ldependent Democrats "Sold Out to Republican Clique
|WINDHAM MADE PROTEST TO coy.
DepOsing of Cavanaugh as County Commissioner
 Did Not Please

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 2e-(UP)- The entire Windham County Democratic delegation to the 1887 General Assembly today protested the action" of Gov. Wilbur Cross in 6eposing Albert J. Cavanaugh, Kill- ingly, as county commissioner. In Q strongly-worded letter to the gover- nor, the delegation expressed its confidence" in Cavanaugh, who was replaced by Mrs. Elizabeth Swain, Pomfret. Both are Democrats.
 What Letter Says
 The letter, signed by IA legislators said:
 eve the undersigned, comprising Q majority of the legislative body of Windham County, do hereby pro- test the action you have taken in not re-appointing Albert J. Cavanaugh as county commissioner.
 ''In January, 1887 we, as a body, unanimously favored his re-ap- pointment, knowing him to be an honest, competent and respected public official.
 After having reviewed and studied the report of the Windham County Investigating committee we find no reason for receding from our former position.
 Admirable Reputation
 "As ueighbors of MT. Cavanaugh and knowing the admirable reputa- ton which he enjoys among his many friends and acquaintances throughout the state of Connecticut, we wish to express to you our re- newed confidence in his value as 8 public officials"
 Cavanaugh was 8 member of the board of management of the Wind ham County temporary home Tor children, investigated recently by a legislative committee seeking evi. dences of alleged inmoralities ana irregularities in accounts.

Mayor Hayes is concerned, he can and DOES speak for him- self. He will attend to the re- marks addressed to HIM by MT. Culhane in due time. TONIGHT I am paying attention to the statements MT. Culhane has made about ME.
 Let me, therefore, start at the beginning. I was described as 8 financial wizard. I appreciate the compliment, although I do not think 1t was intended to be & compliment. The word wizard" has various definitions. One of them is that Q wizard is a person supposed to possess supernatural powers from having leagued him. self to the Evil One. Perhaps, that was the definition MT. Gull hane had in mind when he called me a financial wizard. Perhaps he intended to describe as the Evil One, the Democratic party in Waterbury; the party whose principles he abandoned when he decided to become the nominee of political groups which are neither Republican nor Democrat; the party whose support he sought on occasions when he was Its can didate for the state Senate; the party to which he owes debt of gratitude for lifting him from ob. scurity into whatever prominence he now enjoys.
 Wise, Prudent
 But the word wizard which MT. Culhane says I am, has another definition. It is another way of saying that a man is WISE and PRUDENT. If MT. Culhane in- tended to use that definition of wizard" as applied to me, I am willing, in all modesty, to accept 1t. For I have tried, to the ut most of my ability, to handle the financial affairs of the City of Waterbury in such way that the handling might, honestly and justly be described as wise and prudent.
 So whether I am @ financial wizard or not is beside the point. At any rate do not think I am stupid and I WOULD be stupid to use figures with which MT. Culhane might try to trip me. In my first radio talk I gave a set of figures on the several matters about which MT. Culhane had ut- tered falsehoods. Among them were the expenditures of the City

 Bonneville Dam, Ore, Sept. 28.-- (UP)-President Roosevelt stood to- day before the New Deals $51, ,000,- 900 dam site here and coupled a promise to balance the budget in the next fiscal year with @ policy of the widest use" for the hydro- electrical energy to be developed by this and similar federal projects.
 He forecast the possibility of new Pittsburghs-vast cities of whirling machinery--arising to concentrate 0 great industrial population on the rural landscapes immediately ad- jacent to these vast undertakings.
 But MT. Roosevelt proposed, in- instead, that the power should be used over the countryside as widely as possible, to denote farm steads and to small communities 50 that they may enjoy modern cleo. trical blessings and thrive.
 Rccommitted His Regime
 To that end he recoinmitted his administration to national planning for the future fin seven or eight m. tural geographical regions" A bill to create Tennessee Valley Author ity type developments ir each sec- ton Is spending before congress.
 One of these regions he found spread before him today. The Presl- dent said that the larger parts of the states of oregon, Washington and Idaho and parts of Montana should be regarded as unit in this federal plan because they com- promise the watershed of the Co., lumbia river which is barriered now by Bonneville dam here and the greater Grand Coulee.
 MT. Roosevelt here reaffirmed his faith in the St. Lawrence waterway plans which were developed when he was governor of New York. He predicted that the waterway ulti- rnately would be constructed. He drew upon his experience in plan- ming that project in explaining his widest use" policies for all federal hydro-electrical power undertakings.
 Wiser Counsel Prevailed
 "The good people who lived with in Q few miles of the proposed (St. Lawrence) dam were enthused," he said "by the prospect of building up @ huge manufacturing center close to the source of the power--

 proved that MT. Culhane had distorted the facts until they were absolute falsehoods. The only an- swer he has been able to make is to say You're Another.
 That sort of argument may sat- isfy MT. Culhane. It does not sat- isfy the voters of Waterbury. I said that MT. Culhane had re- sorted to falsehoods in the effort to bolster-up his candidacy. I proved his statements were false hoods and I showed specifically where and how they were false.
 I repeat emphatically that they were false.
 Wizards
 In his latest speech, MT. Cul- hane described myself and Mayor Hayes as financial wizards. He claims for us what we never claimed for ourselves. As far as

CANDIDATE GIVEN
 NOLLE IN COURT

City court was quickly over today with only q few scattering cases up for trial before Judge Edward Mas colo. Attorney Mitchell Meyers was prosecutor.
 Frank J. Wall, candidate for Reg" istrar of Voters on the Independ. ent-Democrat ticket, had his case nolled on payment of s5. He wac charged with reckless driving a. the result of an accident which oc- cured Sunday night at the corner of North Main and Savings streets The arrest was made by Motor Patrolmen James Wagner and Conrad Baril.
 Andrew Craig, colored, of 19S Bishop street was given a three months suspended sentence on Q charge of drunkenness. He was fined 1S and costs on ari additional charge of breach of the peace.

his national planning was "decen- tralizing" instead of otherwise.
 MT. Roosevelt came here toward the end of e transcontinental "pulse touching" journey which his asso- ciates believe has demonstrated continued popular support for New Deal objectives.
 Vigorous defense of New Deal ra- tional planning and power policies here was typical of the strategy MT. Roosevelt has followed in meeting the people from the Atlantic coast westward. There was not in today's address nor in any previous, any di- rect reference to the supreme court bill or to charges that Associate Justice Hugo L. Black was Q menn- Der of the Ku Klux Klan.

questions about his contributions to the Mutual Aid over which he wept crocodile tears. Perhaps, he will condescend to answer this one.
 Asks For Record
 Why did MT. Culhane ask the Comptroller of the State of Con- necticut last January to furnish him ct the States expense, a chauffeur to drive his car to and from the Capitol in Hartford while the Legislature was in ses- sion; the same Legislature in which he was POSING, as he is now, as 6 friend of the common man and the down-trodden tax payer?
 Let MT. Culhane answer that question? And while he is about that let him also answer these questions:
 This administration is standing on its record. On that record we are willing to be judged. Is MT. Culhane willing to be judged on his record as Q BUSINESS man and as an officer holder? What is his record as a business man? Why does he not prodoce his rec ord as business man? When will he produce his record and stop talking about 1t?
 MT. Culhane has emphasized the fact that the affairs of the City of Waterbury is big businessl I knew that before MT. Culhane found 1t out. It is big business and 1t requires man with @ big bus iness record of achievement tc properly handle 1t. Will MT. Cul- hane kindly PRODUCE his record in the business worldp

CITY TAKES STEP TN SEX CRIMES
Miss Crowley Reports on Preventive Plan Here;
 Checkup Suspects

An analysis of reports and state- mentS made at the second annual New England Conference on proba- tion, parole, institutional treatment, and crime prevention by Miss Kath- leen Crowley, juvenile probation of- ficer, who returned Sunday from the session in Providence, R. l., reveals that Waterbury has taken the first steps towards checking sex crimes.
 For some time local police have been separating this type of offend CT. Persons who have annoyed chill dren or shown lea1ingS towards sex abnormalities are required to make weekly visits to Chief Inspector Jo- seph P. Stevens.
 This check-up by local police in an effort to curb any serious sex crimes in Waterbury is advocated by all authorities on crime as well as those actually engaged in work of this type. Tightening of paroles is regarded as sure means of holding persons inclined towards sex crimes in check.
 In addition to the weekly visit to Inspector Stevens the suspect is forced to give an account of his activities during the previous week. Change of address, employment, etc. must also be given the police. This type of surveillance is advocated by J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the Fed eral Bureau of Investigation.
