 Morris Address.
 The full address by Charles G. Morris candidate for governor, fol- lows:
 q wish to congratulate, first of all, MT. John Doughan, who has just been nominated as congressman from this district. He has before him an opportunity to be a useful servant, not to person, not to a selected few persons, not to a clique or party alone, but to this state and to this nation. AS a democrat he must never forget that those who would claim special privilege at the hands of government are subtle enemies of freedom. It makes no difference what name or title they wear, whatever they call themselves democrats or republicans or some- thing else, if they seek special privi- l lege they are public enemies-open or in disguise.
 State Taxes Increased.
 "The republican party has de- creased federal taxes but 1t has in- creased them in every state in which 1t has control. That may be played up in a campaign as being econo- Iny--but some of us feel like the general who was to that his army had won a victory and who replied, Yes, but with a few more such vic tories l shall have no army A little more of the same sort of republican economy and we may have no pri- yate property left to tax. Already about one-sixth of the annual earn- ings of the people of this country are absorbed by taxes which are ex- pended for maintaining our galaxy of republican governments.

Democratic Candidates Play Republicans-New Haven District Nomi- mates Doughan to Op- pose Tilson at Polls.

New Haven, Sept. 30 L49 - Every republican administration during the past fifteen years has increased ex- penses as well as taxes, except during he stringency of war time economy, Charles G. Morris. democratic candi- Hate for governor. stated last night In the opening address of his cam- paign, which was given at the third Congressional district convention in he Palm room of the Hotel Taft, at which John E. Doughan, former New Haven town clerk was nomin- bted to oppose John Q. Tilson, re- publican nominee in the forthcom- Ing campaign.
 Want Prohibition Repeal
 A platform favoring the repeal of the 18th amendment, condemning he action of the last congress in de- nying Connecticut the right to an additional congressman and one more vote In the electoral college in presidential elections, condemning the unequal quota in the Johnson Immigration act, and favoring a commission to control distribution hnd prevent profiteering in the event pf a strike or lockout was adopted.
 Mir. Morris who was the chief speaker of the evening following the convention launched an attack upon the present republican administra- tion both state and national and presented g. large chart showing how Expenses and taxes have mounted in Connecticut during the republican Administrations. The chart showed a falling off under the administra- tion of former Governor Simeon E. Baldwin, democrat who held office for two terms.
 More Independent Voters
 He alluded to a pronouncement from a servant of Connecticut's most high" recently to the effect that the latter has no use for the Independent voter. 'When we shall have no more independent voters" said Candidate Morris 'we shall have no more freedom" H. said he believed in party govern ment but that their true purpose was to lay down a governmental plan and program which would attract a majority of votes and no get such a strangle hold on the voter that he dares vote only ont party ticket.
 David A. Richman, of this city candidate for secretary of state also made his opening address a last nights convention.

reason they acted as a check on the tration. But every republican admin istration in this state for fifteen years both before and since has in creased expenses as well as taxes except during the stringency of war time economy.
 Refutes c. O. P. Calims
 "Our republicans friends joyfully declare that the state has lived within its income. If any Of you have ever had a son or daughter in college who may have had difficulty in living within fixed income you can see how easy it would have been for your children to live within their allowance had you only furnished them on the same general plan as the taxpayers of Connecticut have ! furnished it to the state"
 Are any of you of German an- | cestry so that you know the mean ing of the name Hohenzollern? That wa the German kaiser's family name and 1t means high taxes , i Here are wildly mounting high taxes in Connecticut. Do we need to ask who Is our Hohenzollern?
 From a servant of our most high came another pronouncement the other day besides the one on economy to the effect that he has no use for the independent voter.
 Independence of Voters
 From the very founding Of this nation its pride and its freedom have been rooted and grounded in the independence of it's voters. When we shall have no more independent voters we shall have no more free dom. The only government where the citizen who is independent of party is not an asset, is an au- tocracy. I believe in parties and party government. They are a ne- cessity and may be valuable or harmful according to what they do The true function of 8 political par ty is to propose a government pro- gram that shall so appeal to the intelligence of a majority Of the voters that they will support 1t; not to get such stranglehold on the voter that he dares vote only one party ticket. The independent vot' CT who thinks before he votes and then votes as he thinks. is the guar. dian of the liberty of a free people
 Some Voters q Menace
 "The dependent voter who vote: without thinking Is not only { menace to a free country but h. offers himself as a slave to whom
 soever may get control, by faiI means or foul, of the party namt which the dependent voter blindl! follows. If the independent citizen who uses all his powers and intel ligence and is ready to change hi
 party allegiance when it may seen desirable to do so in order to mak' : his state better. is an undesirable citizen, then George Washington and Nathan Hale were undesirable citizens and the tories of TIT must be idolized for clingins to tn party in power through thick anC thin without using their brains = We may play God to forgive thu s tories of 1776 and of today, but a . free men who think before ", vote, some of us cannot he taugh f to idolize them,'

Groups
ey VIVIAN WILKINsoN

NEW YORK, Dec. Qualification of
$50 organizations representing 10000
Filipino students, workers and BUSH
ness men in this country was planned
at the third quarterly convention Of
the Atlantic Philippine Federation
held here.
To counteract Propaganda.
To counterfeit propaganda against
Philippine independence and to look
after the economic and social welfare
of the Fllipinos in this country is the
purpose Of thesnew national organiza-
tions, to be known as the Philippine
Federation of America, according to
Jose L. Gonzales, secretary "Practi-
cally every Filipino in this country is
a member Of one of the $50 associa-
tons we plan to unite" he said.
Stir Up Trouble.
Conflicts, either real or imaginary,
between the mohammedan Moros and
the christian Filipinos are due to a
systematic campaign to create
trouble" declared Prof. /. Panglasique,
delegate to the convention. "As a
member of the educational survey
board, spent several months among
the Moros and found them friendly
and hospitable.
Missionaries to Blame.
THE American missionaries, in
their attempt to convert the Moros to
christianity, are among those respon-
sible for stirring up any trouble that
may exist. But even if a missionary
should sponsor Philippine national in
dependence while he is infthe field he
is forced to speak against it in this
country The pastor of my own
church was forced to resign for stand
ing for such independence"
Higinio Mendoza, president of the
convention and himself Moro, de-
clared: "There is no political con-
fict between the Filipinos and the
Moros. Any trouble which may have
arisen is due to missionary interfer-
ence in the political life of these peo-
ple."
Political independence which does
not improve the economic conditions
of the people as whole is not worth
fighting for" said Norman Thomas of
the League for Industrial Democracy.
"The Cantonese have developed an
economic policy along with their po-
litical revolution"
Three delegates were elected to rep
resent the Philippine Federation Of
America at the Philippine conference,
which will be held under the auspices
of the Fellowship Of Reconciliation
next February in Washington, D. C.
Those elected were ]. Rodriguez, M.
Osmina and Prof l. Panlasiqui
For Independence.
The following resolution was passed
unanimously by the convention:
Be it resolved. that we give our UNI
qualified adherence to the policies of
our official representatives in the gov
eminent, that we favor immediate and
absolute independence.
The next convention Of the Philip
pine Federations of America will take
place next January and 9 in Brook
lyn, New York.
