SECRETARY WEEKS AND
THE DIRECT PRIMARY

(From Speech by Senator Norris
(Rep., Neb.), June 16, 1927
Secretary Weeks was elected to
this body by the legislature of Mas
Sachusetts. While he was here the
Constitution was changed and the first
time the people of his state got
chance to vote in his case when he
ran for reelection they defeated him.
Weeks, for the President has eX-
pressed some of the views given by
Secretary Weeks. particularly his
opinion of the agricultural bloc. Ac-
cording to the Presidents newspa per
mouthpiece, which as often stat es Mr..
Harding's opinions in advance as it
reflects them; and in both cases with
great accuracy. Secretary Weeks told
the truth This says the Washington
Post:
"One of the reasons why Congress
is under well-nigl universal criticism
is because of the dema goey and cow
ardice of Congressman, and the evil of
the block system, which seeks advan-
tages for classes as against the whole
community
The Post then labels and Classics
ticians) are demagoeues they will at
tack such men as Secretary Weeks
who is cooura geous enough to tell the
truth"
Republican Floor Leader Mondell
who is about as reactionary as Secre-
tary Weeks. but more adroit in con-
cealing it in some matters, calls the
secretary's speech "sophomo ORIG"

Remington Sale
toGeneral Electric
Confirmed Today

Confirmation of the sale of the
Remington Arms plant on Boston
avenue to the General Electric Com
pany was made today by a represen-
tative of the Bridgeport Liquidation
Company.
The latter company was incor-
porated over two years ago for
S45o0,0OO, having $4,000 shares of
capital stock, par value 500. Since
its incorporation the value of the stock
has twice been reduced and the sur
plus money distributed among the
stockholders the largest of whom are
Chauncey B. Carver, J. F. Dempsey
and Walter K. Earle all of New York
City.
About two years ago the plant
owned by the Remington Arms COM
pany was purchased by the Bridge
| port Liquidation company. The
money involved in the transaction
| was about S4,250,00O.
| A short term lease, about three
years, was given to the General Elec-
| trio company of Schenectady, New
York, who have operated the plant
for nearly two years with the opinion
to buy the factory. This option has
been taken by the General Electric
Company at reported price OF
S3,300,000.
The buildings of the company were
assessed on the grand list of last year
by the city for $2,270,6s1. The prop
erty was assessed for $3.50, 270, max
ing a total amount of 1851, 461.

Insurgents In
b. Democrat Ranks
To Hold MEETINGS

Dissatisfaction over the awarding
of jobs by Democrats leaders is said
to have caused a little revolution in
the party and insurgents will hold
in the various districts to
to belittle the administration
and the present town chairman, it
was learned on good authority today.
These meetings will be held next
week, it was said and after sentiment
is stirred up, if it can be, a huge
mass meeting will be held to organize
an independent party of Dem crats
here. That insurgents of the Third
district held a meeting last week was
confirmed today. The insurgent
leaders in the Third are Thomas
Bray and George Butko.
The talk of revolution in the
party was common at City Hall to-
day but was taken with a grain of
salt. 1t is believed that the matter
will be settled amicabfy. Town
Chairman John A. Cornell, Jr., has
been notified of the movement, it was
said today, and he will return early
next week from his vacation in the
Catskills to take the matter in hand.
Alderman Eugene C. J. Kelly said
that the most of the insurgents were
disgruntled job seekers.
