ton has accomplished for the public welfare.
 Good government is the best politics. That was true when Jefferson founded our party, and the formula has not changed. Cir. cumstances and conditions change. The immortal principles that have made us the freest, most secure people in the world remain changeleSs. Selfish inter- ests may usurp authority for Q time, but always there arises Q figure clear-eyed enough to see the peril, wise enough to grasp the peoples desires. and brave enough to hew the way through the barriers of influence and illi- cit power. and set us again on the right path.
 Peoples Government
 For thre years ours has been a peoples government. It is our job to keep 1t a peoples govern ment.
 That is what meant when 6 spoke of the responsibilities inci- dent to this gathering. We know how millions have ben poured out to prepare the ground for an as- sault aimed to bring back the reeking period that piled up great fortunes for those on the inside, and finally brought the country to the verge of bankruptcy.
 No pirate of the olden days chased a galleon that had escaped him more fiercely than will the packers of the republican party pursue the enterprise of getting back the prize they held so long.
 The pursuing corsairs used wathever flag that served their purpose to close with their quarry. They did not fly the skull and bones banner, but raised the pen- nant under which the prize was sailing to disguise their plunder- ing purpose.
 Perhaps that illustrates the new plan of the republican platform and the uniform of their captain, in the west with the epualets of liberalism, and in the east with the insignia of conservatism.
 Behind the republican ticket Is
 Liberty League
 the crew of the DuPont Liberty League and their allies, which have 50 far financed every under cover agency that has disgraced American politics with their ap- peals to race prejudice, religious intolerance, and personalities so gross that they had to be repudi- ated ever by the regular republi. can organization. They will con- tinue to disown these snaky as- saults-and to seek to profit by them.
 But the leaguers will never gain the prize. The real new deal, sane and orderly-not the wild, vision- ary, socialistic or communistic creation of its enemies imagina- tion-will sail on serenly, to the goal of complete recovery: and at its helm that calm, capable and courageous commander, Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Champions of "New DeaI'' to Sail SereneIy to Re-
 cOvery, Says Chieftain

Philadelphia, June 23-(U.P)- The text of National Chairman James A. Farley's address at the opening session of the Democratic National Convention follows:
 In inaugurating this convention am conscious of a great respon- sibihty. The occasion which brings us together is one of the most momentous in the history of our country.
 The continuance of the new deal is the issue. The question be- fore the American people is clear cut and cannot be disguised. That question is: Shall we continue the new deal which has rescued our country from disaster and despair or shall the government be turned back to the old dealers who wrecked itp
 There you have the issue strip ped of all camouhage.
 The gAvity of this issue is the measure Oof our responsibility as we assemble here today. Is the nation to move forward or is 1t to turn backward to the old deal- CTS of such recent and bitter memory?
 Old Dealers
 Fortunately for us and for the country, we know now that the old dealers stand right where they have always stood. The conven- ton at Cleveland, both in manner and method, revealed once more than old habits are not ahan. doned.
 I am not trying to stir the members of the committe which has served so faithfully, or the delegates to this convention, into any frenzy of excitement by stressing the gravity of what lies ahead of us, and which makes this campaign different from the ordinary political struggle insep- arabic from Q presidential elec- ton.
 merely wish to impress on all of you the significance of the task to which we are committing our- selves. I want to point out that while the political skies seem fair for our party and our destined candidates, and all of Us believe that the country will echo our de- sires in unmeaSured enthusiasm, and 6 record majority, confidence in the outcome Is not enough.
 The consequences of the com- ing election are vital to the future of this nation. Because of their gravity no one of us dares do less than his utmost towards swelling the majority that will testify to the national desire that he pro- cesses of recovery, initiated and carried on by Franklin D. Roose- welt, shall not be interrupted. That verdict must be 50 overwhelming, so conclusive, so compelling that nobody can doubt that the coun- try is united in its determination that there shall be no backward step in our progress.
 Fortunate Party Our party will remain in power 50 long as its ideals and purposes do not deviate from the straight path of public service.
 We are a fortunate party; first

here in Philadelphia. The various factions were followed in an effort to rundown the feeling among the nutmeg state delegation. Ex-Gov- ernor Smith is out as far as Connec- ticut is concerned. His former packers in the Chicago convention in 1882 are not behind him or lend- ing sympathy to his attack on the present chief executive of the nation.
 Smiths Attack Denounced
 The delegation from Connecticut convened here yesterday afternoon at the Robert Morris hotel. United States Attorney General Homer s. Cummings, chairman of the Con- nccticut delegation, denounced Smiths attack on the New Deal. Al State Chairman J. Francis Smith / If Waterbury asked to be left out of the controversy, explaining that he had not studied the Smith blast and the reactions in the state.
 Chairman Smith, never-the- Jess, voiced the opinion that the voice of ESs-G Governor Smith of New York would not make any inroad into Connecticut vote. The Democrat swung to another group in the con- vention. National Committeeman Archibald McNeil stated that the Smith attack on President RooSe- welt was entirely uncalled for and characterized 1t as a disgrace to the Aaana AnSn kan vaa x,kS, Utv-AHax,as. TNa v,is E. Fitzgerald of New Haven, who was among the staunch Smith back CTS four years ago voiced similar thoughts.
 Again the Democrat swung to another group in the Connecticut democratic party. Dr. E. c. Dolan of Manchester harshly criticized Exc Governor Smith. Dr. Dolan was one of the original Roosevelt men in Connecticut.
 Conn. Group Convenes
 Delegates from Connecticut to the national convention arrived on the special train ct four o'clock yester- day afternoon. Tn the group were Mrs. Frank Smith, wife of the state chairman, MT. and Mrs. Charles B, Jackson and James William Fitzpat- rick. United States Attorney Gen. eral Cummings called the delegates to order at 5 o'clock in the Robert Morris Hotel.
 National Committeeman McNeil announced that Connecticut had l67 books of tickets. This was contrary to previous reports that the Nut lneggerS were to be closed out.
 Plenty of Tickets
 In addition, there will also be three hundred more tickets for Sat- urday,s ofilcial notification cere- nony for the president and vice. president. This will give many Wa terburians an opportunity to witness the oficial nomination. State Chair man Smith of Waterbury was named to Q committee of three to distribute tickets both to delegates alternates and those planning to attend Saturdays gathering. With him on the committee are National Committeennan McNeil and Ex- Mayor Fitzgerald. The latter will be elected Connecticut'S national conn- mitteeman later in the week.

been granted seats in full.

HE IS THROUGH
 WITH ROMANCE

Barnstable, Mass, June 23 = (UP)--Herbert Mansfield, Jr, 22, whose proxy marriage Q year ago brought him Q year in jail, is through with romance" He said as much when released from jail yesterday. Last June when his fi- ance, Vesta Jean Isherwood, 16, could not appear for a marriage ceremony, he wed Gloria Rego, IS, of Providence under Vesta's name. Neither Vesta nor Gloria was at the sheriff's ofiice to greet him. Only his mother was there. "No more of that romantic stuff for me-" said Mansfield, former lunchroom coun- terman. I'm going to make my mother happy now"

GOV. CURLEY FOR
 VTCE-PRESIDENT

Boston, June 23. (UP)-Governor James M. Curley said today he would accept the democratic nomin- ation for vice-president if it were offered him.
 Curley was questioned regarding reports from the democratic na- tional convention that he was being "boomed" for second place on the ticket.
 q know nothing about it," Curley said. q do know, however, that there were organized after I toured the west for President Roosevelt in 1882. Seven of these clubs are in California. I have no intimation that there is a movement afoot to name me to the vice-presidency, but if the offer were made I would ac- cept it."
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-06-23

had so desired. AS soon as they thought that partisan politics made 1t necessary the party we had busted from control of the government began Sniping at the policies they had applauded and participated in. They were grate- full for these policies when our country was undergoing the ex- treme crisis of the disaster their president and their administra- ton had permitted to come upon us.
 As soon as the huge financial interests that have been the back bone of every republican admins tration of recent years had been rescued from the depths of loss and again began to make money, they exerted their pressure, fur nished the funds, and engaged in a crusade of vituperation and de- traction in an effort to destroy the faith of the people in the president.
 Unearned FavorS
 He had brought them out of their desperate state when they were helpless to do 1t themselves. But he was insisting that fortune for the few and poverty for the many did not spell prosperity. and they, feeling themselves threat ened with the deprivation of the unearned and uneconomic favors and privileges they had enjoyed SO long, inaugurated the move- Inent for 8 return to the old SyS- tenn of everything for them and nothing for the plain people.
 Then 1t was that the minority party orators and the newspapers controlled by the big interests began telling our people that Franklin D. Roosevelt sought to be Q dictator.
 Then 1t was that the laws con- gresS had enacted, and for which many of the senators and repre- sentatives of their own party had voted, were denounced as being intended to make our country soNlalistic and communistic state.
 Then it was that they proclaim cd that the measures undertaken and functioning successfully to bring back 6 restoration of buS- tness, decrease unemployment, and to take care of the jobless until such time as returning prosperity would reabsorb them into norAnal industry, were all the product of dreamers and vision aries.
 Anybody unfamiliar with Amer ican politics would have gathered from these outcries that our hard- working, systematic, public-serv- ing president was sitting in the White House with a war helmet on his head, booted and spurred, and ready to lead bayonet charge on congress if they hesi- tated in carrying out his despotic orders.
 Loyalty Praised
 Under these conditions, we nat urally had to get busy.
 
 I will not attempt to outline for you the activities of the organiza- tions in the various sections of the country, but l do want to tell you that, without exception, the state democratic authorities coop erated effectively and enthusiasti- cally, and I want to thank them publicly for their loyalty, which in no small degree is responsible for the state of confidence in which we meet today.
 You are all familiar, I believe, with the work performed at na- tionel headquarters in Washing ton, and I feel authorized to ex- press in your name our thanks to my colleagues at headquarters for the faithfulness with which they have discharged their task.

in the high patriotism and cali- bre of our president; second in that we are on the right side both morally and economically.
 The minority party has, by force of circumstances, been compelled to adopt @ platform unsurpassed in the history of party declara- tons for platitudeS and vague promises. Some day, they pledge themselves to accomplish what our administration has already accomplished. Some day they will put the farmer in the same eco- homie position that the new deal has put him, but never do they .say how they are going to do 1t. Some day they are going to estab- fish business on basis compar- able with that upon which our conduct of national affairs has placed it-but first they would go back to the system that brought on the great panic. Some day the great corporations are to be as- sured of all the favors they en- poyed under republican rule and at the same time everybody is to have equal opportunity and un- bounded prosperity.
 And their some day candidates through this platform will tell the country, as a distracted mother tells her fretful babies, they will have the moon for which they have been futilley reaching and wailing because they cannot reach 1t.
 Relief Promises
 They are going to relieve pov- erty, without spending money, provide jobs without it costing iil- dustry anything, and bring hap- piness and contentment to every body-some day.
 As chairman of the democratic national committee 1t has become my happy duty to call this con- vention to order; to present the recommendations of the commit tee for the conventions considera- ton of temporary officers to con- duct the deliberations of this body until the convention itself shall complete the permanent organiz- ation. Then shall relapse into my status as 6 delegate from the State of New York.
 Before I relinquish this gavel I wish to make Q brief report on the work of the national organ ization since 1t assumed direction of the party's affairs at the 1882 convention. That convention iil- augurated e new era in our coun- try,s affairs. Through the master ful work of the candidates of the 1882 convention and the con- gresses which were elected in sympathy with them, our coun- try has been lifted out of the worst depression in our history onto Q fair highway that leads to permanent prosperity.
 Ordinarily, as you know, the national committee of our own and of the minority party fall into deep sleep at the close of Q convention and hibernate for four, years. Following the precedent cs- abolished by my predecessor, the democratic national committee has taken 6 different course, actu- ated by the belief that a presi- dential campaign, with all that 1t means to our nation, is not some- thing to be hurried through in Q few hectic weeks.
