RANDANAs IN SERMON.
Mt. Calvary Pastor Draws Parallel
 with Scripture Story.

At the Mount Calvary Baptist church on Sunday in connection with the ob- servance of Prison Sunday, Rev. J. H. Dennis preached from the text, 50 from his body were brought to the sick, handkerchiefs, and the disease departed and the evil spirit went out of them" He said in part:
 Not only was there great suffering and death but the situation was ap- palling. So, to appease the condition the bandanas were used. Thus they must be associated with suffering and alleviation. The bandanas were sig nif1cant in the dark days of the Ethiop- fans in America. They were worn and used on the cotton. tobacco and other plantations as precious gems. These bandanas were not only indicative of sin, but bodily suffering. privation and torture. The cry for freedom was heard and the condition changed. What prophet would have predicted that bandanas would become a national signal. The banadanas are significant today as used by the third party be- cause of sin, suffering and the need of the people. the hungering children, the deprived fathers and the overburdened mothers

JOHN EccLEs SETS
 FORTH HIS POSITION.
Believes and Will Work for the Work
 ingman, of Which Class he Has AL
 ways Been a Member-BeIieves Compensation Act Will Pass-com- mitted to Best Interests of All People

In an interview granted to The Bull letin by John Eccles, republican can didate for representative from Nor wich, he had much to say which will interest the entire body of citizens and the laboring men in particular. Mr. Eccles was honored by Governor Bald win by being named as member of the workingmen's compensation com mission and with the two democratic members, Burton Mansfield and Tal- colt H. Russell, two of the ablest men in the state on insurance, held hear- ings about the state.
 WheE asked concerning that pro posed legislation. MT. Eccles said: "A workingman's compensation act is be- ing drafted. it being measure in which 1 am greatly interested an1 heartily in favor. The draft is being perfected as fast as possible and ought to be in shape to be given the public in week or so. It is being pushed along as fast as possible" In commit ting himself to such legislation, MT. Eccles declared that it cannot be too strongly favored. It is matter which I have urged and which ought to have attention" MT. Eccles was unwilling to give any of the features of the pro- posed act in advance. but felt that in asmuch as the good and bad features of such acts elsewhere had been studied that the draft for this state would be a worthy one.
 When asked concerning other legis- lation in behalf of the workingman, Mr. Eccles said: T have been in favor of it. Despite rumors to the contrary, never was against the 5S hour law which is now in effect. I have been a laborer all my life and my sympathies are with the laboring man. It is un- just that because I was successful as a workingman that anyone should at- tempt to throw out spiteful sayings. I know what the lot of a workingman is. I worked from the time I was a small child until a little over a year ago. There have always been advan- tages for the young men, but there are greater advantages today for them than ever before by making themselves indispensable to the parties they labor for.
 MT. Eccles declares that he does not and never did believe in drawing the line between classes or favoring one
 class to the detriment or exclusion of another. He firmly believes that the compensation measure will become 3 law. Whether I am elected or not, declared MT. Eccles, T am and shall alWayS De the sincere Trend or the workingman. If elected I Shall give my constituents the best of my efforts
 working for the progress and health of those who labor, and not forgetting | that all measures which affect the Cit | izens of Norwich will be urged witl | the same vim and will that I gave ir l serving the Ponemah mill. I shal work with honesty and sincerity o1 | purpose, devoting my zeal and energy | to the best interests of all people,"
