seating senatorial district candi-
dates was attacked BY III. Roger
Jones Of New Hartford, leader Of
the Wall forces. II was BY this pro-
cedure that Attorney Wall Is re-
ported to have lost the same nom
nation two years ago to Republi-
can Town Chairman J. Warren
UpsOn of Waterbury, who obtained
the place on the ticket by Hneaget
four votes that year.
Mr.. Jones made fervid plea for
representation Of the smaller COM
mlnities, citing that the extra rep
resentation from the senatorial dis
tricts provided discriminatory
strength for the large towns, IN
this Instance. The move for adop-
ton Of state convention rules, as Of
fered by O. Arthur Dubois Of Wa
terbury, was defeated. The extra IL
delegates would have provided Q
majority for Colonel Rice on the
FIRST ballot, It appeared, when the
vote showed: Rice So; Wall 4S;
Blodgett, 10.
on the second ballot most Of
Blodgett's support went to Rice and
the tally was: Rice SO, Wall, AZ,
Blodgett /.
Colonel Rice was host to dele
gates at q luncheon which follow
ed and the convention closed q
harmonious note with Attorney Wall
pledging support and Joseph E.
Talbot, Of Naugatuck, candidate for
state treasurer, lauding the losers
for their craftsmanship.
Praises Supporters
Colonel Rice thanked supporters
for their efforts In his behalf and
Endorsed the state platform. He
especially cited the efforts Of Yer.
non L. Hall; Asahel w. Mitchell, OF
woodbury.: Charles Rodenback OF
Naugatuck, who succeeded e. r
Kaiser, Of Thomaston, as chairman
Of the convention; Milton Meyers,
secretary Of the convention; Mr.
Kaiser and Adelaide Clayton, for
conduct Of the convention.
Charles DeBisschop and Alder
man Dubois engaged in the wrangle
with Mr.. Jones, the former Water
burian losing his seat as result OF
the vote relating to admission Of the
so-called delegates-at-large. Attor-
ney Morris L. Robin Joined the
contest for seating Of the delegates
and several votes were taken be-
fore the matter was decided.
Mr.. Mitchell, In nominating Col
onel Rice, said, in part:
TT have seen him in waterbury
and every man who comes along
speaks to him and he shows by his
answers that he understands the
problems Of each. At the same time,
he Is from Missouri and he has to
be shown before he will make any
rash answers or promises. He will
be sure he Is right first.
Unanimous
Mr.. Jones in seconding the NOM
ination Of Attorney Wall, said that
he (WalD has the ability OF APP
proach and Is one who wins the
confidence Of the common people"
In making the nomination Of Col
onel Rive unanimous. Mr.. Jones
said: "Litchfield county will come
down to New Haven county with o
majority for Rice in the election"

Immediate Action On
Flood Control Urged
New England Council Takes Initiative in Speeding Up
Program for Future Protection" Against Elements

Boston, Sept. 25-(Special)-Ac-
ton "at the earliest possible mo-
ment" upon the New England food
control program long since approved
by state and federal authorities was
urged here today by President James
w. Hook Of the New England Coun-
Gil In a telegram dispatched to both
Governor Wilbur L. eros, chairman
Of the New England Governors con-
ference, and Harry L. Hopkins, WPA
administrator, scheduled to confer
here tomorrow with other New Eng
land governors, relief authorities,
army engineers and food control
experts.
Text Of Message
The text Of President Hooks tele-
gram read:
"For the third time In eleven
years, substantial portion Of New
England has experienced through
floods, loss Of life, loss Of property,
incalculable human distress and SER
ious disruption Of Its economic life.
TN 1887 there was prepared a
comprehensive program for food
control on the Merrimack and Con-
necticut rivers which, with. their
tributaries, are the chief sources Of
food damage. This program has
long had the approval Of the COVER
nors Of New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, and Connecticut, and
Of the U. s. Army engineers. It has
also the approval Of the congress Of
the United States. Work could be
started tomorrow morning. Yet to
date, nothing has been done to ex-
ecute this program.
ITO mention only economic as
poets, the New England Council en-
phasizes as strongly as possible,
these facts:
Competition
"Our New England industries are
for the most part highly COMPETE
tive. They cannot hold their place
In the nations markets II they are
to be repeatedly exposed to plant
damage, work stoppage and loss Of
orders due to foods.
4ACy OaAhtOe PAONAdC CAARAOyAiACkAV
to the workers dependent upon them
In the face Of destruction Of factor
les, loss Of power facilities and loss
Of business. They cannot repeatedly
provide capital for repairs and re-
placements.
Similarly, New England agricul-
ture must meet competition from
other areas. Our farmers are In
large part bound to their present
lands. They, too, need and require
the maximum protection from dew
astating floods that engineers and
public authority can jointly provide.
"As soon as the major human
needs Of the current emergency are
met, ownership, management and
workers, in both industry and agri-
culture will ask: What price food
control? rE
1.-THE New England Council, rep
resentative Of industry, commerce
and agriculture, urges joint action
by oil authorities concerned at the
very earliest possible moment for
immediate Inauguration Of the flood
control works that New England so
desperately needs"
