Democratic Keynoter Lauds Smith and Condemns G | Buckingham Attacks Re-! publicans for Lining Up/| on Side of Graft While; He Extolls Virtues of Wilson’s Administrations Hartford, May 3 (®—A demand | that the party return to the prin ciples of democracy which permeat ed administrations of democratic presidents was made last night by Fdward T. Buckingham, of Bridg port, temporary chairman, and key noter, of the democratic state con- vention which today will choose Connecticut's delegation to the Houston convention. Because the democracy of the| state has been millitantly in favor of the nomination of Gov. Al Smith of New York for the presiden since the last national convention, and because insurgency in the party arising out of incidents at that con- vention has produced an effort to deny reelection to National Commit- teemen Thomas J. Spellacy and State Chairman Walsh, the conven- tion session is expected to be the most animated in 20 years. Ladies and Gentlenien:— 1 am deeply appreciative of the | honor conferred upon me of presid- ing as temporary charman of this convention and of speaking to you for a few niinutes upon some of the issues that will be involved in the coming campaign and reminding you of some of the traditions of the party we all love so much This convention will make history for our party and our state and will send dJelegates to the nominate the man who will be elec- ted the next president of thesc Unit- «d States. 18 Ycars Ago | Eighteen ycars ago it was my honor and privilege to atand upon‘ the platform at a democratic -(axe‘ convention at New Haven and sec- | ond the nomination of Judge Simeon | E.
