maries Charters Chances Here.
In Naugatuck the campaign liar is
/ very active against Charters and for
Strobel. Naugatuck has always been
the banner labor town in the state.
The good old days of the knights of
Labor are still in the minds OF many
and their neighbOrs are wondering il
they will stick by those old principles
which are being revivified throughout
! the whole state. Ii they do, Nauga-
tuck will send solid delegation to the
convention for Charters. If Mr. Ken
nedy keeps his hands off the town will
send Charters delegates, and why he
should interfere on behalf of Strobel,
whose calibre of democracy and whose
brand of politics he is on record as de-.
crying and denouncing, is what puzzles
his fellow toWnSmen. Versatile as Mr.
Kennedy is, the democrats not only of
Naugatuck but of the whole valley,
wherever he has been heard on the
stump, are wondering how he can con-
sistently stick up for Strobel and go
back on the man of his own natural
choice, his own client, Charters. Pro-
ductive as politics is always of won
ders, this campaign so far stands with
out comparison in this respect. But
to the liar above referred to. He says
that Charters is in the field merely to.
help Tomlinson, and that he is only
looking for deputyship. This is the
biggest lie of the lot in circulation. Mr.
Charters informed Democrat reporter
few days ago that he was in the race
for himself and the principles he
stands by, and that lie elected he will
work at his trade one day in the week
or the month. or whatever time the
trade union of which he is member
demands, In order that he may not lose
membership. He says he has been a
member of that union for twenty years
and because of his temporary elevation
to public Office he shall not forget the
principles of his trade or it's union. The
people may depend upon Charters as an
honest working man, worthy in every
respect of their votes.
