nell asserted that every democrat holding office at the present time should be reelected. His plea was a spirited one and brought forth much favorable comment from older party leaders.
 MT. ODonnell not only pointed to the successful administration of governmental affairs by the demo- crats but also lauded the Water bury Democrat for its fine attitude in printing all political news in an unbiased manner. He charged news papers in the state as whole for deleting favorable democratic news from their columns.
 Lieutenantt Governor Frank Hayes of Waterbury was praised by ,, MT. ODonnell for the fine way in which he has served the public, both as mayor of the Brass City and as presiding officer of the Connecticut state senate.

 Oldest in State
 The oldest voter in the town of Southington, if not in Connec- ticut, who has announced how she intends to vote on election day is Mrs. Betsy Haviland, a home town girl, who has found favor and made good with Father Time.
 The above photograph was talk en two years ago on the occasion of her Tooth birthday. She was then visited by a member of the Democrat staff. A year ago the Democrat sent her greetings with its noon hour flashes on Novem- Der 18th. The little courtesy will be repeated on her next birth day. Will you be listening, Mrs. Haviland?
 Native of City ,
 Mrs. Haviland was born here November 13, 1884 and was mar ried 89 years ago to Barnes Havi- land of New York City. Her hus- band, who died more than 57 years ago, published the first local newspaper in Southington, known as the Southington Phoenix.

Students Protest
 Outdoor Recesses At Leavenworth
Waterbury, Conn. October 29, 1886.
The Waterbury Democrat, naor Cir.

The Waterbury Democrat,
 Dear Sir:
 I will be very grateful, if this item will be published by your paper. I wal;t to put in 8 protet against the unnecessary restric- tiOns and regulations froced upon the students of Leavenworth high school. What I mean is, that dur ing the students recess at II o'clock (which lasts for 20 min utes) the students are forced to leave the building, and go into the yard provided for them.
 Now, during the cold weather, the results have been disastrous. Many of the pupils have caught colds, which may develop into more serious ills. The teachers seem to have a lack of foresight. They started this system during the beginning of this year when it was warm. But it didn't seem to occur to them, that it is con- tinually growing colder. Now all of us know how quickly one can catch a cold, by leaving warm building for short space of time and then entering it again. They should work this rule ac- cording to the weather When the weather is conveniently warm, then put them out of the build ing. It is against reason to do what they are doing.
 I heinz a student there. asked one of the teachers why we had to go outside. He said because it was rule; all right, let it be a rule, but let it be reasonable and just, let every factor be taken into consideration before it is made a rule. It seems to me that these preaching padagOgues are criminally negligent concerning details such as these.

SEVEN -YEAR-OLD
 BOY SUCCUMBED

Chicago, Oct. 29-(UP)-A rare blood disease which doctors fought with elements manufactured in the bodies of his parents caused the death of Philip Levitt, 2, today. Philip was 8 victim of the com- monly fatal streptococcus veridans, germ which in its final stages att tackS the heart and the brain. He was given blood from another boy whose miraculous recovery from the disease three years ago puzzled medical science, and from his par entS who made themselves into human test tubes" to manufacture blood properties to combat the germ.
 The three-months battle, in which hundreds of persons from all parts of the nation volunteered their blood to save the boy, turned against Philip five days ago.
 He sank rapidly. His father, Morris. gave part of his blood late Wednesday in desperate effort to halt the decline.
