MISS KATHERINE MEADE,

 in the General Assembly by the rep | resentative convention held in Demo | cratic headquarters, last night. The
 name of MT. Bent was placed in nom1- i nation by John M Sears of the First l district, who said he had known MT | Bent many years as loyal party | worker, that he was a young man o1 advanced ideas, whose principles and progressiveness made him an ideal can didate to represent the city Of Bridge port in the Legislature.
 Sigmund Hirschberg, a Democrat of 26 years standing in the party, nom1-
 mated MT. Meltzer, whom he said he had known for years and who was a man the Democrats of Bridgeport had become thoroughly acquainted with
 because of his persistent championships
 of the principles of Democracy and the
 issues of vital importance to the Amer
 ican people.

 who had been elected chairman of the
 convention, asked if there were fur
 ther nominations. There being none,
 Alderman P H. Brady of the Eighth
 district moved that the secretary be
 instructed to cast one ballot for both
 candidates The motion was unan1-
 mOusly adopted.
 Alderman Brady and Delegates Sears and Birschberg were made commit

 Pending the absence of the commit tee the convention proceeded to nom mate 12 candidates for justices of the peace After the nominations were closed Secretary Daniel B. Walsh was instructed to cast one ballot for the Bent, Bernard Heating, Jr-, Stephen S. Siksay, Joshua Meltzer, George kane Hugh Lavery, Henry J. Waters, Char les F. Greene. George F.

BASEBALL

There certainly is some class to the Washington team now that Jimmy McA1eer has got his young blood in hand. Milan, the center fielder, is just as fine asba1 player as Cobb, though perhaps there may b ca bit more class to Tyrus. Young Cunningham, the new mid-statfon man of the McAIeer outfit, is surely some player. He came from New England and he promises to more than hold his own in fast com pany. There are two outcasts on the Washington team, Elberfe1d, formerly of the Yankees. and .Schafer, the erst- while Detroiter. Both are playing great ball these days. Then there is our old friend and former Connecticut Leaguer, Doc Reis1ing. It was Doc who took a championship from us in with Bristol for the rag.
