educate their children and not only have money for necessities but for pleasures n we'll. .-.4. " The man we have chosen to work out our problems is the greatest liv- ing American-Herbert Hoover. We have not had tho privilege of voting for such man since Abraham Lin- coln."
 Hoover. the speaker asserted, has vision and courage and the ability to lead the country away from the menace of Tammany Hall" Mrs. Ruth Walther said that the presence of 70 many women was . demonstration of their political be- lief and. of the fact that Eve have something to brag about in the Woman's Republican club of New Britain. It is the finest in the state, barring none." She invited her hs- teners to visit the clubs home on West Main street and declared that the women were going to put New Hfttaln over.
 Tfunsb0ll Says State Is For G. O. P. Az Gov. Trumbull rose to speak, the Hoover Girls" sang . greeting and scaled several miniature air. planes over the heads of the diners a q tribute to his accomplishments as an aviator.
 I When he had expressed his com- 1 piiments to the club on the success of the barbecue, he turned to state affairs as conducted by republican administrations. He said Connecticut was . leader socially. industrially. politically and educationally. adding that his interest was not political but from the standpoint of good government. He said that running . state is similar to running a large corporation-the object being to get dollars worth for every dollar ex- pended. He reminded the audience that Connecticut does an ''annual business" of s3o.0oO,0Oo. He prais- ed officials in charge of state de- partments and said that the new budgeting system was working smoothly.
 Referring to the presidential cleo ton, Gov. Trumbull said: This state will go over the top for the repub- !ican candidates by a substantial ma jarity. This is also true of all the New England states. Connecticut will be found in the republican col unn as one of the staunchest sup porters of Herbert Hoover" LongwOrth Praises Fcnn Speaker Longworth complimented the Hoover Girls" and the repub- ltcan women workers He referred to the names of Hoover and Curtis spelled out on the girls dresses and said he had no doubt that Curtis was nominated chiefly because his name contained the same number of letters as Hoover's. He referred to the yeur 190l when his father-in- law the late Theodore Roosevelt. was running for the presidency against Alton B. Parker. saying that "R". which was the first or Roose- welt was the last of Parker. And IT., which is the first of Hoover. is also the last of smith", he said.
 As speaker of the house. he said. he had seen to it that the pledges of the republican party, when they were on their way to being enacted into legislation. were facilitated. In this work. he added. he had had tho assistance of Congressman F.. Hart Fenn of this district. You have | right to be proud of Fenn." he asserted.
 At this point Speaker ,I>ongworth's memory played him . trick. He was about to refer to New Britain as the "Hardwars Center of the World" but just as he was launched on that tack he was unable to name the particular industry with which New Britain is everywhere identi- ned.
 "New Britain is far famed as - -" he began. Then he paused and. whispered to one of the diners near him. Hardware. said the diner in a stage whisper" which could be heard half way across the lake. New Britain is far famed as the Hardware Center of the World, Longworth resumed. One Of my objects during this campaign is to see that the hardware industry and other industries are not ruined"
 Disowns Issue Of Religion
 Speaker Longworth affirmed his belief in the party system of gov ernment. T believe in a strong re. publican party. he said. T be- lieve also in . strong democratic party-not too strong. of course. But I hope the day will never come when political parties are formed on geographical. racial or religious lines. We republicans do not regard religion as disqualifyinE any man from public office. This, I am sure, is the position of every responsible leader of the republican party from our candidate for president down. If tho religious issue has been in jected into this campaign 1t is no fault of ours. If 1t continued to be projected, we can only deplore it."
 Taking up another point. Speaker Longworth said: There Is no danger in America of executive domination over your representatives in con- gress. The executive cannot dictate legislation. He can advise or he can veto and the bill can be passed over his veto.
