 Tilson and Acorn Nidctrarkcd
 Failure Of +hc republican matjou- ui convention to nominate Congress- an John .. TiISon for vice prc~i- dcnt was laid by the speaker tr ';oraback. as "as aIao tho failure o' President Hoover to name States .tuorncy Hugn M. hIcorn as aa. ia- rent attorUcy-Srucr1l.
 Professor Lcvitts speech follows,
 "For the first time in his career h" chairman Of the rcpublic:D tate central committee has thought advisable to make T public d f. ugc of his political machine and is activities. This defense was in '." nature Of an interview 10 tin" .u'tcd Press and published in the NarIous ncWSplpcrs Of the state. Th" defense is StrdiEhtfol ward. It is honest. The language i% clear direct md definite. The meaning is SiInpir. |. is tho doicns" Of H dictator cop sliou. Of his power, secure in h,- position and contcmptuous Of any opposition which may arise. IL aE- plains Hs nothing else could the ar r7gant sclf-cXaltation of executive "nd administrative officials a' Hartford. Like master like man. It shows why Il is that the simple cItl- son and taxpayer of our state Whp LOGS to talk with an official at the tapitol, in the almost naive bclict that the official is the servant of he people who elect him and pay lis salary, finds himself in the pres "Ecc, not Of Il servant. but o' q OninccrinG OvcrlOrd who resent inc presence ot the taxpayer as aG Irtrusion. considers honest inquiric, us inpcrtiucnt and irrclevanr and uOcs not hcSIt ItG 10 tell the inquirer that what goes on in Hu admins native office is none Of his buSi- rcSs.' Mr. HorHbach finds no fadlt ln his honChmcn, He secs 10 harm in hls own activities. Tn genuine implicitly of spirit he has adopted Ihc political faith of King Louis tho ] ourtccnth Of France who sad: I ,Ut the State Mr. EorabJck honcy,- r. believes he js the State Of Cou- u.cticut. All that there is in tItr .,at" Of Connecticut territory. pc1- l". the legislature. executive and administrative officials belong. and C. right should belong. to hlIh.
 Opposes E;orabacL Philosophy
 'I am utterly opposed to inc po,,. lltal philosophy which controls Mr. EorabacN. I believe in the Consti- 1rtiou of the State of Connecticut, 1 believe that the Constitution .,i inc Stltc of Connecticut means hat 1t says when it states that 'ao l.i''I pI s'.l VI lll'Il rI' titlItlth Np exclusive rmoiumcnts or privileges rom the community TO me tnc State Of Connecticut consists of the people of Connecticut. It docs not consist Of T foreign owned and di. IrCtcd public utility ma"uatc. B. cause ithis 1 wish 10 discnas the defense which Mr, l;orahack has
 l., {, |, ehoW, as l think ! can, that 1t is false in fact and untrue 10 the spirit ot our constitution. l shall quote his language exactly as if is reported. l snail not distort it nor deal with t out Of its rontc%'. Ont of his own mouth comes tho proof of his &uil.. lis language is general 50 specific GctaiIs arc Gison by him. | shnlI lest his general language by specific 0,tails.
 "Mr. I;oraback says: One part control is not dangerous when t!,, party has the public W"lfur" as l'~ constant aim This represents hi~ political rhilosophy. am opposed to that political phIoSophy History las shown that onc-party control always means as soon as that con 1ro is established that those m actual power, tho.c who have con- trol of the mechanism of GoNeru- mcnt, cease to thin. about the DUO. lie welfare. Onc-partN control be- rcmc5 one-m1chinc control. They think only of their own profits. l They use their power for tholr oN1 gain. Mir. I,or1buck's s own acti'itlIS | il this state prove my assertion. The history of the development of Inc Connecticut Electric Service | company of which he is the he'd | shows tAat the consequence Of one | machine control. That history ls |
