that the chairman of the delegates from each ward should act as a committee on credentials and that they should re- tire and act in that capacity. This was done. Then Delegate William O'Keefe
 moved that the candidates for the off, fees of first and second representatives should be placed in nomination in or der that the delegates should know for whom they were voting. Previous to this Thomas OBrien of the Second wa I'd wanted to have the secretary inform
 the convention who the delegates were
 and how many there were and that the convention could then know whether they had a right to vote in the conven-
 tion. Chairman McNerney entertained i MT. O'Brien's motion and the secretary then counted the delegate present and found that there were 96 present. Then the committee on credentials reported
 that there were 96 delegates that were entitled to vote in the convention. MT. OKeefe then renewed his motion that the candidates be named, but MT. Mc- Nierney asked him to wait and then on motion he appointed two tellers,
 namely, Anderson of the Eighth ward and c. Spreyer of the Second ward, and they took seats on the stage ready to act.
 Then nominations were called for and
 Charles Mulvey of the Second ward placed in nomination the names OF Jerome F. Donovan as the first repre-
 sentative. He said that MT. Donovan had already served the people of New
 Haven with great acceptability and
 that he was entitled to a renomination and the people would find that when he was elected, as he would be in all cer-
 tainty, that it would be found that the confidence of the people would not be misplaced. MT. Mulvey's remarks were
 duly applauded, and then further nomi- nations were asked for by the chairman, and Delegate John Gallagher of the Third ward arose and placed in nomina- tion J, Edward Miller. He said that Mr. Mller ought to have a chance to show what he could do and he pledged the convention that if his nominee was chosen that the people of New Haven would find that no mistake had been made. Then the chairman directed the secretary to proceed in calling the roll of delegates. It was found that dele gate after delegate voted for Donovan, About the time that the Third ward delegates were being called it was found that they were all voting for Donovan. and a friend of MT. Miller arose and asked leave to withdraw the name of his candidate, but it was ruled by the chairman that it was too late and that tA
 balioting must proceed to finish. Another delegate then arose and said that he had noticed that everyone was calling MT. Donovan Jerome F, Donovan, and he wanted to make a cor rection. He said that the name of the candidate was Jeremiah F. Donovan, and he desired to call the attention of the convention to the fact as it might in future save some unfortunate com- plications in regard to the printing of the ticket, and that it would not be proper to nominate Jerome F. Donovan. After that the chairman designated the candidate as Jeremiah r. Donovan. When the balloting was concluded it was found that MT. Donovan had re- ceived 95 votes and MT. Miller only one vote. The nomination of MT. Donovan was then made unanimous, and the se- lection was vociferously app1auded.
 Then nominations were called for for the second representative, and Delegate John Gallagher of the Third ward plac- ed in nomination J. Edward Miller for that position. Bernard M. Hope of the Fourth ward asked for the nomination of Joseph J. Reilly, the candidate that was endorsed by the Economic league He said that he has known MT. Reilly for long time and that MT. Reilly had held important positions in the labor league and had been the president and secretary of that organization. He said that it would be found that MT. Reilly would polls the full vote of that or ganization and that every democrat would vote for him because he had been first and last and all the time democrat. He had ever been found faithful to the trusts reDosed in him and if the convention nominated him it would do a grand work and would name man that would secure victory at the polls, and that he was the strong est man that could be named for that position.
