 That Were In Attendance

Iue u0legaCeS LO the second congress sional convention were called to order in City hall at 1 30 o'clock this after noon by James Roche of Wallingford Ex Congressman Pigott of New Ha- ven was elected as permanent chair man. David Fitzgerald, also of New Haven, was chosen secretary. There was no contest for either position. It was voted that no committee on ere dentials be appointed, the roll call be- ing considered sufficient. The next move was a recess of ten minutes, to give the delegates from Middlesex an opportunity to caucus. 1t was stated during the forenoon that w. B. Thoms or F. F. Gtiilfoile of this city could have the nomination for congress, but it seemed neither cared for it. This left the matter in the hands of the Mfddlesex delegation, the New Haven delegates having no can didate.
 On re-assembling, the Middlesex delegation reported that they had failed to agree on candidate. The | fight was between Louis Fisk of Bran ford and Judge Northrop of Middle town
 Messrs Tyler, Fitzgerald and Walsh l were appointed committee on resolu- tions.
 The chair then called for nomina- tions for congressman. | William Fender of New Haven nom- mated Louis Fisk, and Edward Rogers nominated Judge Northrop. The non- 1nation of Judge Northrop was second ed in brilliant speech by Judge Don ahue. Prentiss Chase of New Haven seconded the nomination of MT Fisk. A vote was ordered by roll call and D. B. Fitzpatrick was chosen to assist the clerk in keeping record of the vote.
 While the vote was being taken and after Cromwell had gone back on Judge Northrop, Judge Donahue step ped forward and stated that he didn't suppose anybody wanted to hear the result. He moved that the nomina- ton of Mir Fisk be made unanimous. The motion was put and carried with yell that shook the building. Mir Donahue did not show the white feather until he was sure that his man had no show. Fisk had gone out of New Haven county and travelled al- most through Middlesex before Judge Donahue wilted, and then the vote stood ST to 19 in favor of the man from Branford.
 The committee on resolutions then reported. The resolutions indorsed the national ticket and paid glowing tribute to the congressional candidate. It was passed unanimously.
 The following were named as a con- gressional committee: James E. Roche, Wallingford; David E. Fitzgerald, New Haven; Charles Kaschube, Meri- den: John Bransfield, Portland; John w. Larlzin, Derby; Thomas D. Coulter, Essex.
 The convention then adjourned.
 Louis A. Fisk is one of the best known men in the state He is the owner of the trotting park and ath- letic grounds at Branford and has al- ways taken m interest in politics. He was member of the last legislature and represented Branford in the Con stitutional convention, and according to MT Sullivans summary of his QuiIfties was the right man in the right place. He stood for home rule and everything else that the people of Connecticut feel the need of It is certain that MT Fisk developed won derful strength in Waterbury in a very brief period and if he can keep it up until after the November election there can be no doubt about his abili- ty to out-distance MT Sperry.
