70 Influences ana the communist
leaders that the present state ad-
ministration has welcomed with
open arms"
I'VE must also realize that the
expenditure OF public funds Is q
public trust. The wastefulness and
misuse of public funds by the pre-
sent administration Is almost un-
believaIble. 1t Is certainly not in ac-
cord with the principles Of our
Farmer-Labor party. This reck-
less spending which Is staggering
property owners under unbearable
tax burdens must be stopped"
The plank in our 1886 platform
calling for civil service was sabo-
tagged by administration leaders
when they defeated a good proposal
by the Minnesota Federation Of La
Dor and the League Of Women Vo-
tiers. What you know, what you do,
and how you do 1t, Is the basis of
the merit system and efficient gov
ernmental service. Adoption Of the
merit system in Minnesota would
make 1t impossible to maintain
political machine constructed on
the basis Of patronage. Elections
would then become contests based
on issues instead Of patronage"
~ am not bringing dissension in
to the Farmer-Labor party. Exist
ing dissension is due to the dis
ruptive leadership of those now In
control"
1.-THE Farmer-Labor Association
by it's constitution does not admit
to membership those who believe
in the overthrow of government by
force. Yet the present state admin
istration has eagerly placed on its
payrolls men and women who for
years have been active in the Com
munist party. Men who darned and
cursed Governor Olson are enthus-
iastically accepted by our present
Governor. Such betrayal of the
trust placed in him has well nigh
destroyed the faith of thousands of
Farmer-Laborites and independent
voters who in the past campaigns
have supported our cause. 1t Is this
alignment with the Communists
that caused thousands Of Farmer
Labor voters to leave our party in
the 1887 Minneapolis city election"
1.-THE charge of Communism
against the Farmer-Labor party in
the past was ridiculous and untrue.
What evidence Of Communism can
one find in the public careers OF
Knud Wefald, Magnus johnson and
Floyd Olson? But charge that the
present Governor has taken prom
inent Communist leaders into his
fold and used his high office to
further their program"
II abhor the Communistic teach
ings of overthrow Of government by
and the destruction of
the church. would rather be de-
feated without the support of this
clement than elected
with 1t. I will not bargain with
those seeking to lead us from the
principles of our party and our de-
parted leaders. My concern Is the
fate Of our party and the fate of
the great liberal movement in Min
nesota. We must purge our party of
Communications borers from
we intend to keep 1t a
Farmer-Labor party"
Administration henchmen are
spreading the propaganda that II I
ann nominated and elected Cover
nor the Farmer-Labor party will be
wrecked. They know that what will
happen is that the Capitol Hill pol
itical machine will be wrecked. The
party did not go on the rocks while
I was Governor. But I charge that
it has been well nigh wrecked dur
ing the past year under the present
state administration. -

Waterbury counted 1860 families on relief today. the greatest number constituting the waifare depart ment's burden, as reports gained circulation that the depth of the present depression had passed, that numerous of the recipients of the city,s welfare are being called back to work; that the recovery meas ures of the national administration are penetrating to Waterbury and providing relicf-cmployment,

 The monthly report of the welfare department submitted today by Mrs. Mary Doyle Camp. supervisor. show ed, however. that nearly 100 moro families had joined the relief ranks during June than were receiving aid in May. The May case load showed ,5g4 families, or 06 fewer than at the end of last month.
 Indications during the first weeks of the current month are however. that the tremendous load of relief has reached and passed It's high mark. record of all time in the city. The load has been increasing stead fly and with volume since last fall. with each month averaging between 50 and 100 more families added to the lists.

"C0nnecticut Yankee" Now
 Heads Young Republicans

James Belden Lowell of Canton, president Of the Connecticut Young Repub icans, is a "Connccticut Yankee" by several generations. Born fin Mcriden, March 24, 1904. he was raised in that city and in Canton, where he now resides.
 He attended grade school and one year of high school in Meri- den. The family moved in 1919 to Canton, where MT Lowell. Sr,. purchased a large tract of land on Avon Mountain, which wab later 10 become most profit able summer colony development. Young Lowell went two years To High school there. and then 4 year at the Dean Academy at Franklin. Mass.. where he receiy- ed him high school diploma. after which he matriculahd at Dart mouth.
 At Dartmouth, he laid the foundation for his political career by ma4oring in political science, and taking an important part in undergraduate activities, He was 4 member of Theta Chi fraternity. and treasurer and house manager for two years. He was a member of the Dartmouth boxing and golf squads.
 Although spending A great a. mount of time at his studies and in participation in college life. he established his independence by working AS salesman and At odd jobs 10 earn practically all of the money needed for his expenses.
 Following hia graduation in 1927, he launched his business career, choosing the field Of in- suranct. After two years prom inenL firms in New Haven and Waterbury, he quit insurance for real estate, joining his father, J. E. E. Lowell, in developing the Land of Nod and Secret Lake, the property which Mir Lowell Sr.. had acquired when he moved 10 Canton from Meriden.
 The marked success of this cn- terprlse culminated in 1881, in the construction -- during the depth of the depression--of one of the finest, priVately-owned public golf courses in New England. While workers were being laid of by hundreds, the Lowells brought men twelve miles from Hartford and gave them work on the golf course over il period of almost A. year, turning bog and rough. improbable farm land into pro- ductivc enterprise.
 Deeply interested AS he was in the growth of the town. he soon became equally engrossed in the political life of Canton. Of pro- gfeasiyc tendency. he joined a small group Of fellow citizens de- sirOus of building new high school, and fought successfully the "conaerVtiyes" and stand paLters" who tried to block the move to bring about the cOnstruc- tion of an up-to-date. modern plant of learning. In 1883. he be- came member of the school board, il membership to which he Is named election after election. He has been a justice of the peace since 1882, having been elected four times. He has been on the Republican Town committee since 1882. He iH also district Are war den.

0auging of the welfare demands has been impossible in terms of pre- diction, officials remarked inAs- much as there has been no cri- terion for the rapidity with which the current depression struck the economic structure Of this city. As many business leaders have pointed out, the present depression arrived with a rush and It's unexpected I'm. petus threw out of line all proyi- sions made for its reception.
 This latterly phase has been re- marked in the welfare department to such degree that the budget pro- visions of the department which were made in the comparative prosperity" of last year, have been under strenuous drain. It was to this purpose that the board of fi- nance recommended the 10 per cent pay cut for all city employees to provide about $l920 GOO to bolster the dwindling resources of the welfare department.
 Confidence
 Optimism that even the slight in- crease in employment which marked the first weeks Of this month will mean the turning point, has been expressed by business men and wei. fare department officials. IL was re- marked that several hundred em- ployes in local factories have beer called back to work recently, after lay offs of several months. and that business conditions appear to be or the upgrade at long last.
