New York city boy registered with the Hartford county camp delegation This the executive did with a short com mendatiou. That the choice was a po- pulaf one was evidenced by the ap- piause accorded the announcement by the campers who are really excellent judges of whether of not one of their number deserved the honor.
 Gray IS a student in New York high school. and has been a camper al Woodstock for two seasons. As a member of the first period camp group he received honorable mention when the cup was awarded to Sher- wood Mercer of south Manchester. During the first period Gray served as assitant to Mercer, who was edi- tor of the camp paper. When the lat ter Jeff camp at the opening 0t the second period Gray was elevated Co the Cdiiorship of the Gloom Chaser !, Thus strangely enough the cup award has gone to the editors of the camp paper during both periods.

Washington, b. (. July 24. 1924.
 Washington this week Is a surging sea of politics Guesses on every ton gue. Three campaign headquarters, l Igeneralled by three almost newly se- leeted campaign managers are getting under way Each is a vast and va rled assortment of data which is a. bout co be dumped on the unsuspect- ing voters Most of this data tells how and why each candidate will or wili not be elected.
 From the halls of the Capital to i the offices of the Senate and House down through the hotel Hobbies. out on ! the golf links and in clubs and busi- ness offices everything Is seasoned with the thrill of the actual start of the campaign. The lines are now de- finitely drawn and the wiseacres and political dupesters may now hold con- finuous court doling out their wisdom for the benefit of the few or many who are on hand to listen.
 Behind the scenes things are also moving, and at q good clip. The at tention of the major party leaders have been focused this week on de veiopmenfs in the La Toilette W heeler
 
 poll is a mystery to all of them, even to La Toilette and Wheeler them selves The popular belief is that they will get about fifty votes in the Electoral College which, unless some thing unexpected like the loss of New York happens, will not be suf- iieient to prevent the election of Cool idge.
 
 New England Out of IL
 New England Is not slated to f. Rnre in the upstart due from La Fol lette to any great extent. Gonnecti- cut is given almost unquestionably to the Republicans. New Hampshire held Co be the only doubtful state of the six. Al least that is what the Republicans say. but some observers are prone to consider Rhode Island the most doubtful of any of them. The Independents see chance to make profit out of the fight that Is on be- tween the big parties and perhaps capture that state for themselves, which would indeed rate as a distinct triumph.
 On the whole. New England is to be prominent in the campaign Two of the six candidate are native born New Englanders. Senator Wheeler was born in Hudson. Mass, while l Plymouth, Vt, is well known to be the birthplace of President Coolidge. For the Democrats the active New Englandef will be Thomas J. Spellacy Of Hartford. IL Is expected that he will he in charge If The Davis cam paign in the Northeast lie is well qualified for the work and is consi- dered one of fhe leading Democrats of the national organization and his appointed hY Glenn shaver. the new national eaa5rmaHi F expected any l day.

SMALLPOX SUBSIDIES

According to the health officers of nanielson and Putnam there are very few cases of smallpox in the former place while Putnam Is still absolutely free from attack. There is no long CT any evident danger of further spread of the disease, and no cause for alarm on the part of people in Putnam and towns to the south.

HUXLEY SOUTHWORTH GRIFFIN Special Correspondence to The Putnam Patriot

Senator Wheeler is going to spend the next three weeks resting on Cape Cod. He has no definite plan for cam paign work while he IS there, but does intend Co look over the ground. Some bedy in Massachasets told him the other day that the La Folette-W Wheeler ticket would run second in the Bay State and he would like Co believe it.
 White House Quiet
 Over at the White House things look calm and peaceful. The Presi- dent does his work daily and there IS no noise. Since William Nj. Butler came to Washington few days ago, things livened up a bit, he and MT. Coolidge had few conferences, but the theory still seems to be that he will stay in the White House this summer and attend to business. Some opponents of the Presidents election made bold Co suggest that he had learned lesson from the Hughes campaign in 1916.
 Frederick M Ryder of GoHHecti- cut. consul general at Vancouver, E. C., since 1919. has been retired automatically from the consular ser vice under the provision of the new Rogers bill. His retirement dates from July ] when the new measure went into effect. He is well passed the new ly adoptetd age limit of 65 years. be- ing now m his 72nd year.
 Mir. Ryder'a Career
 The retiring consul general was born in Canada and educated in the public schools. He has been a news paperman, but left private life in 1890 to become consul at Quebec. He re- tired three years later but accepted an appointed to San Juan del Norte in 1905. 4 few years later he be- came consul al Rimouski and, in 1914. consul general at Singapore. The next year he was assigned to Win nipeR where he remained as consul general until going to Vancouver.
 Mir. Ryder was one of the men of longest standing in the service. He is only one of several New England CTS to have been automatically re- tired by the new bill
 Relief from existing conditions of unemployment in New England is looked for within the immediate fu- ture by Director General Francis l. Jones of the '. S. Employment Ser vice. He says that the prosperity of the western farmer which will result from the present increase in the cost of wheat is bound to be reelected in better condition in industrial cen ters.
 sAs the farmer praspers. so the country nrespers." he said in an in- tcrvicw this week. For @ long time the farmer has been getting along on little or no money. His clothes aed shoes have been worn ragged. But aaW be- Is ta have money Co replenish these things and he must buy from fhe eastern manufacturers
