Democrats and others who have

influence in the price of meat, coal.
wood and other things should take no
stock in what they hear about reform
coming from those who have brought
on these conditions. The working
peope of Waterbury and the business
men should Join. hands tomorrow to
save themselves from q repetition Of
what has happened this fall in the
coal fields, case which would be on
to-day had it not been for the attitude
of the democrats of New York, which
brought the coal kings to their senses.
Every man. no matter whether he runs
factory or works in one, should take
this matter home to himself and try
and picture what would have happened
todWaterbury between now and next
spring Il something hadn't turned up
to scare the coal barons into putting
the miners to work.
While the republican party did
nothing worse than crush the laboring
people the bosses didn't hesitate to
help them out and in consequence
they generally lent a hand by posting
republican campaign literature in the
shops and talking to the help. This
year the trusts went a step further
than ever before and reached for the
Threats of the BOSSES That was the
last straw and on this account you
don't hear anything about politics in
the factories this fall. The factories
have had all they want of the trusts.
The republican candidates for Office
kept in the background this year, so
much so that none of them dared say
a word about politics where anybody
on the other side could get hold of it.
Not so with the democrats; they have
gone out among the people and stated
their case in a manner which showed
that they had nothing to conceal. The
electors should keep this in mind
when they go to the polls and vote for
those who have ideas of their own in

bosses come around and outline pol
Icy for them,
The last rally of the campaign will
be held by the democrats tonight in
City hail. The speakers will be Gov
ernOr Johnson of Alabama, the Hon
Noble E. Pierce of Bristol, candidate
for attorney general, and James Mark
Sullivan of New Haven. DR. John f.
Hayes will preside. A list of vice
presidents will be read at the meet
ing and the management requests each
to take seat on the platform as his
name is announced. The meeting
should be largely attended. People
who desire to know something about
national, state and local legislation
will hear these subjects treated in
mastery manner and will learn some
things which will enable them to use
the franchise for the best interests Of
all.
Does any voter in Waterbury won
der why '.Ab'' Durham, the republican
candidate for county sheriff, who took
such an unpopular position against
labor during the big strike in Ansonia,
is making such a tremendous effort to
hold onto his position at this election?
If so, all he had to do is to inquire into
the manner Of the employment of the
Durham family. In the first place
Sab himself is the high sheriff and of
course gets fat salary. His daughter
he has made matron of the jail at a
salary of $50 per month. His son-in-
law is clerk at $50 per month and his
wife is assistant matron at SIS per
month. Voters, how is that for an ex-
ample of a republican office-holding
family for you? And besides the above
salaries the Dunhams get their living
expenses from the county. Voters, do
you want to continue this thing any
longer? IF not, vote for Mr. Tom1inson
for sheriff tomorrow.
HE. CAN FILL THE BILL.
He's the cleverest and squarest in the
bunch,
And the welfare of the city is his
