FAIRFIELD

A grandmotherly woman from Shel- ton was canvassing the town yester- day inducing people to buy sheet o1 music for 25 cents, for the purpose o1 building a ''home for distressed hu- manity' at Monroe. And what is still more wonderful, several people actually invested. The poetry. which was to be sung 'tvery slow, was not as touching as it might have been: "As I was riding in the trolley one
 day,
 Viewing the sights along the way, And seeing poor little children at play And lovely old ladies trying to be gay, My heart sank deep into my shoes, And I inwardly wanted to bring them
 good news
 And do what could to cure the blues, And pull out distress from under the
 screws

LOOKS LIKE BALDWIN
 IN THIRD DISTRICT
Outlook Also Good For JOdoin
 in That C. o. P. Stronghold

Norwich, Nov. 3.-Everything over this way looks Baldwin. and there is also a strong drift towards Jodoin for Congress, instead of Higgins. The bet ter class of Republicans have never been satisfied with Higgins, and have little confidence in him. Jodoin. the Democratic candidate, has been in the Legislature and made a good record in the public interest, and is a gen. uine man of the people. He has a wide acquaintance and is popular ev- anywhere, especially among business men. Besides this, there are three special forces at work in his favor the French Canadians, who are usually Republicans, travelling salesmen. who all like Raymond Jodoin, and believe in him, and the trolley motormen, for whom Jodoin secured helpful Iegisla- tion in the last General Assembly. The old third district has been for many years the Gibraltar of Connecti- cut Republicanism, but the rock shows many seams and Assures today from the political earthquake which seems to be going on. Stranger things have happened than the return of a Demo- cratic Congressman from the third district, something which has not hap pened since the election of Sidney Dean in 1855
