Donovan Sticks
 To His Job Al
 National GaDitOI
oBy our stan correspondent.)


 Representative Donovan appeared on the floor of the House today promptly at the fall of the speakers gaveI att tired in a suit Of light clothes, woven in Connecticut cotton mill. to com bat the torrid weather.
 The member from Connecticut who has been a leader in the fight against sabsenteeism abandoned all hopes of there being a recess of the House this week as was expected a short time ago, when it was announced that the war tax measure would come Up in the House today.
 The reason that the Connecticut man had hoped for a recess was that there is a convention being held in his dis trict today to nominate his successor in Congress.
 Donovan could have packed up and slsedaddled for the day. but many of his constituents have interested him in the kind of war tax they want levied and he could not be in Connect- icut looking after his own interests and in Washington looking after his peoples interests at the same tinaes While the opponent Of absenteeism wanted to be in Connecticut today just as much as a boarding school kid wants to get home for Christnas. he stuck to his job.

 MT Hawkins said he would norn4 inate MT. Clark and expected five votss in his favor-four from Shelton and his own.
 This is merely a protest. he said, land we believe it will eventually lead to harmony.
 You can say for me that all the men who are going to vote for MT Clark, will support Jeremiah Donovan on election day. They are Democrats, first, last and all the time.n
