 is no hope for change in situation disgraceful to democratic govern ment except by political upheaval, smashing all party barriers. Put other men to the front in the state republican organization; and the screen would still l there and the same man would be dictating through the screen. When did the state of Connecticut last have sov- ernor free to act on his own best judgment? Has there been any real governor since Simeon Baldwin? He was the last governor in the tra- dition of James E. English and Mar shall Jewell-the one a great dem- ocrat and the other great republi can. Do the citizens of Connecticut want another governor? Or are they ready to let the great office lapse? This is the main question in the campaign.
 necticut, those who know me know that shall be a governor in fact as we'll as in name, exertine all the powers conferred upon the office by our Constitution. They know that the affairs of the state will be ad- 1ninistered in accordance with the democratic principle of local self government. They know that l shall resist to the limit any attempt by the national government to invade the realm of those rights which are re- served to the states under the fed eral constitution. They know that as a democrat I could not be the gov ernor of any set. or any class, or any special interests, but the governor of all the people any one of whom Is declared by the constitution of the state to be equal to any other before the law. Business Reassured
 No business, wh4tever it's scope, whether local. or statewide, if le- ultimately conducted, need have the slightest fear of a democratic ad- ministration. If given adequate con- trol of legislation. laws which fail tc correct abuses of power that have arisen or that may arise, will be amended. Laws that oppress will be
 repealed. That this control may be granted, I ask every liberal minded
 citizen to vote in the coming election the straight democratic ticket.
 The duties Of a governor are be.
 coming every year more and more
 complex, owing to the rapid changes
 in social ideas. A large part of hi'
 work is above politics. Great social
 moral, educational and economic
 movements now animate the public
 as never before. They are at work 1T : the churches, in labor organizations !, in chambers of commerce, in club
 fessions. and always in colleges ant
 schools. The immediate aim is t free society of it's major ills so tha , life on this earth may be made hap pier by the mitigation of fear. Otter the means proposed for accomplish ing the end prove by experience [, , be wrong.
 New World to be Built
