Senate Concurs with House In Electing Republicans
 As County Commissioners
(Contiued from Page II

Senators Mahan and Spellacy elo- Quently advocated the election of MT. MulVlhill on the ground that Fairfield county having elected a Democratic majority in the legislature is entitled to a minority member of the board.
 Senator Donovan of Norwalk said that he proposed to vote 'No' on the question at issue on the ground that the Democrats had proceeded solely on the spells system; that there had been no regularly convened caucus of the Fairfield county Democrats called for the purpose of nominating a candidate for county commissioner, and finally because he considered the whose message advocated the election of county commissioners by the peo- pie.
 Senator McNeil replied that MT. Mulvihiii was the unanimous choice of all the Democrats who attended and that his candidacy was one which appealed not only to the Democrats of the county but to all who believed in the principle of majority rule
 He said that Bridgeport is the sec- ond city in Connecticut and it's needs are so many in view of the fact that the great proportion of the business of the county board is done in that city, it should contain as a member one who knows the needs of the city.
 Senator Mahan warned the Repub- licans that while they had the power to deprive the minority of their place they should hesitate before doing it, especially in view of the general con- demnation upon the part of the people of Republican practices of this sort in the past.
 He said that no fair minded Senator could conscientiously refuse to SUD- port the candidacy of Denis Mulvihill the admitted choice of a majority ol all the Senators and Representatives elected by the people of Fairfield county.
 There was further debate pro and con and Senator McNeil asked for a roll-call vote. The vote stood 10 for Mulvihi1l and 20 against. The Senate then concurred with the House in electing commissioners Pease and Brophy and all of the other Republi- can candidates for county commissions CT throughout the State.
 The Democratic absentees were Sen ators Pierce of Hartford, Paddock of Bridgeport and Foster of Stamford.
