 MT. Marks stated that prices are now at a level where the farm CT of North Dakota can realize profit on his produce. He also said that the figures given on bank failures was far too many. In North Dakota the soil is rich and while dry weather may put farmer on the rocks one year he can come back the next according to MT. Marks.
 MT. Marks thanked the Connec- ticut organizations for their hos pitality and stated that he felt it was fraternal organizations like oh vn1o O maintaining the quality of the peo- pie. He said he felt that the or ganizing of persons regardless of class had done much to prevent disturbances in this country such as are arising abroad. He had an optimistic outlook on the future and said that business had in creased 25 per cent more during the first six months of this year than over a similar period last year. The A. o. U. W.

Political Gossip

State Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone whose name has been jOckeyed around quite bit of late in discussions con- cerning the makeup of the ticket of the democratic party and who has been mentioned for the post of u. S. senator and cOngresSman-at-Iarge, is now being heard for another nomination. This time it's for lieutenant governor. Although Mayor Frank Hayes is under- stood to be welcome to the nomination of lieutenat gover- nor if he wishes it, the name of Commissioner Tone has come up over the weekend. He, himself, has said he has 8 preference for the U. $. Sena- tOrial nOminat ton.
 But over the weekend Pro- lessor Harry Morgan Ayres of WestpOrt. "new guard choice for this nomination two years ago when he was beaten by U. $. Senator Augustine Loner- gan of Hartford, came out point-blank for the senatorial post. Commissioner Tone and Prof Ayers are both thew guard" members. Perhaps the former might 'conSent" to run for lieutenat governor if the convention asked him to. In the meantime, there are now two avowed candidates for the senatorial post, Congressman Francis T. Maloney of Meriden and Professor Ayers.
 That the latter is really in earnest is the fact that on Sat- urday Prof Ayers opened cam paign headquarters in Bridge port at the Hotel Stratfield. J. J. O'Connor of Westport is in charge. Therefore, the battle for the top post on the state ticket is on.
 "Tag, you're it-this is the game being played by the two warning factions in Harft- ford now. The fight is on between the regular demo- cartic organization and the newly formed Decomcitic league. First of all the league leaders raised the old cry of Attorney Thomas J. Spellacy's swapping" with re- publicans and said they doubt ed, as usual, if he ever sincere ly supported Governor Cross and President Roosevelt. These insinuatiOns or charges are nothing new between Spellacy and his enemies in Hartford. They crop up whether it be a

 Students

All of the Vacation church | schools of the city sponsored by
 the Waterbury Council of Relig- i ious Education have closed ex- cept the one at the Naugatuch Congregational church, which will hold an August session. The schools
 have completed their tenth season. Total registration was more than 800, divided among ten schools, and a staff of 104 teach CTS and helpers were in charge of the sessions. The courses included
 kindergarten, primary and junior, and the work varied from the mak-
 ing of furniture, by kindergarten students, to activities which in- cluded tours to the city hall and the hospitals by the junior group. Sewing for the Red Cross was one of the features of the classes held at the South Waterbury church. The juniors at that school took up the study of the African missions. Because of the loss of several schools the total registra-
 ton this year was considerably smaller.

LITTLE BOY BLUE
Good evening.

The little toy dog IS couered a0tth dust But sturdy and stanch he stands; And the little toy soldier IS red a0ith rust And has musket n,oulds in his hands. They wo,sder aS waiting these long yearS through, In the dust of little chair; What has become Ot their little boy blue, Since be Kissed them aud put them there. Little boy blue is grown up now, No longer he thinks of his toys; In their place is an auto, seems strange somehow, What pleasure he gets from it's noise. As he roars down the street on his way to play golf, Threading his way through the throng Sometimes he croons while older folks scof, At his idiotc, nonsenscal song. Of course he has grls-thats natural you know, To have them encamped on his mind; Dining and dancing that's how things go, Such is the way of mankind. And yet some day "old little boy blue' May from off that dog shake the dust; And salute his friend forever true, The little toy soldier so red with rust

Their Program.
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOPEKA, Kans.. February 23-
"Self-appointed" Republican critics
OF the national administration were
challenged last night by Senator
George McGill, Democrat, Of Kansas,
to state their program or say what
time We acted"
Senator McGill speaking to the
annual State meeting Of Democrats,
stood on the same platform from
which Ogden L. Mills, former Re-
publican Secretary Of the Treasury,
last month addressed Kansas Re
publicans.
Hits Former Leadership.
: McGil said he hesitated to con-
template what the state Of the
average American would have been
by this time had we continued under
a leadership largely controlled by the
counsel and advice of Mr.. Ogden L.
Mills"
The Kansas Senator asserted Mills
had been high in the nations coun-
ellis while international bankers
without molestation were
mulcting the American people of their
6aYtngN AND draining the nation OF
billions of dollars of its wealth by
worthless foreign bonds and securities
by virtue of which transactions these
high captains OF finance amaSsed
great fortunes while impover!shing
those with whom they dealt"
When he read Mills Topeka speech,
McGin said he wondered "if the loss
of liberty he was then bemoaning were
not such liberties as have been re-
moved from the so-called interna-
tional banking group by such laws as
the national securities act"
Consider Picture Of Ruin.
LET those who would criticize,
especially those who were in reSpon-
sible positions in our governmental
affairs and who would now raise by
voice or pen cry Of fear OF a die
tatorship when every citizen knows
our President would be the first to
denounce any effort to establish a
dictatorship, consider the picture OF
the ruin they had wrought by reason
of their own financial and official
governmental policies" McGill urged.
Warning "self-appointed critics OF
the administration that this emer-
gency legislation will be held to be
and is constitutional" Senator McGill
said nothing transcends the general
welfare"
Let the critics of Roosevelt be
candid, take the people into their
confidence, state what their program
would be and what they would do,
or would have done at the time We
acted" he continued.
