TRADITIONS OF IRELAND AND
 IDEALS OF HER PEOPLE WE'RE ExEMPLIFIED IN LARGE BANQUET

Traditions of old Ireland, so near and dear to the hearts of the Irish people. were brought to the forefront of thought last night at the big ban quet of the Ancient. Order of Hiber- nians in The stra4field, and in fine speeches, beautiful singing and happy moods were the videals of the home Hand exemplified. It was one of the finest gatherings 1.-the kind ever held fin the state. The large dining room tof the hotel was taxed to its fullest lcapacfty with men and women of tIrish birth The banquet was given in lconnection with the big state .conven- Ftion of the Ancient Order of Hiber- snians now being held and it was as Fcelossal as was the parade of Tues- day.
 The tables were prettily arranged The speakers table was in front of the orchestra balcony and stretching from ithe center of this, across the room ito the entrance was another table at which seated3 the notable women of

 Attorney Thomas NJ Cullinan was ifoa stmaster and seated at the head table with him were: State President tP. J. Sullivan of the A. o. H., Mayor lC. B. Wilson, Attorney David Fitz- gerald of New Haven, State Secretary sJof1n SstMeCarthy of New Haven, lsState Treasurer E.. T. Lyons of Hart @Efdrd and Col. T.. J. Murphy, Rev. p. T IA F1annery of Hazardville Judge E.. IF. Hallen of this. city and Joseph F. Reilly chairman of the general com rnittee, A. w. Coniff; of Danbury and w H. Hove of Danbury. At adjoin- ing tables were the county presidents from the eight counties in the state.
 At a table at right angles with the speakers table the state and coun- ;ty officers of the Ladies Auxiliary were seated with the presidents of the two local branches of the order.
 There was a. singing section near the entrance and this, group of splen- did voices added much to the occasion. Parodies were sung as the different speakers were introduced and this form of greeting proved most delight ful.
 The program of the evening inc1ud- ed speeches by State President Sulli- van, Mayor Clifford B. Wilson Rev. Fr F. J. F1annery of Hazardville, '-len eof Probate court and Hon.

John McCoo1, and ssO'Donnel Aboo. '' MT. Guilty of Hartford and Mrs. Cream of New Britain were the other sing CTS.
 Fr. Flannery gave a speechon Irish Influence,'' which was one of the hn- est addresses that has ever been giv- en before Irish people of the city.
 Most Of our people are fairly accept able and are beholden> to no other race on earth for the possession of those virtues of soul, graces of body and powers of mind that should recommend us, at least to the tolerance ofsothers, '' he declared. Like other speakers of the evening he cried down the shams of Socialism and pointed out how that organization was one which stood for destruction of the 1. nationalgE institu- tions. whereas the Catholic. church whicbf Socialism is fighting, Stood for the. building up and maintenance of national institutions.
 Postmaster Cullinan gave a Splen- did address and the speech of MT. Fitzgerald, stirred the audience very strongly
 Attorney Cullinan said:
 . t'At a function of this kind held in the midst of your convention activi- ties. it is a fitting question to con- various branches throughout the state have gathered in this city to take measures to strengthen and perpetu- ate the organization of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. The history of the order answers the, question. It's past argues not only, that it deserves to live but that the welfare of the Irish people demands that it should live. It has been a steady uplifting force in the advancement of the Irish race. All of: it's influences have been
 beneficient and elevatfng. Its teach ings and efforts have been true to the highest aspirations and hopes of the Irish people.
 For the preservation of the Catho- lie faith and the attainment of na- tional independence, the Irish have for centuries in their home land, sacri- ficed every material gain and all so- cial and political preferment and have made themselves race of martyrs
 During all those years of oppression
 and privation, they have been true to those ideals. And one of the strong est agencies in sustaining their un- broken spirit was this society, in which we have the honor to claim member ship.
 @In the few moments which I car consistently occupy as toastmaster, am not going to attempt to review even in a cursory way, any of the events of Irish history. But, I fee that may with all propriety and perhaps, ought to touch briefly upon one reflection suggested by yesterdays imposing parade and demonstration As one looked upon those thousands of men of Irish birth and lineage marching through the streets of this American city, and realized that II those ranks was represented almost every branch of human endeavor, and ''that in those various branches of in

dustry these men had succeeded and prospered, the onlookers not only felt that 1t was a great demonstration of the potential qualities of the Irish people when living under favoring conditions, but that this country had to the Irish race. And the further thought suggested itself, what have the Irish done for this country in return for these advantages and bene- fits? The Irish have done much for the material welfare of this land. der its flag, both on land and sea, and have furnished leadership and the highest ability in all lines of lactiv- ity. But these services, of incompara- ble value though they are, do not con- stitute the chief contribution of the Irish to this country and it's institu- tions Their greatest service will be found in their answering devotion to the Catholic church and their generous and self-sacrificing aid in supporting it and extending it.
 Thoughtful students of social and economic questions in America today recognize the Roman Catholic church as the most potent agency for the sal- vatfon of society and the preservation today no religious body in this coun- try comparable with it in power and influence over it's membership It is an organization of strict discipline. It's children are compelled to hear it's word and listen to it's teachings. They must comply with certain of it's pre- cepts; if they would remain within the church This church has year in and year: out consistently taught obedience to duly constituted authority and rec ognitlon- of the personal and proper ty rights of others. It has preached 1 q the obligations summed up in the doc Urine of the fatl1erhood of God and the brotherhood of man. It has al- ways sought to make it's children loyal and law abiding citizens of this coun- try.
 Tt has tasen a fixed and unmistake- able position in opposition to the dis American society and the countrye most cherished institutions. It is wig orously contesting the dangerous and destructive propaganda of Socialism. The leaders of the Socialist movement recognize this fact, and openly de- is the greatest obstacle in the path of Socialism in this country today
 Furthermore, the Catholic church is striving to accomplish above all things the preservation of the home. It has assumed a, firm and inflexible
  Divorce is the great disrupting power at work in American society, and if it's destructive force is not checked there is no predicting what the end may be.
 And again, the Catholic church is now doing for numerous other nation alities what she has already done for the Irish people. By her doctrines and discipline she is moulding into true and law-ahiding American citizens thousands and hundreds, of thousands of foreigners who are yearly coming to these shores. Take our own city, this cosmopolitan city of Bridgeport Stop and think for a moment that there are nearly twice as many Catho- lie parishes in this city made up of other nationalities. as there are par ishes composed of those of Irish blood We have Slovenian, Hungarian, Pol ish, Italian, German, French and Lithuanian Catholic churches These churches are at work accomplishing
