press and of various individual trades
and industries and went into a renewed
study of the general political situation

Expressing his appreciation to the
group of trades and industrial repre-
Sentatives, the nominee welcomed the
members of his own engineering profess
sion and called to their attention the
new relation of Government to business.
THE presence of representatives of
the business associations here takes me
back over seven years of work in the
Department of Commerce where we
have endeavored to carry on with you
many enterprises in the public inter-
est" he said.
Federal Cooperation Cited.
''That work has been carried out
through cooperation by the Govern
ment representing public interest with
representatives of various business
groups of the country in the further
ance of matters which are in public
interest.
Ut Is in fact a new relationship of
government to business, I feel that
through 1t We may avoid q vast amount
of interference of the Government with
business through voluntary cooperation
of business associations to correct
abuses. to further public interest
through the examinations of wastes and
Sterilization of employment. and in a
thousand other directions"

Bingham Gives Views.
women particularly are out in force, !"
he said in discussing registration. Their
determination to get out and register
exceeds anything since the nineteenth
amendment went into effect And there
Is no question but what the women of
Connecticut, as everywhere else, are for
the Republican ticket this time. They
recognize in both our candidates men
who have been active in their interests.
Connecticut is close enough to New
York for the voters of our State to have,
had an opportunity to observe the wildly
extravagant spending in New York
State and city, making necessary ire
mendous new bond issues and increased
tax rates.
Most of the people in Connecticut
are opposed to such q policy Our plan
has been to pay as we 60 and to observe
policy Of economy in both State and
local government, the hard common
sense Of our people sees only folly in the
growth Of expenditures under Gov.
Smiths regime In New York
Ours is a protective tariff State and
therefore normally Republican, and
strongly so. The people are suspicious
OF the new Democratic tariff doctrine
and are prepared to back the Repub-
hcsn ticket on the tariff as well as
other issues"
