 PAY TRIBUTE TO
 CALEN A. GARTER

Over 100 members of the Fairfield County Bar Association convened to- fore Judge Robert E. DeForest. pres ident of the Association, when the resolution on the death of Galen A. Carter as passed by the committee F. Keeler. States Attorney Homer F. Cummings. and Warren F. Greasy, was adopted.
 Each member of the committee, praises of Galen A. Carter, who for a number of years held the office of As sistant to the States Attorney.
 The resolution as presented by the committee was, in part, as follows: ''In the death of Galen A. Carter the Bar of Fairfield County has lost a distinctive figure. Born November 2s, 1857. he began the study of law in Stamford and in 1880 he was ad- m:tted to the Bar of Fairfield County. In 1888 he was appointed assistant to the states attorney by the late Sam ue1 Fessenden and served as such un- til 1907 when the present office of Assistant States Attorney was ere ated. He was then appointed to that office which he filled with great dis tinction until his death. serving the State continuously over a period of nearly 40 years. As assistant state s attorney he was devoted in the high interests of the State above his own private practice. In the conduct of his office ,hc was courageous in the highest degree, never permitting pub lie or private criticism to sway him from his sense of justice or to influ >e1ce him in the just disposal of crim- inal cases.
 ''IE dealing with counsel for those accused he was eninently fair and generous. In private practice he was eminently successful. He loved his profession and this love increased in his latter years until it excludes nearly every other interest except his home.
 "As a man Galen A. Carter pos sessed the affection of all who knew 1 him closely and enjoyed to a remark able defree the friendship of men ir every station of life.
 t'His death brought to his fellow members of the Bar Association and to many outside the profession a very deep sense of personal loss. Pos sessing a vigorous personality a fine courage under physical handicaI which would have discourag ged the ordinary man, he brought to the Bal | of Fairfield, distinction and service. | "Resolved: That the foregoing 1 mem orial be entered upon record an6 certified copies be transmitted to the family of the deceased"

Beer Plank Means Strict Enforcement
Women Democratic Dele gate Credited With Out witting Platform Framers in Fight.

The Committee on Resolutions
 appointed on the opening night
 of the Democratic State Conven-
 ton at Foot Guard Hall, Hart
 ford, waged a long battle between
 themselves in the committee
 room at the Bond Hotel over the
 question of whether light wine
 and beer plank ought to have
 been put in the Democratic plat
 form.
 The light started shortly after the committee went into session at II D. n., and lasted until o'clock yes tel-lay morning, when the last plank in the platform was drawn. The New Haven delegation stood solidly for q light wine and beer plank and many of the other members of the commit tee were in favor of the plank. The women members of the committee are said to have objected strenuously against the plank as proposed by the New Haven members of the commit tee. Miss Caroline Rutz-Rees of Greenwich was a member of the com mittee on resolutions from the 27th Senatorial district.
 Despite the struggle put up by the New Haven committeeman for the plank the wiser minds of the commit fee blocked the plan.
 Town Chairman John A. Cornell, one of Bridgeport's members on the committee, 1e1C long DeIOTo Llle pat form was drafted. Bridgeport it Is understood d:d not favor one way or the other the light wine and beer plank Every one who had a pet idea for saving the nation attempted 10 have that idea put in the platform" Town Chairman Cornell slfd.
 Many Democrats say that if you read between the lines in the plank, relative to the revision of the Vol stead act you can see light wine and peer platform. but the leaders de- clare that the platform means mucn more stricter enforcement of the 18th Amendment
