The Hon. Charles W. Comstock of
Montville in his letter 10 members OF
the democratic state committee. lfber-
sted from his gifted pen the following
declaration: The halls of legislation
HAVE been surrounded by powerful lob

There is a gigantic. long bearded king
according to old French tradition
who sits asleep at a great table be-
meath a mountain, with his warriors
about him, waiting the hour of Frances

peace and power
The king to whom legend credits this
thousand year slumber was Charlie
uagne, emperor of the Franks. who
snatched France from barbarism and
raised IL to almost the eminence for
rerly held by ancient Rome.
How does history repeat itself. In
the hour of Connecticut's peril from
the lobby there has awol1e from peace
full slumber a statesman who knows a
lobbyist when he sees one, knows the
halls of legislation, for he has been
there, knows how the surrounding"
act is done, for he has helped to do it.
History tells us that Charlema gne
discovered that the Saxons were heath
IN. and set out to convert them, carry
ing the Bible in one hand and the
sword in the other.
Obviously Charlie Comstock has dis
covered that Connecticut lobbyists are
very dangerous and very wicked. Dis
coyery has resulted in action and it is
fitting that the crusader be one who
can carry a post graduate diploma in
one hand and j message of warning in
the other.
