 ANNOUNCEMENT I
Setting Forth His Position With Respect to His Candi- dacy For U. S. Senator.

Attorney John s. Seymour of Nor walk, one Of the best known Demo crats of the state, nas announced his ment which appears below. MT. Sey- mour was patent commissioner under Grover Cleveland and what he has to say will be of interest to his party members. The statement follows:
 To the Democratic State Conven- ton of Conn necticut:
 Having had the honor of being mentioned for United States Senator from Connecticut, 1t is proper to in- dicate the lines along which my con ception of public duty would lead me.
 approve of the spirit and achieve ments of the Wilson administration, in repudiating war as an instrument of progress, within or without OUT country.--in Mexico, in Europe, and in sColorado; and believe that the whole world uphoIds the Presidents aspirations for peace and looks to him to speak the inspired word which may forever remove war from the earth by moral compu1sion.
 Tariff reforms by removing the du- ties from foods and from raw ma teriaIs, and from coal, thus enamel pating both the home and the factory, reducing the cost of living and the. cost of manufacturing, a special good for ConnecticI1t, is the great econo- mic triumph of Democracy. Taxa ton more equable, and an income tax; sound currency increasing and diminishing with the needs of bus fness; just banking and diffused cred- 1t; the regulation of interstate and foreign commerce and transportation. in a simple and effective way, the helping hand to the new Republic of China by purifying the six-poWer loan, disspating the lobby like an un- wholesome fog. steri1izing the trusts, these. are the high lights of states manship and aehievem ent, from which by common consent the Pres bitter in world war; and he who sits for Cohnecticut in the Senate may safeguard these things if his faith is sincere.
 Connecticut matters within the state are indirectly and sometimes directly within the purview of her senators; and restraints Of trade within the state; labor, it's conditions wages, organization, contracts with or rEanized capital and it's steady ern- ployment; technical schools with ob- ject lesson work, with all machines, tooiss processes and materials used in the fnduestrial arts, and competent instruction in the applied sciences. but not teaching trades; improved health, by the analysis Of drinking water, the Inspection of schools, the isolation of contagion, and by original research: improved agriculture and model farms, good roads on modern scientific lines, investigation of the migration of men out Of the state. and the export of money beyond its linn it's; are subjects touching welfare and cfviliza.ion at vital points. Fair representation in the General Assem- bly, is an ultimate goal from which attention should never be distracted the want of which puts false enpha- sis on policies and Institutions, and results in partisan favoritism.
 All these are party question in which the Dernocratic- party is funda- mentally right, reforms to be obtain ed, not by violence of act or speech nor by swagger, but by simple and yet far-reaching laws. some of them E seif-Worhng
 It is the judgment of some men that half the revised statutes Of Con- nectieut could be repealed without harm to any good, and with good to all Its citizens and that new laws ought never to be passed except for serious and pressing reasons, and for the permanent effect. I Finally, I believe in amnesty for the past, and In the growth and progress of business, big and little, with the minimum of regulation and without
 monopoly or restraint of trade, and l W1InOuI4 SHOCK or $ o1SlurDances an0 i with no needless interference These things tend to respect for law, safeguard the rights If property l and the rights of man and In them faFe constructive wisdom, Justice, ci- l vilization, the light Of the world l It would be an honor as it would be my humble endeavor earnestly to uphold these things in the United States Senate.
