GOV. MURPHY IS
VERY CRITICAL

Boston, Feb. 13-(UP) - Francis
p. Murphy. republican governor OF
New Hampshire, has nothing but
criticism" for the leadership OF his
party.
I'm the words Of John Hamilton,
our national chairman, 1t has lost
the pulse Of the people" he told
republicans last night at the Mid
dlesex clubs annual Lincoln night
dinner.
1.-THE difference Of approximately
II ,0O0,000 votes in the election can
be traced to the votes Of the ma
tons 100000 workers" he said.
1--WE live today in different era
and 1t Is great effort for many men
In the seats of the mighty to realize
that the economic condition OF the
nation has changed.
1.-THE point of view OF the repub-
lican organization is all wrong. 1t
must give more consideration TO the
workers. The party will perish
unless we give more consideration
to human rights"
His views we're corroborated by u.
8. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr..
who referred TO the speech as "one
with which we all agree"
Neither Lodge nor Murphy COM
mented directly on President Roose-
vclts judicial proposal.

HEARING ON JAIL
FARM TUESDAY

ton OF the plank In the party plat
form calling for the establishment
OF Jail farm. The plank was in
serted. however. because Governor
Wilbur l.. Cross insisted upon 1t.
County commissioners and the
various county Sheriffs throughout
the state are, generally speaking,
opposed to the setting up of GEN.
trail jail farm. On the other hand,
those supporting the measure con-
tend that the farm would be the
ideal place TO segregate persons
serving short terms In Jail who are
not criminally inclined. The county
jails would be reserved for the ha-
bitual and more hardened criminals
under the plan proposed.
Waterbury Interested
Waterbury Is especially interested
In the jail farm bill this year be-
cause the proposal has been been
that part Of the farmland OF State
Referee Frederick M. Peasley. In
Cheshire, be used as the site for the
jail community.
Two years ago when the jail farm
bill was defeated by the legislature
the state had on option on land In
Glastonbury. This option has since
expired but In the meantime the
state board OF finance and control
has obtained an option on portion
OF the Peasley farm In Cheshire.
Supt. Erskine FavOrs
Superintendent George G. Erskine
of Cheshire reformatory, in his an
nual report to Governor Cross sew
eral weeks ago, recommended the
setting I'D Of the new jail farm,
should the plan be approved by the
legislature, on the Peasley land. The
farm would adjoin the site OF the
Cheshire reformatory. 1t Is con"
tended that Cheshire Is centrally
located In Connecticut while Glas-
tonbury is rather out-of-the-way.
Ali Of the directors Of the Ches-
hire reformatory, and not alone
Mr.. Harris, are understood TO favor
Superintendent Erskines plan 70
have the jail farm located IN
Cheshire next TO the reformatory.
