He started in to say something about those who Judge Stevenson told him that the vote of the convention was unanimous.
 Frank c. Allen and Loren Delbridge got as much applause as the Mayor. MT. Allen was nominated for Tax Col lector without opposition.

 PLATFORM.
 The following is the Republican party platform:
 The Republican party of the city of Bridgeport, in convention assembled, view with satisfaction the development of the city under Republican admins tration, the equalization of taxes, the Improvements in the departments of streets, police charities and fire. the furth eraI1ce of economical methods of construction, and the business like management of city administration.
 The policy of municipal repair and paving of streets has been of such marked economical advantage to the city that the party pledges itself to it's continuance.
 The assessment of taxes under the block system furthered by the past administration resulting in equaliza- tion of taxes will be continued and developed as rapidly as is possible with care and exactness.
 We pledge ourselves to maintain as low a tax rate as is consistent with pal departments and making of neces- sary public improvements.
 We pledge ourselves to develop the city along all proper lines as rapidly as a business administration will per- mit
 We pledge ourselves to perfect and maintain safe and convenient means of communication between the differ ent parts of the city by the improve ment of it's streets and bridges.
 We favor development of our school system until there shall be a desk for every child of school age.
 Recognizing that the fire and police departments have been brought to a higher state of efficiency under the administration of the Republican party than ever before, we pledge ourselves to a continuance of the policy which has resulted in the present high stan dard.
 To the care for the poor of the city, to properly house and care for the needy sick and to protect the public health by proper administration of the sanitary laws,s including particu- Iarly those recently enacted with ref erence to tuberculosis, are duties in Cumbent upon the city, and we recOg- nize and accept the responsibility of such duties and will perform the same in such manner as will afford the nec- essary relief.
 The continuance of a proper conduct of the affairs of the city so that its rights shall be preserved, its income economically administered. and the lives, health and property of it's citi- zens protected is promised.
 It requires no pledge to assure the people of the continuance under Republican administration of an ef- fective and impartial enforcement of law.
 We believe that all these things can be more certainly and surely accom- plished by the continuance of Repub- lican administration of city affairs and ask our citizens irrespective of party to vote at the November cleo tion for Henry Lee, the Republican candidate for Mayor, and for his col leagues on the ticket
