Used, if elected, to give the state a
business administration and every
citizen a square deal He affirmed
the right of laboring men to organ

tors as being sincere and outspoken
and was given hearty applause when
he concluded his remarks.

more selections, which made a big
hit with the crowd, and then the
party speeded away to Palouse.

PEOPLE HAVE RIGHT
 TO EXPRESS VIEWS

Norwalk, March 27.-Won1an suf- to secure a special session of the Connecticut general assembly to consider ratification of the federal suffrage amendment and today Miss Alice Paul, national chairman of the National Womans Party through Mrs. Helen Hill Weed, daughter of the late Congressman F. J. Hill, is sued a statement that should Cover nor Holcomb decline to use his "per- missive powers" to call a special ses- sion of the general assembly the suf- fragists will fall back on the pri- mary and fundam ental right of the general assembly to convene itself in general session.
 Miss FauIs Statement.
 Miss Paurs statement follows:
 Tn the event that Governor Io1- comb refuses to use the co-ordinate and permissve powers given by the XIV amendment to the Connecticut constitution suffragists will fall back on the primary and fundamental right of the general assembly to convene itself in general session, a right granted by Article III., Section 2, of the Connecticut state constitu- ton.
 We do not believe that the gov ernor was correctly quoted in the statement attributed to him last Thursday. We believe a Jealous and anti-suffrage reporter misunderstood his position as has been the case sev eral times before on this issue.
 we have too high an opinion of his astuteness a lawyer to believe that he would express such an opin ion on the legal and constitutional points involved or become so confused regarding the differing principles of ,sfate- and federal action on the suf- frage question.
 Expects Favorable Action.
 We believe that when the official representatives of the republican state convention present to him the resolution. from theA convention and the reason for their action that he will recognize that a situation. now exists which justified the use of his permissive power to call the special session. But if he should continue to refuse We shall then resort to the funda m ental right of the people Themselves to act through their rep Tesentatives in the general assembly.
 The people have never surren- dered this primary right of action to any man or group of men,"
