Ten dollars a minute since the birth of Christ would just about equal the expenditures of the Uni ted States government within the past six months, says Congressman Edward W. Goss.
 The benevolent dictatorship now apparent in America is but the forerunner of an unfair, un- just, arbitrary malevolent dictator ship, .exclaims former U. s. Sena- tor Hiram Bingham.
 Republicans and democrats alike, sensed in the recent Westbrook ad- dresses of Messrs Goss and Bing- ham the possible outline of attack in the approaching campaign for the reelection of U. s. Senator Frederic Walcott and for the suc- cessful endorsement of all republi- can candidates for congress.
 Had No Chance'-Goss
 A number of very prominent re- publican officials attended the meeting of the Middlesex County Republican Club last Tuesday even ing and heard the remarks, which are being quoted and attacke d statewide at present.
 A statement of local interest was credited to Mir Goss. He is quoted as remarking that he had been denied the right to represent his district in the last session of congress bcause the rules were such on important measures that no amendments could be drafted.
 Bingham In Come Back
 ExSenator Bingham, who was defeated by Senator Augustine Lonergan, democrat, two years age is generally understood to be stag ing a political comeback" and later may seek to regain his seat in the senate. His remarks revolved about the New Deaf' and 8 Square Deal"
 Grossly deceiving' to the people MT Bingham said. was the refusal of the democrats to enact sales tax, while levying processing tax increasing the cost of bread and shoes. They have lowered the normal income tax of congressmen, he said, "but they have raised the price of bread"
 "The democrats" he said, want to tell every farmer how much land he can plant, what he can plant and how much of it he can sell. They want to tell every business
