nominated as the democratic can

came the first democratic governor
in 16 years, the first one since the
late Simeon E. Baldwin.
"That same cultured gentleman
was elected in 1880 and he was
again nominated in this building In
1882 and in 1894 and was elected In
each OF the following elections and
has served the people Of this state
as an outstanding governor.
IT have found him to be a most
conscientious, Industrious fortnight
and honorable gentleman and
statesman. At all times he has been
above cheap and petty politics and
has been intent upon and engaged
In one pursuit, namely: that OF CIV
ing to the people Of this state the
most humane and efficient admin
istration.
HE has been one OF the outstand-
ing governors Of this entire coun-
try. He is revered by the people Of
his party and respected by all OF the
people of this state"
DAILY compared the governor with
the republican nominee, Arthur M.
Brown, Jewett City, chosen at yes
terday's convention.
1.-THE republican party" he OBJ
served, has nominated honorable
and distinguished gentlemen to OPP
pose Gov. Cross on three occasions.
The voters of this state have chos-
en- him for their governor three
times Notwithstanding. Again an
honorable and distinguished GENTLE
man has been nominated as the
candidate of the republican party.
It Is my firm belief and conviction
that the people of this state will
elect Gov. Cross for a fourth term. )"
