BALDWIN FOR SENATOR.
Hartford Posta

Having won twice with Csovernor Baldwin as their standard bearer there is no ql1esttQn but the majority of Democratic voters of Connectfci1+ fully expect that they will elect him to the United States Senate This be- lief is unquestiona;bly shared by a large number of Independent voters who have the utmost Of respect for the governor and by many Rapubli- cans who have come to regard Demo cratic policies which have been voiced by the governor as preferable to some Republican policies to which Con- necticut has become accustomed in re- cent years
 The result in Maine gives more than merely reasonable grounds for hope of Democratic success in Connecticut and the fact that a strong state ticket has been nominated further strengthens that hope. The supporters of the gov4 ernor's opponent possibly feel the sting Of defeat today, but time is a great healer and long before voting time arrives they will be supporting their party ticket Loyalty. There is no reason to expect a party echism to be the outcome of yesterdays result, but on the contrary reason to believe that the Democratic party is in better shape in Connecticut than before in a generation.
 In many ways the nomination of the governor for the Senate is. logical, for he is actually, as well as in theory I the first citizen of the state and while it was argued that he has had honors aplenty it is also true that by usage of politics it was reasonable to expect his promotion If elected to the Sen ate as he very probably will be. he will bring to it a training seldom, if ever, ezccelled in matters of law and l legislation and a broad and thorough understanding of public questions gen | erally He will be one Of the big ag- 1 ures of the Senate and will wield a l large influence there. His election will 1 be highly satisfactory to Connecticut.

North Tonawanda, N. r., Sept 22- Mary Emery. fourteen. and William Galizca of Detroit, twenty-nine, car ried out suicide pact yesterday. The pact was disclosed in letters left by both.
 -'The only way for us to be happy is to die together and live in heaven to- Eether,' Ga1izca wrote.
 Mary was the daughter of Joseph Emery, a well to do cabinet maker He had no objection to Ga1izca's suit but wanted him to wait until the girl was seventeen years old
 The couple apparently decided last night to die Galizca went to her home esterday dressed in his best and was met by the girl, attired in her finest dress. After embracing his sweetheart, Galizca drew his revolver and fired twice, one bullet entering her temple and the other piercing her heart He fired one shot into his own breast. Fhe girl died instantly and Gahzca was dead in half an hour.

DEMOCRATIC AoHnEvEn1ENr
(New Haven Register. )

It goes without saying that the nomination of Governor Baldwin for senator was the best the democrats could have made.
 Those who know Hon Lyman T. Tingier best are most highly satisfied with his nomination It was a vfc- tory of merit rather than victory of politics. and MT. Tng1er is sincerely to be congratulated that it was so nearly unanimous on the test ballot He is a gentleman of sterling charac- ter, who will. should he be elected, serve the state ably. honestly and with high executive ability and dig nifty.
 MT. Landers nomination. though in a degree sop to the defeated ele- ment, Is the preferment of a man of excellent parts. who would make by experience and natural ability, an ex- ceIlelt presiding officer for the sem ate. One returns to the conviction that the democrats did a. good days work yesterday at Hartford The movement to return the republicans to state power gets comparatively lit tie encouragement fron the proceed ings at Hartford.

 The only real contest of the day was for the United States senator, which was won so easily by Governor Baldwin after a campaign which was conducted with unusual vigor and which overshaa owed all other feat ures.

There had been several other names ] introduced during the preliminary vention was for the prom otion of the 1 present 1ieutenant governor and said so very decisively on the first ballot. Senator Landers was chosen for sec < ond place with much enth husiasrn;
 some very kind words were said in ] his favor, words that will no doubt
 have some influence during the cam 1 paign and which better than all were richly deserved. MT. McDonough,

DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET.
fNew Hayen Union.1

The state ticket which was selected at the Democratic convention yester- day contains the names of well known citizens who will be certain to poll the full strength of the party vote in November In several instances there were gTenemipations. denonstratirlg the confidence which the party has in faithful and deserving office holders. It was splendid days work, indica- tive of the good sense and the un- animity that prevails among the working factors of Dem ocracy to-day in this state. All of which augurs well for the success of the entire Democratic ticket when the decisive test. comes in a few weeks
 Whatever contests developed dur ing the selection of the candidates, were free of all those signs of inter nal strife that are more or less omens of deep-rooted bitterness. There were spontaneous demonstrations of po1iti- cal strength in behalf of this candi- date or the other. But when the result of the decisive ballot was re- vea1ed to the convention, that was the tern1ination instantly of all fur ther indications of contest, and there followed immediately the move to proving to the state electors, if proof were required, that the Democratic delegates were a unit in upholding A1e winner in each event
 From The ers4racIer and tone of Che general comment heard at the completion of the capitol days labor, zkere is reason for making the reas- zsfring staterne- that every man in the party in the state will do his ut most in the work of winning at the polls and that victory will be the re- ward for such united aggressive sem tinent. Of course, it was recogniz- ed and admitted that stupendous eff forts would have to be made to win this year The Republicans of Con- necticut are desperate in their deter imitation. to get control of the state government But the Democratic party of Connecticut was never in better shape with any and all the for midable tactAcs that may be on the

THE DEMOCRATS.
CMeriden paIly Journal.l


 The Democrats have chosen wisely when they nominated Governor Bnld.. win for the Senate as they have se- lected the stron gest man in the party for the honor and that he will make 8 fine showing in the fall campaign there can be no doubt. Governor Baldwin has made splendid reputa- ton during his two terms of office, not only for the legislation that he in- spdred but for what he has killed of.
 As for Lieutenant Governor Tin gier, who heads the state ticket, he has not had much chance to display his abilities, for the lieutenant gover- nor is like a. vice president; only a Roosevelt would be able to do any thing with the position It can be said that his record is clean and that he has done we'll whenever he had the opportunity.
 The convention undoubtedly did it's best and named 8 ticket that will be a big factor in,,the coming campaign.
 While the ticket is a good one, we believe that if 1t is adopted by the voters of the state in November it will be mainly because of the fact that Simeon E. Baldwin at the head of it.

RALpwN FoR sENAroR.
(New Haven unton.l

The nomination of Gov. Baldwin for United States senator by the Democratic state convention, will meet with the hearty and united en- dorsement of the Democracy of Con- necticut for it was a weII-earned vic tory in square, aggressive and hon orable preliminary contest in which vigorous, wholesome campaigning was done on both sides in the sena- toriaI controversy.
 To send the governor to- the Unit ed States senate will be ia tremendous achievement by the Connecticut dem ocracy. It will be done without a doubt. It is in the air, as the say is The people of Connecticut will demonstrate their confidence in their present chief executive by voting him six years in the upper house Of con gress- He will be ennfnentlys worthy of this further evidence Of the faith the electors have in him. and there can be no question on this point in the mind of any student of the pohtt- cal history of Connecticut during the past four years that his Excel1ency has filled the governors office. He is wanted in the senate, a sensible, conservative, loyal upholder for that patriot in the White House. The voters of Connecticut will without question vote to retire, Brandegee, the Republican, to private life, and send Baldwin, the man, the patriotic up holder of the national administration, the wise legislator, the sound think CT, the constructive statesman, to the senate instead. Brandegee, the bonn bastic the brazen, buldozing critic of the President of the United States, has earned his retirement. Bran
 degee's silence in the senate had be- come a record until within the past few months when on the approach of the senatorial contest in Connecticut he found his voice once more, and he
 has been heard in shameful, shame l less and senseless criticism of the I White House statesman. They don't want such a man in the senate any l longer. They want a man of Gov, BaldwinIs helpful stamp.

 It seems to the Times as though the Democratic convention had set tied the political situation to the sat- isfact1on Of every one. The large majority for Governor Baldwin for United States senator seems to please everybody. Ldeutenant-Governor Tin gier's. nomination for governor satis- lied the largest and finest political convention ever held in Connecticut The man about whom speak is 8 well known man who has long been in political Ife,'' said Senator McDou- ough, in naming MT. T1ngier, and I've want leaders known to the people, men In public life and who have occupied public office more than once" And of the lieutenant-governor Mr McDpn- ough said:
 There Is no black spot on his rac- ord, for he has served honorably and faithfully as an executive. He Is a worthy successor to our present wor- thy governor.'
 The nomination Of Senator Landers for heutenant-governor was unanimous Wit roGt a, ballot, the delexates rising and cheering. His name adds strene-th to the ticket. His record as a senator and standing manufacturer ap- peaIed to delegates and swept away all opposition. The nomination for attorney-general went to Senator Mo Donopgh with an enthusiasm seldom witnessed in a. convention His rec ord as leader of the IaA senate was a guarantee of his standing in the party and his popularity with the voters of the state. Phillips. Roberts and Dunn, the present secretary. treasurer and comptroller, were all three placed again upon the ticket, as was just and right.

FOR SENATOR, SIMEON E. BALD
 WIN.
(New York world.)

In nominating for United States Senator, their Governor Simeon E. Baldwin, the Connecticut democrats have served their party by serving the state. No other candidate men toned could have appealed with such force to intelligent voters; in very few states where senators are to be cho- sen this year are me-. Of Governor Baldwin's eminent fitness put for ward by either party.
 Governor Baldwin is "A years old, but recent records of the senate abound in instances of men past that period who have done distinguish ed service. Before being twice elected governor of the state he was chief Justice of it's Supreme court Of errors, and earlier still held many posts of honor and usefulness What lawyers I think of him they showed when they made him president of the American Bar association, 24 years ago. He is ] one of the highest authorities upon law and the development of political institutions.

(New York Evening Post.)
 It is just like Connecticut. which gave Roosevelt in 1912 only half as many votes as 1t gave Taft, to stick to the obsolete convention system. But how are we to explain the re- suits of it's Democratic State Con vention? For the party's candidate for the Senate it chose Gov. Baldwin, and for a platform it selected such blanks one declaring for the short ballot, another favoring the direct primary, and others pledging the par ty, against the Governors wishes, to submit woman suffrage amendment to the State Constitution, and urging legislation, that will cure the free pass evil and eliminate the profes- sionaI lobbyist from legislative pro ceedings" A Progressive primary could hardly do better than thisI Gov.
