 Best Law Enforcement
 "Our platform is to be read in the record of the best national law enforcement ever recorded in the history of our nation.
 "Your attention is directed to the 'BilI of Rights which pledges preservation, protection and de- fense against oil intimidation and threats, freedom of religion, speech, press and radio. There has been no impairment or threat to impair any of them by the Roose- welt administration although the misrepresentation has been made that in some mysterious way they have been disregarded and held in contempt. The principal danger to the liberties both of the indi- vidual and the masses exists. in the power of monopolies and trusts which under the last three Re- publican administrations thrived and prospered with respect to both production and distribution.
 "On our record of pledges hon- estly redeemed, of services faith fully performed and under as gale lant Q leadership as ever raised a political banner, we advance to the battle of 1038 confident that the voters of the nation will not turn back to the defeated and dis- heartened leadership which abai1- doned them when the need Tor service, loyalty and courage was the greatest ever known"

 National Defense
 National defense Is . subject of interest to every citizen loyal to our flag and to the institutions which 1t symbolizes. The Repub- lican platform on this subject is indefinite. It favors an army and navy, including air corps, adequate for defense. The platform de- C)ares for cooperation with other nations in the control of arma- ments and in the trafilc of arms. It is Q trite definition without def- iilite meaning.
 Just now when international antagonisms are being stimulated, when continents tremble beneath the tread of maddened armies and when age-long hatreds are prompting nations to strife, 1t Is impossible to accomplish substan- tial reduction in military force without sacrifice of national see curity. Our platform on national defense is written in the record of achievements.

 Robinson said President Roose- velt,s administration has faithfully complied" with the spirit of the i032 platform promises.
 If there has been a partial de- parture as to the letter of the blanks in that platform relating to economy and balancing the bud- get" he added, "that failure is attributable to the constantly changing conditions and necessities, and to the guerrilla warfare of the republican party"
 Replies to Many Issues After sketchIng the national slt- uation during l2 years of republican rule, Robinson replied to many is- sues raised by the republican plat- form:
 Sound money: "United States currency Is the soundcst and best in all the world, and VIC propose to keep 1t so."
 TarlfE: ITO repeal this law (rccIp- rocal trade treaties) and impose embargocs will virtually mean the end of our foreign commerce"

cd to attract taxpayers. No one close to the leadership of the Re- publican party regards the propo- sition as practical in the imme- dlate future.
 Balancing Budget
 "The Democratic policy contem- plates balancing the budget as promptly as possible without per- mltting citizens who cannot secure private employment to experience suffering from hunger and cold.
 Decisions of the Supreme Court in various cases have had the effect of slowing up national recovery because they have held invalid the National Recovery Act, the Agricultural Adjustment Act, the Guffey Coal law and some other laws intended to prevent labor controversies, eliminate un- fair competition in industry and to secure fair prices for agri- cultural products. In spite Of these decisions the American peo- pie arc going forward. We rec ognize that the decisions of the Supreme Court until reversed are final and we abide by them. Nev- ertheless, we do not regard the court as above and beyond those factors and causes which flatur- ally influence the minds of hue man beings.

 Writer In Good Spot
 Your correspondent is covering the convention from the floor Of the national gathering of party dele- gates. Closer contact has been achieved by the Democrat with dele- gates not only from Connecticut but from neighboring states. AS alter nate the Democrat representative is enjoying the full and free use of the convention floor.
 Attorney General David Wilentz of New Jersey, the man who pros ecuted the famous Lindbergh kld- naping case which sent Hauptmann to the chair, is member of the convention committee on resolu- tions.
 The New Jersey delegation is seated not far from the section al- located to Connecticut.
 Attorney WIlentx Interviewed
 Interviewed by the Democrat, Ate torney General Wllentz stated that the HauptInann case had been turned into a political fiasco by Governor Hoffman of New Jersey. That he entered the case at the ex- press invitation of Hoffman's pre- decessor, that he has no doubt as to the fact that the right man was convicted and executed and that the newspapers of the nation, as q whole, were very fair although in some cases they used alarming HchuIHlco tilhb bCtVgu bO CACugc some misgivings among the readers of the country.
 Attorney General Wilentz is q personal friend of United States Senator Maloney and is also closely acquainted with Mayor Thomas J. 5peIlacy of Hartford.
 VIII Ignore Warning
 It was emphatically stated this morning that the Connecticut dele- gation will have nothing to do with the plank proposed last night by fifty-two leading economic leaders of the country. Their plank was ace companied by warning to the ef- feet that the continuation of the administration monetary program would be harmful to the best in- terests of the nation. U. 6. AtLor- ney General Homer S. Cummings. National Committeeman-Elcct Da- yid F. Fitzgerald and Lieutenant Governor Prank Hayes made 1t plain that they would follow the dictatss of the RooseveltIan acmIn- lstration on the money plank in the platform.

vast hall, with dim burning lights,
seemed to burst into the view. It's

People caught their breath as they
saw 1t, startled by its beauty.
Yeomen Among Guard
Mating, then gray carpet, was
laid over the stone floor, and there
was no sound of footballs.
The catafalque was draped in
purple and black, edged with gold.

 Advertising can induce hial of Canned Salmon. It can not make American house wives continue to serve 1t unless they are satisfed 10ith tbe qualify.
 Fine quality is especially important in salmon. Competing canned fish = sar- dimes, tuna, mackerel caught and packed outside the Territory are cheaper foods. On price alone Canned Salmon can't compete in America with other canned fish.
 Now-at the start of the salmon run all should remember this vital require ment: Alaska's Canned Salmon must be as fine e salmon advertising Says His!
 Salmon canned while fresh from the water make the best pack. Alaska's Canned Salmon Industry works to see that nothing but fresh fish are canned.
