 | He believed that a bill for the eight hour day for women and minors should be offered ana enacted into law at the next session. Another bill should be to provide that if an eni- ployer advertises for help in case of a strike or lockout he should so state it iii the advertisement. Every effort should be made to pass law to pre- vent the bringing around of guards, thugs and gunmen to do the duty that police officials are well able to per- form.
 In conclusion, President Stremlau referred to the approaching cleo tjons." lie said in this regard: ! Let us investigate the respective merits of the party platforms and also qualifications of the cand dates, satisfy ourselves that the candidates we elect to office are not under control of cor porations or for selfish gain but are interested for the public good.

 we heartily endorse the policy of previous Republican administrations
 in creating a state organization and state institutions to combat the spread of tuberculosis and to provide
 care and treatment for the unfortu- nate among our citizens afflicted with | that disease. We recognize the large part which labor has taken in this humanitarian work and emphatically
 declare for it's continuance by the
 state. 2. I've pledge the Republican party to
 continuance of the policy of build
 ing and maintaining good roads. we commend to the favorable consideration of the incoming legisla- ture the wisdom of enacting laws for
 the installation of a uniform system
 of bookkeeping and accounting in all state institutions and advocate an in- vestigation of the advisability of es- tablishing a central purchasing agency for state supplies.
 "The pledges made by the Repub- licans of Connecticut in their plat form two years ago have been honor ably fulfilled as the present Republi- can administration started with an actual state debt of s13,000,000. To- day, the sinking fund, wisely estab- lished by the Republican legislature of 1915,. together with other accum- mutations, has provided, a sum suffi- cient to cancel approximately 50 per cent. of this indebtedness. We pledge the party to a ca0tinuing reduction of the state debt and tNan economical use of the public funds. in accordance with the sound financial policy al- ready inaugurated under Republican auspices.
 "In Charles Evans Hughes, the Re- publican party has presented to the nation a courageous, able and digni- fled candidate whose mental equip ment and experience give assurance of an administration worthy of the best traditions of our party and our coun- try. His election will place the Amer ican name upon the high plane among the nations to which it's dignity and importance justly entitle us."
