DEMOCRATS FOR PROTECTIVE
 TARIFF, SAYS SPEAKER CITRON

! As the present attitude of the Dem. ocratic party is for protective tariff it practically means the elimination of this question from politics. Both parties are committed to a policy of protection, and there is no difference between the two parties today on this subject. Any considerations of this subject from an abstract theoretical standpoint or from historical view points are eliminated.
 There are, however, two phases of tariff, which would require con structive and progressive attitude, upon the part of either major party. l if they are ready solicitous for the best interests of the country.
 The first is the elimination of the present deplorable method of log rolling and favoritsm. As things work out now, the influential, power full industrial organizations procure tariff protection; the Ettle fellow, small industry, the one without pol itical influence, has a tremendous task Co present it's case. More tariff rates and schedules are taken care of ! in cloak-rooms or by means of deals between Congrcsmen, who are pulling for their favorite bills This may be true of any assembly. whether a Con- gress of Parliament, if they have the sole consideration of such a sub ject.
 i How to eliminate this evil is the Iproblem facing us.
 The Democratic party by taking a stand for non-partisan tariff f-commis- sion is accepting a constructive at titude. Such a fact-finding comssis- sion with quasi judicial powers of in- vestigation, etc., can hold hearings giving all industry, both large and small. an equal opportunity. Facts are presented in the open; and deci- sions are based on such published facts This avoids any special flaw oritisms in tariff matters eoncocted in secret.
 Pledges a Commission
 True enough, there is supposed to be some such present board: but fur ther legislation is necessary Co make it a living. non-partisan board; and it's existence and work must be based on a board of members, who are nom partisan and are willing to accept the.r responsibilities. lt cannot be a meaningless, intellectual organization the puppet of any party or persons. The Democratic party pledges itself to make such commission a reality, and one that is not such in name only
 The next problem of the tariff is preventing it's use by some large in- dustries for mere purposes of killing off less powerful competitors in this country and of preventing some from using it for eNploitive purposes. The interruptions and unconscionak!e sx- ploitation of the American people by any mopopelistic indusi~v was con, demned long ago by our former Presi-

No one quarrels with legitimate business, big or little, and surely the Democrats do not
 | Prosperity Is no issue. for all parties and people want prosperity. I would not impugn the good inten- tions of any person, whether Repub- lican or Democrat, and argue they threatened our prosperity.
 Prosperity is due to economic con- ditions. It depends on our resourc- es and their adaptability and also on the exertions. mental and physical, of people. IL has very little 10 do with politics. though once in every four years it bobs up suddenly. And peculiarly enough the other three years do not see prosperity and pol tiles walking arm in arm.
 Applause for Fenton
 Mir. Fenton was the last speaker. He had made an address earlier in the evening in Ashford and arrived while Mir. Citron was talking. There was applause as the Democratic nom inee for lieutenant governor mounted the platform.
 Mir Fenton told the audience that he is a Connecticut Yankee whose lforefathers had taken part in every war this country has been in. He was himself in the Spanish American War and a large percent of those with him were of the same religious belief as Governor Smith. He told of a Willimantic man, Polish man. who came to his office after it had been charged that the city of Willimantic was employing more foreigner" than Americans on city jobs. This man produced his record in the World War. It included the Distinguished Service Cross and the Congressional Medal, and a citation signed by Gen eral Pershing. He was more of an American than any K. K. K. that ever lived" shouted the speaker, and there was tumultuous applause.
 Mir. Fenton had the audience with him from the start and succeeded in stirring his hearers to high pitch of enthusiasm as he attacked the admin istratisn of Mir. Doherty, alluded to the Forbes incident and the oil scan dal. charging that Senators Fess and Moses tried to block the investigation and that Mrs. Willerbrandt went to New York to testify on behalf of Doh erty. He said the investigation was carried through by Senators Walsh of Montana and Jim Reed of Missouri who, "shamed them and forced them to carry it through"

Democratic Nominee For Con. gress Speaks at Length on
 Prohibition
Frank P. Fenton injeets Religion Be.
 fore Audience of 400

William NJ. Citron of Middletown, Democratic nominee for congress man from this district. spent twenty three minutes of an address lasting about twice that long, in arguing the prohibition question from the stand point of Democracy and candidate AL fred E. Smith, before an audience es- timated at approximately 400. at the Democratic rally in the State Armory, Thursday evening.
 The rest of the candidates speech was devoted to telling the assemblage that the Democratic party stands for protection, and always has. and that the protective tariff is not an issue of the campaign. But, according to the speaker, the Democrats are to have a more scientific method of fixing tariff duties. They propose to appoint a tar if commission and see to 1t that all complaints, from small as we'll as large manufacturers, are given attention and a remedy to protect the small as well as the large industry.
 The candidate for congress put Governor Smith beside George Wash ington, Abraham Lincoln. Thomas Jefferson, and said that he would go down in history as great as any of the great men of all time.
 He charged that Connecticut is as wet as the Atlantic ocean and that the middle west, singling out Iowa, is as wet as the east. He admitted that Herbert Hoover is a good engineer but charged that he is the mouthpiece of Secretary Mellon.
 Trade on Religion
 Following Mir Citron came Frank ?. Fenton of Willimantic. Mir. Fen ton launched out into tirade on the religion isssue. which. he charged had been injected by the Republicans, and SO appealed to the emotions of the audience that there was frequent ap- plause He read excerpts from arti- cles in which Elihu Root and Charles Evans Hughes had praised Governor Smith as an executive. and brought forth the oil scandal, the Forbes in- cident and Doherty's administration to the view of the assemblage.
 Before the speaking started St. Mary's Boy Scout Band, some forty members, gave an excellent concert and were warmly received. On the platform, backed with the national colors and picture of Governor Smith, sat Edmund Dubois chairman of the Democratic town committee, President Edward Girard of the Put nam Al Smith Club and Mir. Citron.
Putnam patriot., 1928-10-18

The program was opened by Mir. Du- bois in few words of welcome and congratulation at the large attend anee. Congressman Boylan did not appear. MT. Cltron was the first speak CT.
 l The candidate for congress told of the progress the Democratic party has made in Middletown and the re- cent landslide when nearly every local Democratic candidate was elect ed. He predicted a majority of l,500 for the national and state tickets next month and felt that Putnam would also be found in the Democratic column, where it was years ago and where it belongs" he Said.
 He then brought up the prohibition issue and dwelt thereon at length, saying that the Democratic platform and the Democratic candidate tells just where the party stands on that issue. The party stands for states rights and liberaliazation of the pro hibition amendment and the Voisted law. He then pointed out the evils Of prohibition and charged corruption of government officials in it's attempt ed enforcement. Ut is a question of bootleg liquor against good liquor, " he said. '.the rich man gets good uor." Governor Smith is the only man who has offered solution of the problem. All want temperance; no one wants the. saloon back.
 Mir. Citron then went into the mat ter of the telegram he sent to Mrs. Wilderbrant challenging her to. come into Conuectciut and tell whether there is an honest attempt at enforce ment of the prohibition law. He said Connecticut is wet as the Atlantic ocean and that Iowa is just as wet as newspapers throughout the country are controlled by one party or the other.
 Queries Congressman
 The speaker said he had asked Con- gressman Richard P. Freeman three questions but had failed to receive an answer. First, he asked if the con gressman believes in changing the eighteenth amendment and the Vol Isfed act, second, whether or not the congressman believes the best way to obtain such change is to vote for Governor Smith; third, what the con gressman has done by word or deed to see that there has been honest en- forcement in his district.
 Leaving prohibition Mr. Citron took up the tariff. He said in part:
 For Protection
 The Democratic party today stands pledged for a protective tariff for all industries, both large and small. This is expressed in the Democratic plat form. Governor Alfred E. Smith, the party candidate for president is eoHi- nitted to this. and. of course, l in- dorse this stand.
