Franklin County A Deerfield Valley COUffi DEMOCRATS OPEN CAMPAIGN Dinner Meeting is Held at Greenfield 200 ATTEND State Treasurer Charles Hurley Delivers Scathing Attack Bankers. The Franklin County Democratic league got an early start on the 1936 campaign at a dinner attended by 200 at the Weldon hotel in Greenfield last evening. Several state officials, making their first appearance in this section since their election Including State Treasurer Charles F. Hurley, Attorney General Paul A. Dever and State Auditor Thomas.

H. Buckley, sounded a 1936 campaign slogan of "gpvemment for all people" to an enthusiastic audience representative of the en- tlre county. Others who spoke Included Joseph McGrath, chairman of the state committee, J. B. Kennedy of Greenfield, State Commlttceman Richard L.

Watson of Mount Hermon, outstanding Democrat in a Republican county for many years, Mrs. Margaret Rlordan and Mrs. GoWn Walters of Boston, also members of the slate 'committee, and Fred W. Smith of Adams. They were Introduced by M.

Leo Coyne of Greenfield, president of the Franklin County league. "Forgetting the really unimportant purely political Issues," Attorney General Devcr declared, "We can be proud of what the administration of this state has so far accomplished. I recall the days when Massachusetts seemed a bottomless reservoir of plenty and labor was a device used to make the rich richer. It was this very blight of plenty from which we were to suffer. Constitution or no constitution, budget or no budget, the flrst duty of America and this state Is to see that no man, woman or child goes hungry.

Those who planned the. constitution did not intend to thwart progress, they intended merely" to guide'H. "The grass roots convention, without a-candidate or a platform, is merely prophetic of next year's campaign. The Republicans have neither men nor measures. We have both men and measures, and with the right support we will go forward, we will win." After paying tribute to Chairman McGrath as an able leader and organizer, State Treasurer Hurley delivered a scathing attack on bankers In general and three in particular, who, he mentioning Boston, and Fall Klver, have a strangle hold on credit in this stale.

"It is time," he asserted, "for the Democratic party to stand up and protest a continuation of banking policies which have ruined the country and lo. demand that credit shall be people properly expanded." Urging legislation compel. the -governor of the federal reserve bank in this stale lo serve the interests of all the people by forcing such an expansion of credit, Hurley concluded by declaring- that "with a 'man of the right character In that important office I dare to say that unemployment and commercial stagnation in this stale would be fairly over." "We have no-quarrel with grass root states," State Auditor Buckley said, "except to differ with those who predicted grass, would grow in city streets in event-, of Democratic victory. No one can say now that if the' President's idealtslic program were lo 'receive Ihe support it de- I serves from both parties, it woujd not bring aboiit recovery." State Chairman McGrath challenged Republicans to "bring on the bcst-ydu have because you're going lo need Ihem. Shame on those Repub- llcarts who dare to turn and bite the hand that feeds them," he declared, concluding.by saying it is only the die-hards who stand beside the road to deride the procession as 11 passes.

Severn! speakers, Including J. B. Kennedy, paid tribute to the Dem- organization at Charle- s'mont, where a Democratic town 'committee did not function and a Democrat hardly existed 1934. Entertainment was furnished by an'Indian family from Charlemont, who presented tribal dances probaj- blj'j never before seen in New TURNERS FALLS A. C.
