Young Republicans’ Chairman
Assails Fault-Finding by
New Yorker.
Br the Associated Press.
HARTFORD, Conn., December 8.—
J. Kenneth Bradley of Westport, na
tional chairman of the Young Re
publicans, criticized last night what
he said was a fault-finding attitude
toward the Republican .party on the
part of United States Representative
Hamilton Fish of New York.
"At a recent dinner in New York
City Representative Fish took occa
sion to criticize National Chairman
John Hamilton as an impossible re
organization leader," Bradley said in
a statement prepared for delivery at
a meeting of the Conneticut Young
Republicans’ Legislative Committee.
"Mr. Fish,” Bradley asserted, “is
only continuing his pre-campaign at
titude of criticizing the Republican
party and the Republican leaden.
“A sound plan of action, honestly
championed, would accomplish many
of the things about which he talks.
Attacks upon members of our own
organization accomplish none of them.
There are too many Republicans like
Mr. Pish who talk about the faults
of the Republican party but never do
anything about them.”
