under the primary law the platform Of
the party is to be made by convention
composed of the nominees for State
senators and town representatives and
the six elective officers, | will only say
at this time that from my fourteen
years experience as auditor of ac-
counts have come to certain definite
conclusions as to what will tend to
advance the interests of our State and
make the government more efficient
and less expensive.
Later on will be glad to go into
these matters IN detail, but for the
present let me say that | feel that we
should first adequately care for the
State institutions we have and the
State endeavors we are engaged upon,
before we take up new enterprises, and
that certain of our boards and commits
sions can be consolidated or dispensed
with withoutinjury to the public service.
