in the recent local campaign, and various other elements in the state G. O. P. Major John Buckley, of Union, another Old Guard leader resigned his place on the state com mittee after simla" censure in the report of the Waterbury grand jury in connection with lobbying.
 Willard was opposed by former Alderman Harry B. Kennedy and the contest was the principal inter- est of the Republican caucuses al- though failure of Sen. J. Kenneth Bradley, of Westport, to obtain the delegates to probate convention was of interest to Waterbury Re- publicans inaSmuch as Bradley with National Committeeman Sam uel F. Pryor, Jr., frequently takes part in local affairs.
 It was the Fairfield County com bine of Bradley-Pryor which sent $1, 500 to Waterbury for use last fall in the Fusion campaign and the faction has sought state control of the party throughout the last sev- eral months.
 At Bridgeport, Norman c. Good will, town chairman, and John H Baxter, candidate for the place, di- vided two districts in which lead ership of the committee was the principal issue.

Mercy Campaign:


5000 strong, took the field today,
seeking to raise $2,127,000 to fill
the Community Chest for the next
year.
That sum must be raised If the
81 organized charities in the city
are to carry on their program of
giving aid to the sick and needy,
their social and welfare work, It
was warned at a mass meeting of
Chest workers held last night in

ers attended the meeting, wit
messed a colorful pageant. and
heard addresses by Chest execu-
tiveS and by Dorothy Thompson,
famous columnist and commen-
tator.
In an address that was broad
cast to the entire nation, Miss
Thompson begged her listeners to
give as much as they are able
out of gratitude for their own
fortunate conditions and the fact
they live in democracy.
ASKS GRATEFUL GIVING
Voicing warning that demo
cratic principles will not survive
if people fail to fulfill the reSpon-
sibilitieS that go with citizenship,
Miss Thompson said:
IF you are glad that you are
still a free citizen of a rich
democracy, when the lives of
democracies are at Stake-give
as a testimony that you wish
to remain so.
IF you have a roof over your
head, clothes on your back, food
on your table, care and educa-
ton for your children and work
to do, then give out of gratitude,
for many have none OF these
things"
CAPITAL is EXAMPLE
Warning that the eyes of the
nation are on Washington, and
that success or failure of this
drive will have an important ef-
feet, she said:
What Washington does is an
example and symbol. It de-
wolves upon the people of this
District to do more than meet
the needs Of an average COM
munity; they must furnish the
example for the country, to
demonstrate that in the very
city where is concentrated the
most governmental power is
also concentrated the greatest
voluntary effort and the most
spontaneous generosity.
You will have to furnish a
yardstick not only of good gov
ernment but of good community
relationships"
JENNINGS PRESIDES
Coleman Jennings, president of
the Chest, presided at the meet
ing and introduced the speakers.
"A4d41 u. L A0O4ACAS JA'1 SAAoA AAAoSAA
of the campaign committee, told
the workers:
do not consider the Chest
or the organized charities in this
campaign. Think only of the
people, the men, women and
children, who need your help.
They are your very neighbors
and they are in want. Think of
them as your fellow men, not
just as inanimate cogs in a
charitable program"
LUNCHEON TOMORROW
Newbold Noyes, newspaper edi-
tor, warned the campaign workers
that success or failure of the cam
paign will rest on the generosity
of persons in the middle income
brackets.
The small giver, he pointed out,
is doing better here than any
where in the country, and the
same is true of the large giver
But there has been a drop in the
givers in the middle class which
must be overcome if the cam
paign is to be success.
The first report luncheon of
the campaign will be held tomor-
row at 1890 at the Willard Hotel,
when the first gifts will be re-
ported.
