 Gov. Cross also spoke at Fairfield where he predicted President Roose- velt's visit to Connecticut will help to put the state in the democratic column. At Bloomfield, U. S. Dis trict Attorney Robert P. Butler charged employers were conducting an "underhand" attack on the social security act by informing workers erroneously of provisions of the measoure through slips placed in thir envelopes. At the meeting, state comptroller Charles 0. Swartz said T don't think Landon ever wrote one of his speeches. Several of them have been written by Hearst men right in Norwalk."
 In a Hartford broadcast, Walter E. Patterson, republican candidate for Congress from the first district accused Rep. Herman F.

 At the arena, Humility attacked republicans for their opposition to the New Deals reciprocity trade agreements.

BOSTON IS SENT
 NOVEL BALLOT
One of Absentee Kind Comes From Florida;
 Officials Are Puzzled

Boston, Oct. 27.-(UP)-AbSentee ballots sent out by the state of Florida fail to designate the party affiliations of the candidates, a woman resident of that state com- plained to the secretary of states office here today.
 (Which are which?" asked Mrs. Nellie M. Cowles of Florida as she showed the ballot to Deputy Secre- tary of State William G. Grundy. T want to cast my first repubI- can vote this year and I am 63 years old and I can't tell who are the republicans and who are the democrats"
 Was Queer Ballot
 "That is the queerest ballot I have ever seen," Grundy.
 The ballot was headed:
 Official ballot. General Election. Nov. 3, 1886. Mark a cross beside your choice"
 The ballot then lists the candi- dates without party designations. It indicates tllaht the voter should vote for seven presidential electors. Under this line of instruction are listed IA names all in one group with nothing to distinguish demo- crats from republicans.
 Mrs. Cowles sought from the sec retary of states office the names of the Florida republican candi- dates. She was referred to the re- publican state committee, which supplied the information, explain ing 1t had received II similar re- quests.

He an- nounced that extra rolice will be on duty in all sections of the city Saturday night, Halloween, and said that all street patrolmen have been instructed to be on the watch for any attempts at damaging pri- vate property during the remainder of the present week.

Police will not interfere with any person or group engaged in having innocent fun either on or before Halloween, but the men will promp- tly place under arrest anyone whose conduct becomes objection able in any way. The department will not tolerate any chalking up of buildings, cutting of clothes-lines, or any other such tactics. Private pro- perty and private citizens will be protected in every way possible"
 Mild Thus Far
 Pre-Hallowe'en activities thus far have been mild. Police have received no complaints of major consequence, but Supt. Roach urged any resident who suffers from depredations caused by celebrators to report the incidents at once to police head quarters. :.

They discussed the topic, Does its underlying philosophy warrant the continuance of the New Deal" The educator who recently attacked the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin's financial propositions, declared the New Deal is based on the following two as- suinptions:
 That two much of the national income is going into saving than spending.
 2-That too much of the national income is going into dividends and two little to workers and farmers,
 Opponents of the administration; Msgr. Ryan said, offer only a ''iaisscz-faire" policy to treat these problems.
 McConaughty, who prefaced his remarks with the belief President Roosevelt will be elected next week, said he was tout of sympathy with the New Deal because of its Qualification of waste, lack of plan ming. its opposition to the cardinal principles of life in America, the constitution, states rights, con- centration of power in Washington, q policy of revolution instead of evolution. its ureachment of re-
