 Candidacy of Mrs. Buel. Although the celebration is avowedly destitute of political significance, such a gathering cannot be entirely desti- tute of gossip concerning candidates for office in the state and national or ganizations. It is expected that the assembly will give a wholesale impet- us to the candidacy of Mrs. John Laidlaw Buel the state regent for president of the national assembly at the Continental Congress in 1915,
 Daughters in Patriotic Work.
 The national society was two years old when the Connecticut society was launched. The Connecticut society has grown steadily in number and tnfiu- ence, and it has justified it's being in many ways that are beneficial not only to the members themselves, but to society at large. The increase in the number of chapters and their de- velopment have strengthened the pa triotc purpose of the people and awakened a widening interest in civic betterment, which has been promoted directly or indirectly by the patriotic activities of the Daughters, Their re- clamation and preservation of old town records, old cemeteries and disinte- grating shrines of the revolution have brought about the bestowal of greater care and attention upon public and quasi-public possessions of recent and current creation,
 One of the most noteworthy accom- plishments of the Connecticut Daugh- ters has been their purchasing, remod cling and maintaining the home at Windsor of Oliver Ellsworth, franer of the federal constitution, one of the first two United States senators from Connecticut, chief justice of the su-
 
 appointment of President Washington, envoy extraordinary to France by ap- pointment of President John Adams, and a Princeton alumnus, with degrees from Yale and Dartmouth. The society has had published a guide for the immigrant in Italian, Pol ish, Yiddish and English, and already has distributed 25,000 copies. In the last 21 years the Connecticut Daugh- ters have raised and expended in bahe- ficent directions more than a quarter of million dollars.
