The Bowery is my favorite ground to study humanity. In the Bowery in New York you find that covers “three-quarters of a sjuare mile and has 330,000 people packed into jthat space.

Once in there I found young men gathered sround a table studying the woré of God. The church has about 60 members, of which are planning to to China with their teachin; There is an organiza- tion of the Boy Scouts. The mission home I found to be interesting. Rev.

Mayor Danlel P. Dunn of Williman- tic was unanimously nominated for congressman ‘at the democratic con- ventlon of the Second Connecticut dis- trict held Saturday in the town hall in this city, Judge Thomas J. Kelly of the democratic state central commit- tee called the convention to order at 12.10 o'clock. Upon motion of Joseph F. Williams, Charles W. Comstock of Montvillo was made chairman.

York of North Stonington, James Hag- gerty of Willimantic and Matthew Griffin_of Middletown. As a committee on resolutions he named John C. Geary of New London, Judge Thomas J. Kelly of Norwich, A.

Burke said he did not feel equal to the occasion as the people have en- tered upon the biggest campaign this countfy has ever seen. The republi- can orators and candidates are goins bout the land but the democrats hdve not commenced as yet but when they begin the people will hear a istrong case. I believe and many of our party believe Wilson has kept this nation free from war while Europe Las been ablaze with.strife. This na- tion is prosperous and happy and busy. The American people have every rea- son to offer thanks to the Almighty that Woodrow Wilson has been at the head of this nation for the past ihree years. ‘There is not time enough to tell you of the good deeds of the leader who has never thus far faltered. I don't belicve the people are going to make a change this year. I cannot understand how any sane minded citizen of ‘the state can vote anything but the demo- cratic ticke tthis fall. The republi- cans are scurrying to get back into office and if they do all the constructive work of Wiison will be wiped oat. We will need a good congressman from this district. I will nnme a can- didate who has proven his worth as mayor and state officer and has done astounding work in office and bas been a euccess in life. He is Daniel P. Dunn, the mayor of Willimantic, and I place his name before this conven- tion. (Applause.) The nomination was seconded by John F. Connery of Middletown. Abel P. Tanner of New London said he did not desire to speak at lensth but wished to Dbe conspicuous only as a loval democrat among the rank and file at the convention.
