R. J. JoDolN ANNOUNCES
 HIS CANDIDACY.
Will Seek the Nomination Again from
 the Democrats.

Raymond J. Jodoin has covered the second congressional district with an nouncements of his candidacy for con- gressman in November. The cover contains a large picture of the candi- date. In his announcement he says:
 l hereby announce my candidacy as representative for congress from the second congressional district of Con necticut, and earnestly desire that my nomination come to me as nearly unanimous as possible, and in order to succeed. it depends entirely on you and the men you elect as delegates to the congressional convention
 It is very important that you attend the caucus and get as many democrats as possible to go with you
 place my candidacy before the peo- pie and ask their support in the com I was most Loyalty supported, and for that expression of political censidera- ton 1 shall ever remain grateful. At the solicitation of thousands of demo- crats residing in the district, and other friends who supported me in my form CT campaign, I feel that the time has arrived for me to announce myself as a candidate.
 In asking for recognition as a can didate for congress from the second district, I base my request upon the following well-known facts;
 For more than half a century the third-now second-district has never been represented by a democrat. Two years ago I was prevailed upon to take the nomination, owing to the fact that 1t was considered a forlorn hope with no possibility of success.
 I believed it was a duty l owed my party to respond to their call and ac- cepted the nomination, went into the battle to win and came very near do- ing so. as you are well aware, my competitor having only a majority ol 7S votes, whereas formerly the repub- lican candidate received a majority ol from $500 to 5000 votes
 While it is a fact that the elective committee at Washington decided tht contest in favor of my republican op- ponent, I am not alone in my belle that it was practically a democratic victory.
 While am not egotistical enougi to believe that I am the only democra in the district who is deserving O the nomination, still it is my firm be lief that, with the experience l gain ed two years ago, can go forward, i nominated, and defeat any candidate the republicans can select to oppos' me.
 He renews his state legislative ex perience and promises if nominated t' l carry the campaign into the ranks o l the enemy in a manner that will se cure ultimate success, both for himsel | and the honorable gentleman who be comes his associate on the democrats ! ticket

RAISING OBJECTIONS TO
 HIGH TENSION LINE.
Farmers Between Here and New Lon don Oppose Connecticut Company's Plan.

Since a survey has been made by the Connecticut company for running high tension cable from the Thamesville power station to connect with the New London end of the Montville line, numerous land owners along the line of the proposed line are reported as raising objections to having the line run across their land. Rights of way are being sought where 1t is proposed to pass through property other than the public highway.
 In Waterford above Quaker Hill, where it is intended to depart from the present line of the trolley for short cut through farm land, the company wants the right of access to a strip of land 20 feet wide
 On one farm this proposition is be- ing opposed for several reasons. The owner of the land does not desire to expose his family. employees or live stock to the danger attending the breaking of cable of high voltage and has no disposition to give rightly to any part of his farm. Many other land owners take similar views. Con- demnation proceedings may be nec- essary to get the necessary rights of way
 The company's big power station at Scotland will eventually supply power, for the eastern Connecticut lines and the high tension cable between New London and Norwich will be a part of this system.

DROPPED INTO GORGE AT THE FALLS
Fred Vaurey Fell 40 Feet Onto Rocks Foot of the Dam Was Making Short Cut to Mill Yard-Only Slightly Hurt He is Pulled From Perlous Position With Ropes Where Uncas Made His Famous Leap.

What is considered a remarkable escape from serious injury occurred Monday afternoon, when Fred Vau- drey of Lafayette street, a Falls mill employe, fell into the gorge of the Norwich Falls. Mr. Vaudrey was try ing to enter the mill yard at the time and instead of going down to the foot of the hill on Yantic street and en- tering there by the gate. was making a short cut by walking across the ice breaker at the head of the canal and then around the side of the wheel house that overhangs the ledge. He was standing on a very small plank when he lost his balance and fell head long into the gorge landing on the rocks forty feet below.
 The water was not running over the dam, which was a fortunate thing, for if it had been MT Vaudrey would probably have been swept out beyond his depth by the swirl of rushing wa ter. When he struck he lay as if stunned for a minute. but soon regain ed his feet. He was unable to get

 In the main tent Sunday evening MT. Starkey conducted a service and spoke to the boys upon bank accounts. He mentioned the necessity ofthrift in money matters and likened our physical, mental and moral beings to bank accounts.

FOR BETTER ROADS.
Fifteen Cities and Towns Have Rep
 resentatives at New Haven Msetin~ -CiVil Engineer Pitcher from Here.

At the request of Mayor Murphy City Engineer George K. Pitcher rep resented the city at a session of city officials in New Haven Monday to start movement for better roads Mayor Dunn of Willimantic was also present, l5 cities and towns being represented.
 It was suggested that a permanent organization be formed by the dele gates present to further the matter of securing a good pavement in all parts of the state.
 This suggestion was adopted and it was voted to form a permanent or ganization. City Engineer Ford of New Haven, City Egnieer A. H. Terry of Bridgeport and City Engineer R. E. Mitchell of Willimantic were appoint ed a committee 10 report on officers. This committee reported at the after noon session and an organization was perfected under the name Public Off cials Road Improvement association. W. Scott Flames, director of public works in New Haven. was made presi dent. Any official connected with highway work is entitled to become a member
 City Engineer Ford of New Haven read paper at the meeting giving l statistics of team and auto traffic al different points in New Haven. He reduced his statistics to the percentage of auto traffic at each point.
 MT. Ford, city engineer elect, called attention to the fact that in all the Connecticut cities the traffic had in creased enormously in recent years and he gave the figures taken recently in the city of New Haven, explaining the system which had been undertaken there He said that today auto traf- | tic in some streets is 79 per cent greater than it was IS years ago. Ht suggested an agreement on some meth.
 cd of accounting and some system O i taking traffic statistics. He referred | to the New York and Massachusett!
 systems and the differences betweeI
 them and stated that if the Connecti
 cut cities could be induced to co l operate and each take statistics 0 traffic on Saturdays and later stud, | the traffic statistics for the wear ant | tear on the different kinds of pave

through the streets, carrying ice or some other commodity, for instance. In this case paving problems will be greatly increased.
 After the business meeting the dele gation took lunch at the Union league and later toured the city in automo- piles, inspecting the various kinds or pavements in use there. This took up a large part of the afternoon, as the visitors were shown over about 30 miles of streets.
 It Is proposed to hold three or four meetings a year in different cities of the state
 The topics for discussion Monday show the idea of the organization. They are:
 1-The aovisability of an inter- change of cost data on road construc- tion and maintenance, based on a uni form method of accounting, and cost per square yard for original construc- tion, maintenance and cleaning.
 1.-The taking of traffic statistics at uniform radial distances from the city hall or central portion of each city, commencing on the main arteries two or three miles out, and then at eacn half mile point on the same roadways working toward the center, the statis- ties to be taken and classified on stan dard sheets to be adopted after con sultation of the road officials.
 3-To consider whether it is desira- ble or necessary to increase the depth and strength of the foundation of all pavements to meet the ten-ton or larger auto trucks which are already here, and which will rapidly increase in number and possibly in weight dur ing the next few years.
 4-To consider whether it Is practi- cable or advisable to urge the adop- tion of a standard of wheel or body width for auto trucks in order that the width between curbs on curbeo streets can be properly determined and especially whether on the outlying streets the hardened roadways should not be increased in width in order that fast moving vehicles can meet and pass with greater safety, without en- croaching on the softer roadway shoulders, and if considered advisable to take action upon this matter, how the improvements can best be brougn about. Whether through consultation with automobile manufacturers or as sociations or by legislative action.
 5-Whether it is advisable to pro. hibit or regulate the use of chains or auto tires. Kimberly and Howard ave nues were put in first class condition last year at an expense of over $S,00O and the injury to these two street. during the wet fall and rainy sprin, seasons from chains on autos was yer 1 great A great many of these wer out of town cars passing between Nev York and Boston.

back to the top of the cliff without assistance. A neighbor who saw MT. Vaudrey fall, quickly summoned help. William Booth, an employe of the mill climbed down to where MT. Vaudrey was and fastened a rope around his rope. With this several yardmen pulled him up to the top of the ledge. Mir. Vaudrey was not seriously hurt, receiving only a cut over one of his eyes and a general shaking up. He was able to walk to his home on La fayette street.
 Where Mir. Vaudrey had his fall is the spot made historical by the leap of Uncas. the Mohegan chieftain, in his pursuit of Miantonomoh. his de- feated enemy, in one of the Indian battles in the early history of Nor wich The bottom of the deep and wide chasm below the dam and under the falls is filled with immense bould- CTS, with many sharp and projecting points which rendered his fall more hazardous and make his fortunate es- cape from serious injury all the more remarkable.
