Says His Use of Franking Privilcac Was Not Against the Low. At a democratic rally at Middletown Monday night Congressman Bryan F.| Mehan_ sbsolutels maede by Major Richard P. Freeman, the republican candidate fof congress, regarding misuse by him of the con- gressional franking privilege, absent- ceism from corgress and the matter of the full crew bill. S5k He explained fully the letter seiit out by him under the frank of congress and denied absolutely that it was an appeal for votes. Ide stated that United States Attorney Scott had been uoted by a paper in its story pub- ed Sunday morning and _that reeman had been behind the story.” Congressman Mahan said: “My - contention regarding the use of the congressional frank has been refuted every claim upheld by Governor Baldwin, and Mr. : delightful Seott said that he had been called from bed by the Courant at 11.30 Sat- urday night and that some of the statements attributed to him were ab- | and manufactured out| solutely false, of whole cloth.” % ‘Wher asked concerning his election, Congressman Mahan said: “I predict my re-election by a larger majority than ever” He was then asked: “Wiil you deny absolutely the crarges made by Mr. Freeman?’ “I do,” he said; “they are absolutely false, and I think I made that cleir concerning every point at the rally here.”. Congressman Mahan further stated that United States Attorney Scott was rather warm in regard to some of the statements attributed to him in th: affair, and that a suit for damages was liable to be the outcome. RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS. Connecticut State Tuberculosis Com- " mission: Expects Banner Year. The Connecticut state tuberculosis commission in handling the Connecti- cut Red Cross Christmas -seal cam- paign is making preparations for the largest sales in the state’s history. These expectations are based on the enthusiastic. support the campaign is receiving from a.llei:des. State Director H. E. Clearman, 0 has just return- ed to his office in the state capitol from a tour 'of Connecticut, reports that the appointment of agents is pro- gressing In a very gratifying manner. Mr. Clearman hopes to have an ac- tive, society as Red Cross Christmas seal agent in every town in the state when the sale opens Nov. 27th, the day after Thanksgiving. Where a town is so represented 85 per cent. of the proceeds of the sale of seals re- mains in that town for local anti- tuberculosis work. This gives the movement a strictly local -character, and as charity begins at home it s hoped that every resident of Connecti- cut ‘will help his town and himself by lending his support. { gational church.
