 In His First Plea of Campaign

on the strength of their experience, and if they are sportsmen they must admit that if only experienced men should be put into office, certainly ex-Congressman Lonergan should be supported over Col. Seymour re- publican nominee.
 Attorneys Hagcarty and Googel, who arc running with Councilman Macora, have been educated in schools and college for their profess sion and have the intelligence, the background and the qualifications for the offices they seek, Judge Man. gan declared.
 Crowd Waits for Cross
 Dean Cross did not reach the hall until 1925 o'clock, but practically the entire audience waited for him and gave him rousing reception. He spoke for 10 minutes, assuring his listeners that he was not poi- tician and could never be a machine man, but if elected he would see to 1t that a square deal was given everyone in the state regardless of race or creed. He would place com- potent men in office to help him take the government of the state out of the class of boss domination, and he would keep them there.
 He referred to the remarks of which he was the butt at the hands of republican speakers recently. es- pecially when they said there would 1o ,,@ L. .l,a vember f." There was man in the worlds history, he said, to whom universal respect is accorded and who is worshippcd, and He had i cross to shoulder with no set date for setting it down. "That," he said, in silence which was impressive, Twas not a happy allusion."
 In facetious vein. Dean Cross | told of having been referred to by republicans as acting like blind man in a darkened room trying to | see a black cat, and he wondered i whether they referred to his recent caution in stepping off the road on dark night when his flashlight re- vealcd a form in his path, which, on 1 investigation, proved to be an ami | nal other than a cat.
 Believes in Democratic Party | In his campaign, he said, he has | spoken to many audiences, among | them republicans, and he did not hesitate to say that he was a dem- ocrat, a believer in the principles of | Inf q 0f 1,n party. He felt qualified to fill the ! high office of governor and in re- | ply to implications as to his age he said he was only four years older l than his republican opponent and i was born only few hours before l Charles Evans Hughes, who was re- 1 gently appointed chief justice of the supreme court of the United States. In conclusion, he wished the audi ence "a happy election and good night'
 EX-Congressman Lonergan paid a 1 high compliment to former Mayor | Paonessa and urged that the voters support him for the office of coun- ty sheriff. He called him a second 1 Danny Dunn," Danny Dunn having served for 10 years as mayor of Will i limantic. He was a diamond in the rough; one of the most lovable men it has been my privilege to know he said. We think a lot of Angelo Paonessa in the democratic party and 1 believe he more nearly ap- breaches the late Danny Dunn than any man I have ever known"
 He also made an appeal for sup port of Judge Mangan's candidacy and pointed out that when Judge B. F. Gaffney was elected judge of probate in 1904 he was practically Judge Mangan's present age. Judge Gaffney was eminently quanfied for the office and the same qualities Of the heart, the mind and the training that have been his are possessed by l Judge Mangan. "One of the first friendships I made when l began the practice of law in 1902 was that oi Judge Gaffney" he said, and we have been honored to receive into the profession of law in Connecticut the splendid family of three sons and to know the beautiful daugh- ter"
 BIames Hoover for Depression
 The former congressman laid the blame for the business depression al the door of the Hoover administra. ton and charged that the diversion of nine billion dollars from the fed. eral reserve system to bolster up z false stock market was on out-and out abuse of that system. It resulted in the stock market crash because the market was like house of card: erected on foundation of quick sand, unable to withstand the wind
 The failure of President Hoover tt control his congress was like tean of horses running wild when the driver lost hold of the reins, he said Congress made $40 changes in the tariff laws. setting up a barrier which resulted in retaliation by the Dominion of Canada and othel countries until the General Motors Corporation, Henry Ford, the Fullel Brush Co. of Hartford and the Bo1 Ami plant in Manchester found i advisable to set up plants abroad tt escape the heavy tariff charges i'm
 posed by the governments the United States antagonized througl
 the tariff barrier
