In THIS STATE
Former Mayor of Stam-

tude of Gov Cross at
Chicago = But All Are
for Roosevelt

Hartford, Conn, July 6.-(UP)-
Echoes of dissension between Con-
necticut Roosevelt and Smith sup
porters, started at the democratic
national convention, continued to
reverberate today. Former Mayor
Alfred N. Phillips, Jr, of Stamford,
one of the most ardent supporters
of Alfred E. Smiths lost cause,
charged Governor Wilbur L. Cross
and members of the new guard"
faction who backed Franklin d.
Roosevelt, with political bullying
and Intimidation"
Action of the governor in over
riding a. majority of the delegation
and declaring Mrs Fannie Dixon
WEIGH, Roosevelt partisan, elected
national committeewoman was the
cause of much bitterness among
the returned democrats. The
Smith group, which controlled the
delegation and apparently is in the
majority in the state, felt mas
much as they had elected Roose-
velt's friend, Archibald Mcneil of
Bridgeport for another term as ma
tional committeeman, the commit
teewoman post should have gone
to Smith adherent. However, de-
spite acrimony and disappointment
engendered at the convention, both
factions seemed to be united in
support of Governor Roosevelt's
candidacy.

ton. Whether for or against the
18th amendment and the Volstead
act, the committee at the Elton is
DESTROYS of receiving all ballots
possible.
Mrs T. I. briggs. one Of the well
known Waterbury society women,
cast her ballot to-day and declared
that she believed that the task
undertaken by the Hotel associa-
ton and the National Alliance Is
one OF the greatest things on rec
ord to test the actual opinions
of the people.
The voting booth in the lobby
of the Elton, which opened at 10
o'clock. this morning and which
closes every night at 9 o'clock, was
crowded most of this morning and
early this afternoon and q sub
stantially large vote had been cast.
All registered voters in the city
and vicinity as well as those trav-
cling through who are electors,
are eligible to cast ballots. The vot-
err merely signs four post card ball
lots addressed to United States Sem
ators Bingham and Walcott and
Congressman E. w. Goss giving
their stand for or against the 18th
amendment and the Volstead act.
The ballot is a direct one. The
results will be sent directly to the
Washington solons representing
Connecticut in the senate and in
the house. The procedure is very
simple. Merely sign the four cards
and the job is done. 1t is consid-
cred that this poll is the most
authentic obtained in Waterbury
since the drive for public opinion
on the "dry" and wet" question
has been underway.
Mayor Frank Hayes OF Water
bury was among those who early
this afternoon cast a ballot at the
voting booths of the Alliance and
the Hotel association. More lead
ing Waterburians are expected to
follow suit.
The booths will remain in the
Hotel Elton lobby for a week but If
the demand for more ballots con-
tinues the committee, under Mr.
Millions direction. will extend its
stay here. as long as possible in
order to accommodate everybody
desiring to vote. "Wet or. dry, we
want everybody's opinion, de-

wisdom that fortified him against
any deportation move by immigra-

backed by legal advice, slowed
away at San Juan, Porto Rico, for

raised by the crew, but he found
balm in the knowledge that Ellis
Island could not detain him. When
his ship arrived, immigration
agents boarded it. Jerome was
turned ,over to them.

Then he told them Of consulting an

DON'T
QUOTE ME

Washington, July Gu. P.) -
If individual popularity among
members of congress spelled sue
cess in national elections. Speaker
of the House John Nance Garner
would be unanimously elected to
the vice presidency to which he
aspires on the democratic ticket.
Garner, a poker-playing ex-cow-
boy from the plains of Texas, has
a remarkable hold upon the affec-
lions of his colleagues.
Yesterday, taking the char for
the first time since the democratic
convention in Chicago made him
the party nominee by reclamation,
he was saluted by a roar of ap-
plauSe.
Republicans and democrats
joined. Minority Leader Bert"
Smell, political foe but personal
friend, left his seat in the republic
can benches to personally shake
Garner by the hand and extend his
congratulations.
AS the house appIauded his en-
trance, Garner vaiilly raped for
order. The more he raped, the
louder grew the shouts. The CALLER
les joined in the demonstration. The
shrill ''yip yip', Of the cowboy
merged with the easplitting rebel
ye1l' as enthusiastic southerners
paid tribute to their partys NOM
inee.
Garner is rather vague concern
ing his plans for the campaign af-
ter house adjournment.
His friends insist that he must
rest-"a good long time"-on his
Texas ranch before undertaking ac-
tive campaigning.
The speaker himself freely adj
smits that even his robust health
has suffered from the long and tur-
bulent session of the present con-.
gress.
Garner has been the democrat
tic boss in the house and has done
more than his share in building the
efforts of the party in the senate.
Recently he was sent to bed under
physicians orders, suffering from a
severe attack of bronchitis. The
vitality important unemployment
relief bill however brought him
back to his duties, perhaps sooner
than he should.
One thing Is certain, the speaker
will play a large part in the ma
tional campaign.
Leaders of the democratic party
appreciate his ability as q rough
and tumble campaigner, and he 10
sure to be asked to undertake an
extended speaking tour, especially
in the south and southwest.
While the cultured Franklin D..
Roosevelt tours the eastern centers,
Garner will storm through the
west with his sun-tanned face. his
western-T Texas accent and his stump
speaking ability developed by more
than 20 years of house debate and
congressional campaigns.
Garner knows the west and the
west knows Garner. and those d.
recting the activities of the demo-
cratic party will make full use Of
the assets Of their vice presidential
nominee.
