Praises National Admins tration and Asks His Re- publican Opponent Perti- nenE Questions on New Haven Road.
Especial. to the Farmer.9

Washington, Oct. s--In. his letter to the committee of notification, Repre- sentative Donovan in accepting the renomination for Congress refuses to accept all of the credit for putting, a stop to absenteeism, and statss that the good people of his district who wrote him letters of encouragement should have their share of winning the long fight.
 He states that a congressman is the business representative of the people and asks if the people in conducting send Ia drummer on the road who would antagonize the trade.
 Speaking of. President Wilson he states that the~ President richly de- serves the vote Of confidence and grat- itude which citizens cannot withhold without ldeprecfating the value of true public service.
 That the present representation of Connecticut in Congress has been em- cfent he states is proven as she ranks second in the percentage of her in terests that are protected by the Hyn- ierwood tariff, having S3 per cent. of her goods on the dutib1e list; and that there is no industry in Fairfield county that needs protection that did not get it.
 That the new tarin rally protects be- cause 1t provides a straight advalorem CaT1h ana leaves no room TOT sequ1FOC9- tion; as& in the case of fur felt hats where there were less hats imported in the first nine months of the Under wood tarfff than there was in the last three months Of the Payne-AIdrtch tar 1fr which was tarifr Of different grades
 k. That the present war has sl1ied tha tariff into the scrap heap and that Ethe gains in commercial activity and exports within the past few weeks indicate that this nation is on the verge of a wonderful season of bust ness advancement and prosperity.
 Paying his respects to his opponen1 E. J. Hill, the congressman asks MT. Hill some pertinent questions concern ing his q1ietude while the New Haven road was being footed; and why he op- posed the Sherwood bill to increase the pensions of old soldiers
 The Congressman in his letter quotes Senator Cummins. Col George Harvey, s+rrumbull,'' Of the New York Herald, .tThe Waterbury American and his questioning of MT. Hill throws some side lights upon the inside of Norwalk and Fairfield county politics that will probably be very interesting when they are published in full.

MARCONI SUIT
 IS RULED OUT

New York, Oct s-The federal dis trict court ruled today that it had no Jurisdiction in the suit broug ht against the Secretary of the Navy Daniels and four naval censors by the sMarconi Wireless Telegraph Company of America. to prevent the government from keeping closed the wireless sta ttons at Siasconset, Mass, and Sea- gate, N. Y. The company's applica- 'tion for an injunction was dismissed.
 Although the application for the temporary injunction was dismissed, the suit itself will remain on the cal end2r. It is regarded as likely, how ever, that it will be. brought tostria1 in view of Judge Veeder's ruling to- day.
 The court was without Jurisdiction. Judge Veeder held, inasnuch as none of the defendants or the plaintiff re- side within this district.
 While no announcement was made by attorneys for the Marconi com pany immediately upon learning of the decision, it was assumed that an- other suit would be brought soon in a federal district in which one or more of the defendants have legal resi- dence.
