Wallace ". WeICh

Wallace W. Welch, 19S West ave iue whom the Democrats of the First district have selected as their candl- date to sit in the aldermanic chamber after Nov. Sth has served the city before in a like capacity, and well has been that service. His term of service to the city has been for four years, first when he was elected as an alder rnan-at-large and when he was elect ed as alderman from the Second dis trict. Both of his successful elections came under Republican administra- tions, attesting to the faith and inte- gritty which the voters placed in him.
 Candidate Welch is a native son of Connecticut, being born in Cornwall I4itchfield County. He has made his residence in this city for the past two score years and is truly conver- sant with its affairs and prospects NIT. Welch's belief in relation to the gressive lines. He believes in public improvements. that will be improve ments, ibut does not believe in an eX- pensive city. MT. Welch gets his ex- perienoe along this line because of the fact that he is a heavy tax payer, owning considerable valuable real eS- tate.
 MT. Welch ever since he was able to step up to the register and state ssWallece w. Welch," voted the Dem ocratic ticket, which fact is one of his proudest boasts.

and training. During hls school days, MT. Bent was a newsboy turning an honest penny here and there. The greater demand of his life was for a jaw education. He wanted to be q disciple cf Blackstone. This he set cut to get for himself, entering Yale University and working his way through A great deal of the time he waited on table, organizing an eating club. In the summer season he worked IS waiter in the famous Spring Hotel at Block Island, and for a time served as head waiter.
 It was in this school of hard knocks, that Attorney Bent obtained the knowledge that no college can impart, and became not only a Demo- crat, but a progressive Democrat, in sympathy with those smodern social movements which make for the al- deviation of the lot of the masses. While in school, even though most of ais time was taken up with his duties as 6 waiter and in study, he took con- siderable interest in athletics, worked with the football squad of the law echool, played on the basketball team, and otherwise played his part in the life of his alma mater
 Success crowned his achievements when in June, 1905, he was graduat- ed He first came to this city to hang out his shingle. His start here met with success, he being one of the youngest and brightest of the Fairfield County Bar association.
 Since attaining his majority Attor- ley Bent has taken an interest in Democratic politics. He has done eX- ,eIlent work for his party, and has by his voice and pen contributed to the success of recent campaigns. As 2 speaker, he is quiet, direct, force ful and convincing.
 Attorney Bent is not the only mem- per of his family who has made q success in politics. His father is a member of the school committee of ,is district in Norwich, while his ,rother, Francis P. Bent is a mem )cr of the Board Of Aldermen of New fork city, a man high in the coun- 5ils of the New York organization

debator in the institution. His ua- tural bent in this direction gradually brought his mind into close contact with affairs of state, with the resuIr that he has given to the paramount questions of the day much thought and study.
 He has shone more than once upon the public platform. His most not able achievement in this field was four years ago when he made the speech nominating Mayor Charles F. Thayer of Norwich as governor on the Democratic ticket. His address on that occasion demonstrated his worth as an orator.
 His talk. appealed to the hearts of his audience, while his eloouence won him the plaudits of his fellow dele gates and the auditors who packed the auditorium where the convention was held. That the young man had a brilliant political future before him was the prediction of such men ss eX-Governor Waller who heard him in his maiden effort.
 The local Democratic leaders se- Iected him in the Democratic city convention of 1905 to nominate May or Denis Mulvihill and his effort then plainly indicated the talents which make public speakers.
 MT. McNeiPs gift of public speak ing is natural and not acquired. His method of delivery is graceful and he has voice which while lacking nothing in it's carrying effects is pleas ing and capable of the meditation essential to the successful public speaker.
 Socially Mir. McNeil is one of the most popular young men. in the city. He has been honored with the posi- tion of Exalted Ruler of the Bridge port Lodge of Elks, twice with the presidency of the Calumet club, fs ss mem Der of Wowompon tribe, I. Q. F.. M. the Arion Singing Society, Brook lawn Club, Seaside Club, and many other social organizations.

 MT. McNeil comes of Democratic stock. His distinguished father dem onstrated the courage of his convfc- tions fourteen years ago when he stood Loyalty by the Democrs tic par. ty. In those days when few business men of repute could be found to ac- cept nomination to public office be- cause it was deemed a foriorn hope. the elder McNeil became his party's candidate for representative. The younger McNeil in addition to his Knowledge of politics has had q splendid business training. It is the duty of his party associates to see to IL with the Democratic strength of the district he is destined to represent in the senate of the next general as- sembly.
