 One member wrote that he would not only waive the mileage and per diem, but he would also waive the Magma Charta and Declaration of In- denendence if that would give Wom= en the right to vote at the coming election.
 National Chairman Cummings was rcefved with tumuHous applause when he was introduced by Chairman Fitzgerald for temporary chairman and was designated as the faEorIte son Of Connecticut. The keynote speech of Chairman Cummings was inc most eloquent and convincing that has been delivered at a political con- 1 veution in this state for many years.
 He was constantly interrupted by i applause which in many cases lasted for several minutes.
 The speaker punCtuated his many telling points with graceful gestures. and during the hour and half that it took, did not once consult his notes.
 He spoke of his pleasure at being able to meet so many old friends and Democratic warriors who had for years carried on the political battle in this state.
 If the people of Connecticut had elecfed SpeHacy governor instead of Hoicornb' at the last election, said the i speaker, there would now be no queS- 1 ton of calling a, special session of the legislature and if you had elected : United States senator, whom modesty prevents me from naming, the Susan B. Anthony amendment would have been passed in the United States sen ate in time for the regular session 1 to act on it.
 Senator Brandegee speaking at i the recent Republican convention took up most of his time apologizing | hi iT1eyf and the Chifds labor bill s ''Brandegee did not vote for the suffrage amendment as he was afraid of what the women of the state would do to him if they could get a crack at him.
