Especial to The Farmer)

Hartford, Conn.,, Dec. 1O-The sole topic in political circles here today is the determined stand taken by the Democratic members of the House, in conference here yesterday to the num- Der Of 90 with regard to regulation of the activities of the third house. In meeting filled with purposeful ac- tiv1ty. the legislators went on record as in favor not only of the fulfAment of party pledges, but of going to un- precedented lengths towards banishing the influences whose activities have cast many a blot on the escutcheon of COnnecticut'S various general assem- plies of recent years.
 The meeting was held in Bonds resta aurant, and was called to order shortly after by George H. Forster, Central committee. He delivered a characteristic speech. reminding the legislators-elect of their duties to the party and the people, and voicing anew the principles of sound Democ- racy which have led the Democrats of Connecticut to honor him with the chairmanship of the State Central committee
 William E. Thons, former Mayor of Waterbury was unanimously elected chairman, and Judge Lockwood of Stamford, secretary.
 Lieut.. Gov.-elect Tingier delivered a speech along the same lines of pro- gressive Democracy as had character ized the remarks of Chairman Forster and Chairman Thoms.
 It was on the motion of Lynn W. Wilson, e-elect from Bridgeport, that the steering commit tee was named. MT. Wilson moved
