Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-10-08
: POLITICAL POINTERS.
George M. Wallace for Congressman
 in Second District.


 Saturday afternoon in City hall, the
 delegates to the democratic state con
 vention nominated George M. Wal
 lace of New Haven as candidate for
 congressman by vote of 49 to 33,
 Charles Anderson, also of New Ha-
 ven, being the other candidate. MT Wallace accepted the nomination in
 speech which showed that he is
 alive to the needs of the people and
 possesses the courage and ability to
 make a fight for them. His remarks were received with great enthusiasm. and the manner of his delivery
 proved, as the delegate from Nauga-
 tuck said in seconding his nomina- tion, that ne not only knows how to
 represent the people creditably. but that he knows how to get elected. All
 the speeches both before and after the nomination were we'll tempered, not word being said against the per sonal integrity 0f either aspirant for
 the office.
 |n During the meeting the lfolhYihK resolutions were unanimously adopt ed:
 We, the democrats of the second congressional district in convention assembled. do hereby reafirm our loyalty to the principles of the demo- cratic party.
 We pledge our support to the prin- ciples enunciated in, the platform adopted by the state convention and we heartily commend the nomina- tions made by that body.
 The soundness of the view, ad- yanced by that great commoner. Will liam ]. Bryan, has been demonstrated by the legislature enacted at the last session of congress. And we heartily Indorse the views. We commend to the suffrages of the voters of the dis trict the nominee of the convention. The democratic town convention will meet this evening for the pur- pose of nominating candidate for representative in place of Attorney
 H. w. Minor. who declined to run. It seems to be generally understood that the nomination will fall to Am prose H. Wells. an old line democrat.
 NIT Wells started for Montana few days ago and will be absent for three
 weeks or until about a week before election.
 The republicans will hold their town convention this evening in their headquarters on Bank street. They will nominate two candidates for rep resentatives and also justices of the peace. It was taken for granted this afternoon that the first candidate to be nominated will be Attorney Abner P. Hayes. There is some speculation as to whom his partner will be, but | 1t is said he will be A. |. Goodrich or George A. Boughton. most likely the 1 first named.
 George Hunt of Bishop street is certainly to be pitfed. for he seems | to be the victim of some unscrupu-
 lous politicians. Since he left Vol
 colt four years ago he has been un- able to vote here. though every year he has given his name to some of the deputy registrars. who never failed to promise him faithfully to get his name on the voting lists. But 1t has never got there yet. and Hunt.is won- dering if there is not some way of getting satisfaction from some one. It seems that 90 long as he did not give his name to the registrar and
 takes all other legitimate means to see that his name was put on the list.
 he can do nothing. If he had taken
 these precautions and his name failed
 to get on then he could make 1t warm | for the registrar.
