Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-09-17

said to-day that all the uemOcfduc lawyers there and many other mem bers of the legal profession who have decided to vote for Judge Par ker have formed Parker and Davis clubs and hold meetings at different places from time to time where ad- dresses are made which attract large audiences. He thought the attor- neys in Waterbury could do good by banding together with similar end in view, but after thinking it over he remarked ulat he was aware that the inducement for member of the Connecticut Bar association to take bold stand on the democratic side of question is not quite as good here as in New York, but, even so, he was of the opinion that they would lose nothing by stepping into the arena for Judge Parker and the whole ticket. He said that every re- publican lawyer ill town is more or less active Tor his own party and added that he has to be if he ever ex- poets to be recognized. The gentle man also said it was noticed here, too, the office holders, including the mayor and the postmaster, have been pressed into service and are doing SFGLJ llll1IS III pOW0I LO AGlp continue their party ate the helm.
 Michael Sheehy of the fifth ward, one of the delegates to the probate convention, is getting some hard knocks for supporting Judge Lowe, but he says he is not much worrie he was elected on a Lowe ticket and x1 together he voted for Lowe. Be- fore he was put on the ticket he promised James J. Cassin, MT Lowe's clerk, to vote for MT Lowe, but later on the influence brought to bear on him In favor of Mir Guilfoile was so great he first thought seriously of it and finally said he would support him, but the day the convention met he thought better of his promise to his next door neighbor and personal friend, MT Cassin, and concluded to stand on the ground he started out on and feels that in doing so he chose the lesser of two evils. It is very evident that MT Sheehy made gre vious mistake in making the second promise, and it is quite likely that if it had to be done over again he WOulu uOL lldNG ludNlC LlG lOI no man can serve two masters and please both. AS a rule, he satisfies nobody, not even himself, and wishes that 4he hadn't been thought of when the ticket was being made up.
