Issue Statements
Dr.. Cross Thanks Democrats For Support - Hurley
b. 1, 4a Urges Campaign OF Education

during four terms as governor. Com
missioner Hurley, in letter to the
convention delegates, promises a
campaign of education on important
issues.
Former Gov. Cross statement fol-
lows:
1T am deeply moved by the
widespread support of my candi-
dacy for the Democratic nomina-
ton for the Office of governor Of
Connecticut. I am gratit1ed eS-
pecially that this support has been
given freely and spontaneou sly by
hundreds of individual delegates
to the Democratic convention.
"They and stand for a truly
liberal and representative party
dedicated to the principles of good
government in this state. These
are the principles for which I
have been fighting for the past
decade.
st am confident that I shall, be
indicated. For this reason and
for this purpose my name shall
60 before the state Democratic
convention on Saturday"
The text of Mr.. Hurley's letter
follows:
"At the request of a substantial
number of leaders and workers OF
the Democratic party, have ex-
pressed a willingness to become
the party's nominee for governor
in the event that a majority OF
the delegates to the approaching
state convention wish me to &C
cept the assignment. The invita-
ton, on the part of many dele
gates. to become the party's
standard bearer has been most
heartening and extremely cordial.
It is difficult for any man to ex-
press his appreciation and graft
tude for the continued and en-
thusiastic support of his friends.
cit occurs to me that the DEM
ocratic Party, to be successful in
Connecticut, must wage most &C
tive and informative campaign. l
feel that many national and In
ternational issues may be distort-
ed by our adversaries and that a
process of education is essential
to acquaint the citizens of Con-
necticut with the very real and
very basic achievements and &C
complishments of the adminiStra-
tons of President Roosevelt.
IF I am selected as the nom
inee for governor, shall devote
myself, without reserve, to this
campaign of education. 1t is diff
ficult for me to believe that the
citizens of Connecticut will reject
President Roosevelt if they are
fully aware of the industry, in
telligence and imagination which
he has displayed on their behalf.
"The Democratic state conven-
ton will convene in New Haven
on the evening of Friday, August
%. I am hopeful that you will
arrange to call at my headquar-
tiers at the Hotel Taft. If you feel
that you can conscientiously ex-
tend me support and assistance
during the convention period, then
I shall be deeply grateful"

South Britain Briefs

electors rolled up their sleeves
awhile ago and adopted some
town regulations that clashed
with common sense. Trumbull
went off the deep end and de-
clared for a local merit system,
just as the State of Connecticut
did. Months rolled by and the
townsmen heard ugly rumors
about the coming merit exams for
police officers. Trumbull had a
good squad of cops, in fact, some
of those Trumbun officers were
almost as handy as our Lone
Ranger, but the Frantic Fannies
wanted properly certified officers.
Trumbull had to have protection
that was able to pass a quiz, or
that was the way the law was
read.
Weeks went by and the officers
boned up. Arrests Stacked off as
the Trumbull coppers chewed
lead pencils and tried to figure
out the area of a circle, the cap
acity of a corncrib, or some other
fool thing that had about as much
to do with the enforcement of the
law as a knowledge Of steam tur-
bines was to do with being a
postmaster.
Physical surveys proved that
the Chief of Trumbull Police was
a little hard of hearing, probably
because he soldiered for a spell
and gave up his career to make
the world safer to live in. The
Chief was slated for retirement,
along with the officers who knew
the score.
But Trumbull voters insisted ON
threshing the matter out in a
town meeting, putting the prOpo-
sitiOn squareIy up to the taxpay-
ers. About 300 folks got inside
the Town Hall and as many more
stood outside. The Merit System
crowd spoke their pieces and the
folks with common sense spoke
theirs, too. Some of those people
with common sense sort of upset
the apple cart by thinking
straight and calling a deuce a
two-spot.
One man said: when I call
Ray Beckwith as have
three times and when he ans
wers within seven minutes and
does his duty, it is damn sight
more important than knowing
whose picture is on a S. bill"
(The Merit exam sort of
chucked in that question about
the picture on the five-spOt just
to make it certain that the cam
didates had a general kn0wledge.)
One of the Modern Thinkers
got up and suggested that one of
the old members of the police
force be made chief, letting out
the lad that was a little hard of
hearing and not SO well-informed
about currency. Right there
Trumbull voters got glimpse of
real loyalty. The officer arose and
refused the appointment and fur
ther said that he would serve
under the old chief, or he'd quit
being policeman.
Trumbull voted down the merit
system as applied to law enforce
ment by a tally of better than 3
to l. Trumbull is to be congratu-
lated for her good sense. We pre-
dict that il the State MART Sys-
tenn is ever faced with the test of
an honest vote, it will also be
beaten.

MARYLAND faced the problem
of balancing its budget, ending gas
oline tax diversions and taking care
of it's social security program. The
Legislature of 1889 passed a state
income tax recommended by COM
mittee of nineteen citizens from all
walks of life and all parts of the
State, one of whom was Howard
Bruce.
Senator Radcliffe has attacked
Howard Bruce for his part in the
recommendation of this tax. This
means that Senator Radcliffe must
favor one Of the other alternative
forms of taxation.
E.-Does Senator Radcliffe favor
an increase in the State real es-
tate tax which would require you
to pay more than twice as much in
State taxes on your farm, your
farm buildings and your homes?
2.-Does Senator Radcliffe favor
a general sales tax which would
require you to pay a tax on every
article you buy, whether a neces-
sity or a luxury? Does Senator
Radcliffe realize what this means
to the businessmen in our counties
bordering on the District of Column
bia and other states? Does Sena-
tor Radcliffe realize what addi-
tional taxes on cigarettes, tobacco,

REC M VEGETABLES
BE EATEN TWICE A DAY

Vegetables twice a day is the
rule for summer and winter,
spring and fall. But Bessie E.
McClelland, extension nutrition
| specialist at Montana State COL
lege, points out that summer
vegetables are the most temp
ting of all. This is the season
when you can get them fresh
from your own garden or from
nearby farms at low cost.
With so many vegetables to
choose from, it's easy to plan
an entire meal around them,
Miss cClelland explains. For
a vegetable plate you might
choose fresh peas for their
bright green color. roasting ears
of white or yellow corn, or
plump red tomatoes to broil or
bake. Snap beans and lima
beans are also at their peak in
most localities, and the season
for yellow squash will soon be-
gin. New beets and carrots are
plentiful too.
Whichever vegetables you
choose, cook them quickly in
as little water as possible. And
serve them simply with butter
or some other well-flavored fat
and light seaSonings.
For salads there are crisp
green cucumberS, bright red ra-
dishes. slender green onions,
and a variety of greens. Tender
Young leaf lettuce, spinach, ro-
maine, endive, and escarole are
some salad green's you might
try.
In buying vegetables, Miss
McClelland suggests making a
personal selection in order to
get fresh, firm vegetables that
are free from bruises. Those of
uniform size and regular shape
have less waste and are easiest
to prepare.
Most vegetables are best when
eaten as soon as possible after
they reach the home kitchen.
Peas and corn. especially, lose
much Of their flavor after
standing only a short time. If
the vegetables are not to be
cooked at once, wash them care
fully and store them in a COW
cred dish in a cool place to
| keep crisp.
