Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-10-03

|
 these alone l ask you to vote for me next Monday, believing that will give 1 a capable and economical and just administration. Here he made a few remarks about the condition of things that prevailed during the past few months and then he said: eff you have l good cause stick to it mAnfully and honestly and you will be successful in the end I am not in sympathy with l lawlessness or violence. None of us are. We all desire peace and tranquil l ity, but the editorials that have ap- peared in the Waterbury Republican during the past week are calculated to stir up the people and cause more strife and bitterness than any other cause that I know of
 l "If elected by best endeavors will be directed toward lowering taxation and developing the parks that have been donated us and getting back for 1 the people some of the rights and uses to which they are entitled from public utilities If I am elected Monday can honestly say that the editorials which have appeared in the Republi- can during the week helped to elect me"
 MT Lynch then challenged Mir Ell l ton to appear with him on any plat l form in the city and to ask if he en- dorses those editorials, and he asked John P. Kellogg, chairman of the re publican town committee, if he ap- proved of them or would he stand by them.
 MT Elton is rich man and a busy man, and I ask, you gentlemen, if elected, is it to the city of Waterbury, which would pay him a few thousand l dollars salary, or to the big factory and mills of the Waterbury Brass Go, that pay him millions, he would give his time Naturally he will give his attention to the factory in order that he may double his dividends.
 l Gentlemen, without buying up pa pers or editorials, I am before you the candidate on the regular demo cratic ticket for your suffrage Monda+s must leave it to the people to decide between MT Elton and myself without any other aid than my meritMa The l opposite side has unlimited money at their disposal. I wish we had it, too.' i (Laughter.)
 During the past week we have been treated to some samples of yell low journalism so that we need go to New York no more for it. would like to ask MT Elton if he approves of the editorials which have appeared in the Republican. If he does, will you elect him?'
 A voice in the crowd shouted, Not by long shot" Daughter and cheers).
 Such journalism may go where the writers of it came from, but it will not go here"
 l A voice, You bet. it, won't" Cheers and laughter).
 l tsThey are recent importations here anyway, yet they are the men who are criticising the democratic party to- day.
 I 'AWe want a mayor who gives his time and his attention to the city's in < terests. The other is represented by {, man worth millions, the representa- l tive of a big trust. It is a campaign iof education with the democrats. It lis campaign of violence, libel and islander, dirt and mud-throwing on the .I side of the republicans"
 I Mr Lynch then told the story of the Roman mother Cornelia who told her son that she did not wish to go down in history as the wife of her husband, but as the mother of the Gracos. And she told her sons to go out into the world and make reputation indepen- dent of that of their father, and to-day in Rome may be seen simple tomb stone bearing the brief legend. Cor nelia, mother of the Gracos."
 l "Gentlemen, I do not ask you to vote for me because I am my fathers son. I ask you to vote for me because I am the candidate of the democratic party and for what I am myself. Get out early Monday morning to vote and don't be like Napoleon, who promised 4 aid to Ireland, but afterward went to i Egypt, and when he was dying on the Island of Elba he said that had he fol- flowed his word and gone to Ireland in I stead of going to Egypt, England
 would not have much power to-day.
 So don't be like Napoleon and cry when it is too late that if you had
 voted the democratic ticket the re-
 publican party would not have the
 power'' j. MT Minor made short speech and
 Attorney Guilfofle said it was of the
 greatest concern for the democratic
 party to be successful Monday at the
 polls "A short time ago." said he,
 "you decided upon having change,
 and you made that change, but a few
 months later you were sorry for hay ing done so. That ought to teach you
 lesson and not to let it happen again" He advised everyone to vote
 early, for by going to the polls late
 one runs a chance Of being counted
 out, In democratic wards the republi-
 cans have a trick, in fact, they have
 hundreds of them: but their favorise
 one when the closing hour is near is to block the approaches to the polls
 and thereby delay those who are late.
 Thus they succeed in keeping out
 many men who would have voted the democratic ticket. He reminded the audience to be careful and vote the
 straight ticket, for there is the board
 of education to be elected. a board of
 safety to be appointed, besides other
 boards. School teachers and janitore
 are to be taken care of and it is of the
 most obvious concern to every demo \ l. 4a ,.I. h T. d
