 Col. T. J. Murphy caught the hurnor of the large crowd in attendance when he said that he had followed the elo- quent. flowing address of our friend Lavery from the Tenth district. but
 as I listened to what he said it oc- cured to me that these same gentle men at the last city convention held in this hall gave us the same thing and there was nothing for us to do what men we had. what type of men they were who represented the minor ity at that time, they weren't taken ed in this city something like 24 years and look back on the conventions I can't recall but that this motion simply that we are going to give them tonight what they gave us last

 Tn the annals of Democracy in Bridgeport I have never known of such unprepresentative, undemocratic, unmanly acts as were committed in the room below The actions of those delegation chairmen are unparalled in the history of our party in this city and I am dumbfounded. We have heard much of the purity league but never have we witnessed chairmen of the district delegations go into retire ment, pull out typewriter lists from their pockets and proceed to name the various convention delegates from districts in this city which po11ed 1900 votes at the primaries. My district and others were not for Lynn w. Will son and the so-called anti-machine CTS of our district however to come to this convention and represent
 MT. Cu1linan then spoke He said: 1 +Mr. Chairman and fellow delegates, 1 trouble has arisen over the choice of vention. The man who has been sup l ported by the Democracy of Bridge port during the two years past, has l been made an issue in this contest | This year he went the stump and | in a fairly fought primary was given | a vote which sent majority of his delegates to this convention The con- are unusual Though a | warm campaign was waged against stantial majority. Now I ask in all fairness why let a minority come in- to this convention and defeat the vote of the majority of voters. The Demo crats of Bridgeport have spoken and we wouldn't be doing our duty in sending to the congressional conven- ton, men who are not committed to | the nomination of Lynn W. Wilson It is our duty to see that he does have a. majority in that convention be- cause the majority of Democratic vot- CTS decided that way
 The question was called for and the delegates voted upon the amendment which sought to substitute names de- sired by the minority. The amend ment was lost 34 to 26 Great ap-
