Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-09-12

Attorney Lynch was given rouslng greeting at the meeting of his second ward supporters last evening, Wnlcn was held in the Second Ward Social clubs room on Burton street, near the engine house. It was the best and the largest and most encouraging meeting that has been held in the city since the campaign opened. And every man present was a working man and a voter. Timothy F. Conway, the "coal man." was chairman, and Cornelius Horgan secretary. Before MT Lynch, who was accompanied by Attorney ? Henry w. Minor arrived, the list was gone over and few errors corrected. Plans were drawn up and every man assigned to himself certain work on brimary day They are hustlers in s-ahe second ward and everyone seemed to have been present at the meeting in question.
 When MT Lynch and Mir Minor ar rived it was some time after $, and they were given a hearty reception. When speeches began MT Lynch said a great many things which are under
 
 but somehow he never noticed them until they were brought to his atten- ton last night. It was brought to his mind that fin the average parade of any society. such as the Knights of Pythias, Hihernians, K. of O., Masons or Odd Fellows, any society at all. no matter what it may be. there is surely to be found some representative of some de- 1S iair on But in the Labor day parade last Mon day. in which 2OO0 men took part, not q solitary representative of the local government except the registrar of voters was in the ranks. And not only that but in the 5000 or 6 900 of organ ized labor men in the whole city there is not one of them holding an ap- pofntfve office under the adninfstra- ton. Yet it is the working man who elects the candidates. It is the work ing man who is told this and that for days and nights and nights and days before election. It is to the working man the candidate makes his speeches, his promises The working man 1s fold what should he done, how it should be done and the kind of men who should do it. Everything depends upon the working man before the election hut not a thought is given to him after the election. and the fact that in an of the 5000 or 1000 organized working men in the city there Is not a solitary one of them holding an ap- pointfve municipal office.
 Mir Minor was given a good recep- ton when called upon for few words, and though it was his first appearance in the role of a campaign orator, he made good impression. He said that for some time the trolley company has been trying to run the city and to an extent succeeded in certain features of the government. If any other candi- date but MT Lynch is elected the troll ley company need bother it's head no more about trying to run the city. It will have no trouble in that respect, for it will be mayor and everything elsa-SIt was unnecessary for MT Minor to show what the trolley com pany has been doing here for some time and it would therefore be waste of time to tell what it would do if it got the city into : its clutches. Mir Lynch was the candidate to be elected. He is the selection of the people and the people will make no mistake in electing him.
 After the speeches routine work was taken up and the meeting adjourned to next Friday evening, after appoint < ing a committee to frame ticket for he primary. ];
