 SPRINGFIELD, Sept. 26.-Springield has ex erted herself to welcome the Democratic
 convention. The City Hall is covered witl
 bunting, and there is drapery of the nation. al colors over the entire ceiling. The con
 vention was late in coming to order. It was 1920 when Colonel John H. French, chair
 man of the State committee, called it to
 order. While the convention was assembling
 there was distributed at the deors pamphlet containing Butler's closing argument in the
 Tewksbury case. It was illustrated with
 cheap wood cuts containing views of the
 dead. room at the Harvard medical school, disgusting views of rats eating the face of g corpse at the Tewksbury aImshouse, and cuts of the human leather as prepared for shoes Immediately upon assembling an uproar be- gan on the part of those who objected to the out and dried programme. Quiet could with difficulty be restored for the open ing prayer, which was strong But Ter plea, by the Rev. Mir. Simonds, of Spring field. Colonel French then made his open ing speech, attacking the Republicans, and prophesying victory for the Democrats. He ridiculed the Republicans for their failure to
 make national affairs prominent, and defend ed Butler for his Tewksbury course. His at tack on Colonel Goldman, who presided at the Republican convention, as lawyer with out brief, soldier without record, man who never earned a dollar that was ever heard of, and who is unworthy to loose the latchet of the Governors shoe. was loudly applauded.
 The performance of electing committees was gone through, according to the prear- ranged programme, in spite of attempts to get the floor by several delegates. They were ignored, and the committees were select ed as published in the morning newspapers. When the nomination of the State committee was taken up a new uproar began, started by those opposed to the attempt of the pres ent Democratic State committee to perpetu ate itself. Finally the prearranged order was carried out, but only by the chairman's rid ing rough-shod over all parliamentary rules One obstreperous delegate refused to be put down, climbed on the platform and shook his fist in the chairman's face. He was hustled of by the prominent Democrats on the platform.
 The committee on credentials reported three hundred and twenty-five towns and twenty-one cities to be represented by one thousand five hundred and ninety-seven del- eRates. After the committee on permanent L 1A kS4r lecting Edward Avery, of Braintree, and Col onel Coveney, of Cambridge, as permanent officers, MT. Aellen, of Worcester, who had been hustled of, came forward again and was recognized. He made Q harangue for free speech and Democratic fair play, but cried out to him to sit down, and stamped and missed. Finally the chair told him he could not allow him to go on and ordered him to retire. He had to yield, and then MT. Avery delivered his prepared speech as permanent president. It was 8 sharp attack upon the Republicans as friends of Star route thieves and supporters of the dangers of an ignorant negro vote in the South. He appealed to the masses against the men in office and asked them to rally for the honor of the State. He was cordially endorsed in his extreme views by the applause of his lis- teners.
 Congressman n-slect Patrick A. Collins was EHou DGOuRub 1OEWAE0 bO AOII446b0 kA0 CoAAA- date for Governor. He made set speech of eulogy of Butler and defence of his course, and moved his nomination by exclamation. It was received with applause and cheers. Ex-Collector Simmons, of Boston, endorsed the motion in set speech in which he referred at length to Buffers military record at New Orleans and to the compliments that record had re- ceived. The unanimous renomination of Butler was then made with 8 whoop, The State ticket was completed by adopting the report of the committee, as follows: For Lieutenant Governor, Frederick o. Prince, of Boston; for Secretary of State, Charles Receiver General, Charles H. Ingalls,, of North Adams; for Auditor, John Hopkins, of Millbury.
 While the resolutions were being read Governor Butler was announced, and as he was escorted to the platform the convention rose and cheered. He said that in response to the invitation of the committee he came to say few words. It remained for him to give an account of his stewardship. Not one of his recommendations was passed by the Legislature, while many of the measures passed were so defective that they did not express what the framer's intended and ten times he had to send bills back to be put in proper form. Thirteen bills were vetoed and of these only one was passed over his veto, and that bill to increase salaries. The Governor reviewed his administration. He said he found bad management in the State prison and corrected it; he found only corruption in the Insur- ance department and he changed it's administration; also that of the women's prison, saving $10, 600 annually. He then reviewed the Tewksbury investigation and said the Republicans say must go, but am willing to stake my hopes of heaven on the issue and begged the people to give him legislature that knew it's mind and didn't have to run to the Republican State conv en- ton for instructions.
