of venerable Senator George w. Norris and his progress sive followers beginning to take definite form.
 He will see how the old war; time white elephant, Muscle Shoals, being transformed into a faithful work-horse, serving those who helped pay for him.
 He will see how already 8 higher standard of liivng has come to thousands of people of the great basin of the Tennessee river. The president, indeed, will find THAT power and light charges have been reduced by millions of dollars, and that the end is not vet. THAT dams are fast rising, ahead of schedule, to store flood waters, improve navigation, and generate cheap electricity.
 THAT tremendous eorts are be- ing made to salvage the soil from that silent thief, erosion.
 THAT forests are being planted.
 THAT the hoped-for diversified tion of industry has already begun.
 THAT, in sum total, work is well uIlOeE way tudt SHOulu IedO IOSl- cally to national planning for n complete watershed involving many states and the future lives and welfare of millions"
 BROAD OBJECTIVE SOUGHT
 These were the words with which the president described the scope of the Muscle Shoals project when he suggested that Congress create the Tennessee Valley Authority, the government organization which is doing all these things.
 Now the president will see for himself what this mos advanced of New Deal agencies has actually been able to do in the IS months with the $50,O00,0O0 or so origin ally given it and the additional $4S,0O0,000 later appropriated.
 He will see that 1t has pro- gressed a long way toward the goal. And he will see renewed ev- idence to support his belief that cheap electric power is the key to improving the standard of living of the 2,00O,0O0 people in parts of seven states that make up the Tennessee Valley watershed.

that Waterbury is much more of a democratic city than it ever was. They assert that the speakers at the rally Saturday evening will give good sound arguments as to why this city and the entire state should go democratic. There will be an ar ray of speakers including James William Fitzpatrick, a native son, who can talk just as well as he can write.
 rom" Shanahan, secretary of the general committee in charge of the parade and rally, says he has received plenty of requests from outside the city for reservations. He has to inform them that there will be no reservations. It will be first come first served and the pa rade will get under way from the city hall. Everybody will walk ex- cept Governor Cross. He wants to. but the committee feels as though he should ride.

the city during 1918, 1919. 1920 and 1921. He was defeated by Guilfoile, who steered the ship of state for the next eight years. The democrats did not stop even then but went on to elect Mayor Hayes, who is now serving his third term. Judging from his record it looks as though he would go on indefi- nitely.
 How majorities have changed in Waterbury since the days of trolley strikes and fires. The five or six hundred plurality has grown in leaps and bounds. A thousand plurality was looked upon as big in the days when the late Tim" Brennan was chairman of the party. What a fine fellow he was! When Guilfoile received about 2000 in his first election, is was considered 8 landslide. When Mayor Hayes received over 5000 to defeat George Tracy a few years ago, it made everybody gasp. Yet he went on to win the last election by over 5000. In that contest his opponent, Andrew Cooney received about 4000 less than MT Tracy in his bid for the mayoralty.
 Statisticians say that 1t is diffi- cult to dope out election figures, but the democrat leaders claim

Among others in the big parade, which will be staged in this city Saturday night, will be four ex- mayors, who are still prominent in democratic circles. They are William B. Thoms, Francis T.. Reeves, Martin Scully and Francis P. Guilfoile. They went through hectic battles and many of their staunch supporters have since answered the call of the last trumpet.
 Thoms was mayor from 1905-to 1909. His toughest battle was with John E. Sewell, then local manager of the trolley company. The nomi- nation next went to Reeves but he was beaten the first time by ''BilI' Hotchkiss. The following election Reeves came throung against May or Hotchkiss. Governor Baldwin then appointed him judge of the district court, now the court of. common pleas, so Reeves moved on. The late Attorney Edward B. Kelley was prosecuting attorney of the court, Attorney John F. Mo- Donough was clerk and Attorney Michael V. Blansfield his assistant.
 Then came Martin Scully who carried on for the next four years, being defeated by "Bill" Sandland in his third attehpt. Sandland ruled

BLAMED
 FOR DYSENTERY
Health Officials Prove De- tectives in Tracing
 NeWingtOn Epidemic

No small amount of detective work was. needed on the part of the officials of the State Depart ment of Health in tracing down the source of the outbreak of bacillary dysentery which occurred in New ington early this fall, according to a description of the investfga.. ton included in an article by pr Harry B. Smith, epidemiologist of the Bureau of Preventable Dis- eases, in the current issue of the departments monthly bulletin.
 AS usual in such outbreaks the health officers went to each home in which a case of dysentery had occurred in order to fix the date of onset, to ascertain the source. of the water, food and milk supplies, and to pick up other information of interest.
 The particular community where the outbreak took place was thickly settled, but of extremely rural type. The investigators found that none of the homes in which cases occurred was furnished 9 common water supply. The milk supply was a common factor in only three of the ten families in- volved. The food supply was pur- chased from various dealers with no common factor pointing to- ward food as the vehicle carrying the infection.
 All of the families had been in close contact with each other but analysis of the onset dates, show ing that nearly half of the cases came down on one day, made it seem illogical to explain the out break by contact infection.
 Finally, it was learned that a peddler had regularly distributed such foods as pies and dried meats in the community. This clue was pursued, the peddler was located and it was found that he had suf- fered all the symptoms of dysen- tery for a period of four or five days before the Newington out break took place. He admitted that so severe was his case that in mak- ing his rounds he had been forced to utilize the outdoor privies of every family to whom he sold food. Due to lack of washing facilities, he had easily transferred the germs to the food with his hands, and the food, easily ingested with

 False RumOrs
 |t There have been rumors abound town the last few days relating to the disbandlng Of the Tribune Ath- letic club. According to the of- ficers of the club there is no such plans as stated. The football team has broken up for tthe remainder of the season but this was due to the fact that the team was not sup ported by followers and rather than risk the chance of running hp bills the club decided to drop the pas time for the remainder of the year.
 The club will hold an entertain ment and dance on November 22 at Buckingham hall and in the meantime will make arrangements for social in their club rooms on Baldwin street.
 Feast of All Souls
 Confessions will be heard tonight at St. Francis church for the feast of All Souls day which will be ceIe- brated tomorrow. Tomorrow is also the first Friday of the month and the masses will be at 5:30, 6:30 and 8 o'clock.
 Halloween Very Quiet
 Residents of the hill witnessed one of the quietest Hallowe'ens in some time last night. Whether it was the fact of the extra policemen or whether the time has come that the night is no longer being cele- brated remains to be seen. There were very few children on the streets and as far as could be learned there was not single bon fire in the vicinity of the hill. Most of the children who did dress CID made their way to Hopeville to participate in the parade sponsored by the Hopeville Community club.
 Scouts To Celebrate
 Troop of St. Francis Boy Scouts will hold Halloween mas querade party tomorrow night in the church hall on Washington street. Donald and Jack Felth will be in charge of arrangements and no scout not in costume will be ad- mitted to the hall.
