Waterbury Democrat., 1902-08-23

but will come in strong on small towns There is a story afieat that even if Tomlinson should get the delegates, that Registrar Foley is not in favor Of his nomination, and that he will turn the entire New Haven delegation to an other man. 1t will be some one new, some one who has not been men tioned.s'
 In accordance with a vote passed at the meeting of Strobel democrats in the city court room Thursday night. meetings were held in the several wards last night, but the number that showed up was so small that it was out of the question to make up tickets, and in order to put decent appearing face on things it was given out that the names of the men on the tickets would not be given to the public until Monday. Others got out of it by ap- pointing committees to prepare tickets The fifth ward is the only place where ticket is said to have been made out and, curiously enough this is said to be a, pronounced aflti-iabor ticket. There must be some mistake about this, for the names of some of the par ties who are said to be honored with places on it never would stand for anything of the kind. supposing the man in whose interest the meeting was held owned all the "barrels" in town.
 To a man up a tree, says New Ha- ven correspondent of the Hartford Times, if the democrats took up an en. tirely new man for county sheriff, dis carding Tomlinson, Flahavan, Char ters and Strobel, there would be no question about democratic victory in the shrieyalty contest. It was hinted today that may be McGann and Foley, and those who are leading the opposi- tion to Tomlinson, would come tOgeth- CT and pick out compromise candl- date that would have the hearty sup port of all the warning factions. There is no doubt that if Tomlinson gets the nomination he will be knifed more or less at the polls. It is also true that under existing circumstances if the anti Tomlinson element should at the last moment step in and capture the county convention. which isn't at all likely, there might be a big fishing party composed entirely of Tomlinson men. who would take trip down the Sound on election day. starting before 6 a. m. and not returning until after : D. m.
 The published statement in this mornings paper that at a meeting of the Economic league last night there was quite feeling against Charters is absolutely false. As 9 matter of fact there was no such meeting held. The committees from the various wards did meet and compared notes and feel quite confident of winning Monday. There will be a ticket rep resenting the league in every ward and labor men should not be fooled by ambiguous and deceitful speeches made with but one purpose-to alien ate certain following from the Gar penter Mayor" Should Mayor Char. ters carry Waterbury he will prob ably go into the convention with at least 30 votes pledged to his support. These men would likely hold the bal ance of power and persistency on their part would in the end carry enough votes from the opposition to elect him. Once nominated he would find all classes hocking to his standard to down the man who created such dis favor during the strike last year.
 Now that the American has given LID printing alleged political interviews, the Republican has taken up the un- Journalistic business of trying to de- feat a democratic candidate by misrep-t resentation. The two Journals above mentioned are throwing fits because the Democrat is not supporting Stro. bel, and probably if this paper was in favor of Strobel these organs would probably be throwing dirty water in his face. This mornings issue of the Republican, among other things, said: "Strobel has too many friends in this organization to stand for the league plugging the game of corporation man when we have an independent candidate right here in Waterbury, who is more of friend to the laboring man than Tomlinson is or ever will be-" The less said about corporations in connection with Strobel's canvass the better, for he knows something about the silk stocking fellows that run these corporations, and while he has power" to move and flight" to see he will not go back on them. Stro4 bells lieutenants will have to call off these rabid reporters who, in an en- deayor to help him, are only hurting his cause. Referring to the article in the American few days ago, one of Strobers right-hand men said the man who wrote it was "a d-d fool" He will be apt to say that the man who wrote the alleged interview in this mornings Republican is another with a big. big D. The men of the Econom- ic league should not be taken in by such stuff. Charters is still in the race, and he isn't talking about throwing his strength to Tomlinson or Strobel or any other man.
