cali attention to the fact that in a great many states, in the south as well as the north, we have had democratic executives and legiti- mate business interests-with the accent on, legitimate--have had nothing to fear from these demo- cratic administrations" Roosevelt ss .son the contrary. take New York state as an example. We have ,had q democratic administration tconstantly in power since 1922 and during that time the actual busi- ness of government has been sim piified and made responsible, which it wasn't before. We have effect- ed very great savings to taxpayers. Since I have been in Albany, the tax burden has been equalized and the financial structure of the state ..government has been put on a .sounder basis"
 ' Roosevelt expressed the belief that business men in New York have developed, in the nine years sof continuous democratic occup- ancy of the governors mansion, a .confidence in democratic party exe- cutive ability. He feels that New York state affords a good test. It inciudes the leading financial cen- ter of the world, and Is the nerve center of the country's economic system.

Smith Made
 Strong Appeal Principal Speaker at Meet ing in New York Last
 Night

Probably Waterbury's Mutual Unemployment Aid Fund is sub stantially the same as the Com munity Chest in other cities, where large sums are being collected and distributed for the benefit of those who are suffering on account of the long dull period.
 Those. who listened to Alfred Smiths address in New York last night could not help being impress ed with the logic of the speakers treatment of the question. He made a strong appeal to people who have something to >spare 1t with their less fortunate fellow be- ings, and made good use of the story of the good Samaratin, and the Masters admonition to go and do likewise. urged his hearers to govern their conduct in accordance with 1t.

into problems of agriculture, bank ing, insurance, old age pensions, education, health. and taxes the business world always has a deh- mite representation"
 It is evident that not only Roose- welt but other party leaders are eager to break up early any feel ing that the democratic party is inimical to business. Prospective candidates suggested as possible rivals to Roosevelt for nomination are men of conventional economic views-Newton D. Baker, and Gov- ernor Albert c. Ritchie. The elder statesmen of the party have hid den the mantle of the radical" William Jennings Bryan. Cover nor William (Alfalfa Bill) Murray is left as a lonely voice in the wild erneE, unheard by the dominating insiders of the party in the east. Bernard M. Baruch, New York financier and counsellor of the party leadership in Washington, only this week advanced an eco homie program designed to give greater opportunities for business, @ program to which many con- servative republicans could sub- scribe. It involved opposition to debt cancellation, lowering of the tariff only where other nations come down approximately, and easing of restrictions ofs the anti trust laws. He is an important influence behind the candidacy of Ritchie, as are others who feel slightly uncertain whether Roose- welt Is Friendly enough toward business.
 Roosevelt Is following the prece- dent of Alfred E. Smith in lodging discussion of presidential politics. When the subject Is mentioned he turns dumb, if not deaf. His can didacy is taken for granted here as everywhere else, despite an insist ence around the state house that he is not thinking of anything now beyond his present Albany job.
 He is one of the most active gov- ernors New York ever had. Though handicapped by lameness, he 'can wear out his staff on 8 days cam- paigning. He travels more than any other governor, and stands 1t well.
 On walking into his office, one sees a smiling face. still youthful. on a set of athletic shoulders. A pleasant, alert. confident, chatty person. Stricken nearly ten years ago with infantile paralysis. he re- covered, reentered politics, was elected governor at the same time Smith was beaten even in his own state, was reelected by a smashing

According to Mrs Cobb's latest version, her husband, who often had threatened to commit suicide, did so after hurling her down the cellar stairs. Mrs Cobb, severe in- jury at the base of her skull, her right eye battered. and her body covered with bruises, was under treatment at Ducy hospital here to-day She will recover, doctors said.
 Though the woman was under police guard, she had not been formally arrested.
 During the night Mrs Cobb re- mained in what authorities de- scribed as a drunken stupor. When she regained consciousness this morning she was told of her hus- bands death and became hysteri- cal.
 Later Dr W. c. Ducy, head of the hospital, quoted her as saying that she and her husband had quarrelled violently for a week.

shots were fired during the demon stration which Sheriff Willis B. Crosby described not as rioting but as "just insubordination."
 Soon after the re-enforcements appeared at the jail the dozen striking" inmates went to the stone pile and began work.
 Sheriff Crbsby's office denied re- ports that three jail guards were "beaten up" during the demonstra- tion.
 "There were only two guards at the jail when the trouble occur red," 1t was said, "and neither was attacked or in any way hurt"
 The first hint of imminent trouble came at the breakfast hour. After the meal about 40 prisoners went to the stone pile and resumed the breaking activities which have been in progress about four weeks.
 A dozen others, under the lead ership of Paul Thibodeau and John McQuiron, serving short sentences as bootleggers." announced 1t was too cold to work outside and re- fused to budge.
 Sheriff Crosby noted that the temperature was 50 above and in- formed the group that they would have to brave the weather.
 The demonstrators were sur!y but not violent, according to the sheriff, and made no attempt to escape. Prisoners of the jail are allowed unsual liberties, and often are permitted to wander in and out of their cells at will.
 None of the Striking" inmates was armed and all seemed content to remain in the jail as long us they didn't have to work.
 A total of SC prisoners are con fined to the jail but only about 55 have been working at the stone pile.
 After today's demonstration had been quelled Sheriff Crosby said he anticipated no more trouble. He said the two leaders probably would not be disciplined unless they become insubordinate again."
