 Tens of Thousands of the vigorous young Fascist and their enthusiastic admirers who accompanied them from all over the land were on the way back to their homes today.

'GANG' CAST|GA7ED

Monday Audience at Russell & Er-

r. $. McMahon, democratic nom- inee for state senator, continued his attack on the gang" that Is in charge of the oca1 wing of the republican party, when he spoke to a gathering of several hundred workmcn at the Russell &; Erwin factory gates this noon.
 He was not slow to express disap- proval of the manner in which offices are filled, not by being spread out so that several deserving men might be recognized but rather corralled by one individual. He pointed out that the judge of the police court is also judge of the city court, is republican state central committeeman, that his law partner is deputy judge of the city and police courts and now seeks election to the legislature.
 He charged that the common coun- cil with its overwhelming republican majority, was made a fool of for years to keep the individual first re- ferred to in the office of prosecuting attorney. He urged a change, criti- cizing the electors for their indiffer- ence in political matters. He ex- pressed a feeling of certainty that now that the facts have been pre- sented to the voters, they will act for a change.
 Visits State Police.
 The speaker told his listeners that he was in Hartford yesterday after noon with Mrs. Muter, owner of the Chapman street bus lines. and that an effort was made to secure impor- tant papers from the state police to substantiate certain information con- corning two local lawyers. Detective Tomanio was out of the city, but Capt. Nichols promised their delivery immediately upoh the return of the policeman, said MT, McMahon. Can celled checks and a mortgage on Mrs. Muter's property comprise the papers, the candidate claiming that they rep resent s5,o0o paid to two attorneys to secure bus franchise.
 Calls Fee Exorbitant.
 Going into the question of the fee, the speaker felt 1t, was exorbitant. As a form of protest he suggested that they Trout the gang this year sAtl pofFas ss.f { Sas tSsF'S

 Communism Paralyzcd.
 For the moment at least. commun- ism has no part in the life of Italy. The onslaught of the Fascist has rendered all radicalism paralyzing blow, Carrying their battle into the labor temples and the meeting places of their antagonists. the militant na- tionalists have seized the records and rosters and burned them.
 Politically the chief topic in Italy today is what the fortunes of the new cabinet will be when 1t goes be- fore the chamber of deputies. One thing is certain If Mussolini's gov ernment does not receive majority in the chamber he will have parlia- ment dissolved and then the Fascist will take their cause to the country.
