(Continued from Page 1.) proposing the present author ot the New Deal" At the memor- able national democratic conven- ton held that year in New Yorl, city. Dr Dolan was a stalwart leader for the nomination of AL fred E. Smith. Franklin D. Roose- welt in 1924 was the campaign manager of ex-Governor Smith. Roosevelt made the nomination of Al Smith in that convention, but after 103 ballots and 17 days of a deadlock between "Ar" and Will liam G. McAdoo of California, chosen as a compromise candidate.
 This event really marked the be- ginning of the New Guard of Con- necticut, for the present Old Guard leaders, Homer Cummings, Thomas J. Spellacy and David Fitzgerald, was supporters of McAdoo. Later MT Cummings became staunch supporter of Mir Roosevelt.
 In 1928 Dr Dolan was a Connec- ticut delegate to the national con vention in Houston, Texas, where the Happy Warrior" was nomin- ated. Franklin D. Roosevelt again nominated ZAP.
 In 1892 Dr Dolan was sent to the national convention in Chicago where he was a conspicuous figure in the interest of the candidacy o1 his friend and idol, Franklin b Roosevelt. During the campaign he worked tirelessly for the success oi the state and national ticket and succeeded in arousing statewide in terest among the young democrats of the state. He personally visited scores of cities and towns, address ing meetings and advising organiz- ations. He came to Waterbury three times during the campaign and addressed the Roosevelt Gross club of this city. The latter organ ization on selecting its permanent officers named Dr Dolan is honor ary president.
 On the occasion of the organiza- ton of the Young Democrats of the state at a meeting held in Meriden and principal speaker. He received a tremendous ovation in recogni- tion of his labors.
 Since the election of President Roosevelt, Dr Dolan served as chairman of Connecticut's inaugur- ation committee and was one of the leaders from this ate at the im- pressive ceremonies in Washing ton, D. c. He later acted as state director of the Democratic National Finance Committee of Connecticut and collected a comfortable margin over the states quota of $15,000. Only few days ago he was drafted" for service on the Ma tional Recovery Committee.
 The new collector of internal revenue has served as member of the democratic state central com mittee.
 Ever since the inauguration of President Roosevelt 1t has been confidently predicted that Dr Do- Ian would be named collector of internal revenue in Connecticut. Several candidates were boomed from time to time, but when his intimate friendship with the Pres ident and Postmaster Farley were considered and his years of loyal devotion to their cause reviewed, it became a foregone conclusion that he would be named.
 The appointment of Dr Dollar will undoubtedly be greeted with popular approval throughout Con- necticut as a merited recognition for there were few leaders. if any in New England more outstanding for MT Roosevelt than pr Dolan. It is now expected that changes will be announced in the local of flee of the internal revenue.
 Speaking politically. the naming of Dr Dolan is the first big state plum to be handed over by the ad. ministration since it's inaugura- | tion.
