COUNTY CONVENTION

(Continued from page 1) of Frank H. Turkington for sheriff of Litchfeld county, who has been tried and true in every position of responsibility that has been entrust- ed, to his care. We pledge to him our support in this campaign" The committee on credentials con- sisted of William H. Futile of Ply mouth, Charles W. Volkmann of Torrington and W. W. Beers of Wa tertown; and on permanent organi- zation, George H. Johnson of Morris, P. w. flaming of Watertown and Miss Clara Smith of Sharon.
 It was voted to re-elect three memI bers of the state central committee to act as the county committee. The three are Marvin H. Tanner of Win sted, A. w. Mitchell of Woodbury and Frank B. Mum of New Hart ford. X
 The delegates from North Canaan were w. M. Teague and A. W. Krouse and from Canaan I. P. and E. J. Hornbeck.
 A sumptuous banquet was served the delegates at the famous Phelps Tavern, which, as one delegate re- marked, was enough to make "good'' democrat turn over a new leaf and join the republican party.
 The post prandial exercises were opened by toastmaster George C. Woodruff, who in his inimicable style introduced the speakers. The first speaker was Congressman James P. Glynn, recently nominated for the fifth term in House of Repre- sentatives. "
 Congressman G1ynn stated that the convention should be congratulated on their. renomination of Sheriff Turkington. He is man that makes friends for the simple reason that he can't help it, said the Con- gressman. He is agreeable without effort and he's going to be reelected. Continuing, he said that Sheriff Huntington would have been glad to srep down four years ago, but the people of Litchfeld County needed him and there was no other to take his place.
 Congressman Glynn said this IS a republican year and the republicans are going to win because they have made so few mistakes. Without go- ing into details, the present era com pares favorably with the greatest in history. Since Harding has entered the White House, it has been a series of unscrambling and of untangling. Public taxes have been reduced $88,0OO,OOO, taken principally from the persons with a moderate income. One billion of dollars has been can celled from the national debt and we have passed a tariff that is as good as any tariff ever passed. Confidence has been restored and the wheels of industry are humming in greater volume than ever before.
 It would be nothing less than a catastrophe not to return Senator Mclean to the Senate. He has been notable figure in the senate in many ways and is generally regarded in Washington as one of the most capable members, and will continue to grow more useful every year.
 Charles A. Templeton, your nomi- nee for governor, is a man of whom you should all be proud. Born in Litchfeld County, this alone should merit your, support. But he has proven his ability and he is going to be elected. The ticket as a whole consists of splendid men. You have picked for sheriff the strongest man in the county and now you should get out and work for him.
 The toastmaster stated that MT. Templeton was invited but was un- able to be present, but that he was represented by U. U. Church, who, next to Arthur Els, had done the most to secure Mir Templeton's nomination. <,a@ .. .s-
