Italy of the privations of his fam
lily there.
II can't go back this way" he
says, when asked II he wants pas
sage to his family's side. How
would I. help them there. I want
work."
Promised Work
Work he has been promised, he
said, but the New Haven office of
the relief administration has re-
ferred him to Waterbury, and at
Bridgeport 1t was the same, his
story runs.
That he wants work so that he
may care for his family in italy
is obvious; but those on whom he
has called for such relief here can
find no sanction for the discrim-
nation which would serve his
wishes.
He wanders here and there, tell
ing many of his plight, obtaining
bread and meat sometimes from
church, not always the church Of
his people.
And he has been to see the news
papers, thinking that a letter, a
story. might aid him to be placed,
4 has been told that publication of
his name and the rest would not be
good for his attempts to be self
supporting.
But his name Is available should
any feel that they can use a
rough-and-ready fellow who is at
an impasse with a situation bound
by the restrictions Of general need
and its serving.
Help wanted.

about the streets, short, roughly

He Is an italian whose wife and
several children are living in Italy
and he has been In Waterbury for
six years but took out first citizen
ship papers only a few months ago.
Waiting Of Turn
1t Is hard to make. him under
stand that he, too. must wait his
turn for relief or relief work; that
there are many on relief whose
families live here In Waterbury;
that his status, particularly In the
light Of his non citizenship, Is not
as far advanced as that Of bach
elor citizen.
Cong. J. Joseph Smith has seen
him, attempted to do something
for him. Democratic State Chair
man j. Francis Smith has been
importlined and a letter has gone
even to President Roosevelt, al
belt in italian and, possibly, lost
in transit somewhere between the

TRADE AGREEMENT

Colonel Roy Rice Believes

Col. Roy E. Rice, Republican cam

the League Of Nations association
that he felt that some Of State Sec

reciprocal trade agreement, inter-
fered disturbingly with the welfare
of American workers. He stated
further that he firmly believed In the
general theory Of the reciprocal trade.
agreement providing American In
dustries and agricultural products
are protected.
Col. Rice's letter was in reply to q
nationwide congressional poll. In
answer to q question on his feelings
regarding revision of the neutrality
act at the next session Of congress
to provide embargoes on materials
useful in war as well as munitions,
he stated: II have grave doubts
about the effectiveness Of the neu.
trality act. I am very much afraid
the Kellogg pact is now scrap of
paper. / see no indication at all
from the experience which countries
have had with embargoes, etc, that
such an act will be effective in pro-
noting peace. Declared war is no
longer the method Of foreign agrees
sion. The events Of the last few
years indicate quite clearly that this
method is entirely impotent, particu-
larly in the hands Of the league"
Having had first hand knowledge
of the horrors Of war while In sery-
ice in France during the World war,
Col Rice described himself as firm
advocate Of peace, but thinks the
problem should be attacked from q
realistic rather than an ideaistio
point Of view.

This Is a serious charge where no

cupying the position of Nice onaughey
should be chary about this sort OF
misleading and uniformed talk.
Figures in Political Life"
"The professor charges that men
In the Democratic ticket are too old
and that the younger men, on his
ticket will give the people of this
state a better performance. Did the
professor think that Senator Loner-
gan was too old in June, 1888, when
the papers reported that he wrote
Lonergan as follows: UNLESS the
Republican senatorial nominee this
fall is an unusually able man, I
imagine many of the members of
my party may seriously consider
voting for you to show you their
support Of your stand. I want to
tell you quite sincerely that I ap-
preciate the stand you have taken
on many difhcult bills during this
last session and that I cordially
congratulate you and the state, on
the independence Of the judgment
which you have shown" Professor,
do you not still think that the state
is lucky to have as candidate a
man who unquestionably has the re-
Spect and admiration Of so many of
his fellow-citizens In all walks Of
life? rtt
when did Governor Cross first
show that his age had impaired his
great and unique ability to serve our
people? Let's have the details. And
let us have a specific charge that he
is too old now to be reelected and
let's have specific evidence.
"As for Hewes, he is the same age
as McConaughey. Do you feel all
crippled lip, professor?"

Republicans in the small town
elections certainly went to town
in a big way. Not only did the
party capture two additional
towns, but they also recaptured
Stamford and then polled consid-
erably more votes on a total state

three or fours years ago.
