Continued from Page One) Attorney Albert Talks offered the following statement previous to the resolution:
 Gentlemen - Digress1ng from the | subject at hand for moment I wish | to make clear the position of the | Young Mems Republican club upon certain issue which pertains to the | welfare of the party.
 1 Newspapers throughout the state on Monday, April IA, 1919, carried notice of an attack made by the Con- 1 necticut member of the Republican | National committee against the Hon. 1 Henry J. Roraback of Canaan. Hon. 1 Frank HeaIy of Windsor Locks and l the Hon. I. NJ Ullman of New Haven, | all representing the highest ideals in 1 this grand old party, of which all | you gentlemen here are members. | These 1hree men are Of formost and l most widely known leaders of the Re 1 publican party in this state and for 1 years have given unselishly their time and best efforts for the success of the Republican party in this state and for years have given unself1shly their 1 time and best efforts for the success l of the Republican party and have | given unstintingly to the nation and | their respective communities in the l time of the greatest stress their time l and means to the utmost without hope l or promise of reward.
 do not know whether you person | ally have read of the unprovoked, h. l sulting personal attack which John T. King, national Republican com | mitteeman, has made upon the Re- | publican leaders in this state. l feel l that I represent the Young Mems Re | l strongly resent the action of such q
 man in stirring up factional disputes l and villifying men who have given
 of their best morally, financially and 1 politically for the betterment of the
 party and are still giving, men who | are bending every effort to keep har- 1 mony and peace in the ranks of the greatest party in the finest state in
 the Union, men who have given their
 all for the success of Republican prin-
 ciples and everything pertaining to ! good clean, upright citizenship
 party harmony and success and those
 great principles that have and are keeping our state and country pro gressively fighting for the best welfare of their citizenship and this grand
 old United States of America. long
 before John King was ever known to
 
 States is too grand an ins1tution to
 allow factional feeling to predomin-
 ate. The Union of states has been
 the secret of the vast strength of this
 nation which, when the emergency
 arose, poured its unlimited resources
 in wealth and man power out upon
 the battlefields of Europe.
 /! I feel, gentlemen, that I express the
 sentiment of you all when I say we especially resent the attack on one of New Haven's finest and foremost cit tzens, Col. I. M. UlIman. Col. Ullman
 has given his time unsparingly to this community without counting the cost
 to himself toward putting New Ea- , ven over the top in the vast number
 of varying endeavors which this war has brought forward. Consider his great interest and devotion to the
 charity organizations of this city He is loved by friends and foe alike to
 such a degree that when our local
 Chamber of Commerce conva1ed to
 elect a successor to Col. UlIman the
 man selected was Col Ullman. He
 has succeeded himself again and
 again; such tribute Is not paid to one who is not deserving. but on the con trary shows the highest respect and , admiration.
 Gentlemen, John T. King has been guilty of the greatest breech of duty
 toward those who placed him in the position he now holds. We keenly feel and with grave concern, the at titude of one who holds the position
 of national committeeman from Con- nectcut. especially when the eyes of ,; the world are turned toward the glory of everlasting peace in stirring up l'dissendon and factional feeling in the Republican ranks.
 John T. King is -desirous of know
 ing why the Republican majority has
 fallen from 45,o0O to 1000 in this = state.
 9 It is just such unc;.lled for person. . al attacks upon party leaders, upon Republicans or set of Republicans = that you have made John King. that
 results in bitterness that inevita bly has caused hard feelings.
 The most damnable feature of this |, attack gentlemen was the fact that D it came at a time and place where no = opportunity of defending themselves
 was afforded to the gentlemen so vil-
 filed by the Republican committee
 man.
 Connecticut has always been proud [ and justly so, of the kind of man - which has represented it on the ma
 tional committee. In the past the . honor has fallen to such men as the ] late Hon. Samuel Fessenden, Hon Q Charles Broolxer and Hon. John Hen Q ny, men who have devoted every ef- :. fort toward main aiming peace and = harmony in the ranks of the Repub- q ltcans in this state, men who repre- Il sented the highest ideals in politics e not men who sought to create dissen- t sion and factional bitterness If Con-
 necdcut is being classed as a doubtful
 state there Is only one thing that will
 bring it back. that Is peace and abso-
 lute harmony. not attacks upon part leaders entirely uncalled for as those
