Roosevelt Hailed As
 "Createst Democrat"
U. s. Senator Maoney EulOgizes Nations Executive
 in Keynote Address Before Convention Delegates

Eastern Point, Conn, Sept. "A. (UP)-Delivering the kenote address before the Democratic state converl- ton, U. s. Senator Francis T. Mall oney asserted last night he consid- cred President Roosevelt "the great- est Democrat of our generation" but maintained his individual right to oppose new deal legislation involv- ing "the adoption of dangerous leg islative precedents."
 q have never considered that unanirnity on specific issues was necessary for the maintenance of Q healthy liberalism in government" he declared to the HOO delegates.
 "On the contrary, I have cohsid- cred that the great strength of our party has been that 1t never per- mitted 8 squelching of sincere dif- ference of opinion.
 My conscience and fny mind are clear"
 "Under President Roosevelt's lead- ership," he said, "the administra- ton of national affairs is supported by popular endorsement to Q degree unparalleled in the history of our country.
 We move in the triumph of the Democratic liberalism to which I have referred. So emphatic has been the peoples approval of the dynamic and humane action in government for which the Democratic party stands, that 1t is doubtful If any other theory of government will long survive in this country"
 Maloney asserted he was not dis loyal" to President Roosevelts lead- ership because he had not voted with the new deal lon the enact inent of a few specific measures"
 He said, II am firmly and sincere ly convinced that despite what mis- takes there have been, the way ot President Roosevelt has been the right way.
 "To me 1t seemed the keynote Of this campaign should be based upon the purposes and the philosophy of our party--true liberalisn-eco- homie and social justice-and dec- laratioii of faith in our party and its leadership, and an undying faith in the goodness of God"
 Maloney paid tribute to the suc- cesses of these years under Governor Cross,1 and added: we have wit. messed the smashing of . political dictatorship in the state of Con- necticut.
 "'The government has been pretty much returned to the people, and the mechanism of our government machinery Is being given added mo- fnentum under the direction of our party associates.

 With the statement that leach voter has the right to exercise his individual franchise" Senator Gull hane offered vigorous objection to the motion of MT. Smith. At this time Delegate Eugene Crosby shout ed that he would not allow his vote to be used unless he cast his ballot as he pleased.
 Tn the midst of all the confusion, Senator Culhane amended the fno- ton again--asking that the unit be instructed to vote for Tone.
 Hopes for Defeat
 To this MT. Smith commented: And I hope the amendment>is Is de- feated."
 After the Tone vote had been de- feated,. and the Hewes vote was recommended, senator CulhAt1e moved that action on the Hewes vote be tabled until this morning. ' The motion was defeated when Mr. Smith cried, I'm sick and tired of listening to this business of ob- st hction." The delegates then pro- c6ded to endorse HeWeE.

Eastern Point, Sept. 14.-Attend- ing the opening of the Democratic state convention here yesterday as delegates from Naugatuck, Leo and Matthew Scully of PA Prospect street. Naugatuck, had just regis tered when they were forced to re- turn home. They were informed that their mother had suffered 8 serious shock.
 The news of their mothers seri- ous condition was delivered to the men less than ten minutes after they had registered at The Gris- wold. They immediately retrieved their luggage and started for home.
 Matthew was attending as dele- gate, and Leo, who is superintendent of the Naugatuck department of public works, was attending as an alternate. Their mother, Mrs. Mary Scully, was reported in serious condition today.

 Such in brief is the record of seven years in the public service. A considerable number of our rec- concentrations have failed to be- come laws. Others are held in suspense. But concede no lost causes. am still in favor of all the measures we have recommend- ed in previous platforms, for they are based upon sound public poli- cies. But 1t is fruitless to turn ones eyes to the past except for a point of vantage. The suns shadow can no longer be turned backward on the dial for the ben- eft of holy Hezeklah or for the benefit of any political party. I stand with you foursquare on the platform you have adopted, with my eyes facing the rising sun as 1t climbs the heavens of another morning,

 JOSEPH M. TONE

Eastern Point, Sept. 14 Demo- cratic delegates from Litchfield county, at a caucus held this morn ing for the purpose of effecting a permanent organization, voted in an informal poll in favor of Labor Commissioner Joseph Tone for lieu tenar1t-governor.
 Judge w. Harry Byrnes, of Oak vile, who presided at the caucus, declared that the Democratic voters of Litchf1eld county deserve more recognition from the state organi- zation than they have received in recent years.
 Named to the permanent organi- zation committee were H. Lane Ogle of Woodbury; Judge R. Calder of New Hartford; James B. Rutledge of North Canaan; Senator Anthony Telescax, of Torrington; and Ed- ward Doyle of Winchester.

CoUemor Wilbur [. Cross Comedies No Lost Causes In Acceptance Speech

and the execution of a large build- ing program. Provisions were made for budget director, a per- sonnel director, supervisor of purchases, and a department of public works. Hitherto these pow CTS were distributed with the re- suit that the state administra- ton sometimes came to the end of a biennial period with a defi- ciency of approximately three million dollars. Until the fiscal year just closed the budget has not been held in balance since 1892. During this period there was created a deficit of more than twelve million dollars, which will 11ecessitate, as authorized by the general assembly, a bond issue covering this deficit before the close of the present calendar years.
 First of all, the new legislation requires of the governor strict control of the expenditures of all departments and institutions of the state without material cur- tailment of their services. In carrying out the injunction of the general assembly, there has been adopted preaudit system where by departments and institutions have been placed upon quarterly allotments. The plan has result- ed in notable reduction over the old way in the cost of the serv- ices now being performed by the government. Establishment of the merit system under the personnel director gives assurance that only competent men and women shall be appointed to the civil service, as shown by competitive tests. There is a strong and growing sentiment in favor of incorporat- ing as an amendment to our Con- stitution the underlying princi- pies of merit system. With this sentiment, which is certain to prevail, soon or late, I concur. It is safe estimate that the super visor of purchases has already saved for the state at least four teen hundred thousand dollars. AS a result of the financial re- organization, taken as a whole, the general fund receipts for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1888 exceeded the general fund dis bursementS by safe margin, notwithstanding that there have been capital outlays and extra ordinary disbursements out of the general fund aggregating nearly two million dollars.
 Balancing Budget
 Balancing the general fund budget has been the most difficult task I have undertaken since be- coming governor. It is finished.
 The state is now engaged in the most extensive building program in its history, covering the Con- necticut State college and nearly all our humane institutions, in- cluding a new training school for detectives at Southbury, and home for disabled veterans at Rocky Hill. For carrying out the program, the general assembly ap- propriated $1l,000,000 out of an authorized bond issue with the understanding that an unexpend- ed balance in the sinking fund of former bond issue, amount ing to a million, three hundred and eighty thousand dollars may be used towards the construction of the Veterans Home. For the various projects included in the building program, the federal gov ernment has set aside WPA and PWA grants amounting to fully nine million dollars. Thus the to- tai funds available for the build
