Morris Attacks Legislative TaC- tics in Recent Court Decision

New Haven, July 30 P}-Demo- crats assailed the republican party last night at a banquet held under the auspices of the New Haven Democratic Womens clubs and each of the speakers pointed to the mess made by the recent McCool decision in the supreme court of er- TOTS Charles G. Morris, former can- didate for governor of the democra- with pride on the McCook decision although. he said. Roraback of the republican party is quoted as putting the blame entirely on democratic administration
 Says Action Deliberate
 He charged the legislative mem- hers of 1915, that were responsible for puttinss through the constitu- tional amendment, with deliberately holding back that session of the general assembly, so that farmer members would leave before the ses- sion closed and then railroading the bill through. He declared that it was common rumor that any bill passed after tie middle of June was ipso facto and was subject to sus- picion. Morris said that a common method of the republican machine was to hold bills at the general as sembly until the last few days of the session and then turn them loose. It IS impossible for the legislators to properly study the contents of the bills owing to lack of time. Morris said,
 State Chairman James J. Walsh of Meridcn, also attacked the re- publicans for the mess" they got the state of Connecticut into and also J. Henry Roraback for having attempted to bring the late ex-Gov- ernor Simeon E. Baldwin into the controversy by trying to shift the responsibility on him.
 Walsh declared that even during the last session of the general as sembly republican leaders adjourned 1t five or six weeks earlier than was advisable.
 Says Roraback Statement Sunk
 He characterized the statements made by Roraback, regarding the decision in the McCook case as being bunk" Walsh promised his hearers that the 13 democrats in the senate. will see to it that no law will be repassed. at the coming spe- cial session of the general assembly. unless it has merit in it.
