Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-10-03

The supporters of the democratic ticket have the opportunity of their lives this year to elect a democratic board of aldermen. It means a whole lot to the party, also. For years the republicans have controlled the alder manic chamber mainly through the laws enacted in a republican legisla- ture. The wards have been divided by republican suggestion and with re- publican methods until it looked i'm possible for the democrats to get con- trol of that board. There is 8 grand opportunity this year if the democrats will only work for it. The working men of the city, both democratic and republican. should see to it that the board is made democratic. There are many appointments to be made and should the republicans gain the as- cendancy there will be little show for a workingman to get any of them.
 The first ward will be battle ground on Monday, for the nominees for aldermen on the democratic ticket are going to make the fight of their lives to land one or two, perhaps the whole three. The nominees are Pat rick Cavanagh, Ernest Miller and An drew J. Kenneally. A vote for them means a vote to oust the> republican ring which has controlled the alder manic chamber for years. Each is we'll and favorably known and the friends of all should see to it that they are elected.
 Tn the second ward nominated on the democratic ticket for aldermen are Peter -Kiersted, John D. Chatf1eld and John Sachsenhauser. The republican majority is conceded in this ward, yet there is suspicion afoat that things may get an upheava1 even in the old republican stronghold. A vote for the three named above means reduction of the republican majority. That means a whole lot to the city.
 There will be another warm contest in the third ward for aldermen. and the democrats have the best chance that was ever presented to them to land the whole ticket Just look at the names of those who are running for aldermen in that ward. Ambrose H. Wells, the well known manufactur- CT of small tubing on the Watertown road. A citizen without a blemish and one of the old line staunch deff7a- crats Just the right kind of man to send into the a1dermanic chamber. The second on the list is Attorney James E. Russell, one of the staunch- est defenders of the laborfng man. Honest, fearless and a man whom the republicans would fear in the alder manic chamber. Send him there with a big majority. The third on the list is John Tareila, a Lithuanian business man in the Brooklyn district. A man who has worked at the bench and who knows what a workingman has to con- tend with. Send all three of those men to the aldermanic chamber nd you will never regret it.
 In the fourth ward we have two of the leaders in the last aldermantc chamber, with new man to give them a hand. John J. Brophy and James Murray need no introduction to the voters of their ward nor of the city. They have done yeoman work in the last board and they will do it again. They will have as an aid this time new man, Patrick Dunn, and he pos sesses the same aggressive spirit of his two colleagues. Let every vote come out for those three men and swell the majority
 In the fifth we find more familiar faces. Lawrence Tobin, John Hurley and Frank K Bergen. Like the fourth, it is only question of majority in this ward, but the democrats should make 1t a rousing one, Not voter should remain at home. Each of those men deserves every vote in the ward. The old fifth should make a record this time and no doubt will do so.
 
 Every means is employed to defeat the democratic candidate for mayor. Men who hitherto never gave thought to local politics are in the game this year flor all they are worth,' because in MT Lynch they see the choice Of the people. Every working man in the city has determined to vote for Lynch, to give the working mans choice for mayor a chance.
 Vote early. democrats so that the workers can get a Line on the absentees and tardy ones and hunt them up.
 Democrats, don't scratch a single name on the ticket Monday. Vote it clean and in it's entirety This is an important election and every man should do his whole duty. Vote early.
 The republicans have endeavOred to make the trolley strike an issue in this campaign. It were better the strike matters were let rest. The set clement of the strike should have bur jed all recollections of the unpleasant affair.
 A new argument was started today why Mir Elton should not be elected mayor. It is that he would not have the time necessary to devote to the various interests of the city. Almost every night some board meets, and it would be necessary for him to be in attendance. MT Elton moves in high social circles and in spheres that never revolve around municipal affairs. The mayor of Waterbury is a busy man
