former | ly used for paving and of considerable value are stored in lots all over .he l city and when the owners want to ;ee 1 the lots they have to be moved. Hc l spoke of one instance of an owner | telling the city that he wants to build on his lot This will now entail thc moving of thousands of stones by tte l city and the cost, he said, would he a thousand dollars, Moreover the city should have all its public works lc. partments together instead of scat. tered. In many ways he spoke of the city would save and be more efficient in It's work if a new and large supply house site was obtained.
 The committee took no action las night. It intends to take A trlt around to the three sites tomorrow afternoon
