HILL SPEAKS OUT
Announces His Candidacy for Senate
 in Circular Letter.


 Congressman Hill has sent out a circular letter through the state an- nouncing formally and in dignified manner the fact that he is candi> date for the vacancy in the United States senate, which develops when MT Brandegee's term expires. The following is the text of the letter:
 Dear Sir-By their own voluntary act the editors of several republican newspapers in the state have pre- scented me to the people of Connec- ticut as candidate for the position of United States senator. The choice will be made by the general assem- zly in January next.
 After full consideration 1 have de- cided to be a candidate and ask your cooperation and support.
 Fourteen years ago I was named by the fourth district republican con- vention for congress and, facing a previous democratic majority Of more than 2,00O, was elected by 5000 majority.
 Since then have been renominat- ed seven times without opposition and at the last election received more than 13,000 majority.
 Three days after the first election I retired from business and have since then devoted myself exclusive ly to caring for and serving the in- terests of the district. I base my candidacy now upon by record for these years. It is an open book for all to read when choose to do so. The experience thus acquired ought to be of value to the whole state.
 I desire to make clean, honor able and dignified canvass for the senatorship and invite any inquiries you may wish to make concerning my views upon pending nationai questions.
 My republicanism is that of Roosevelt and Taft. 1 believe In the high ideas of the Roosevelt admin istration; have supported its ben- eficent policies. I earnestly advo- cated the nomination of Judge Taft, spoke on the stump for him in New York and Vermont as we'll as Con- necticut, and heartily rejoice in his election For me it will not only be plain duty but very great pleas- ure to do all in my power toward making his presidency memorable for its success in all ways and for the enduring benefits conferred by it on our beloved country.
 Very Truly Yours,
 E. J. HILL.

RIGHT ON THEIR JOBS
EIks From Down the Road Held
 Sway Here Last Night.

The special train which steamed into the station last night had on board jolly lot of fellows. They were the Elks from Bridgeport, Stanford, Norwalk, Derby and An sonia. coming here to pay their re- spects and few dollars to the Wa terbury Elks fair and festival. They were met at the station by big del egation of local Elks and escorted through the center to the hall. where they were greeted with cheers by the brothers. who had congregat- ed to await their coming. Wheeler & Wilson band, which had been brought along to keep things lively, played in the parade. At the Elks rooms little spread had been pre-. pared for the visiting Elks and thelr wives and daughters, who had ac- companied them. Afterwards all adjourned to the Buckingham hall, where general good time followed until 1t was time for the visitors to leave for their special train, when they were escorted to the depot ana given a rousing send-off. The vlsi- tors were completely carried away with the splendid music furnished by the Empire Women's orchestra and they one and all remarked that 1t was the best music they had ever heard.
 Tonight down from the country above us will come the Winsted, Torrington and Thomaston jolly Elks. All way stations will contrib ute few more. They also will be accompanied by their lady friends. It Is expected that two or three hun dred will be in attendance. All the local Elks are expected to be on hand at 7:30 this evening to give the boys from up the road a grand welcome. The American band has been engaged to furnish the music, there will be plenty of red fire and the parade will take the same course as last evening. Those are Elk nights for sure and the local Elk who neglects to be one of the well corners, is forgetting his duty to his lodge. There will be additional at- fractions at the fair. It is only two days more too before the fair comes to an end and If you have not yet got in on the ground floor as re- gards the automobile or the golden treasures, you should avail yourself of the opportunity, now thrown open tC you.

A Correct View.

Replying to a query of a st.
Louis newspaper for his opinion
of the New York dinner, at which
the intermarriage of whites and
blacks was advocated as solu-
ton of the race problem, and for
his views as to the plan itself,
Elk Governor Vardaman sent the
following telegram:
Your telegram received. The
intermarriage of blacks and
whites is a violation of natural
law, and abomination in the sight
oil God. 1t is advocated and
practiced only by freaks and
moral perverts. You can no
more solve the race problem by
that means than you can exter-
inmate the species of horse and
donkey by Interpreting and
produce the mule. The mulatto
is the human mule-a thing that
despises it's father and mother,
and inherits the views of both.
1t is a living, breathing monu.
ment of beastly lust and sexual
perversion. The idea running
| through the whole plan is re
Voting to every decent white
man and woman in America, anG
ought to be prohibited by law
Such unnatural creatures as
participated in the banquet ii

More About Audubon.
10 The EDITOR OF The TRUE
DEMOr,RAT.

ton to an error of location in the
article "Recollections of Audi,
bon, copied from the Morning
World and published in the TRUE
DEMOCRAT Of May Is. From the
following paragraphs taken from
The Life of John James Audu-
bon, edited by his widow" and
inserted in part in the Morning
Worlds article, it will be seen
that the first sojourn of the
naturalist in West Feliciana was
made at the home Oakley planta-
tom Of N rs. Perrie, grandmoth-
er Of Mr.. James 2, Bowman, and
not at Mrs. Percy's as the arti-
Gle states. This was in 1921 from
june to October. It was not I'M
til later, in 1S11-1S23, that he
went with his wife to the Percy
household. Following are the
extracts from the Life"
1T happened, however, that
Audubon was not to return to
his family as soon as he expected.
The voyage to Shipping Port was
cut short by the acceptance of a
situation in the family of Mrs.
Pcrrie, who owned a plantation
at Bayou Sara, in Louisiana.
The duties accepted by Audubon
were apparently simple enough.
He was to- teach Mr.. Ferries
daughter drawing during the
summer months, at sixty dollars
per month. His lesson would
absorb one half of the day, and
with a young friend, Mason, he
was to have the rest Of his time
free for hunting. Board and
lodging were provided for the
two friends, and Mrs. Ferries
aim appears to have been to pro
vide an opportunity for Audubon
to carry On his pursuits under
the guise of an employment which
would be c0ngenial and not in
terfere with his work" The
following are extracts from Au.
dubon's diary:
