 PROGRAM SMITH
Dishonest Attacks on Ad- minstratiOn FOreseen;
 KnOx's Address Scored

illogical, irrational and immod- crate statements were used Monday night in this city by Colonel Frank Knox in his attack upon the Roose- welt administration, Democratic State Chairman J. Francis Smith charged last night at meeting in Morris. He declared that the re- publican party has no program and hopes to win the election by violent and dishonest assertions. Other speakers at the gathering were George Kaylor of Washington and Mrs. Ida. Thomas of New Milford, members of the state central com mittee. MT. Smith said:
 "On last Monday the city of Wa terbury had the honor of enter taining the republican candidate for the vice-presidency of the United States. It naturally expected that 1t would have the privilege of hear ing 8 clear and important exposi~ ton of the republican party's claims as to why the candidate of this party should displace the present democratic administration.
 NOnsensical
 Instead, it heard nonsensical outburst of strongly worded but entirely unsupported criticism. The program of the administration was referred to as a reckless, helter- skelter, catch -as-catch- series of experiment" 1883 and 1884 were referred to as economic bedlam outdoing the craziest of the Roman emperors.' The government, accord ing to MT. Knox, had gone cuckoo or plain nuts The climax was when President Roosevelt was accused of causing the drouth. Here are the incredible words of MT. Knox: Nature has twice punished us for this monstrosity with 8 ruinous drouth.'
 "There were two parts to the Knox speech. The first consisted of some thousands of words attacking the Roosevelt administration in state ments that were illogical, irrational, and immoderate. The second de- scribes what the republican party has to offer and here is the most amazing part of the entire perform ance. Here is the best that the re- publican candidate for vice-pres:- dent had to offer in defense of his party. The republican party has a platform and program. But even if 1t did not have a program, even If it proposed no specific issues, 1t still would be essential to the welfare of the country that 1t be put in con- troll
 No Program
 "The only way that MT. Knox's speech can be interpreted Is that the republican party has no program but that 1t hopes to prevail by violent and dishonest attacks on the Roose- welt administration"

they can get. For these children another year of freedom at home would be much more beneficial than 8 year of quiet work in a class room.
 The immaturity of a five year old is much greater than that of 8 six year old. Five year olds who find themselves with large group of six year olds become shy, and lose their self-confidence Routine classroom work may result in eye strai nand nervousness.
 Two extension. courses will be held in the Salem school, Naugatucls, during the fall. One will be in phil osophy of education by Dr. Isle For est, assistant professor of Bryn Mawr college and honorary fellow of philosophy at Yale University The course starts Monday, Septem- Der l4th, from 4 to 6 o'clock.
 The second course will be human izing arithmetic by Dr. May Hall James, who conducted an interest ing extension course in history of modern education for us last year. Dr. James will emphasize better methods of teaching arithmetic. This course will start Thursday, September 17th, from 3 to 6 O. clock.
 These courses offer two points credit. The fee is $500 per course. Teachers wishing more information should communicate with Superin- tendent Harold E. Chittenden of Naugatuck or Field Supervisor Ed win B. Floyd fo the state board of education office, Naugatuck."

State Treasurer
 state convention will go of smoothly but the decision of Ad- dis to remain off the ticket might throw a monkey-wrench into the works and possibly start a stan1- pede for other places on the ticket, too.
 State Senator J. SedgewiCk Tracy of Falls Village, who repre- scnted the 31st district in the 1885 legislature, appears assured of the republican nomination for state treasurer. If Addls runs again and if Tracy receives the 6. O. p. nomination, Litchtield county will have two men opposing each other for the same office. At the present time Tracy appears unop- posed for the place on the ticket.
 Litchfleld county must be given some recognition on the g. o. p. ticket and the party chieftains COklSluCE JLle 6CACCtAOA OA AGdCy their best bet. At the same time the matter of New Haven county representation on the ticket is yet to be decided but State Senator John F. Lynch of West Haven ap- pears to have the inside track in the race for the nomination for controller. He is not running for reelection to the senate this year, having declined to accept renom- ination because of his desire to attain higher post in the state government.
 His chief opponent for the nom- lnatiOn Is William Mulligan of Hartford, prominent K. of 0. Oiii- cial. The Iattcr's chances, how. ever, depend largely on who gets the gubernatOriaI nomination. If States Attorney Hugh M. AlcOrn of Hartford is n0nainatad Mulli-

gan's chances of going on the ticket will immediately vanish.
 When the democratic congress sional convention in the fourth district convenes in Bridgeport, September 2lst, the name of Mar tin German, Danbury fur manu- facturer, will be placed in nomi- nation. Two others are in the race, Mayor Alfred N. Phillips, Jr., of Stamford and Richard Warren of Stratford. Germans friends assert he has @ good chance of winning the nomination as a com promise candidate.
 Practically on the eve of the 2. o. D. state convention the Young Republican club of Bridgeport has endorsed Peter l.. Madaloni of the Park City for the nomination of secretary of state. The one most prominently mentioned for the of- flee is former Secretary of State Francis A. Pallotti of Hartford. Like Mulligan his chances of go- ing on the ticket depend on the outcome of the Alcorn- Brown Til- son gubernatorial nomination con- test. It must be pointed out also that ex-Senator Albert K. J.avery of Fairfield Is assured of the nom- ination for lieutenant governor. This fact makes Madalonis chances slim.
 Dennis Brunnock, vice-president of the Young Democratic club of Ansonia, is expected to announce his candidacy for mayor on the democratic ticket. At the present time Brunnock is attached to the WPA engineering staff. Others being mentioned for the demo- cratic nomination are Judge Fred erick Mccarthy, ex-Tax Collector \, ,drew F. Nolan, Alderman Will liA Kirby and former Fire Chief JaAAS J. Minch, who ran two year, ego and was defeated.
 DiniS 'ties for the West Hart ford rel bllcan town committee are deS pping rapidly. The trouble Is Ver the seat in the house of rel resentatives now Oc- cupied by Colonel Richard J. Goodman. The latter is now seek ing the senatorial nomination fin his district. George E. Jones, the other republican representative of the town, will seek renOminatiOn. Town Chairman Charles E. Lord and Arthur A. Jackson, Q member of the z. o. p. town committee, are after GOodman's place. Everett D. Dow, commander of the Hayes Velhage post of the American Legion, is also being strongly backed and in the background Is Henry E. Sage, assistant town court prosecutor.
 U. s. Senator Augustine Loner- gan of Hartford has advised delay in the naming of Russell F. Neary as acting postmaster of Bridge port. He has sent Town Chairman John T. Cullinan c telegram slg- gesting that the matter be let go until after election. U. s. Senator r. T. Maloney some time ago sent in a recommendation that Neary be named to succeed the republi- can incumbent, Earle c. Martin. The post of1ice department is awaiting Senator Lonergan's rec ommendation to the same effect. Lonergan's objection to immediate action is likely to be effective.
