State Politics. Democratic Congressional Nominations
 Eaton Nominated at Hartford Sey-
 mour in the Fourth District.
 The First District Democratic convention at Hartford yesterday was called to order by George G. Sill at 11:3O. Hon Albert Austin, of Suffield, was chosen chairman, and w. w. Cowles of Manchester, secretary. After &C., cepting the list of delegates MT. West, of Hartford, nominated William w. Eaton, and Mir. Eaton was unanimously nominated by exclamation. Resolutions were passed, and MT. Eaton being loudly called for responded with thanks for the nomination, though he had not, he sad, sought it. After highly eulogizing his district he launched several shots at the Republican party-speaking of the riven and harbor bill ''steal' and adding that proper revenue bill must ema- nate from the House of Representatives, as also legislation for the great economical and industrial interests of New England He promised that the next House would be Dem ocratic, whereat there was great applause. "Now, sir, what does this district desire? Go and ask the manufacturers and the business men in village, town and city ask the silk makers of Manchester and cotton and woolen manufacturers of Rockville, and great thread manufacturers and various mechanical and productive interests in all parts of this pre- eminently in- dustrial district, who has taken care of their interests during the last six years. I have no pledges to make, but the interests of my native State are dear to me. My record in the past in all these matters is f1tnr0 TherafnrG I to you, gentlemen, who are from the great manufacturing towns and business places you from surrounding towns and from Hart ford, representing great financial, business and commercial interests, shall, if elected, do in the House as I have done in another branch of the country's legislature at Wash ington. My respected opponent and friend, MT. Buck, was elected two years ago by plurality of 1925 You bid me lead this bat tie against plurality of nearly 2,OOO Now I say, while l don't want the nomination I don't want to be defeated. Go home and go to work. I have no abuse or detraction for any of my opponents. MT. Buck is a pleas- ant gentleman. Like all other people he is liable to make mistakes, but there is, and there should be blackguardism or abuse on s1de Leave that to the other party. Who can tell what questions will come up during the next two years It may be another river and harbor bill or some other great extravagance reaching far up into the millions and involving the dignity and glory of the American name. You should be represented not by one who promises that he will never do so again, but by one who can say that he never did so. Your repre-. sentatlves in Congress, who hold the purse strings, should be men on whose judgment you can rely when great measures come, when great questions and bad bills, involving ! taxes, come before Congress. may add one | thing now. There will scarcely be in the next House of Representatives Democratic member with whom l am not personally &C., quainted. Therefore have a right to say l that if I should become the representative of ] this district shall take my seat with a ma jorlty who known me- and I will say it, ! though it may sound immodest, therefore if the interests of the First district are en- trusted to my hands, they will be we'll cared for. If in other han s. God knows I hope they will be equally we'll cared for" ! MIR. WAGNER OF NEW HAVEN
