 Sir: Election day-the fourth dis trict round up, why not faP in line for MT. Donovan? When good goods for them? Let us move strong choose representative timber that will stand by us! Why should we vote for MT. Donovan? Let us think-go back 30 years and follow MT. Donovan m all his public moves from the old Norwalk Town meetings, the twin city business and all through both houses at Hartford, as M. C., round him up in every direction. Here is a. man, square as a brick on deck a1- ways. ready to move for the best interest of town, city, district, state and nation What more could we want2 Don't get on the fence, but give our M. c. a real old Democratic send off.
 One of the many times where we find MT. Donovan on deck, we e;ilote from the record of the House of Rep resentattves of July 24. MT. Dono- van put a stop to an appropriation for mail chutes for the Federal building at Cleveland. It was a matter Of unanimous consent.
 The gentleman from Connecticut objected and the bill was stricken from the calendar Our gentleman was on hand otherwise hundreds of cash would have gone into a western grab bag.
 would like to ask the old veterans to remember the Sherwood Reunion Bill which was passed by Demo- cratic House with a majority Of 137 but was mutiIated in the Senate while Republican members stood silent The original bill would have passed both houses if members of the old party had stood by their guns.
 would like to ask the boys, every one, to march for the fourth district M. C., and don't forget that there are a lot of old soldiers and others across the southern line. who have helped us a lot and will continue to help make our lives more comfortable through the House at Washington.
