Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-11-07

It was a very poorly coniuctei campaign on the part of the demo crats and 1t Is surprising that they were not defeated more decisively. In she city there were several who are supposed to be members of the demo cratic party. who were doing all in their power for a few of the candi- lates on the republican ticket.

The returns from yesterdays cleo ti0n do not contain much for demo- crats to enthuse over, but democrats are accustomed to reverses and know how to accept defeat philosophically, consequently when the verdict of the people was made known they con graduated the victors and in many instances joined in the handshaking and cheering which were kept up un- til after midnight. To be sure there is a good deal of bad feeling over the conduct of men who betrayed the trust reposed in them by using their positions to get hold of democratic powder and using it to boost republi- cans, but these are things for which there appears to be no remedy in sight and it will go until the party has an organization strong enough to ehas- tise such offenders. There was very little concerted action among the democrats, and republicans who saw this expected to carry the town by majority of over 1000 votes.
 There was an awful mix-up in the counting ill the second ward. Plenty of confusion there between between democrats and republicans an.l at one time it looked as if some of the politicians would have 1t out with their fists. In the early part of the evening 1t was almost impossible to get into this booth for returns, it be- ing guarded as though some one or something of importance were with in.
 The throwing down of Warner by a few of the democrats who matched up the scheme was undoubtedly the means of depriving Waterbury of at least one representative. Wonder how the fellows who were responsible for the blunder feel this morning?
 Although there was an effort made by some of his own party to defeat Hugo, the New Havenite was not to

Move On Foot to Make a Change in
 Prosecutors Office.

Prosecutors Office.
 The election of Attorney Abner F. Hayes to the lower house of the leg islature, will, 1t is said, mean a change in the local office of the prosecuting liquor agent. It means, according to popular rumor that At torney Wilson H. Pierce. who has held the office for about eighteen years will have to retire and give up for Representative-elect Hayes.
 Though MT Pierce is a popular prosecuting agent, there Is q very we'll formed opinion that it is time he should retire for some one else. Some years ago there was q clamOr for his' removal OF the grounds that he was unable to perform the work of the office. He was in poor health at that time and the county commissioners stood by him.
 That change will also take place in the personel of board of county commissioners is also evident Though Mir Walter would not take office as county sheriff, had he been elected, until next spring, his retirement from the board of county commissioners will follow at that time, as matter of precedent. A defeated candidate Is generally considered defeated all around and 1t is taken for granted that he will have to retire from the board. Mir Walter was very popular until, on the dictatiOn of the republi- can machine in New Haven he took the nomination for county sherir away from Sheriff Durham.
 There was considerable money bet that Hurley would have majority of 800 over Reid and the alderman from the fifth brought the money home all right.
 Candidates for ofice in yesterdays election, the defeated ones as well as the others, should make it point to

c. Q. P. SWEEPS CONNECTICUT

Elects Entire stats Ticket and Five
 Consrsssmsn.
 New Haven, Conn, Nov. 1.-The Re publicans won almost as sweeping q victory in Connecticut as they did two years ago, the pluralitles being far greater than in the off year and com pairing very favorably with the high tide of votes that swept the state in 1904.
 The entire state ticket, all the five congressman and almost as many seats in the senate and house as they held at the session of the general assembly were captured by the Republicans. Mayor Charles T. Thayer of Norwich. an advocate of municipal ownership, fared no better as candidate for gov ernor than did previous nominees of the Democratic party who have been less radical in their opinions
 With but a single town missing, Rol. lin S. Woodruff, the Republican candl- date for governor, had plurality of 20,7O9 votes over Thayer Dem.).
 The great organized labor vote in Connecticut did not materially increase the vote of Charles J. Donahue, state president of the Federation of Labor, who ran for congressman at large against George L. Lilley. over that given in previous years to lawyers who were nominated for the same office
 The vote for Woodruff and Thayer was as follows.

In the early part of the evening as the returns came in, the Hearst sup porters became jubilant and thought that William Randolph would surely be elected.
 Chairman Freney and Clerk Reeves of the democratic committee did their best to turn what was generally look ed upon as certain defeat into victory, put too many whom they look to for a helping hand went the other way, so that all things considered the out come is no surprise.
