 The text of MT. Ryan's speech fol- lows, in part:
 Good evening Fellow Americans:
 For the first time in years YOU have the politicians on the defense. YOU have them worried. Gone is their air of importance. Worry has taken the place of their air of indif- ference. They realize, at long last, that the PEOPLE are beginning to think for themselves. They realize now that they are running around in the dark, that they will be bring ing voters to the polls on next Tues day only to have those same voters pull the third lever, or mark the third circle on their ballots.
 What will happen next Tuesday is exactly the same thing that hap pened when Jasper McLevy ran for governor and carried the city of Waterbury.
 The politicians will be compelled to resort to smears and under handed attacks soon. But even then they dare not come out in the open and debate with me, they dare not come out in the open, in frank and honest manner and tell YOU where they stand on questions which are of great importance to you.
 They say that the odds are against you ill this election, but don't you believe it.
 Odds mean nothing to people when there is a principle involved. Odds mean nothing to red blooded American citizens. What matter if the politicians tell you we do not have chance. You just listen but don't believe it. That is the same line of propaganda they hand out during every election.
 This election is primarily one be- tween our citziens and our politi- clans. The politicians on the one side are trying to deceive our people with high sounding words of praise for their so-called political candi- dates, but you recognize them as falcn tyN nj e.tIn tc sJ irfy " politics, cunning, underhanded deals, double crosses and sell outs, broken promises, forgotten pledges.
 On YOUR side is honesty, cOur- age, clean government, clean cut is- sues, clean cut principles. That is the primary issue in this election. It is an issue which we shall accept, which we do accept.
 Both parties are sick, they are sick because they have lost the touch of the common people. And when a person is z. ', you always give the persons some medicine. Well, that's what you are going to do in this election. Your going to give the politicians the medicine they honest ly need by repudiating the kind of deals they are trying to put over on you in this election.
 These cunning, self seeking poli- ticians have all kinds of money with which to campaign. The Republi- can candidate refused to accept the nomination, you will recall, unless hc was guaranteed the nice little sum of $25 ,000 10 spend on his cam paign. Where did this money come from? Why is this job of congress man so important that certain in tercstS are willing to spend $25 ,000 to win the election? The position as congressman pays only $10000 but the politicians are paying $25,- GOO for it.
 The Democratic political puppet is also spending large amounts of money. The day after his nomina- ton was railroaded through a pack cd convention full page ads ap- peared ill all the newspapers in the district. Today on all sides you can find buttons for this candidate, pen cils for the other candidate, bill boards for one and newspaper ad- yertising space for the other. Let ters and other malls are being sent
