CUMMINGS MAKES
KEYNOTE SPEECH

San Francisco, June 2S-Making the
peace treaty and the league of ma
tions the dominant issue Of the com
ing presidential campaign, Homer
Cummings, as temporary chairman OF
the Democratic national convention
today delivered the keynote speech
Cummings devoted half of his time to
a discussion of the treaty and its re
ception by the senate. Cummings
praised Democratic achievements OF
the past eight years and uttered ring
ing denunciation of the Republican
party.
Speaking of the league OF nations
plank in the Republican platform
Cummings said:
ut praises without discrimination
all the Republican senators who par
ticipated in it's defeat. 1t words OF
benediction fall alike upon the irrecon
cilables, the Lodge reservationists, the
mild reservationists and those who
proposed a separate peace with Ger
many. It is enough to know
that the old Guard sold the honor OF
America for the privilege of nominal
ing a reactionary for president"
After naming the nations that have
ratified the peace treaty, Cummings
said:
What nations stand outside? Revo
lutionary Mexico. Bolshevist Russia
unspeakable Turkey and-the United
States of America"
He accused the Republicans in the
senate OF conspiracy to defeat the
treaty because they were moved by
a strange and inexplicable jealousy OF
the president"
Speaking OF the sacrifices President
Wilson made for the treaty. he said :;
Congress was in session for month";
while the president lay in the White
House. struggling with terrifying Ill
ness and, at times, close to the point
of death.
"The president made every sacrifice
for the cause of peace" Cumming
declared while at home there was
widespread propaganda making II i'm
perative that he take up in his own
country a struggle for the preserva
tion of that which had been won
incalculable cost Following the su
perhuman labors of seven years of un'
exampled sacrifice. this meant tho
wreck of his health-and worse thar

OBITUARY
Francis FeIiowes Parker

Francis Fellowes Parker. son of Abishai Alden Parker and Caroline Fellowes Parker, passed away at his late home in Montville.. on Thursday morning, October 2S. MT. Parker, born on August 21, 1844, was the third of five children. only one of whom survives hin1-Caroiine Smith Parker
 His entire life was spent in Montville and on the homestead where both he and his mother were born As a young man he attended private school in Palmer town, taught by H. w Greene Follow ing this he went to Bacon Academy in Colchester. Later he studied music in Hartford under the direction of Prof. Barnett.
 Music was the grat joy of his life, a l passion iyhtch he inherited from his father. It is safe to say that the major i ity of those in the surrounding towns who have developed their musical talents l received their first instruction from him.
 But his love for and knowledge of the Bible was not outdone by his love for music As a child he attended the Mont vile Center Congregational Sunday I school where he sat under the able and even judged by present day standards, most remarkable instruction of his uncle Augustus Alden Parker. Augustus Parker had a high desk built for use in | his home-one that could be used only | when he was standing. He found the days work arduous and that 1t left him so fatigued that the only way he could keep awake, properly to prepare himself for Sunday, was to so while standing. It was to be expected that such severe selfdiscipline should make exacting demands on his pupils, adults as well as children.
 | Francis Parker continued throughout his entire lifez7even during the last months of his ifnss-the memorizing of passages of Scripture Only last Week he completed the 6eth Psalm. Years ago | he learned the entire book of Mark and as a child he could repeat the 18th Psalm entire.
 1 While a young man he united with the Montville Center Congregational church | Until August of this year he was their organist-starting as such in 1856 at the age twelve.
 T. MT. Parker never enjoyed robust health, yet he has worked all his life "early and late" His life is an example in showing what a person can do in spite Of physical handicaps. Since early Au- gust his condition has been increasingly critical, at which time he sustained a | most severe heart attack. During the intervening weeks he has failed to regain his accustomed health.
 He passed away peacefully into the | arms of his Master Whom he served and | loved his entire life through Blessed are those who die in the Lord.''

LITTLE INTEREST IN NON PARTISAN RALLY

favor of labor and she said: T trust you will help the man who is willing to help you"
 The speaker expressed herself as strongly in favor of Cox. He was for suffrage, she said. He believed that women are intelligent enough to vote. Harding didn't think so. Get after the women and ask them to vote for the men who are friends of labor and defeat the others, said Mrs. St. John in closing
 Frank Krause representative of the WiIlimantic Central Labor union. was the second speaker. Quite. few party vot- CTS don't consider the man but the ticket itself, said Mir. Krause.I The wisest thing to do is to vote the right ticket and believe the gentlemen here know what | ticket I am referring to. Consider the vote thoroughly so that you will know who is the friend of labor.
 In regard to the republican ticket. Mir l Krause said that one thing he does not l approve of is the way She republicans fay the president. President Wilson is still i, our president, and the nation should stand back of him. Why criticize the man? Isn't it our duty to stand back of 1 the president while he is in the chair? Chairman Donohue then spoke briefly 1 touching on the merits of the local can | didates for state senator. He smoke in 1 favor of Charles S. Avery, democratic candidate for state senator, who he stated
 has shown that he is in favor of labor measures He also touched upon the can
 dhlacy of Albert Boardman for state senator on the socialist ticket MT Dono.
 hue said: ''I don't know of any man who
 has done any more for labor than Arber+ Boardman."
 The final speaker of the meeting. J. J
 McCue, of the Butchers International un
 ion. was somewhat late in arriving as h.
 was delayed owing to an address whici
 he delivered at Taftville earlier in tn, evening.

VOTE EARLY IS ADVICE FOR MEN AND WOMEN

The election officials issued word of advice to voters Friday when they gave the general direction: Vote early.
 For the men they advised that all men who can should vote, if possible, before they go to work in the morning.
 For the women voters. the advice is to concentrate on the hours between and Il 90 as this will be time when there arg fewer men voting than at other times of the day The women voters are ad- vised, however. to avoid the time between i noon and o'clock unless they are | obliged to com to the polls between 1 those hours. As this period covers the noon hour for many men which in many cases is the only time they can vote the officials desire to avoid congestion at this 1 time a much possible. By spreading the voters out through aE the hours of | the day, the officials feel this will be one way to make everything run as smooth 1 ly as possible. They are doing all they can to increase the facilities for vot- ing, but there will necessarily be some waits in some parts of the day.
 Voting early will save the workers al the polls a whole lot, If the electors vii adopt this practice.

The wisest thing to do is to vote the right ticket, said Frank Krouse, repre- sentative of the Willimantic Central La bor union, at the non-partisan rally held in Carpenters hall Friday evening under the auspices of the Central Labor union.
 MT. Krouse was one of three speakers at the rally. which had an attendance of less than 50, and was late in beginning because of the non-arrival of the speakers on time. Two women who were there at the time for the meeting to begin got tired of waiting and left.
 As political rallies go. it was the quietest that has been held in the cam paign, and up to the time the last speaker very little applause had greeted any of the speeches.
 The meeting was presided over by Will liam Donohue as chairman. l. NJ Orn- born, secretary of the Connecticut Fed eration of Labor, who was to have been the principal speaker at the rally, was unable to be present owing to pressing business engagement elsewhere.
 Mrs Mary St. John, formerly organ izer of the Telephone Operators union of Worcester, Mass, was the first speaker at the meeting. I am not here to tell you how to vote, said Mrs. St John. Study the men and study the records of the men in office before you vote. I have studied the records of both Senator Brandeget and Augustine Lonergan. I find the labor record of Senator Brandegee is a bad one Mrs. St John went on to tell how Senator Brandegee voted against the child labol bill the first time and how he was absen the second time it came up. In regard tC the suffrage question, Mrs St. John saiC that Senator Brandegee refused a sui frage committee an interview. There il something wrong with any woman wh, gives Senator Brandegee a vote, Mrs. st John said.
 Speaking of Lonergan, Mrs. St Johl said that he has many times voted il

NORWICH STATE HOSPITAL
 ASKS FOR CITY WATER

The water board, with President Reu- ben S. Bartlett presiding. considered two important matters at its October meeting Friday night.
 petition was before it from the Nor wich state hospital, asking that the city water mains be extended to supply water to the hospital, as its supply is made quate now from the wells which are on the hospital grounds and the hospital reservoir. In a dry spell like the pres ent, the water situation becomes seri- ous one for the state hospital The board decided that the question was one on which they could take no action with out referring it first to the common council.
 A large part of the meeting was de- voted to discussion of ways to restore again to operation the regulations gov. erning plumbing installation in this city. The water department formerly had such regulations but they have fall en into disuse in the past few years the members of the board said.
 Further action on this matter will be taken at a future meeting.

Secrets of London
 Complexion Doctors

Famous London specialists who cater to titled ladies and others of social promi- hence employ. a remarkable method of complexion rejuvenationn. One undergoing this treatment visits the beauty doctor late in the afternoon, has something dabbed over her face, then, heavily yelled, departs in her motor car. This is re- peated daily for a week or so, when a complexion of snowy purity and exquisite delicacy is in evidence. The secret of this method is-ordinary mercolized wax Anyone can apply the wax without assist ance of specialist An ounce of 1t (ob- tainab at drug stores here as well as in EnEland) usually suffices. It is used like cold cream before retiring. and washed of mornings. Its success is due to pe- culiar absorbent property which gradually removes wornout particles of cuticle re- vealng the younger. healthier skin be- meath.
