| any democratic state which he nam | ed.
 He stated the democratic platform in saying that they promised to do away with the personal tax, and rec move the tax from unlncorporated businesses, and also to eliminate the gasoline tax. He stated that to get this revenue, the democrats would fofse the Connecticut Co, to pay approximately $aoO,oo0 in Taxes owed the state. Then they would have the state save many hundreds of thousands of dollars by taking the discount on it5 bills. Then they would place the states money in banks which would pay interest of per cent or more rather than put 1t into banks where the interest amounted to only 2h per cent as is, being done. He stated also that the provisions for the state institutions would be bought at wholesale price rather than at retail figures such as i5 now being done. He stated that a contemplation of these reforms would show a return more than enough 10 offset the elimination of taxes proposed.
 Former Congressman Augustine l.onergan proved the best speaker of the evening and he was applauded by the gathering at various stages of his talk.
 An inkling of the popularity in which he is held may be had by the fact that Mir. Brooks was forced to stop talking when Mir. Lonergan en- tered to await the cessation of the applause which greeted the former congressman. MT. ,Lonergan stated that the good book says By Their Deeds Ye Shall Know Them" and related the nullity of the present republican administration fin making laws and the powerlessness of the present occupant of the white house to have any constructive legislation put through congress because even his own party refused to work with him. He claimed that the corrup- tion of the republican party would more than offset the good members of the cabinet and said that the party could not claim Hughes, Mel Ion or Hoover and disclaim Daugh- erty, Fall, Denby or the appointment of Forbes to the Veterans Bureau. He made an excellent plea for Johnstone Vance of New Britain. the candidate of the democratic party tor congress and for the other mem bers of the state ticket and asked for the support of the people at the polls on next Tuesday.
 He was followed by Miss Adele Murray who addressed her remarks more to the women than to the men. Miss Murray drew a round of ap- plause by the alusion to Robert NJ, La Toilette, candidate of the third party for president. She said that she couldn't believe that he was a menace and she couldn't believe that man who has such record in the United States senate as has Mir. La Toilette, could be the men, ace that the republican party is try ing to paint him. She said that she considered the third party candidate a man of the finest type and a won- derful gentleman, and she stated that she was going to vote for Davis. She said that the women of the state without regard to party should take the fight of the children as their own and urged them to vote the democratic ticket as the only one through which they would hope to get child legislation.
 Mrs. Louise Day Duffy made strong plea for support of her can didacy. She spoke of the remissness of her opponent in not fighting against the bill which tended to take away the rights of West Hartford and give them to the legislature. She pledged herself to make her sole interest in the senate the education of the young and asked for support of the gathering for the democratic ticket
