Cvianiasvavegenven Political Advertisement Second _congressional _district, com-. prising the counties of Middlesex, New Londtn, Windham and Tolland, sent out over his congressional frank, Is lia- Dle to be a pretty costly practice for himself, developed yesterday when United ‘States District Attorney Fred- erickyA. Scott admitted that the mat- ter been laid before him and that he investigating it, said the Hart- ford Courant. understood that Mr. Scott will e no action until after election, feel- ing that to do so might possibly em- Barrass Mr. Mahan in_his candidacy: It is known that My. Scott desires to bo perfectly fair in this matter, and that for that reason he will ‘move slowly. In speaking with a reporter of the Courant Mr, Scott said he in- tended to make & thorough investiga- tion, and that if he found that Con- gressman Maban had violated his franking privilege as charged, whether he was successful or not in the elec- tion of Tuesday, the matter would be taken up. The charge against ,Congressman Mahan, of which complaint has been nade fv the United States district at- torney, is that- he has violated his raniing privilege and is, therefore, guily of violating the postal laws of the government. The violation alleged consists of the letters advocating his, candidacy which- were sent out withi the past few days bfoadcast over his entire district. These letters have ab- solutely nothing in them pertaining to |- .gpvernment matters or public business, as is- intimated by the endorsement on the envelope: “House of Represent- atives, U. S. Public Document, Free" In short, they are nothing more than an appeal to the voters and a recitatin of the, congressman’s record in_con- gress and in the Connecticut legisla~ ture, both house and senate.

Room fer Since it has been decided to use the West Side fire station for the polling place on Tuesday, Chemical Co. No. 2 will be brought over from that station to the central station on Monday night and the West Side lars will re- main at the central station over Mon- day night and through Tuesday up to 9 o'clock in the evening, by which time it is promised that all the elec- tion paraphernalia will have been moved out of the way, But a man will be left at the West Side station during Tue: to an- swer any telephone alarms that might come {n and the call men will sleep at the station Monday - night. - It is somewhat of an awkward arrange- ment for the company at the central station for there is not room enough to back in and leave the wagon stand- ing with the pole in it. In case of a call for the company, they will have to stop to put the pole in, but with the auto chemical available, it is expected that all calls can be taken care of.
