 He assaIled the attempts to appro- low creeks and rivers where there is no navigation and not likely to be.
 He prevented unanimous consent be- ing given to the creation of Federal judgships to pay political debts and fought the appropriation of money in large amounts for public buildings in small towns where the buildings would be all out of proportion with the sur roundings.
 A few months ago the report of the Treasury Department showed that Donovan was right in his attitude on the tariff on fur hats made in his district for the straight advaloren duty und fer the Underwood bill re- suited in less hats being brought in during the first nine months the bill was i'll existence than during the las. 1 three months the Republican ,tarfff was in existence,

 It is figured that in political con tests he polls on an average of one. of every three Republican votes in the communities where he is besT known.
 Congressman Donovan has been a consistent advocate of municipal own ership, leading and winning the fight for a municipal waterworks in his home city and later leading and win ming another fight for municipal cleo tric light and power plant, that is one of the most successfully managed plants in the United States. Throughout Fairfield county he is perhaps the most widely known eiti- gen., faniliarly known as Jerry ana preferring that title to all others I Although many unfortunate people

 They stayed away and drew their pay
 but not thing was done, Till Donovan spoiled their graft and
 it made them pretty hot
 So we're going to send him back be

 he is 9 good old soul
 But something better's coming for,

 He's served UT mighty well and we

 So we'll send him to the senate just

 { CONGRESSMAN DONOVAN
 Departing from his usual custom the congressman quoted some figures concerning the record of his oppon- ent E.. J. Hiu.
 They tell you. he, said, .sthat we want MT. HiI1 in Congress because of b that Brother Hill was in Congress he secured for his district in the way of appropriations for public buildings. lighthouses, etc., just $1,776, ,0OO Now the state of Washington is about the same in population and wealth as the State of Connecticut. In the past year the state of Connecticut paid in corporation taxes and Internal reye- nue to ths national government, $4- 16s.491 The state of Washington paid for the same kind of taxes $3.- 647, ,Q0O. ct one congressman from Washington whoEn-no one here, I will venture to say, has ever heard, got his state for rivers and harbors, $S,836,- 900 in appropriations. A cross roads all this money for his state in sin gle year and in the Is years he was in Congress Brother H11l gats for his district about one third that amount s
 Brother Hill asks as a reason for his return to Congress that you com pare his record with his opponent's and then he stops right there
 He doesn't try to explain to you why in l 8 years hs only got $1, ,O0O in government appropriations for pub lie improvements. valued and infIu- enttal public servant as he claims to have been, while a congressman from Washington without fame and with out influence was able to get S3.- 8 1000 for his state.
 His statements are misleading and deceivtng. AS a matter of fact for the 8 years Brother EIiu was in Con- gross he got less for his state than any other member of Congress got in the same period and yet they try to tel you that he is a big man down there For the IS years that MT. HiIl had been in Congress be didn't tell you
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-11-02

of a single act he advocated for your advantage. He didn't tell you that, he advocated the same advantages for you that other states received and yet he wishes to be returned to perform like services.
 MT Hill has been part owner in street railways, and water and electric power rights and he made the public pay more in his own state for service than they pay in other states. He didn't ever try to get six street car tickets for a quarter for the people of his town. Brother Hill tells you that the Southern brother wants to take all the money for the Southern states. He knows that statement is untrue. He knows the Southern con- gressTnan is but one-third of each committee and that without the Northern brother or the Western brother he cannot carry any measure. He triest to make you believe that the Southern brother will compel con- gress to appropriate money to buy the cotton crop but he knows uch a meas ure will never be passed. He tries to stir up sect1onalisrn but the Civil war ended 50 years ago and it is time it should be forgotten.
 sHe talks of Democratic extrava- gance. Why the last year MT. Hill was in Congress four little towns in wyoming received congr resstona1 ap-
 
 was present when the measures giv- ing these appropriations passed but there is no record of his obJecting.
 ''He didn't object to the footing of the New Haven road in Conneetiolt and he didn't object. to the footing that was going on in Washington
 The congressrnan digressed for a moment to present some figures com pairing the government receipts under the Republican rule and the receipts under the present Democratic rule. Continuing he said:
 'tHe talks of hard times and tells you that the Democrats are bringing ruin on the. country but he doesn't say anything about that great auto mobile factory in the west where the lowest wage paid is $5 per day.
 ssHe can't tell you ok anything he has done to increase the wages of workingnen in his own state. 'tJust another word and I am done. If on election day you think the pres 1 ident should be supported and good 1 work continued then vote the Dem | ocratio ticket. If you believe in his 1 policies and if you want peace and not 1 war, vote for the Democrats. If you l would keep your country from being drenched with blood and tears, if you 1 do not want to see young men with l empty sleeves and little ones without 1 parents, then cast your vote for the Dem ocratic ticket and the policies of 1 Woodrow Wilson"

 Your candidate for congress. Jere- niah Donovan is with us tonight. You who have followed his record in the legislature years ago and in the past two years that he has represented you at Washington know that his vote has always been cast in behalf of the people and against any special privi- Iege for anyone He is an old fash toned Democrat, tried and found true
 The Democratic party has just be- gun great work in the state and the nation and the life of the party and the future of the American peo- pie are at stake in this election.

We have just begun Q great work for the American people and unless you desire to thwart the de- 1 sires of the president and assault the progress of civilization you must re- turn Jeremiah Donovan. The Dem- ocrats have driven the lobby out of Washington. out of Hartford and Al bany and out of the capikoIs of every state in the Union where they have taken control. We desire to stop the building of great fortunes by means I of special legislation and the exploit ing Of the Anaer4can people for the evans aid is needed in this work His vote has always been for your interest and your vote should be for him now g When Congressman Donovan had walked on the stage during the speak l ing he was greeted with continued a.o- plause- The ovation was repeated as he arose to speak.

One of the most important duties resting upon the voters of this conn nauntty at the coming election will be the choice of a judge of probate. Men will necessarily differ in the matter of the selection of didates for leg isIative offices, on account of the op- posing principles represented by the several party nominees. and will also disagree as to the naming of executive officers, who are pledged to enforce certain defined party policies But there ought to be one consideration only governing the action of the thoughtful citizen in the filling of the office of judge of probate. The personal character and fitness of the candidate alone ought to control Po- litical- policies and principles ought to exercise no influence over the mind of the elector in determining ehe question of who shall serve the pub lie in the probate office.
 
 This is a Judicial office, in the ex- ercise of the functions of which. ev- cry member of the probate district is peculiarly interested. The incuraa- bent takes no part in the enactment of party policies or the execution of political doctrines. His sphere is alone to serve those whose property or personal interests are brought be- fore him for adjudication. It Is not alone the wealthy. whose estates are to pass through probate proceedings. that are concerned in the choice of a man to fill this office.
 Practically every member of the community is more or less interested in the performance of the duties of that office ana must at some time or another appear before the pro- bate tribunal for some purpose. Ey- tery estate left by a decedent. how ever small, must be probated and the title passed on through the channels of the probate court. If .. child loses the protection of the parent, its na- tura1 guardian. through death or other unfortunate reason, the duty de- wolves on the probate judge of se- lecting an honest and competent guardian If a person meets with mental affIiction and 1t becomes nec- essary to have conservator appoint ed to protect his estate. here again the integrity of the probate judge is called into action. If an incompetent is to be committed to an asylum or a neglected child to a public institution the judge of probate must perform the unhappy duty of so doing and he should be a man who would exercise sound discretion and impartial judg- ment-
