AOlNlNEN 1NO1 d ALL JOOAN-
NAL, a Republican organ, to put
it mildly, thinks a lot of Gov. Rob-
ert A. Hurley, but says that Bridge
Aport, New Haven, Hartford, and
Waterbury will have to produce if
he is to be reelected. The article
Rby Alexander Henry, is fine piece
|bf writing. Here is what he says of
the Governor:
BOB HURLEY is generally ac-
Acepted by anybody aVho knoaOs him as
ta0o-fsted, reasonable gentleman.
He qCds catdpnlted into the 1gar stu
1tion in Connecticut, knoaOt IN all
zUdrs as the arsenal of the country and
is most certainly Eisitg UP to that
sobyiqnet at the moment. He's done a
good job, according to the people a0ho
ought to kno1U. Perhaps California
5night be excepted but aV1th that ex-
eeption, it is genarIly conceded in
SA0rioms places in Washington and
throughout the country that Cou,ecti-
tmt is for ahead of any other state in
The matter of preparedness, prodnc-
tion, and dleYtneSs to the fact that
something might happen to us here IN
Americ0, and that aOe should be pre-
baYed to take care of oil emergencies.
CERTAINLY THAT REPUTA-
ZION, established as it is, rests
primarily on the governors desk.
Hills employer-labor pact to end
Astrikes was a masterpiece from a
political and from campaign
lngle. The astounding feats of pro-
Iuction in Connecticut are some
hing that he can talk about, ex-
ept that the manufacturers, for
Bsome strange reason which makes
no sense i'm my mind, refuse to let
khe people know about it.
THE STATES FINANCES are in
litter shape than ever before. Credit
to the zOar conditions-okeh! But

from the Republicans, aOedbon
B EUl,ich, in past years, they used sOlth
esomdi,g effect. So from a personal
tandboint, Hurley occupies the diaS
With good reason-he earns the spot
tght position as an individual.
A VICIOUS LETTER to the New
faven JournaI-COurier, signed by
me s'M. Gordon Callegan," of
1amden Eve can't find him in the
eity directory or phone book, re-
beats every lie PECLER ever told
bout organized labor. But the
Gentleman gives himself away when
70 says, ''the administration will
lave to take the initiative and trim
Town the power of the unions"
he doesn't like the New Deal, SO
bviously he hates the ''pOwer" of
he workingman. If the Callegans
ad their way, we would do away
With democracy while fighting this
ar to save democracy. It's stupid
litter, and we won't waste any fur
her space on it.

IRIS, No. 81, was SO impressed by
