DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE
Tires of Waiting for Reply and Asks
Some Questions-Wilt Consult the
Spirits for an Answer


who in a letter to the democratic state
central committee on July announced
his candidacy for the United States
senate, on Monday made public anoth
err letter to that committee under date
of July 49, The letter reads:
ITO the State Central Committee of
the Democratic Party in Connec-
ticut.
Having received no word from you.
or any of you, IS it fair to conclude
that my open letter of July the Fourth
has escaped your notice, or is the
United States senatorsiiip and mat
ter of choosing a senator by demo-
cratic method so trifiing as TO deserve
no attention.
"The editors Of the state have taken
notice that the coming senatorial cir
cus is to be a three ring show, but
then they are expected TO read the pa
pers.
you see it is this way: The news
papers inform us that there is to be
no governors day at the Mantle mill
tary camp this year, but they add,
gayIy, that there are to be more poll
ticiaus on deck than ever before.
Il just wanted your committee ana
all whom IT may concern to know that
the writer will visit the camp on poll
ticians' day to view ONCE more at short
range the great oues of the state,
compare their soldering with their
awaiting, and incidentally TO learn, II
possible under what provisions OF the
constitution or laws Morgan IL. BulSe-
ley owns and controls the United
States senatorship.
"Ebenezer" and Gentleman George
"Of course he owns both Of the Con-
necticut seats in the senate. for did
he not deliver the goods to BraDdegee
after Ebenzer bad the seat all bought
and paid for? Now. Gentleman George
says that Buckley promised to seat
him in the 'milIionaires' club at the
ire of
and Buckley retorts it's not the mil
liOpaires' club, but the Ananias club
for George But suppose Gentleman
George tells the truth about that CLUB
talk we come right back to the main
question, by what constitutional or
statutory provision has Bulkeley be-
come seized and possessed Of the Con-
necticut seats in the United States SEN
ate. either for his own use or to be
eIiNei ell to his unde 's.Ldi IS, as It
may please him
1T is this thing that is bothering
me. | was brought up to believe that
we live in republic. under demo
cratic form Of government and that
the people have the right to say
something about the selection of those
who sit in the seats of the mighty, and
l am going to probe about for lnfor-
nation on this subject until learn Tor
sure whether senatorships in Cohnee-
ticut Gas in IIIinois) go to the higheS~
bidder or whether these plain people
whom Lincoln loved and who loved
Lincoln. are still to be rec<oned with.
"As / contemplate my little outing
on politicians day ! am reminded that
Mantle is the Mecca not of soldiers
and politicians alone Just back from
the military camp in the pines, the
spiritualists Of the state are also en-
caInped. Here shades of the departed
lift the veir to give us comfort, in
struction and wisdom.
May Try the Spirits.
And should the writer fail in the
military camp to learn from what
source Bulkeley gained his apparent
right and title in ard to the afore-
said seats in the United States senate.

writer, will take himself to the camp
in the pines, there, if possible, to call
from the land of shades some Of the
sEookeriuos like the late lamente1
representative of the express COM
panies in the senate. one time easy
boss of New York and expert in SEN
atorial elections. AMI learn therefrom
how and when and where and by virtue
of what law, temporal or spiritual, was

their own representatives.
'The writer notices that some of the
editors charge him with lack of dig
nifty in his search for democracy, the
causes OF its decay in Connecticut and
the straight road to the senate. Short
of dignity. but long of democracy. is
the writer to be sure. However when
hereafter he attempts to describe his
visit to the spirit camp he viii sum-
mon all of his dignity, for, even now,
levity sneaks away as, in magma
tion, he hears the sough of the pines
feels soft breezes from spirit wings,
and chills playing tag along his spine.
BY the way, has anybody here seen
