Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-10-12
POLITICAL POINTERS
Party of Trusts Going to Lose Says
 One Member of That Party.

trust party told Democrat reporter to-day that Waterbury will certain ly go democratic by a majority of 800. He was asked how he came to this conclusion and his answer was that the names of the applicants to be made voters showed that the dem- ocrats are away in the majority
 Have you seen Attorney Bauby's hands at all in this campaign?" he asked Not a bit of it. believe there is coolness between MT Bauby and the leaders of his party. You know that under John Kellogg's chairmanship MT Bauby was always prominent worker for the party, bringing in Italians to be made by the hundred. Has he brought in any this fall? Not one. l don't think there are half dozen Italians on the list of 1,200 applicants to be made voters. Take that state of af- fairs with the statement of a well knoun contractor, published in the papers week ago, that he had
 brought about 800 laborers to the city during the year and all of them
 left him for shop jobs. What k'nd of unskilled labor does contractors employ? Mostly Italians. Surely, there must be at least half of that 800 citizens who could be made vot- CTS if anyone was sent after them.
 That is where the coldness between the party leaders and MT Bauby is apparent If one contractor brought here 800 laborers during the year. l it is reasonable to suppose that other 1 contractors brought few hundred also. Oughtn't there to have been good picking for the party in such a ! number as that, but there is no one
 to do the picking if MT Bauby won't,
 and I'll bet anything that he won't
 raise his hand for the party this fall
 despite promises . or threats. MT
 Bauby may go over to the democratic
 party" Here the reporter left the
 man, for such thing coming true I would be too serious even for MT
 Bauby to consider.
 The democratic county convention
 will convene in Meriden Monday to
 nominate candidates for county
 sheriff and other county offices. The delegates from Waterbury are John c. Thompson, Daniel J. Murphy, Tim. | othy J. Brennan, John Sayles, Ed ward J. Donahue, Frank A. Wells Charles Bogart. Peter Quinn, James Shannahan. Patrick H. Hackett
 David Sheehy, James Wilson and
 James II. Freney.
 It now looks as though the nom
 inee for county sheriff will be Philip
 Hugo, a very popular and prominent ! resident of New Haven. He has been | identified with the democratic party for years and invariably has been g winner when on the ticket. He is g | great worker and a vote winner, a
 man of his word and very direct and comprehensive taliler. He ought | to make good against such man as Walter, whose reputation as a poli tician is well known. Walter will not run at all in Waterbury, but that is 1 a story for later use.
 Town Clerk Brett has received of.
 ficial ballots from the secretary of
 state to be used at the state election Unless something unexpected hap pens voting machines will be on hand for that occasion and no ballots will be needed. Everybody wants the machines. They are sure to bring out full vote and this is something that has not happened here in many
 a day. Owing to clever manipulation of ward lines the democrats have been at great disadvantage in get ting a chance to cast their ballots, and as a result about 700 or 500 electors in the fourth and fifth have
 not been heard from in years, sim
 ply because they could not get to the booths on time 10 vote unless they
 lost half day, and this is something
 few workmen can afford to do. all though it could easily be frittered away at less profitable business. With the machines all will have am pie time to vote without losing any | thing and that is the way it ought | to be. There should be several vot- ing precincts in all the wards. repub- | lican and democratic. and then the confusion incident 10 election would
 be thing of the past. With ma.
 chine at Union square, one st Sco-
 wills bridge and another in the south
 end. the fifth district would poll its full vote. and similar result woaid
 be reached in the other wards. This might not suit office seekers whC
 have reason to fear contest at the
 polls with no obstacles thrown tn the
 way of the working people. but that
 can't be helred. Let us have d fail
 vote. no matter which side come: out ahead.
