Baldwin, declares that tue party PIo1H- ises in state and national have been redeemed in behalf of the people and asks for support of the party in the elections which are approaching.
 Convention Long and Interesting.
 The convention was a long one and of intense interest throughout. The atmosphere was of midsummer sultri- ness. and for hours many delegates sat in their shirt sleeves. At times the Situations were dramatic and often practically every delegate sat firm in his seat. scarcely making sound, waiting for what would happen next. Throughout the roll call on the sena- tarship few delegates left the hah and scores of them checked the pref erences as names were responded to. In few conventions of the party were 50 many ready to make nominating or seconding speeches, and only occasion ally in the late afternoon did the an- dierace show disposition to urge the speakers to be br1ef.
 Little Bitterness in Debate.
 There was very little bitterness shown in the heat of debate, and only two or three times did Chairman Ken- nedy feel called upon to demand fair play for the man on the floor. Time and again references to President Wil- son and Governor Baldwin brought the convention to it's feet to cheer. and
 
 an ovation. Most of those nominated were escorted to the speakers desk, where they expressed their apprecia- ton of the honor briefly but with en- ergy, and with roseate predictions of the future of the ticket.
 In his speech of acceptance Cover nor Baldwin said:
 Speech of Acceptance,
 Tn the eloquent address of the Bel gian commissioners made on wedries- day to the president. they said that the American people has always dis played it's respect for justice. it's search for progress and an instinctive attachment for the laws of humanity That they have always displayed these characteristics--respect for justice as against privilege, the search for pro- gress as against stagnation or retro gression and an instinctive attach ment for the laws of humanity found- ed on a recognition of the inalienable rights of man is due to the doctrine written down by Thomas Jefferson, first in the Declaration of Indepen- dence and then, 25 years later, in the platform of the democratic party.
 The best guarantee that this char acter of the American people will be steadfastly maintained lies in the re- tatning of democratic congress to uphold the hands of President Will
 T feel very deeply the eonhdenc~ which the democratic party of Con aecttcut has shown in me during tht past four years. Twice they hay
 oninated me for the highest offfc in the gift of the people and twi; the people have put me in it. Two years ago. you named me as the choice of this state for president of the United States and now you have nut me in nomination for the senatc of the United States.
 T am we'll aware that there are
 hose here and those elsewhere (.omc democrats tool who have advocated and would have preferred the choice Of another, but I am confident that now that the convention has spoken. it will be felt that we should all for set the criticisms of nominating cam naigns and unite for the single an6 ole purpose of keeping the democracy of Connecticut and of the United states in continuous possession of the powers which they have on the whole thus far handled so we'll
 This opportunity to seI1d a dem qcratic senator to Washington is the first that has come to the democratic party in Connecticut for thifty-siS long years. It is one that might easily be forfeited by party dissensions. The them and let them pass from memory. It is an opportunity to accomplish something of great importance to tn whole democratic party of the United States. Every vote in the senate in the line of maintaining our great democratic policies counts for some thing. The senate is 8 small body with immense powers No public as- semely in the world is vested with greater. Our senators are makers of laws for half a continent. They are an executive council to pass upon nominations to great office. They are makers of treaties. They may be turned into a court of justice. "In our complex system of govern ment which divides sovereignty be- tween the states and the United States l the senate is the stronghold of the state. It is particularly the stronghold Of the smaller states
 "We in Connecticut belong to a nt- | tie group of states closely connected | by ties of historic association, by mu- 'ual interests. by mutual aspirations No six states in the union are bound ! @gether as closely as New England S things look now the democracy o1 Connecticut have an opportunity--a l real opportunity-to send to the senate l one who will represent the thought oi | he day-the aspirations of the day, as we New England democrats interpre' that thought and understand those as- | pirations.
 If the people of Connecticut rat. | ify the choice you have made of me l as such a representative, I can only say that as I have tried to serve my state as governor and as chief justice so will do my best to serve then in the senate of the United States
