ting liquor stores, in 10 counties had
been passed and at which generalissi-
mo Gale K. Burgess of the dry forces
and his legislative leaders and the con-
troll leaders were present. In the
course of this conference, the control
leaders agreed to vote for Statewide
control law if the drys would go along
with them. But Burgess refused to
consider any compromise, with the
result that the county plan was allow
ed to stand as already enacted.
Some of the dry leaders now frank
ly admit they believed the county con-
troll system would become so deeply
involved in county politics and be-
come so putrid that the people would
would rebel against the county stores
and county control system. But the
county control advocates realized this
and in most instances saw to it that
the county ABC boards were COM
posed of the ablest and best men that
could be found The result was that
the conduct of the county liquor stores
in most counties has been without
scandal, crookedness, graft or involve
ment in local politics, most observers
agree.
But the 1887 General Assembly en-
acted the new State liquor control law
which gives the State Control Board
very wide powers to supervise county
stores and county control boards with
the result that this board has promul-
gated rules and regulations much
more stringent than those formerly
put into effect by the county boards
1t has told the county boards that
they must put the conrol idea upper
most operate the liquor stores strict
ly on business basis, spend more on
law enforcement and the stamping out
of Bookkeeping. And the county
boards and stores are cooperating
with the State board in all these
things.
All of which is breaking the hearts
of the bone drys. For they had been
confident that with legal liquor
stores there would be more drunken
ness, more bootlegging, more drunken
driving, more crime and more of
everything that was bad and undesir-
able. What has happened, according
to those who have watched the situa-
ton, is that liquor stores and liquor
control has made it more difficulty to
buy liquor has decreased drunken
ness, crime and bootlegging.

county and State authorities and the
agents of the Federal Bureau of In

in their relations.
"The Federal men think it is kid
naping," he said 1--WE think it is muir

that theory and to act quickly. There
seems to be evidence enough to make
it, possible to present the case to a

This official said robbery did not
appear to be a motive, so far as the
local men could determine, but de-

 State Capitol, Hartford, April S8 Especial to the Democrat) Demo- cratic State Chairman J. Francis Smith of Waterbury is not afraid to burn his bridges behind him on the supreme court expansion plan. Interviewed late yesterday after noon here he asserted that he would do all over again what he did last Friday when he appeared before the U. S.. Senate judiciary committee and not only attacked President Franklin D. Roosevelt D. Rocsevelt's plan, but also severely criticised Postmaster General James A. Farley and Secretary of the In- terior IickeS.
 Didn't you possibly leave your self in a hole?" State Chairman Smith was asked.
 I'm willing to chance that" was his reply.
 Predicts Defeat
 Continuing Chairman Smith pre- dicted that the United States sem ate will surely beat the presidents supreme court plan. He further predicted that Connecticut's dele gates will be five against the bill and three for 1t. He expressed the opinion that Congressman William J. Fitzgerald of Norwich, who here- tofore has been credited with desir- ing to ''go along" with the president will be opposed to the bill.
 State Chairman Smith does not feel that the democratic party in Connecticut will suffer split be cause of the supreme court issue. He predicted continued unity in Connecticut's democratic organiza- tion even though leaders of the party are taking sides for and against the presidents supreme court expansion plan.
