The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-10-28
By BETTY BLANCHARD

Mrs. Wilbert F. Snow, wife of Connecticut Lieutenant-governor now seeking the state governorship on the Democratic ticket, proved her. self as able a campaigner as her husband Saturday at the luncheon meeting given at The Elton by the New Haven County Federation Democratic Women'S Clubs.
 Like Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, that other. capable woman campaigner, . Mrs. Snow did not speak SO much of issues as the welfare of the people. Though women in politics were often disparaged for their &C., tivities "outside the home," the grey- haired wife of the lieutenant-gov- ernor and the mother of five boys, said:
 we women have great deal at stake. The reason we are in pon- tics is because we are interested in our homes. We know we have to get in politics to get things done. The State Democratic ticket has a pro- gram which is of interest to all women"
 Out2AAA4A4S tAAC PAc14 4OI 4OH-COCb housing and apartment building on developments granted by cities and states, Mrs. Snow said she felt that relief of the housing situation was the most vital issue on the program because so many marriages and families were being broken up by factors which would be nonresident If people had their own homes.
 Plays Non-Essential Building
 Young married people have many adjustments to make. They must have privacy, without the interfer- ence of others to discuss their prob- lens and settle them. And they could settle them, without taking the other road to separation, if given fair chance" She deplored the building of non-essential buildings, such as restaurants, bowling alleys, and other structures as is now per- missible under the state program when the materials could be utilized to provide people with homes.
 Lt.-Gov. Snow vigorously denied Gov. Baldwin's recent accusation that he was injecting education as political issue. He further pointed out that Gov. Baldwin had commit ted this offense himself when he ap- pointed to the educational and housing committee none other than Republicans. MT. Snow said he had urged the governor to appoint a few Democrats so that the committees, dealing with vital issues, would re- main non-partisan. There is even something about lumber in this state that has a Republican tinge," he charged.
 The low income of Connecticut teachers-in some instances, not more than $900 annually-and their need for substantial raise in pay as advocated by the Democrats, could never be considered political issues, MT. Snow said, since every voter could discern the matter to be an economic necessary.
 Points to Democratic Record
 Charging that the Republican are carrying on campaign of negation, the Acknowledgements pointed with pride to the i3-year-record of the Democrats which has lifted the nations population to a higher standard of living, and guaranteed greater security by the inaugura- tion of social security, old age pen sions, collective bargaining, and the SEC, which saved the nation from another Wall Street collapse & few weeks ago."
 He reminded the Federated Dem ocratic Women that the surest way to victory was a thorough canvass of the streets on election day, and asserted as Nov. 5 draws nearer he felt more confident of victory.
 Stephen K. Elliott, candidate for Acknowledgements and a former serviceman, declared that veterans rights should not be considered a political issue, as is being done by Republican campaigners, since pol- tics did not enter the picture when we were asked to go to war" He said that had the attorney-general considered the veterans bonus con- stitutional last May-as he decided last week-the veterans would today be injoying that income.
 Salaries Jutifiable
 Touching upon the issue for larger appropriations for the states edu- cational program, MT. Elliott quoted from two addresses made by James McConaughty, COP. candidate for governorship, in which the latter said in 1887 For hundreds of thou sands teachers, high schools are a waste of money" and in 1940 T will probobly be called an ingrate by my fellow teachers but I feel low salaries for teachers in some instances are justified. I think our state educational dollar could be more wisely spent" .
 Speaking on international rela- tions Thomas J. .Radzevich, candi- date for Congressman from the 5th District, asserted he was certain that the Democratic administration in Washington had done more to- ward international cooperation
