 Why, the party isn't together at all" said Governor w. ". Brandon of Alabama last night in discussing the republican party before a gath ering of 500 people In Red Mems hall at the first big democratic rally under auspices of the local town committe this year. He explained the pulling one way by congress and the senate with the opposite attitude of President Coolidge, He launched a scathing denunciatlon of the re- publican administration on the tariff and other issues. He declared that the people of the United States had been f1eeced out of four billions of dollars by an unsatisfactory tariff, money which was vitally needed at home.
 The panics were all under repub- lican regimes, asserted the speaker. who challenged anyone in the audi ence to show differently. He con- tinued that the democratic party was accused of many errors Of omis- sion, especially of having done noth- ing for labor. He combatted this statement, saying that the party had done more for labor than any other party or group and had provided the full dinner pail. The democratic party has always stood for all of the people, said Governor Brandon and great constructive measures have been passed under its power, notably under the late Woodrow Wilson.
 Home of Nucleus
 Paying a splendid tribute to the womanhood of the country, Cover nor Brandon went on to say that the home was the foundation of the nation as he declared no community is stronger than its home, and no county is stronger than its city and no state is stronger than it's coun- ty. The weakest home is the test of strength, he declared. No matter what 1t might be or where it might be, the American home is the coun- try's foundation, repeated the speak CT.
 T find up here" said Governor Brandon in discussing politics in New England, that when they speak of a democratic candidate for office, they ask: How will it affect busi- ness" This apt comparison brought forth gales of mirth,
 "The Convention Call"
 The audience was delighted when Governor Brandon shouted the call, of the national democratic conven- ton in New York, which has made him famous the country wide, of Alabama casts twenty-four votes for Oscar W. Underwood" He ex- pIained that Alabama cast her votes for Mr. Underwood because of his fine work on the tariff question. When later, the governor said, he was asked to swing his delegation strength to the Davis standard he felt that he could do so without the least fear of censure from home.
 "To Know Thcm."
 Taking for his text, the Biblical quotation, By their fruits, ye shall know them" Governor Brandon rapidly sketched the administration of the republican party of the last four years, rapping Silent Cal" as he termed President Coolidge and declaring that the country could go no farther under the leadership of the c. o. r. Now is the time to change, said the speaker and cited the fine record of the democratic rarty. He said that the party in power was responsible for all the errors of omission or commission, despite the many efforts to evade he blame. He continued that all must unite as none could afford to liffer on principles of honest gov-- ,rnment, which the republican party vas accused of not having given.
 "All Sewed Up"
 Predicting that the change was imminent Governor Brandon said, We've had an election already town in Alabama. so we're just waiting to bring up the ballots" This evoked much laughter and applause.
 Miss Murray Presides
 Miss Adele Murray of Berlin was ,hairman of the first rally. Her in- reductions of the speakers kept he audience at highly responsive mood throughout the evening. She made strong plea for the support 'f Mrs. Louise Day Duffy Of West Hartford, senatorial candidate from he fifth district, saying that the of the state needed the rep ! esenation which Mrs. Duffy could tive them, Miss Murray asserted
