BY ACCLAMATION 
(Continued from Page 1, 2d column. ) 
start one of Mr. Shaw’s stanchest 
supporters, Mr. Shaw’s name was pre- 
sented and in another enthusiastic 
speech the nomination was seconded 
by Fred W. Tibbetts of Gloucester, 
after which the nomination was made 
unanimous by acclamation, every dele- 
gate rising when the question was 
put, and giving three rousing cheers 
for the Manchester man. 
JAMES F. SHAW. 
The convention lacked the least 
symptom of the excitement which 
very often prevails, everything being 
~ Shaw from start to finish. 
George K. Knowlton of Hamilton 
called the convention to order and the 
call was read by Cornelius F. Haley 
of Rowley. The committee on cred- 
entials, composed of G. B. Creaton of 
Newburyport, J. B. Pickett of Wen- 
ham, Aaron Cogswell of Essex, D. C. 
' Smith of Hamilton and Chas. O. 
Bailey of Newbury reported the con- 
vention entitled to 43 votes. There 
were two lacking from Gloucester and 
one from Rockport, which vacancies 
were filled. 
Edward G. Moody of Newburyport 
was chosen chairman and Mr. Haley 
of Rowley, clerk. Then followed the 
nomination of the candidates, after 
which Mr. Shaw was escorted to the 
hall by a committee composed of 
Mayor Houston of Newburyport, Mr. 
Willmonton of Manchester and Mr. 
Tibbetts of Gloucester. After a rous- 
ing reception, Mr. Shaw made a few 
well pointed remarks, and spoke at 
length on his plans if elected. 
Geo. S. Sinnicks of Manchester 
was elected on the district committee. 
C. Homer Barrett of Gloucester was 
elected a member of the State Central 
committee. 
After the convention, dinner was 
served to the delegates, through the 
invitation of Mr. Shaw, at the Aga- 
wam house. 
Manchester’s representation at the 
convention consisted of Messrs. Sin- 
nicks, Willmonton, Howe and Floyd. 
Gloucester sent up three car loads and 
a drum corps. The Ipswich band was 
also brought into use for the occasion. 
Mr.Willmonton’s nominating speech 
follows : 
« My. Chairman and Gentlemen: It 
is so seldom that Manchester, the 
little town that nestles by the sea on 
the eastern border of this district, has 
the privilege of naming the candidate 
for senatorial honors, that I consider 
it a personal privilege to place in 
nomination a Manchester man at this 
time. I consider that I am twice 
privileged to place in nomination a 
man who is in every way eminently 
fitted to represent this district with 
honor to himself and credit to the 
county and to the commonwealth; a 
man of the people, a man for the peo- 
ple, and yet a man representing great 
business interests—a combination that 
is extremely difficult to find in these 
days of greed and graft; a man who 
has built his own business from small 
beginnings, little by little, and has 
added to and expanded it, until today 
it stands first and foremost among 
the business interests of its kind in 
the country. 
“And why? and why? gentlemen. 
It is because he posesses that indom- 
itable force of will and energy that 
enables him to surmount every obsta- 
cle and overcome every difficulty that 
besets his path. A man who, when 
he starts to accomplish anything, 
possesses the ability to ‘get there ;’ 
a man who emphasizes that attribute 
that we admire so much in our presi- 
dent, ‘the strenuous.’ 
«And, gentlemen, if our candidate 
has succeeded in making a few more 
dollars than some of the rest of us, it 
simply convinces me that he is just 
the kind of a man that I should like 
to be able to employ to run my own 
business, and a man we can well afford 
to intrust with the business of the 
commonwealth. 
“For, gentlemen, he has not made 
his money by cornering wheat, corn 
or beef, and made the masses of com- 
mon people pay more for the necessi- 
ties of life than they were worth. He 
has not been in control of the oil 
fields and had his hand upon the lever 
that ground two or three cents more 
per gallon out of the common people 
for oil in order that he might endow a 
university, pay a missionary debt or 
enrich himself. 
‘¢ Gentlemen, our candidate has been 
a man who has produced something ; 
he is a man who has created wealth ; 
he is a public benefactor, a man who 
has caused two grains of wheat to 
grow where only one grew before ; an 
employer of labor who never had a 
strike or any kind of difficulty with 
his employees. 
‘‘He has girded this commonwealth 
from end to end with railways, open- 
ing up vast tracks of land for develop- 
ment, bringing taxable property and 
employment to many districts that 
were fast going to seed, bringing the 
isolated inhabitants of those back 
country markets transportation facili- 
ties and neighbors. 
‘‘ He is a man who is in tonch with 
the wants and needs of all classes ; 
who knows what the laborer wants for 
his dinner-pail, and what the business 
interests require to be able to employ 
the laborer with the dinner-pail. 
“ And, gentlemen, while I am from 
the ranks of the toiler myself, and 
while we want the interest of the 
laboring man protected in every possi- 
ble way, we must not overlook the 
fact that in all justice and equity the 
business interests are entitled to a fair 
and legitimate return for the money, 
the brains and the sleepless nights 
they have invested, and we must not 
forget that there can be no true in- 
dustrial prosperity in this country or 
any other without absolute co-opera- 
tion of capital and labor. 
‘*And so, gentlemen, I repeat that 
in our candidate we have a man who 
knows what the laborer wants for his 
dinner-pail and what the business in- 
terests require to be able to employ 
the laborer with the dinner pail. ~ 
“And, gentlemen, in placing our 
candidate before this convention to- 
day, it is with the hope, the antici- 
pation and the prediction that this 
nomination will be but a_ stepping 
stone to a larger sphere of honor to 
him and a larger sphere of usefulness 
to his constituents. 
‘* And now, gentlemen, I take great 
pleasure in presenting this ideal can- 
didate, James F. Shaw of Manchester- 
by-the-Sea.”’ 
Jap-a-lac is quite the thing for touch- 
ing up old furniture, floors, doors, etc. 
Beaton has a full supply on hand. *
