Nominates Freeman
As soon as nominations were called
for Morris Lubchansky, a New Lon
don lawyer. was recognized. He made
nominating speech in which he laud-
ed the candidate for his excellent rec
ord. ending by placing in nomination
Hon. Richard p. Freeman. There
were 10 other nominations. As soon
as the formality of declaring the NOM
ination unanimous was over COM
mittee was appointed to escort the
nominee to the hall While the com
mittee was out, Ernest L. Rogers,
state treasurer, entertained with a
brief address.
There was applause as the nominee
entered the hall and took his place on
the platform. When the applause sub
sided Congressman Freeman delivered
the following speech:
"Mr. Chairman. delegates TO the
Congressional convention:
"In accepting the honor Of this re-
nomination for representative in Con-
gress for the Republicans of the sec
ond congressional district, | would
first express my thanks 70 you, one and
all. The scriptures tell us that II is a
pleasant thing TO give thanks, and
from the way am feeling at this par
ticular moment, | am sure the scrip
lures are quite right about it. ! prize
greatly your continued confidence and
steadfast loyalty. In the life of a
congressman, the opportunities for
public service bring to him both pleas
ure and satisfaction comes from the
friendly support and active eo-opera-
ton he receives from the folks at
home. In these, you have always been
generous towards me, and | appreci-
ate your attitude and thank you for It.
Comforts and Joys
my friends, you and | are conscious
of the fact that an unusually active
presidential campaign is upon us. The
Democratic party seems TO have under
gone regeneration, and to have deter
mined on a strenuous political battle.
Let us welcome the attack and at the
same time prepare to repeal il success
fully Our service record is one we
can pride ourselves on.--and just as a
fine performance one night insures a
good attendance the next night--so we
can count on the support of the cleo
torate in November, because what we
have done is the best guarantee of
what we will continue TO do. The de-
gree of prosperity the whole country
enjoys-and compared with conditions
everywhere else we are indeed fortu-
nate--is the direct result Of our Re
publican policies. The voters of this
country will never throw away the
comforts of home and the joys Of work
for anything the Democrats may offer
in exchange.
"As for our leader, in Herbert
Hoover we have not only one of the
best any political party ever had, but
one of the greatest as well. He has
the heart and the brain and the viii TO
serve us. The American people are
wise enough TO realize that no ADLER,
no kinder burden-bearer could possibly
compare with him. Big problems have
been his daily portion ever since he
was young man. At first they cen
tered around self, but in time they
came 10 have wonderfully wide
reach, completely submerging self.
With his master mind studying our
serious national problems, we are con-
fident that not just some way out but
rather that the best way out possible
will be found and adopted. We are
conscious that for such a cause and
such leader, nothing short of abso-
lutte and perfect loyalty on our part
viii do, and this loyalty we of the sec
ond congressional district freely pledge
and guarantee"
