Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-10-03

A stronger town L1CkeL LndH LudL nominated by the democratic party this year has seldom been placed be- fore the electors of Waterbury. Every person on the ticket is 8 good citizen. With two exceptions all have held office before, have performed the du- ties of their offices faithfully, honestly and conscientiously and have earned the respect and esteem of the con1- munity at large. Frank F. Brett, re- nominated for town clerk, needs no in- troduction to the voters of Waterbury. His candidacy needs no lengthy com ment. Suffice it to say that during the several terms in which he has held the office the duties of town clerk have been discharged faithfully and efficient ly and to the satisfaction of all per sons who had business to transact ii that office.
 Joseph Lawlor has been nominated for first selectman. He is the son of old residents Of Waterbury and has resided here ali his life. He has dis charged the duties of selectman during the past year in such a manner that he deserves to be promoted to the first place on the board of selectmen.
 Who is Louis Raffel? He is one of the most prominent Hebrew residents of Waterbury and one of it's leading business men. He IS respected by all classes and will no doubt poll big vote for the office of second selectman.
 At the head of the list of constables is the name of that old warrior of democracy, Thomas H. Pryor. There is no more popular office holder in the city than the genial colonel. His re- election is certain. Associated with him Is a man who has always per formed the duties of his office efficient ly and conscientiously He has al- ways been a strong democrat and al- ways hard and earnest worker for party success. He is Maurice F. Gar mody, who should receive big, rous ing vote on next Monday.
 Why should anything be said about Constable Lannen? Everybody knows him. The able manner in which he fills the office is known by all and they will see that he can continue to do his good work for another year.
 Patrick Kelly Is a new office seeke- It is the first time that he has asked the voters of this city for their sup port. He is a young man of good character, of fine ability. If elected he will make fine official. Let every democratic vote in the city be cast for him on next Monday.
 John H. Flanagan has been re-nom- mated for registrar He needn't worry for nomination for such office means an election.
 A word to the residents of the Brooklyn district You also did not escape the abuse heaped upon the other portions of the city. Into your district went the only armored car during the trolley troubles. Into your district went troops of soldiers. What for? Was there any use for it? The only serious rioting that took place was in the center of the city, and the re- publican chief of police could not cope with it, although backed by a repub- lican board of aldermen. You have been given the same brand of murder CTS, rioters and thugs. Your families have been reviled, because when the man of the family is insulted, when he is innocent, your wives and daughters and sons and sisters must feel the in- suit just as keenly. All the nationali- ties which go to make up your busy population came in for their share o. abuse. The Irish as well as the Lithu- anians were included in the list of rioters by those same republican or gans who are now asking you to vote for them. You cannot do it consist ently nor conscientiously. You would not allow a man to slap your face without cause or reason, without re- senting the blow. You were insulted and abused without reason and here is your chance to repay that insult and that abuse. The democrats and those who are not democrats in the Brooklyn district have a duty to perform. and they must rebuke the republican or gans who have heaped abuse upon them and their families. You have. the opportunity to do it with your balV lots, and every voter of every nation.p ality should be up and doing on Mony day and yote the straigIlf democratic
