Names of Candidates For U. s. Senator, Attorney
 General Added

The ballots that Connecticut vot- CTS will cast on Tuesday, November 8, 1888, will be longer than those of two years ago, whether the vote is by machine or paper ballot. There are two more candidates on the list of those to be nominated at the va- rious party state conventions than there were in 1886.
 This is accounted for by the pres ence this year of candidates for at- torney general. There was no elec- tion of an attorney general in 1886, as the office is filled only every four years and the last election of an attorney general took place in 1884

PRESIDENT SHUNS

Ignores Questions About
Felony Plan Offered by
Senator Minton.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt ignored ques-
tions at his press conference today
about bill introduced by Senator
Minton, Democrat, of Indiana to make
it felony for newspaper to publish
as fact anything known to be false.
In a discussion of the bill at his
press conference he said he thought
the matter would have to be referred to
the Prison Commission.
After laughter subsidized. questioner
asked If he was for the bill
Mr. Roosevelt avoided a direct re-
ply, saying he did not want to have to
build any more prisons, and that he
was trying to cut down the cost of
Government.
He replied in similar vein when
asked about report that the Govern
ment was about to start a newspaper.
Magazines and other periodicals
also would be covered by the bill
which Senator Minton introduced.
Penalties would be fines, imprisonment
or siX-month loss of mailing privi-
leges.
Senator Mintons criticism of the
Nations press brought from Senator
Burke, Democrat, of Nebraska the as
Sertion that the overwhelming ma
1ority of the people feel no sympathy
or approval for these attacks on the
press"
Speaking to reporters, Senator
Burke added: Whenever l find an
individual who berates the press and
runs it down. can put my finger on
some one who would prevent the free
expression of views by any one who
opposes him"
During his speech Senator Minton
said that the American Newspaper
Publishers Association wanted to
curb the radio. He declared:
They don't want you to speak the
truth over the radio because the radio
gives the lie to the propaganda that
appears IN the sheets of this country"
He contended the radio was the
only way" the administration could
present its case to the people.

Accompanying him to the financial

Mr. Ford made the excursion to the

Mr.. Ford stopped, shook hands with
Mr.. Lamont and said a few words
Then he departed.
Mr.. Ford last night gave the Ma
tons newspaper publishers and the
public something to null over-a few
puzzllng sentences in which they
sought to discover his personal opin-
ion of the national administration.
Mr.. Ford lunched with President
Roosevelt Wednesday,
One sentence was this:
We are all on the spot, and stick
to your guns, and I will help you,
with the assistance of my son, all
can"
Looking for Leader.
Three other sentences, spoken to
publishers employes-the reporters
at clamorous press conference YES
terday, were:
People are looking for a leader.
They ought to be their own leaders.
but they're looking for a leader. And
they've got leader who is putting
something over on them, and they
deserve it."
At that he stopped, naming no
names. When asked for a direct COM
ment on his White House talk We'd

be IS on July 80, replied smiling:
Well, you never heard me say
anything about the President, did you?
What's the use? He's trying to do

Publishers Cheer Speech.
Later, when requested to amplify
his six-second, one-sentence "on-the-
spot speech at the Bureau of Adver-
tising dinner for the American News

ton, he paused in the push around
him and said:
I'VE fellows are on the spot Just
as much as the press is on the spot.
The whole thing is to kill competition"
Asked who was putting I'VE fellows"
on the spot, he said The men be-
hind the Government, the powers
that be, are after us just as much as
they are after the press"
However the publishers interpreted
his enigmatic speech, they stood and
cheered when he made it.
