 The fact that Governor Cross and his labor commissioner have been fighting this sort of conditions in Connecticut is highly complimcnted by Golfers article and t is also pointed out that where there is no law to cover the entire situation, Governor CroBs and CommisBloncr Tone arc now bending their efforts to have strIcter Legislation passed in the coming seasion of the gem cral assembly at Hartford.
 Praise is also voiced for John Donlan, one of Commissioner Tone's deputy factory inspectors who was personally shouldered with the job of handling the case of the Yale Dress factory.
 The Vanacores got into court but escaped with Il total fine of $130 because of lack of proper laws to combat such sweat shop con | dition. The fact that girls were working illegally long hours in q Middletown factory and that thh | fact was brought out by the drive of Governor Cross and Com missioner Tone is also explained. IL was admitted in court that the sweat shop" operators had moved to Connecticut where there were no anti sweat shop" laws and thus escaped the Jurisdiction of the New York authorities although they subsequently shipped their goods to New York for disposal.

Governor Roosevelt mingled with his neigh bors among the Hudson River valley. Both were to make eleventh hour appeals tonight. Former President Coolidge algo was to put in a final plea for his successor.
 The chief purpose of these final appeals was to bring out the vote. Each precinct captain has checked his list and If he is on the Job hc knows how practically every man and woman in his district will vote. He knows few If. epy will switch now regardless of what either candidate says. His job now is to vote his people.

The campaign has been less noisy ] In some respects than that of four ycars ago. A serious silence ap- pears to have spread over the elec- l torate.
