Governor Wilbur IL. cross
 Achievements of the past four years l, as chief executive of the state were
 inuded and his critics were attack
 cd last night by Mayor Frank } Hayes of this city, candidate for
 iietitenant-governor on the demo-
 cratic ticket, in radio address de-
 livered over the radio from WTIC, A Hartford. Mayor Hayes address is
 considered one of the most out ! standing ones delivered so far this
 campaign. Stating that fault has
 been found with Governor Cross by
 republican speakers, Mayor Hayes
 declared that the marvel is not that < he has been unable to secure the
 passage of all the progressive leg tfsIation he has sponsored but that
 he has been able to get any of it v enacted. { Referring to the contest in the #1lfth congressional district, Mayor kIIayes declared that the republi-
 Bean Incumbent, Congressman B. w.
 Goss of this city, cannot effectively < Represent the district at this time. ls He urged the election of the dem-
 6cratic nominee, Major J. Joseph
 smith of this city.
 Factories Made Profit Other speakers of both parties Hast night also discussed campaign 2 Issues and hurled charges at one
 ;anotker. Major Smith, speaking in
 Qakville and in Derby, reiterated sz1iis claim that the MIRA aids busi-
 ness and quoted President Woolley S0f the American Radiator and X SSS;tandartl corporation, a republican, fsae saving that Roosevelt has S.fxprked miracle" He recalled to fhis listeners minds that earlier sin the week he gave figures to'show that the American Brass, Chase and Scovill companies enjoyed
 profits during the past year.
 The democratic candidates are &S1aot evading any issues," declared
 Major Smith. "They are pressing X them. What are the real facts?
 Bringing the record right up to
 date, the increase in weekly fac- f tory payrolls from September 1st, 1888, to September 1st, 1884, was s $72.S0O, 900. Nearly SIS, 100000 per
 week! This does not take into con-
 sideration the million and quarter < persons employed in federal emer-
 gency work nor the 369,000 young ssxnen in eco camps throughout the
 country. Bank failures have vir- < tually ceased under the Roosevelt s administration, which contrasts < with 7,578 bank failures, involving ; deposits of nearly six billion dol
 lars, from January 1st, 1929, up to 2 March 4th, 1883. Since March 4th { and up to today there have been
 only four bank failures in the en- X tire country
 M. V. Department
 r States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, < E.. o. D. gubernatorial nominee, sspeoking in Danbury, declared that the democratic-headed motor ve- hicle department could save ap-
 proximateIy $400,00O annually. He s attacked the sincerity of his demo- s,hfs assertions that he is for economy.
 Congressman Francis T. Maloney, 5 sdemocratic nominee for the U. S. senate, spoke from Hartford over WTTC last night. He continued his attack on his g. o. p. opponent, Senator F. c. Walcott. Senator Walcott moves 1eisurely over the z sConnecticut landscape, criticizing !. and condemning the administration
 with the same easy attitude with which he covered the country in his noble effort to protect the fish and the wild ducks and the little sbrown bears," he said. "There is no mention of his record, no praise of his party, no proof in his plead fngss only caustic criticism" he kadded.
