 DEMOCRATS
tcontinued from Page D

MT. Chairman. fellow delegates and friends; We here had understood par ticularly throughout the city at this time that conditions are ripe now as hardly ever before for a great Demo cratic victory In this city. It seems to be the general concensus of opinion whether far or near that this fall the Democratic party is almost certain to roll up a victory and a majority as 1t used to be in the old days. But cou- pied with this suggestion Is the eau ton that dependent upon what action we take here tonight Is the ultimate success or failure oT the Democratic party at the polls. It behooves us therefore to consider carefully whom we place in nomination this evening to head the ticket. for it is to the head of the ticket that most people look. Tt goes without say ng, my friends, that the high office of mayor of the city of Bridgeport calls for unusual qualities and qualifications To be g competent mayor of such a large and important city is duty which calls for the. exercise of great skill, judg- ment and discretion, undoubted hon esty and integrity in every sense of the word.
 '.I have in mind this evening the name of a man as candidate who has served the city well and faithfully for a long term of years to the complete satisfaction of his constituents. He has shown, on many times and in many places that he is a, large vote getter, that he not only collects the votes of his party but in his own district, time and time again, he has succeeded in getting a, large independent vote. Such a man is valuable asset. Hbr years he served the city in non-paying ar duous and time-taking office. His scr vices often make me think Of the late Judge HalIen who served for years for no reward on the board of education faithfully and capably.
 '-I say, for this high office we must have a man who is capable and com potent and above all honest and with an intimate knowledge of the work of the city and it's affairs. The conduct Of the office of mayor is a business and requires a Knowledge of all the com ponent parts of the duties that it in wolves.
 With this in mind have pleasure in naming the Hon. Daniel P. Walker of the Fourth district, as my candidate for nomination for mayor
