as the last Republican governor re- quires me to make known to you my feelings concerning the part I might be called upon to play in this coming campaign.
 "You all know that have no political ambitions to gratify and that I do not wish to stand in the way of anyone whom the people might consider a proper choice for the nomination. It is the right and the duty of the people to choose the candidates As well as to elect those candidates to public office. If the people of the state speaking through the Republican caucuses and convention choose me to run fo: governor in November feel that it would be my duty to abide by that choice and to put into the campaign whatever vigor and ex- perience I possess. If someone else should be chosen, then that one would have my wholehearted and unqualified support"

JOINS RANKS
 OF STARS IN ' FAMILY'S ACT
Girl Rider Attains Stellar ! Role in Cristiani Troupe
 With Ringing Circus

For over one hundred years the Cristiani family has been tops in bareback riding. Generation after generation has increased the pace of the faInily's equestlan feats un- til the Crlstianis today seem to ace complish the impossible atop 6 cantering white ring horse with easy grace.
 The newest star in the family of seventeen is Corcaita, of the fifth generation, who has been with the act since birth, but who has only been given top rating by her father, mother, brothers and sisters within the year. Corcaita Is a 1.-the, lovely brunette, and she is all daring agil- Aty and grace on ring horse.
 The Cristianis will be seen in the big top of the Ringing Bros. and Barnum 6 Bailey Circus, coming to Waterbury, Saturday, July {, doing an amazing array of new tl1rillers and breath-takers on their beauti- full horses, proving once again that they are among the greatest bare- back riding artists that ever lived.
 The Greatest Show on Earth for 1922, still further restyled by Nor- man Bel Geddes, internationally celebrated designer, presents 800 world renowned artists and a mul- titude of new and sensational in- novations on its spectacular pro- gram. The performances, featuring a new super-spectacle, magnificent, colorful and gorgeous in costuming and lighting, created by MT. Geddes at cost of over $1O0,000, will begin at 2:16 and 8:15 p. T1., in the worlds largest big top, this year fashioned tTl solid blue, with red, white and blue side walls and with Its interior newly streamlined.
 The doors will open at 1 and ' p. m. so that the public may leisurly inspect the redesigned and beauti- fled menagerie, where MT. and Mrs. Gargantua the Great and over a thousand other rare wild animals will be on view in their natural habitat cages and denS, with over- head, brilliant illumination and panelled, harmonious fronts.
 The new horse fair tent, with It's red, six-pole top and red, white and blue side walls and its long lines of beautiful equine champions and highly educated ring horses, is part of the treat the public enjoys in the menagerie and the adjoining tent of Gargantua the Great and his bride, M"Toto, the worlds most publicized gorilla couple.

STATE

If you intend to see the smash double show currently at Warmers $ State Theater you'll have to hurry as performances tomorrow evening positively conclude its engagement Headlining the program is Kay Ky ser and his band in My Fayorite Spy" with Ellen Drew, Jane Wymar and a score of other favorite enter tainers; also Joan of Paris" with Michele Morgan and Paul FIenreid.
 Starting Wednesday the State will usher In another mammoth show which will be topped by the all-out laugh hit Lady in a Jam" starring Irene Dunne with Patric Knowles, Ralph Bellamy and Eugene Pal lette.
 Lady in a Jam" Is said to be a worthy vehicle for the comedic talents of the glamorous lady whose comedienne abilities have delighted theater-goers in the past in such delightful film-fare as "The Awful Truth" "Theodora Goes Wild" and My Fayorite Wife,"
 Tn the new comedy Miss Dunne portrays an irresponsible New York heiress who goes broke and who then proceeds to go west, to the badlands of Arizona, to work an abandoned gold mine in 8 ghost town.
 Patric Knowles and Ralph Bella my are Miss Dunn'S leading men, and the supporting cast includes Queenie Vassar, Eugene Palette and Samuel s. Kinds.
 Oddly enough Miss Dunne never believed she possessed comedic talents when she was scoring hit after hit on the screen in outstand- ing dramatic performances such as Show Boat" Magnificent Obses- sion," "Ciinarron," etc. Then came the role in '"T.heodora Goes Wild" and Irene Dunne, the dramatic star, became Hollywood's leading come- dienne.
 This is Miss Dunne's first comedy under the guidance of Gregory La Cava. But 1t is definitely not La Cava's first experience with either Miss Dllnne or comedy as the fana- ous directors the star in two of her dramatic hits the recent "UnSlnish- cd Business" and symphony of Six Million"
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents North of the Klondike," Jack London's Y,aizI,tiAst advaTatllra stnYv with Rrod Crawford, Andy Devine, Lon Chaney, Evelyn Ankers and hun- dreds Of others in the giant cast.

Hartford, Conn, June 22-Goot news to the effect that their un- employment tax rate for the coming year will be at the minimum of 1t per cent will be sent to 26l6 Connec- ticut employers this week, State Labor Commissioner Cornelius J Danaher announced today. Only 1857 employers qualified for the minimum rate last year.
 Effective April of this year, enl- ployerS receiving the new merit rating" as a result of low payroll separations during the past three years will reap the benefit of the reduction in their next quarterly payment which is due July 2S.
 Three Year Total
 Merit ratings this year are based on 8 three-year payroll total of more than and quarter billion dollars, James J. Graham, EXecu- tive Director of the Employment Security Division explained. and employers are separateu ilivo 1S sep arate catesories, each representing l-l3 of the total state payroll, and with @ sliding scale of tax rates ranging from a low of 15 per cent to a high of 2.7 per cent. Employers are placed in each category on the basis of the number of payroll sep arations during a three year period IT, relation to their total payroll curing this same perido.
 Having Q marked bearing on the relative standing this year, MT. Graham said, was the fact that many concerns are now free from the high payroll separations exper- fenced in lo3S prior to the war ac- celeration. Being based on & three year period of turnover, MT. Graham said, many concerns were last year placed in lower categories because of their 1888 experience, but this year, encompasSing as It does the three years of industrial activity consequent to the defense effort, these same concerns, many of them with large payrolls, are now enabled to climb into the more fav- ored categories.
 55aE Employers
 Merit ratings this year are ap. pllcable to 7706 employers, an in- crease of 325' over last year" MT. Graham said. "some employers are going to be surprised to find that there will be a slight increase in their unemployment rate in spite of the fact that their turnover has been less during the past year. This is due to Q general improvement in all industries 50 that their relative standing may not be as good. Another factor entering the picture Is the fact that some of the larger employers have increased their pay roll by such c tremendous figure, and with turnover representing such

 most impressive, spectacle dramas unfolded on the screen. It's a thrilling and exciting tale of the Philippine scouts and their heroic bravery at the conclusion of the Spanish American War, when the Philippines were overrun by insur- rectionists and religious fanatics. The central theme of "The Real Glory" revolves around the ex- ploits of the scouts. who became a constabulary on the island and rallied to their support loyal na- tives and peaceful Moros. The Moros, a tribe of unorthodox Mo- hameddans, had retreated to the hills and jungles of the Sulu king dom to wage a fierce and religious war against the remaining Ameri- can troops. Here, indeed, is drama that makes every oval American cheer.
 For further entertainment, the Strand presents "The Strange Case of Dr. RX.," @ first run, first Wa terbury showing, film as the sec- ond smash hit on the same pro- gram. Featuring Patrick Knowles, Lionel Atwill, Anne Gwynne, Mona Barrie and Shemp Howard the story traces the mysterious career of 8 shadowy avenger who has Strangled six men previously ac- quilted in court.

 Mir. Graham cited the group of employers paying IT per cent as an example of what has happened in this regard. "In this category is one extremely large concern which has grown prodigiously during the past two years," MT. Graham stated. "As a result, this concern last year en- joyed the 1.7 per cent together with 402 other concerns, the total payrolls of all representing l-l3 of the whole state. By reason of growth of this one company there are this year only 67 other companies allocated to this specific group; the payroll of this diminished group also amounts to i-13 of the whole in payroll fig ures."

Graham said, while those in the lowest paying group, repre- Senting both large and small ern- ployers whose turnover rate has been practically nil for the past three years.

The status of Congressman Jos- eph E. Talbot was the principal sub- ject of speculation in fifth district Republican circles today, following announcement by ex-Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin that he will again be a candidate for the c. Q. P. guber- material nomination. It is not cer- tain whether Congressman Talbot will run again for Congress, will go on the state ticket or will run for any office.
 Mir. Baldwin, 1t Is believed, will prevail on Congressman Talbot to be a candidate for either congress sional or state office, pointing out this his vote-getting ability in the district will help the rest of the ticket.
 There have been hints that MT. Talbot would prefer a place on the state ticket to returning to Wash ington. If named for some part time post, such as state treasurer, which office he held for two years, or lieutenant-governor, he would be able to resume his law practice. Mir. Talbot had been urged to oppose Mir. Baldwin for the gubernatorial nomination, but declined. k MT. Baldwin announced his can- didacy in the following letter to members of the Republican state central committee:
 "At the meeting of the Republi- can state central committee in May your chairman stated, in answer to your inquiries concerning the cam paign for the governorship of the state this fall and my position in relation thereto, that some an- nouncement would come to you from me in the near future.
 While the convention is yet some time off I realize that my position
