tended the September meeting Of
the Connecticut Probation associa-

Part Of the session was to be
devoted to the proposed state jail

having an excellent chance Of be-

record as favofing the establishment
Of the farm, and q strong comnnit-

working for the proposal.
{ Poll Taken
A poll taken among the nearly 600
members Of the Connecticut Prison
association, waterbury members
said today, showed q prepCnderance
Of sentiment IN favor Of the jail
farm, with complete returns as yet
unavailable. The first report dis
closed that 1888 members favored
the plan, with 16 against and "A

A particularly strong supporter
Of the plan Is Judge Edward Mas

Judge Mascolo pointed out that es-
Enlistment Of Q farm would do
much to solve the problem Of what
to do with the increasing number
Of inebriateS presented for trial In

spect was confirmed by both Mr..
Skillen and Mr.. Morton.
IS. Political abuses in st. Joseph
County.
Senator VanNuys had been adj
vised that a majority of those non
relief employees of the WPA in st.
Joseph County who were candidates
for election as delegates to the state
convention had been selected by the
Montgomery organzation.'
MY investigation indicates that
the above allegations were subst anti
ally correct but that there are 10
evidences that any district or state
administrative official of the PWA
was responsible for the lining up of
these candidates for election as dele
gates. There was bitter primary
fight in this county and one of my
informantS interviewed M. E. Do
ran, who made the charges referred
to by Senator VanNuys. Mr.. Doran
stated that he did not desire to cast
any reflections upon the ability or
qualifications of the nonrelief en-
ployes referred to and that he only
insisted that they should be in
formed that they have the right to
vote their convictions without fear
of losing their positions. This as
surance, of course, was given in your
telegram dated Monday, May 4. 1t
is significant to note that in ST.
Joseph County the group led by Mr.
Doran was overwhelmingly success
full.
I'm general my investigation indi-
Gates very conclusively that while
a number of administrative officials
of the WPA were indiscreet in pub
licly expressing their political pref
erences in the recent primary there
is no evidence from any source to
show that any of them exercised, or
attempted to exercise coercion or tt
improperly influence those working
under their direction to vote for OF
against any candidate. Any mis-
apprehension which might have beer
entertained by Works Progress en-
ployes or project workers was, ir
my opinion, completely allayed by
your telegram of May 4.

TOWNSEND And
COUCHLIN BLOCS
MAP STRATEGY
Social Union Leaders Cool
to Idea of Combining
Forces, Is Claim.
BY ARCH STEINEL

State leaders of the Townsend
Old Age Revolving Pensions Plan
and the National Union for Social
Justice were concerned today with
preparation of fall election plans
that would best advance the objec-
tives of their respective organiza-
tionS.
Two methods have been suggest
ed, it was learned, as follows:
/. A fusion or independent ticket.
2. Obtaining the Endorsement of
nominees Of old line parties for
their platforms.
The National Union leaders, how
ever, look with disfavor on an in
dependent ticket or even a coali-
ton with the Townsend Plan forces
in the November election, promi-
nent Coughlinites declared.
Candidate Support Claimed
o. P. Craig, the organizations
new state supervisor, said that in
dorsements of the 16-point program
of the National Union may be
sought from congressional nom
inees, but decried any plan that
might swing followers of Father
Coughlin into a third party" move.
Mr. Craig and other leaders said
that in the First, Fourth and Fifth
Congressional Districts the Ma
tional Union has received pledges
for its program from Rep. William
T. Schultz, Rep. James Farley ard
Benjamin J. Brown, Kokomo, Re-
publican nominee for Congress in
the Fifth District.
MIR. Brown also has the support
of Townsend Plan adherents, it is
said.
Townsend Convention Set
Though coalition is frowned upon
by the National Union, it has at
tracted some support with Town
send Plan Clubs, it was learned.
1.-THE Townsend Plan leaders are
flirting with the idea of aligning
themselves with the National Union
and also are discussing move for
an independent ticket" one Town
send Plan hacker said
Beth groups include organizers
who feel that their chances of elect
ing Congressman favorable to their
cause would be enhanced if they
supported nominees on both Sides
The Townsend Plan forces are
awaiting state convention to be
held in Castle Hall on June when
it is expected a definite program
will be formulated. Approximately
$50 delegates of state clubs are ex-
pected to attend.
Denies Loss of Strength
The convention is to name a
liaison officer for Indiana who would
work directly under the national
organization.
G. F. McCampbell, state area man
ager, denied reports that the con-
vention might name a separate
Townsend Plan ticket.
He also denied rumors of disin-
tegration of the Townsend move
ment in Indiana.
While Townsend clubs continue
their weekly meetings, the National
Union leaders have shifted their
tactics to a plan of holding unit
meetings in a centrally located
place in downtown Indianapolis.
MIR. Craig recently succeeded

Declares.

whole way. Some of them, partic-
ularly the Southerners, are not yet
ready to do that.
But they will come to see, as the
South is increasingly industrialized,
that their interests lie with us. It
probably is too late for a general
choosing up of new sides before the
fall election. A start can be made,
however, with 1910 in view.
No one who has had an eye on the
political scene for the last IL years
can doubt that the Republican and
Democratic parties have lost their
traditional identity. President
Roosevelt has now made the Demo-
cratic Party the radical party. Let
us accept the challenge on that
basis. Let us stop pussy-footing and
become frankly the conservative OPP
position.
To be conservative, we need not be
reactionary. We can not close our
eyes to the unpleasant fact that
unemployment, farm relief and dis
jointed economy are national
problems or that they have been
knotted and soaked by the New
Deal.
Attacks False Promise"
1t is in our approach to these
problems that we must distinguish
ourselves clearly from the Roose-
welt party. Above all, we must not
adopt the false premise that pros
perity can be regained by limiting
production of real wealth-food
clothing and manufactures.
Nor can we hope to get anywhere
by echoing the Rooseveltian thesis
that industry will permanently i'm
prove and employment expand with
business under the lash of venge-
full government.
Since the Democrats have thrown
it overheard, let us adopt the JET
fersonian thesis that that govern
ment is best which governs least

fessors so often tell us. are indeed
gone, but the industrial frontiers
can still be pushed miles in every
direction. We are not yet so many
and the land is no yet so small that
a goose stepping governmental sys-
TEN offers our only hope for sur
vival.
Pleads for Showmanship
I am not ready to assume that
the people of the United States
must be frozen into castles, pigeon
holed, tagged and wet nursed by the
government at Washington. The
people of this country are still ca
pable of working out their own des-
tiny if given a reasonable chance.
A majority of them want only the
chance. To this majority the Re-
publican party must appeal.
Unless the appeal is fumbled by
political stupidity, We shall come
back into power, perhaps not this
year, but certainly four years hence.
Our immediate concern must nee
essarily be ways and means of
doing up our cause in saleable
package.
Political showmanship is all-im-
portant both for our immediate
self-interest and for the ultimate
good of the country.
Need Captain and Ball
American history records scores
of disastrous political plumbers, any
one of which might have been
averted had party discipline and
leadership been what they should
have been. The rum. Romanism
and rebellion" speech of a mis-
guided preacher, for example, was
probably what put Grover Cleveland
in the White House in 1888.
Had Charles Evans Hughes paid
more attention to Hiram Johnson
in the campaign of 1916, he might
have been President of the United
States. One slip on a political ba-
mana peel may break a whole
party's back.
Any such glazing error in the
next campaign may be the end OF
the Republican Party as we have
known it. A similar error may be
the undoing of the New Deal. Our
team must first find captain cap
able of calling the right plays and
then follow the ball. Right now we
have neither captain nor ball
