man, while he may have done soot for his party has outlived his useful ness We expect you people In New Haven to help us along in the work.
 Tribut to Mrs. Ullman. Too.
 The Rev. James McGee. pastor O Calvary Baptist church, paid, $ splendid tribute to Col. Ullman anc also to Mrs. Ullman who was presen at the dinner. He explained that the meeting had no political signincanc, for him, but that he would consider himself in sorry plight If he coulc number his friends only among thos. in the democratic party.
 Ttlson Speaks.
 One characteristic of Col. Ullmar which was emphasized by Cong Tison, in his remarks, was devotion to his cause and 10 his friends He took emphatic exception to those whom he said speak highly of the colonel with regard to his civic endeavors. when he is leading a drive for the Community Chest, or raising money for a hospital but who, when he expresses his honest opinion in politics. begin to shake their heads"
 Give me the man who makes mistakes and who makes enemies" he said. because in the making of mis- takes and the making of enemies he is doing things that are worth while. . Cong. Tison made plea for high CT respect for politics. declaring that 1t was one of the most important things which should be given the at tention of the public. He said that the people should see to 1t first. that they get the best of men for public office and secondly, that these men should stand upon the principles for which they were elected.
 Should Stand By Schools.
 New Haven is cosmopolitan city A goodly portion of the children of school age are born abroad and very large portion are in the first gen eration of those whose parents were born abroad. Any Americanization work that doesn't provide for the best sort of American education means nothing, in my opinion, and if money is required any place, we should not take it away from the schools, but should see that these are kept up to the very highest standards.
 The present administration de serves credit for having made an appropriation for the zon- ing commission. The work of this commission Is very important, and believe this means much for the fu- ture development of the city.
 Showed Plan for Future.
 The city ought to lay its plans for years to come, and I should like to see much more use made of the pow CTS of the City Planning Commission The city should plan years in advance. guard jeaously the heritage of the city, and see that the city develops along the lines best for its future growth. Let's all pull together, re- gardless of politics for the best in- terests of our city.
 Our great civic charities are non- i partisan, but l recognize in front of 1 me the faces of many of those who i by their efforts and their contrjSu- t possible to place New Haven in | he enviable position 1t has occupied, | not only during the war, but since | he war.
 Col. Tllman Replies.
 Col. Ullman's address in part fol- | l. ur so-called best citizens say that hey would have nothing to do with politics. This is just as much a mis- ake as though they would say they would have nothing to do with the Chest, Red Cross, hospital york, or any other great civic move 1ent.
 T the hands of it's citizens, and the ast majority of citizens are at cart good citizens, and every body hould do his or her share towards 1aking this ity-this-state-an UT beloved country the best on earth nd If everybody would contribute his r her fair share of time and effort; here is no question as to what would ccur.
 Some Good Work.
 We are told that an effort is eing made to enroll republicans n the primary lists. This is good york. The country is ruled by the rimaries and caucuses and every ody should be on the primary or aucus list, and in addition to being n the list, should actually take part n the work.
 The larger the vote, the better for he party. and if it is better for the arty it is better for he country.
 T have preached this same doc rine for a great many years and m glad to see that there are others vho do not feel as I do, but who re actually working to accomplish he same object.
 Sorry It Is Necessary to Hire
 "I surely appreciate and welcome he work that Is being done in this I am rather sorry to ee that it Is necessary to hire peo- le to canvass for these names-as he getting of names on the list, both pr caucus purposes and for election urposes, should be privilege-a uty-and an obligation in this coun- ", and 1t would not be necessary to rge people by paid solicitors to do 1eir duty.
 T have always dreamt of the day hen it would be possible to enact law compelling everybody to vote, -ith the alternate penalty of the
