Kopplenann Announces
 Senatorial Candidacy

the basic principles of the new deal indelibly and permanently woven into the American fabric of government.
 The majority of Democrats in Connecticut want to vote for the new deal this fall. They want candidates upon whom they can depend to give the president their sincere support.
 Equally important, Connecticut voters want to select their own candidates for office on past per- formance, and will refuse to have machine candidates palmed off on them.
 Many people and many groups publicly and privately have asked me to seek the Democratic nomin -ation for United States senator.
 l have studied the political sit- uation in the state closely. I am confident I can win the nomina- ton.

 need only to place before you my lifetime record.
 Today the people Of Connecti- cut cannot be humbugged by lip service. Connecticut voters know how to separate the loyal from the dislcyal, the new dealers from from the double dealers.
 To friends who have been work ing to ascertain sentiment. I give my gratitude and thanks for loy- ally and devotion to our common cause.
 To all others who would perpct- uate Democracy in America through the new deal-to all who would insure social and economic happi- ness for all---I extend hearty and cordial invitation to join my camp.

Most Democrats have kept the faith. Twice at elections since 1882 the American people have given us the green light" instruct ing us to continue our advance.
 We have met obstacles. Many times we have been halted tenn porarily.
 Today we are again facing the enemy. We are fighting against a retreat. We are fighting to ad- vance the cause of human welfare and security.
 The responsibility for Americas progress today rests on the new deal. Not since the Civil war have such serious and important issues created so distinct political cleavage.
 Because of the clash of opinions, some Republicans have given us their support, and some Democrats have given comfort to Republican part; leaders.
 That is why in the past two years in congress, legislation, spon- sorcd by our Democratic adminis- tration, has been bitterly opposed by some Democrats who, in their hearts, are not with us. They would prefer to return the Demo- cratic party to the status of twin ship with the Republican party.

When the Democratic state cen- tral committee meets tonight at Hartford major consideration Is expected to be the choosing of a site for the state conventions. AL though State Chairman J. Francis Smith, of Waterbury, feels that the general sentiment is for continu- ance of meeting at Eastern Point, some objections have been raised by committee members.
 With some members claiming that the site is lucky, because 1t was at Hotel Griswold that Cover nor Wilbur L. Cross first was nom- mated eight years ago, has been most successful since a standard bearer of the party. there are oth- CTS who point to the increase in the number of delegates this year, claim that the New London con- vention facilities are bound to prove inadequate"
 Condition Compared
 Secretary of the State Committee Joseph F. Mulville said today that the New London Ste has been par ticularly suitable because the quar- ters of the delegates and the con- vention hall are in the same build ing. If the convention were held in Hartford, New Haven, or Bridge port, the delegates would be quar- tered in various hotels, the conven- ton hall matter of inconvenience to some.
 Waterbury is not under con- sideration. 1t developed, because of inadequate facilities to handle the more than HOO delegates who will attend this year. The number Of delegates from Waterbury and most cities in the state will be increased about 25 per cent, due to the over whelming majorities these cities gave the Democratic ticket two years ago.
