TN 1881 many individuals, many families
i and many business organizations came
face to face with hours of need and found
in insurance a dependable friend-a friend
that was able as well as willing to help in
their emergencies.
Through the timely aid Of funds from
all forms Of insurance, many adversities
Of life were prevented from becoming
tragedies, and many untoward events were
robbed Of their terrors and expressions.
Life insurance, unlike some other forms
Of properly, instead Of adding to or in
tensifyine the woes Of the public during a
period Of economic readjustment, minis
tered to many and provided relief and
comfort to scores Of persons who had ex-
hausted all other means.

 Support of Campaign

"As is we'll known the under signed have for two years the privilege of acting as agents for the distribution of free milk to all the undernourished children in the schools of the cityI This privilege was made possible by the never failing loving kindness and charity of the big-hearted people Of the city, hundreds of whom made com tributions to our milk fund. And 1t should not be forgotten that the huge success of the project would not have been possible if the Wa terbury American and the Water bury Democrat and the Waterbury Republican had not so gladly tak- en up the matter and given so gem erously and so conspicuously Of the space in their columns.
 we now ask that we be given the privilege of continuing the pro- Ject for the present school year.
 We trust that 1t is not neces- sary to remind those who love chil dren that our needs this year are greater than they were last year.
 We assure all who wish to help us that as in the past two years every cent we receive will be spent fore milk and that we shall strive to give what is given to us only where, in the Judgment of the nurses and teachers. 1t is absolute ly needed. We spent nearly Ten Thousand Dollars last year"

as your candidate, 1t fs fair and fitting that my attitude regarding some of the major problems confronting the na- ton be made known. I, there- fore shall touch on some of these.
 Unemployment
 What men want today is jobs not talk. Prosperity will re- turn through other means than Legislation. But legisla- ton and artificial stimulants are already showing their ef- feet, and the return of good times would be substantially delayed by changing the pres- ent administration and agen- cies and starting afresh on new and untried plans. The efforts of President Hoover covering careful study and develop- ment over three years are showing their results through the Reorganization Finance corporation, the presidents non-partisan unemployment re- lief committee, the depart -ment of labor's unemploy- ment agency and the presi- dents staggering plan. In the meantime states and munich palities must cooperate to the fullest extent. as has been the case in Connecticut and the problem should not be passed completely to the national gov ernment as has been tried in other states. Tariff
 I am a republican and be- lieve in the principals of n protective tariff. I am opposed to any tariff which is not pro- tective. The tariff is responsi- ble for the fact that the standard of living of American workmen is higher than any in the world. The United States today is confronted witL the problem of Appreciated cur rcncy in foreign countries--the majority of them being off the gold standard-so that our present tariff law, in many in- stances. fails to protect.

In accepting the nomination |. want to assure you l am mindful of the great responsi- bilitics which the office carries. am mindful of the great crisis through which our na- ton is passing at the present time. with its problem of un- employment and consequent suffering.

I know it is an impossibility to please each and every voter in this district and I am only able to say I have tried to serve the majority the rulers under our democratic form of gov ernmcnt.

signed here. and on July 90 he said the first mass at Newton's hall.
 Father McAlenney was build CT, and his plans began to mater lalize immediately. Land had been given by the late Edward N. Pierce and building operations on the present church began on August Is. The cornerstone was laid on November 13 by Bishop Lawrence s. McMdhon and the basement finished in December. The first mass in the new church was cele- brated on Christmas day. 1881.
 The church building was finished early in 1882 and although 1t was not consecrated until September "A of that year the upper part of the church had been fin use since April 9. Immediately after the basement was ready for use Father McAlenney founded a free evening school which was open to all tho townEpeople.
 In 1885 Father McAlenney was succeeded by Rev Henry T. Walsh. who was pastor until his death on October 6. 1918. The pastorate of Father Walsh naturally was the DeTlou Dl Blchte5L tsio"th, aHh iNtN Michael II. Lynch was appointed curate to assist the pastor. Father Lynch was succeeded by the fol- lowing curates: Reverends Patrick J. OLeary. Jeremiah J. Duggan, Christopher r. McCann, Patrick J. Daly, William P. Kennedy. John J keane, William P. Kilcoyne, tha present pastor. and James T. Me- Donald.
 At the death of Father Walsh In 1918 Rev John K. Fay. who had previously been n curate in st Mary's parish in New Britain. was appointed pastor. Father Fay. dur ing his pastorate there. had laid plans for the jubilee celebration. but his transfer to Bridgeport on March 90, 1930, left the anniversary program in the hands of his suc- cessor, Father Kilcoyne, who went there from Waterbury.
 Preparatory to the jubilee years celebration, one of Father kiI- coyne's first acts wassa complete renovation of the church building. Repairs costing thousands of dol lars were made in 1881. This ac- ton, coming as 1t did in the midst of il depression. brought much favorable comment.
 The parish rectory on Broad street was completed in 1885. Land for st Joscph's cemetery on Farm ington avenue was acquired in 1887 and was consccrated soon after.

 The history of the Catholic church in Plainville dates back to 1848 when the town was q mission In q large parish that also includ- cd New Britain, Bristol. Berlin. Forestvillc, Simsbury.

Rev Luke Daly of New Britain was pastor and he travelled to these scattered towns as often ns possible to say mass and hear confessions. Plain vile was visited about once Tn three months, where mass was cele- brated at the Thomas Neal house, then called John Limberts hall, on Neal Court. James Prior's home on Pierce street and Ncwton's hall were also scenes of Catholic scr vice. In 1866 Plainville was in- cluded in the newly formed parish of Bristol, whose pastor was Rev M. E.

 Government Operation
 I am opposed to tho gov ernment competing with pri- vate industry.
 As n member of the house. of representatives committee on military affairs last session. I felt 1t incumbent upon mo to oppose, and oppose strenu- ously. the Muscle Shoals bills, reported out by that commit tee. This bill made the leasing provisions so stringent. and an alternative of government op- eration. that 1t was looked upon ns government opera ton bill.
 The government is compet- ing with private industry in many instances to-day. l as- sure you I shall oppose this policy.
 Connecticut
 I have stated previously that I favor cutting down federal aid to states. In this connec- ton the national government as well as It's component states can take a leaf out of Connec- ticut's book and adopt the . plans successfully carried out by Governor Trumbuil in his pay as you go policy and keep tho budget balanced.
 Conclusion
 I have outlined my views on some of the matters before congress. In the two years have served have tried con- seienuously to represent my district. my state and the country. l have no apologies. In the future, if elected, I will try. to follow out the same principles and policies. l ac- cept the nomination.
