L
F. Kelly was sent out to find the candi-

Cassin. Mayor Baldwin was introduced
amid great applause. He said:
"Mr Chairman and Gentlemen: [ am
deeply grateful for this expression of
your confidence in me. I fear that I
might be misunderstood by allowing my
personal feelings to stand in the way of
H. to hat -,D1>n
bly, never have had a problem in bust
ness that 1 have given more thought
than the one that now confronts me.
After careful consideration I have de-
cided to take up the burden which you
ask me to bear. l believe in the. demo-
cratic party. l believe that good work
and good records are two of the things
| that bring success. Locally l believe in
good roads. If you vote for me, as I
hope you will, I want to have you
understand that you are voting for good
in the past fifteen years over $500, 900
has been spent on roads, and
except for the paving, they are no bet
| ter now than they were then. Much of
this great amount of money was thrown
away because the work was not well
| done. believe that for twenty years
we have made great mistake in not re-
vising the tax list. 1t is not right for a
| man with a home worth $1,000 to be
taxed at the rate of 50 1000, while his
| neighbor with property worth $500, 900
propose to revise. Waterbury is now a
city and it may be made tempting
| home, by public Improvements and re-
| duction of taxation. 1t is possible to
make a record for the democratic party
so strong that after the primaries are
held there will not be the slightest doubt
as to the result of the election, whether
| the nominees be Irish, French, German
| or American.
Mayor Baldwin was followed by City
Clerk Kilduff, who spoke in a highly
complimentary nature of the mayor.
| The other candidates present were also
| called upon and expressed thanks at
| being honOred and hoped that the ticket
| would be successful.
| James F. Knox, chief ranger of Court
| Stephen J. Meany, A. o. F. of A., is not
| the candidate for school clerk on the re-
publican ticket, whose name is James A.
Knox.
| The town convention reconvened last
night to fill vacancies on the ticket
| Christian Hauser declined the nomina.
ton for town treasurer and George
l
was named for school visitor and Simon
| Brown for constable.
The North End First Ward Democratic
