For Playing Dual Role-G. o. F.
 Campainers Deliver Message of
 Good VIII To Negro Electors.
 Last minute pressure was brought to bear on voters last night at ral- lies conducted by the republican and democratic parties. The for mer held public meeting at Gen. tral Junior high school and the lat ter conducted rallies at the A. NJ F. Zion church and Falcon hall, the speakers being the same at both places.
 Charles c. Morris, democratic candidate for governor, failed to appear at the Central school rally. At the rally in the A. M. E. Zion church the minister. Rev. L. r. Al ston said the church was a good place for political meetings and an nounced that posters on display would remain there during the serv- ices tomorrow.
 Democrats In Session
 Disappointing gathering that assembled at the Central Jun for high school in a democratic rally, the democratic candidate for governor. Charles G. Morris, failed to appear last evening. 4 miXup in the plans of the committee in charge of the affair prevented the candidate from making his appear ance and the chief speech of the evening was given by Attorney Da- vid NJ. Richman of New Haven, candidate for the office of secretary of state on the democratic ticket.
 Richman contented himself with launching an attack against the can didacy of Hiram Bingham for re- election as senator. Playing the re- publicans' attitude towards the state when he was sworn in as gov ernor after the death of Senator Brandegee. he said:
 T may be young and have Ideals that are not held by older ocice holders. I may be sentimental in my regard of Bingham's actions, but to me he violated sacred trust when he took the oath of office as governor. Making an empty mock cry of the binding nth. he waited 1 long enough to raise his hand be- fore those swearing him in-raised his hand to serve the state and the people of the state and then the very next day was on a train to Washington to be sworn in as sen- ator of the United States.
 "The republican party Is com- pletely dominated by the mailed fist of Henry J. Roraback," Richman stated, "and 1t is time that the un- healthy conditions existing in Hart ford are stamped out. Roraback is 8 powerful figure in the public utili- ties fields-he is the man that names the public utilities commis- sion. He is a heavy stockho,der in several large insurance companies he names the insurance commission. He is a director Of several large banks-ho names the bank commits sioner. Is that government of the people. for the people and by the people?"
 Richman paid tribute to Schuy- Ter Merritt of Stamford, saying that he was a logical contender for the position that Bingham filched but was not given the post as he was at loggerheads with Roraback and any one that was at loggerheads with Roraback was never heard from.
 The speaker also gave a history Of the party from the time Of Thomas Jefferson, outlining its national and state progress since the time of its inauguration. He averred that all voters are more or less creatures of habit and that tn" fact that a mans father or a woman's husband was a republican did not necessarily indi- cate that every one should be tag gcd with his party. He pointed to the oath taken at the time. of being sworn in as a voter and urged con- scientious voting by those present.
 Richman ended with;
 Here's to the state of Connecticut,
 The state of the nutmeg and shay, Where the Trumbulls serve only the
 Binghams
 And the Binghams serve only a
 day."
 The meeting was presided over by Judge William F. Mangan. who spoke endorsing Richman's candl- dacy. Other speakers of the evening were Atty. Henry J. Calnen, candi- date for congressman, and ex-Mayor Angelo M. Paonessa, who both urged complete vote on November 2.
 s. Gerard Casale gave an address as a rebuttal to Judge Benjamin filings defense of the 42 per cent loan interest system. He stated that the rate was exorbitant from every viewpoint and that 1t was hard on the man who had necessity to bor- row money. He asked the republican party at large that if claims that the state was enjoying prosperity were correct why would 42 per cent in- terest rate be necessary.
 Justifics Rallies In Churches
 Because men interested in poli- tics are seeking for truth and hunt ing for the best men to place in pub lie office, political rallies in churches are justified, Rev. l., F. Allston, pas tor of the A. M. E. Zion church told his congrega' or at the opening of a republican rally last night
 Judge B. w. filling, nominee for attorney-general who carried a per sonal message to the negro voters of New Britain from Senator Hiram Bingham, Mayor Weld, Senator E. F. Hall and Representative F. O. Rackliffe were on the speaking plat form. In the rear of the church. large posters urging the election of Governor Trumbull and Senator Bingham were conspicuously dis rJS1u t,, l,
