 Congressman Sperry is resorting to his old tricks, sending out pamphlets from Washington showing the last session was the busiest and most busi- ness-like one in the history of the coun- try. MT Sperry is trying to make himself heard here, but when his voice was wanted, when the bill for an app propriation for a postoffice building was up for debate, MT Sperry was evil dently taking a snooze somewhere. By this pamphlet he is sending out he is trying to create the impression that he was a very active member of this alleged busy session of the congress. There is an impression gaining ground rapidly that MT Sperry has reached the end of his tether. Beyond taking a part favorable to the postal employees Mir Sperry has not made d creditable record for himself. Some year he told yarns in the city hall about the low price of nails and iron commo- dities in general; wonder what he will. tell about this year; the great benefits of high prices undoubtedIye F
 Local democrats are pleased with the report that the republicans are speak ing of nominating F. F. Schaffer,i warden of Naugatuck, for sena- tor. A better man could hardly be chosen from a demo- cratic view. Year after year Mir Schaffer has been nominated warden of Naugatuck for the past two or three years. He is very popular in his own town because he is the superintendent of the rubber trusts factories there. That is the reason of his reelection every year. To any office of power outside of Naugatuck his popularity would not take him. No one knows better than his own fellow citizens that it would be useless to nominate him and worse still to elect him, for his business would not allow him to attend to his legislative work, no more than it does in his present office of war den. It is very doubtful, indeed, if Mir Schaffer would accept a nomina tion. Anyhow, the democrats of this senatorial district could hardly object to his nomination for he would be cas- fer to beat than many others that could be named.
