was known to be favorable Co the head oi the lobby. and out of six representa- tive citizens who were sent from New Haven not a single important commit tee appointment was given them, and in the case of the House members, they were given the worst possible stats in the hall. In other words, a city having more than one-eighth of the population of the state was prac- tically disfranchised at the behest of j. Henry Roraback. Not only that. but cities, and notably Bridgeport. were disgraced by legislation taking away constitutional rights. Every town and every city was, by this act of legislation. threatened with prac- tieal extinction if 1t dared to refuse to bow it's knee to this one man. and al public service corporations were also threatened.
 "The limit of the audacity of ]. Henry Roraback during the last leg islature practically knew no bounds. His power has gone beyond an organ ization and has become personal. He has reached the point where he does not consult with the members of the State Central committee. but attempts to dictate to them and the members of the General Assembly.
 Tail of the Kite
 "The situation has now reached a point where it must be decided wheth- CT Mir. J. Henry Roraback is the state or whether the electors have some voice in the making of their laws. Un- der ordinary conditions this might be accomplished by turning out the par ty in power and electing a Democratic governor and General Assembly, but under present conditions the Demo- cratic organization is only the tail to the Rorabaek kite, and to promote the present Democratic organization to power would be only Jumping out of the frying pan into the fire The electors of the state must realize and remember the fact that MT. Roraback is intrenched in his control of the state and is backed by unlimited capital which he has made out of his lobby op- erations and private charters, and that only determined effort will dislodge him from his position. Some man must be nominated for governor who is strong enough and independent enough to remedy the evils which now exist. If l am that man l have pledg- cd my best powers to accomplish re- suits

UNSOLICITED MAIL

Chamber of Commerce Direct ors Favor Bill to End Mer-
 chandising Nuisance
Would Make 1t Illegal to Send Arti-
 eles Not Ordered

At the regular meeting of the di- rectors of the Putnam Chamber or Commerce. Monday evening, that body went on record as favoring bill now before congress making 1t illegal 70 send merchandise through the mail to persons who have not ordered such merchandise.
 For months all sorts of merchandise has been received by people who have placed no order for the articles sent. The concerns send out the articles with the hone that the persons to whom they are sent will keep them and pay for them. So rapidly has this sort or merchandising developed that 1t has become a nuisance to those who do not desire to do their buying in this way The bill introduced. If passed. will put a stop to the scheme, and reads as fol- lows:
 That hereafter 1t shall be unlawful for any person or concern to send un- solicited through the mails parcels of merchandise for the purpose Of sale 10 the addressee. Postal employees shall decline 10 receive or forward such parcels. and postmasters may require persons and concerns conducting busi- ness in this manner to establish to the satisfaction of such postmasters that parcels offered for mailing have been ordered by the addresses. The pos tai service shall not aid or assist by the investigation of losses of any mer- chandise. by the transmission Of mon ey in payment of merchandise, or otn- erwise, any person or concern doing business, in whole or in part, by a method of practice or sending to ad- dressees merchandise which has not been ordered by such addresses on their behalf. And the postmaster gen. eral shall adopt such regulations as may be necessary and proper 70 en- force this law"
 It was voted that the support Of the Putnam Chamber of Commerce De made known to the sponsor of the oill excepting that it was the opinion Of the directors that the postoffiee depart ment should not be hurdened with the investigation of mail matter sent through the mails to determine wheth- CT or not 1t had been ordered by the addressee.

TWO SHOWERS GIVEN
 MRS. ALBERT ANDERSON

Mrs. Albert Anderson, nee Miss Freda Swanson, was pleasantly sur prised at the home of her parents on Walnut street, where she is temporar- fly making her home, with two miscel- laneous showers by her friends.
 The first shower was rendered on February 2. and was attended by the employees of Bugbee & Wulf's depart ment store and F. W. Woolworth's, where Mrs Anderson has been employ ed for the past few years. This was m the form of treasure hunt. The gifts were concealed in different parts of the house and Mrs. Anderson was pre- sented with map and sheet of direc- tions for the hunt.
 At the second shower a large clothes hamper was presented the guest of honor loaded with a large number of lovely gifts. The house was tastefully decorated in red and white in keeping with St. Valentine and the favors were red hearts.
 At both showers refreshments of coffee, cake and sandwiches were serv- ed by the hostesses, and games and music were enjoyed by the guests.
