The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-06-13

 house. Lieutenant Governor Me- Conoughy, with his cold exterior and scholarly manners, is a man people place confidence in. Def1- nitely not good politician, but a sincere public servant.
 Senator Howard Roberts (R) oi Thomaston was the best committee chairman and one of the best "grinds".
 Senator John Sullivan of New Britain CD was easily the hardest worker.

 In making his appointments for the commissionerships Gov. Baldwin made three which met with the popular approval of all the people of the state, regardless of their po- litical faith.
 Those three nominations include the appointment of Cornelius J. Danaher of Meriden as labor com- missioner; The appointment of Ed ward J. Hickey as superintendent of state police and the reappointment of John Blackall as insurance com- missioner.
 In selecting MT. Danaher the gov- ernor selected the one man in Con- necticut who was sure to meet with unanimous approval. MT. Danaher is known as the Father of the Workman's Compensation Act and is easily the most popular individual in Connecticut. An excellent ap- pointment which is bound to react in the governors favor. MT. Hickey too, has outstanding qualifications another excellent choice MT. Blackall has demonstrated his ability.
 The Governors selection of the To- cal judge for the court of Common Please was one that speaks well for the Governors judgment. For in Attorney John F. McDonough, of Naugatuck, the Governor found a man who is one of our most learned lawyers, and one of our finest fellow men. Nowhere could Governor Bald- win have selected better, a more qualified judge for the court of Common Pleas, than in John Mo- Donough.
 So all in all the members of the state legislature and the Governor can feel proud of their legislative achievements. There were times when the session became "Boeeed Down" but each time 1t straight ened itself out. The laws which have been enacted were proved to be good laws.
 Were 1t not for the meddling of liquor lobbyists" many more liquor laws would have been enacted. Early in the session the Governor expressed himself in favor of more liberal laws concern ing the dispensing of alcoholic bev- erages. Had there been no self-ap- pointed Liquor Lobbyist" in this ses- sion the restaurant, clubs and hotels would have had a much more work. able law enacted. The liquor deal- CTS can blame none but themselves for the law which was passed con- corning liquor sales.
