 William J. Brennan of New London made the nomination of Sheriff Brown, speaking as he did so of his belief that this was going to be a republi- can year. for after two years of dem ocratic rule the people are dissatisfied. Democratic rule has failed to bring prosperity and business conditions have grown bad while they have been in power. They will blame it on the foreign war and will look upon ex- cuse to explain their failures, but things were bad before the war came The democrats promised great things with change. The change had come but it has been @ change for the worse
 Mir. Brennan said that the strong est possible candidates should now be nominated by the republicans and that Sheriff Brown was in that class, for he has ably filled the position, which is one that requires qualities that Sheriff Brown has shown that he pos sesses,
 He said he had the pleasure ten years ago while in the senate to place before the body the name of Sidney A. Brown as a candidate to fill the Va cancy caused by the death of George O. Jackson, and again the pleasure al yht a n n.11 70 the nomination again and now he would again present the name of Sid ney A. Brown before the convention for the nomination of sheriff for New London county.
