 James 4. Hynes, in a ringing speech nominated Homer F. TwitchelI of Nau- gatuck for senator. There was no op- position and Mir Twitchell was unanl- mously nominated by exclamation. The next business was the selection of members of the state central committee. Edward Williams of Waterbury nomi- mated Fred J. Brown for the place, say ing that MT Brown Was a man of ster- ling qalities and a man in every way capable of filling the place.
 William Kennedy of Naugatuck nomi- mated Thomas Conran of that town. The name of John B. Papc, of Oxford, was mentioned, but afterward withdrawn. It was moved and seconded that Mr l Brown be nominated by exclamation. Mir Kennedy objected to this, After much discussion the amendment offered by Mir Kennedy, nominating Mir Conron, was put before the convention and was decided lost by the chair. Mir Kennedy doubted the decision, and called for a rising vote. This brought out lengthy discussion. After much debate a rising vote was taken and the chair was sus tained in his decision. Then the ques- tion of nominating Mir Brown was dis cussed and a rising vote was taken. Il was big victory for Mir Brown, who received the votes of all the delegates except those from Naugatuck.
 Speeches were made by John Fitz patrick and William Kennedy, in which they spoke very encouragingly of the outlook for the democratic party.
 While the committee on credentials were in session, the convention called l, upon J. s. Fay, c. l. Tremaine anC others, who made speeches in which tn, democracy was encouraged and tht work of the party commended.
