The state convention

The state Republican Convention in Connecticut adopted a resolution supporting President Roosevelt for renomination and named its delegates to the National Convention in Chicago. The fact that the president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, Charles S. Mellen, and two directors, Charles F. Brooker and Edwin Milner, were named delegates proves that not all railroad interests are against Roosevelt.

Platt’s address

Platt’s address

In his speech as temporary chairman of the Republican state convention in Connecticut, Senator Orville Hitchcock Platt reviews and praises the accomplishments of the Republican party during the last three terms. Platt also praises President Roosevelt, and vice-presidential nominee Charles W. Fairbanks, and believes that the Democrats’ attempts to make personal attacks on Roosevelt’s character will not be effective, as Roosevelt is a good, strong leader who was nominated by acclamation.
