There is dismay in the camp of the enemy and this November the Demo- cratic standard will not be trailed in the dust.
 F .The candidate whom I would pre- sent to you is not a man who has arrived in the hour of triumph to re- ceive an unearned honor. He is of those who are active workers in the ranks when our chances were the poor est.

 No man in this city of one hundred thousand people is in my opinion bet ter acquainted with social, economic and political problems which are az itating the body polite at this time. For years student of political econ omy and sociology he has almost ex- questions of the day. He is a, pro found and logical thinker. He is a man of energy and possessed of a col ossa1 capacity flor intellectual labor. The whole bent of his intellect is and has been for years in the direction in which a man who represents this district in Congress should have wide infor- nation.

Hill had informed him that the Democrats had better endorse him as they did not have anyone to nom- mate who could be elected.
 In view of this condition he said that the Democrats had looked over the district and not knowing that Bridg geport had a candidate had se- lected Hon. Robert E. DeForest to again be their standard bearer. From a conversation he and others had opinion that the former congressman should again be the standard bearer of his party.
