In addition Mr. Spellacy later stated that ma jority of Hartford county is behind him and while he Is not selfish in seeking the nomination and would step aside if the party will benefit, he will make the run against Senator Mclean if the convention so decrees. The statement is the first by MT Spellacy that he is in the race al though a vast number of his friends have been actively urging his nomina- ton for some weeks and now feel that he will have little difficulty in out-running former Congressman Au- gustine Lonergan who was the sena- torial nominee two years ago.

MAILING MAY BE
 CHOSEN FOR RUN
 AGAINST MERRITT
Friend of President Gompers Sug- gested for Congress in Fourth District.

According to a story published in the Waterbury and Bridgeport Her aids of Sunday last, Democrats of Fairfield county are discussing the possibility of William English Wal ling, well known Labor economist and close friend of Samuel Gompers, may receive the nomination for Con- gress from the Fourth district and make the run there against Congress- man Schuyler Merritt Save the Her aid:
 "The possibility of William English Walling, well known labor writer and economic expert, receiving the sup port of the Democratic party in Fair field county for congressman from the Fourth district is being discussed and no little interest is being felt in the results.
 "Wa1ling's residence is in Green wich. He Is a man of means, belongs to an old American family and is in the prime of life. During the war he was the right hand man of Samuel Gompers in handling labor publicity and enjoyed the confidence of PreSi- dent Wilson to such an extent that he was invited to accompany the Root commission which went to Russia early in the war. Wal1ing declined this appointment because he pre- ferred to work in America. He has written several authoritative books on labor subjects, and has been an uncompromising foe of the Bolshe- vistic experiment in Russia.
 "Walling is an able speaker and would put up strong campaign if

he were nominated He is not in the state at the present time, and 1t Is not known how he would feel about making the run, even if the nomina- ton were rendered him, but his friends believe he would accept.
 There has not yet appeared on the horizon a Democratic candidate who has any -particualr qualifications to comment him as a congressman, and there seems to be no rush to give Schuyler Merritt battle for his seat.
 From the standpoint of ability and familiarity with national issues which will face congress for the next sev- eral years, there are very few in the county who have such a fine equip ment as Walling. He has devoted lifetime studying the fundamentals of the difficult questions now defying had practical experience to supple ment his theories. \
 "No doubt his appeal would be made frankly to the labor vote Tn the county to support him, and labor or ganizations would in all likelihood throw their influence in his behalf As labor leaders in Washington have nothing in particular to thank Con- S1GSS1ldu NlSIIIll IOl they WouId SiVC Walling all the support they could in his campaign. This would be in keeping with the policy of organized labor to support its friends at the polls and fight it's enemies, regardless of party affiliations. There is a possibility that a man like Walling would go before the voters as a coalition candidate with the Farmer-Labor, Socialist and Dem ocratic organizations behind him. In
 many parts of the country the So- cialist party is supporting candidates
 outside of it's own party membership where the candidates have shown that they can be trusted to use po-. litical power for the benefit of labor,
 and although Walling's stand on the
 Bolsheviki has displeased many So- l cialists they would support him on l purely American issues"

PEONAGE IN KANSAS?

Topeka, Kan, Aug. I8.-W. E. Freeman, president of the. Kansas State Federation of Labor, has asked Governor Allen to authorize inves- tigation of the charges of peonage nj this state. The trade unionist says:
 "Advices from railroad men in the vicinity of Herington and Wellington lead me to believe that members of the national guard on duty at Her ington, and railroad guards at We'll ington, are usurping their authority by forcing men returning from the harvest fields to leave the trains and station platforms at the points of guns and forcing them to enter the Rock Island and Santa Fe shops, tell ing them that if they do not go to work in the shops they will be pro- secuted for trespassing upon railroad property"

pensate tho Board treasury for tho
expenditures for additional land.
No attempt Is made In this esti-
mate Of the future needs Of the school
plant to provide for the district which
will be affected BY tho completion Of
tho Delaware River Bridge. School Of
ticials say that tho bridge may create
an entire commercial district in a pre-
sent residential section, and again that
IT may add to the number of families
by the ercctiou Of large apartments.
They arc therefore waiting before sug.
gesting any changes Of material nature
in that neighborhood.-
There is Planned for the immediate
future, a new building an the site Of
George streets, which will alleviate the
crowded conditions in the Wolfe, Milf.
film and Jefferson schools--atl old
buildings.
To proceed with the vast building
program great loans will have to be
issued by the Board for terms Of
twenty years and more. The Board
under the present state law has tho
right to tax whatever is necessary to
pay the interest and sinking FUND
charges on loans for building pur-
poses.
The unanimous desire, not only on
the part Of Board members, but as
expressed throughout tho city. Of keep
ing down the tax rate, however, IS
nt present handicapping the Board in
attaining Immediately tho necessary
funds, and proceeding on large scale.
II the Board sees its way clear to
adopt the report Of DR.. Broomc. which
calls for the inm"diate st"~. "f y
program which will cost $15. ZOO 900
IN two years, It will have progressed
a long way toward remedying existing
conditions.
To do this the Board will have
70 have sufficient money 70 borrow
$1,000 900 during the coming year.
Each million borrowed means that q
charge of about $4,000 q year must
be met in payment Of sinking fund AMI
