l" One of the most important pieces oi political news of the
campaign is the announcement that Sarnuel 1E. Vincent, Pro-
greesive candidate for Congress in the election of 1912, and a
large number of associate members of that party} are out for the
election of E. J. Hill for Congress.
The following petition, bearing the name or Mr Vincent and
other, members is but one of many endorsements for the Republi-
can candidate: -
We, the undersigned, among the orignal Progressives and
founders of the organization in Connecticut, assembled in Bridge-
port on the 28th day of October, 1914, having carefully consider-
ed the present business needs of Fairfield County, and the best
method of improving our business conditions, and having also
carefully, weighed the qualifications of the candidates for Congress,
Have RESOLVED That consistent with true Progressive
Principles, working always for the public interests as against any
Partisan Policy endorse E. J. Hill as the most capable, the most
efficient candidate before this District, whose election will most
likely assist a return of the former conditions of prosperity.
