leadership is settled, our duty as citizens and as party members is plain. We should support the party, and stand by it. Public con- cern is not with the party rival ries, but with the manner in which we as party members, en- trusted with public responsibility, perform our tasks.
 Warns of Discord
 If we serve the public well our party will be continued in office. If we do not, it is only question planted. That is how administra- tions are made or wrecked.
 You must rem member that it is the policy of the opposition to fan the flames of any democratic con- troversy. As long as we are united they are helpless; it is only when discord induces apathy in any considerable element among us that they have the least hope of even local success. In the country at large. I am happy to report, they know that they had no chance. 1 have been over a great deal of the country several times in the past few months. In nearly every state 1 found the same situa- tion--a stiff primary battle. which our political foes cheered on and made the most of and every where a united front following the primaries. determined to uphold the hands of our president.
 Democrats Will Gain
 Under these conditions 1 have no hesitancy in telling you that in the coming election we will in- crease our majority in the United States senate by at least six seats. and so far 1 have not heard a responsible republican statesman specify single seat in the house of representatives now held by democrat that they expected to win.

employment, under the administra- tion's policies, are having their ef- feet in spreading employment, and from now on the number of peo- pie on relief should rapidly de- crease.
 am pleased to inform you in this connection that latest figures compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that approximately 2,900,000 workers were added to payrolls between March, 1888, and June, 1894, throughout the United States. For the state of Connec- ticut reports from TAO manufac- turing establishments showed 145,- 3S2 wage earners on their rolls in June, 1894, with wages in one week ending nearest June 18th of $2,779,314. This compares with an estimated 106,11S workers and payroll of $1,51S,751 in March. 1883. The increase over the 15- month interval in Connecticut was 37 per cent for employment and S3 per cent for payrolls.
 CCC Upholding Morale
 The Civilian Conservation Corps is upholding the morale of thou sands of young men of our na- tion while the re-adjustment is taking place. Approximately 351,- 300 men are now enrolled in 1,643 Civilian Conservation Camps throughout the country. They allocate most of their $30 per month salaries to their families, thus assisting in relieving the local relief burdens Money expend- ed in feeding, clothing and carry ing for the campers aided indus trial recovery, and enormous strides have been made in the re- mobilization of the country's half billion acres of forests and parks.
 After the president had complet- ed his malpr tasks of getting the banking and emergency relief situation started. he had more time to actively direct the congress and to carry out the pledges made by the democratic party at it's na- tional convention, and the celerity with which he and the congress have fulfilled those pledges to the people has made history for the American government and our party.

an optimistic prediction as to the future economic success of the United States. The keynote address was as follows:
 Delegates of the Democratic State Convention, I come before you, with deepest feelings of ap- preciation and also of responsibil- ity, as your chairman and keynote speaker, to give you some account of the New Deal, and what it has meant to the nation and to the State of Connecticut.
 The stress and rivalry, optimism, and confidence so palpably appar- ct here and throughout the demo- cratic organizations in America to- day, is indicative of a wholesome and encouraging condition in our political party, and l desire to add to that confidence and optimism by a brief summary of the efforts and accomplishments of the ad- ministration, to date.
 Public Consciousness
 Important events have followed each other in Washington so rap idly that many people have lost track of the extent and sequence of developments in the movement to restore prosperity to America. The president, by frequent radio addresses and messages to the peo- pie through the press, and your senators and representatives, have attempted to keep you fully in- formed, and are gratified by the watchfulness and intelligence with which the people are following each move made by our govern ment. Never before in our na- tion's history has there been such . public consciousness of what is taking place at Washington. It arose out of desperation during, those almost tragic days of bank closings preceding March 4, 1883, but is now a consciousness born of confidence and hope in the democratic party and it's untiring and understanding leader, Franklin

ism they can find in a dictionary of political bug-aboos. Now just wonder how processes which were. deemed for the national interest and welfare last year are such bad examples of national suicide this year.
 Refers to Roraback
 However, they need this variety of terms to meet the necessities of thdir campaign. Here in the in- dustrial East they are telling you that the purpose of the Roose- welt administration is to destroy the profit element in business for the benefit of the farmer. Out in the agricultural West they are ex- plaining just as clamorously that the desire of the administration is to turn the country over to the monopolists and exalt the city la borers at the expense of the tiller of the soil-and either of these two statements is as accurate as the other.
 Even that distinguished and in- comparab ble economist, Henry Fletcher, chairman of the repuh- lican national committee, is quite aware of the circumstances that the city dweller would have no job if the agriculturalist didn't have money to buy the output of our mills and factories. Likewise, the farmer would have no market If the people in the towns and cities were not prosperous enough to pay for what the farmer raises. don't think even your pious fellow citizen. J Henry Roraback. would dispute these self-evident facts.
 New Deal Upheld F
 To prove to you that the demo- cratic party has gone hay-wire they are now telling you with awe that the democratic party in Cali- fornia has nominated for governor Socialist. confess I am little bit vague as to what constitutes Il Socialist, for the men of that per- suasion have talked to varied in their theories the width of the whole economic map, but l have come to the conclusion that to re- publicans. for the purposes of the forthcoming election, a Socialist ls' anybody with even tendencies to liberalism.

strategy in the pending campaign is without precedent so far as my political experience goes. They sx- press not the remotest hope Of getting control of either house of congress-the natural goal in any congressional election. Their aim, as frankly disclosed by the chairman of their congressional campaign committee, is to come out ahead in thirty-one districts to the end that they may have just over one-third of the house membership and thus be able to block the legislation advanced by the majority. What noble ambi- ton! What an elevated aim! what a patriotic program! What a deep sense of obligation to a country that is devoted to majority control to strive to balk the popular will and obstruct the processes of gov ernment, simply because the ad- ministration is of the opposite party! Their purpose, of course, Is perfectly obvious.
 Their chief function is not what any reasonable student of good government would expect-to fur nish constructive opposition Their conception of an opposition is just that, and nothing more-to oppose. Good or bad, in keeping with their own party ideals or at variance with it-they are against the New Deal.
 Relief Measures-NO Football
 The national situation is too grave to be made the football. Of politics. The recovery measures should never have been the sub- feet of partisan controversy, and never were until the imminence of an election made those in charge of the republican machine forget the welfare the nation in the in- terest of what they deemed po- litical expediency.
 You may remember that when these measures were first before Congress there was hardly breath of criticism or a suggestion of fal- tering in the granting to the presi- dent of the authority he sought to deal with the emergency. Approxi- mately 40 per cent of the republi- can members of the Senate and House voted for the very acts which the distinguished gentlemen who are now running the republi- can party are now describing as un- constitutional, with the additional suggestion that they are bying ex- ercised to drag the nation into Communism.

under our recent laws, and will show you that confidence in bank ig has increased, and that there has been a steady increase in de- posits.
 In addition to the banking situ- ation there was the problem of un- employment relief. From fifteen to twenty million people accord ing to estimates from various sources, were walking the streets. Agriculture was at standstill; the prices of farm products meant ruin to one=half the people of the country. Industry was stag nant. Deflation in wages had proceeded at disastrous rate. Further deflation would have crushed the railroads and many of the great industrial concerns of the country. This, in turn, would have had terrific repercussions in the insurance field, in which the people of America, and particularly the people of Connecticut, are so vitally interested.
 Relief for Millions
 In February and March 1883, it is estimated there were 4,560,- 900 families in America on refer. With an average of about four per- sons to each family it is estimated that something near 20,OO0,0OO persons received public relief dur ing the winter of 1932-33. One person in six in the United States was on public relief.
 In this situation, President Roosevelt and the congress took prompt action, creating, on May 12, 1888, the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, and $500,- 000,000 was authorized to be ex- pended through the States and Territories as a means of cooper ating with them in meeting the relief needs of the unemployed.

D. Roosevelt. His human quali- ties, and knowledge of the needs of the average man and woman of America, have enabled him to build, upon the democratic plat form, and with the aid of con- gress, a record during the past IS months so broad that 1t has touched not only the American people, but the entire world, and has become not only a record Of many effective remedies for the depression in America, but so- cial experiment for all nations and all history.
 Prejudice Rampant
 Various reactions have been demonstrated as the New Deal has progressed. No one has been quicker than the president him. self to acknowledge defeats in the chain of progress, and this frank ness has served to increase the confidence of the American peo- pie in his leadership. There are set many questionable theories which are being tried; there may be some departure from precedents which we regarded as firmly es- tablished. But if one studies the situation closely he will find that the greatest grumbling comes from those who by nature are pre- judtced against progress. That prejudice is multiplied infinitely if 1t happens to be political or economic progress brought about by political party which they oppose.
 TO listen to some of the speeches which we hear from the republican aide from time to time. it might be supposed that Americans generally are such habit-bound reactionaries that any departure from their ancient customs is repugnant to them. American history proves the -exact opposite. Progress was. and continues to be, neces- eary to our industries and our gov ernment. No one can stop it. So long as the administration is will ing to yield to errors and correct r1istakes, many of the ultimate hopes of the New Deal will be accomplished and broadened into new spheres

 No doubt the MIRA has figured in the active increase in employ ment in Connecticut, and for the country as a whole. Among the larger industries the increase has been rapid. On operations aver aging 53.9 per cent of ingot ca pacity, the country's thirteen lead ing steel companies in the second quarter of this year earned net income of $20,148,226 after all in- terest charges and other deduc.- tions, according to a study just completed by Dow. Jones x Co. For the first time since 1881 the U. S. Steel corporation earned dividends. According to thelr announcement, their net profit for the quarter ending July l totailed $5,35O,0OO. Contrast this With their net loss of $S,627,OO0 in the same quarter of last year. The report also showed that they pald $5,2OO,O0O more in wages during those three months than a year previously.

 Since manufacturing gives em- ployment to a larger proportion Of the population Tn Connecticut than in any other state, with the single exception of Rhode Island. par ticular interest has been shown in the reports recently announced, covering the manufacturers cen sus for 1883, and showing that from March to September, 1883, there was an upward trend. From September to December the trend was downward, but employment in December greatly exceeded that in March of the same year.
 Everywhere there is the story of progress, or of hope for improve ment in business and employment. Confidence in the great majority of tasks which the administration is attempting is apparent at every turn. The president has invited suggestions and criticisms from all citizens. He has listened to men of all parties because the situation has been one of na- tional crisis and not mere party change. His breadth of vision has led many active leaders of opposi- tion parties to join with him in the recovery program.

 Quotes Cummings
 1 think twenty or thirty cases have been brought to the attention of the courts bearing on various phases of the New Deal and in every case that has reached it the Supreme Court has upheld the con- stitutionality of the enactments. The attorney general of the Unit cd States, your own Homer Cum mings, in discussing the subject the other day said:
 Those who affect to believe that the Constitution is in serious peril forget or ignore the fact that the courts of the land, in orderly fash- ion, will decide all such questions as they arise. In cases which they have thus far passed upon, no constitutional defects have been found in any essential measure connected with the so-called New Dea:. Let me say, by way of com fort to the timid, who may be dis- turbed or bewildered by the out cries which arise from interested souces-Be of good cheer, the Su- preme Court of the United States is not likely to place the seal of its approval upon unconstitutional measures; and the integrity of the Constitution is entirely safe in the hands of the Federal Judiciary"
 We happen to have a very de- cisive index to the extent that the N. R. A.. the. A. A. A. and the other agencies of the recovery movement have-to quote our re- publican critics-''taken the profit element out of business" The latest Treasury report, dealing prosaically with the income tax re- turns shows that during the year ending July 1, taxes were paid on incomes aggregating in the neigh borhood of two billion dollars more than the incomes of the previous year.
 Those are not the figures of the democrat-chairman of the demo- cratic national committee address ing democratic convention. They are the returns made by all our income-tax paying citizens under oath.
