Mur- | 1ay, one of the New London asscsecrs, ‘was' momingt d -for the demniryi: can- :date. for (ongress from the seconi co: gresgional: district by the . district coi vention held at the town hall here Mo (Cay. noch arrived which was the an- nounged hour for the calling of the co; vention, ;there was only a slim attendance of delegates present from the four coun- ‘ties that make up the district, and it was 75 minutes later before' the convention was called to order by Judge Thomas J. Kelly the state central committeeman. The time between had been filled in by the local leaders of the party and a few of those from other towns in trying to find a candidate whose name could be placed before the convention for® the nomina- tion for congress, but it seemed that there were few who wanted to ' invite the avalanch of republican votes that it has beern predicted will be cast in the coming election. When Judge Kelly called the conven- tion to order at 115 there were 41 dele- gates in the town hall, including six women, four of whom were from New London. On motion of Meyer Blumenthal At- torney Edward T, Burke was chosen chairman, and Thomas Wells of Cov- entry. was made clerk on motion 6f Ed- gar .Yeomans of Andover. Chairman Burke recognized the pres- ence of the women for the first time in a democratic convention, welcoming them to the gathering and telling: them that ‘felt confident they would zive inte zent consideration to the issues of tl campaign. As there was no contest, Judge Kelly moved that the appointment of credentials and resolutions committees be dispensed with, which was voted. €. J. Ducy of New London presented the name of Mr. Murray, ‘who he said was an assessor in New London. had been alderman and selectman and four years ago was the only democrat elected in that city. Mr. Murray was the convention's choice by acclamation. With the business over in about ten minutes, a motion to-adiourn was of- fered, but Chairman Burke said he thought they ought not to separate with- | Panama canal tolls. but ‘out giving some expression. to the party spirit. He- invited ~some . of ' the dele- gates to speak, but both Mr. Ducy and ‘William T. Connor of New London de- clined the honor. Some ested that “we hear from the ladies.” but Chairman Burke said he thought this was hardly fair and he stepped into the breach him- self with a ringing speech that drew frequent bursts of applause from his hearers. From allthe talk he could hear on the street agd in the papers, said Mr. Burke, he felt There was great need for palight- enment on the position the democratic party had taken. Never had he heard such nonsensical .and silly bluff talk from tne mouth of presidential candidate as he had heard from Senator Harding. ‘Whoever sits in the White House for next four years Wwill have a job on his hands and he ¥ not belive the republi- can candidate was the man to safisty the country. 3 Mr. Burke ridiculed the position of Senator Harding in his statements. about the League of Natiohs and said the re- republican opposition to it was inspired by the desire to fight President Wilson. The league has stopped two wars in the past week, said Chairman Burke. Y Passing on to the Irish question, Mr. Burke declared that if we had joined the league the Irish question would have béen before it and settled léng ago. ‘The speaker said that:Senators Bran- degee, McLean ‘and Lodge had all been with President Wilson several years ago on the question of the repeal of the 2 now Senator -ding has brought this up against ident Wilson. “It's'a terrible thing.” said' Mr. Burke, “and I can’t tnderstand how the people will swallow the opposi- tion's campaign rtatements.” They are abusing President Wilson today, but in fifty years they will be honoring him as we do Washington and Lincoln. He declared it was the democratic par- ty that the women had to thank for the voté, and closed with some further com- ment upon the league of nations - in which he emphasized the nower of the beycott to control refractory countries. Mr. Burke spoke vigorously for half an hour and t:¥n the convention adjourn- ed at two o'clock.

Guy and Cornelius J. Downes, on Monday, when they stated that appli- coming in in great numbers. In the first or Central: district there are 700 appli- cations from women and three hundred «from men to be made voters. In the oth- er districts the applications are just as correspondingly heavy and it is esti- mated that the voting list of the town aft, the next election will be at least 10,- 00§, an increase of 4,000, the largest num- ber being women. Both of the registrars are putting in long hours arranging the voting lists and | Retting ready for the making of voters from Oct. 9 to 19 inclusive and it is expected that mguch work will be entail- All applications must be in the hands of the registrars not later thari 6 o'clock on«October- 5th. Another thing that will cause much work for the registrars and also confusion at the polls is the fact that marriage changes the names of the women voters. This situa- tion is the cause of a great deal of con- fusion as has been noted jn voting on school maters. If, when a woman voter is married, she would notify the regis- trars of her change of name and change of address it would cause less ccafusion and delay on voting days. RESUMING COUNTY WORK BY Y. M.
