Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-09-26
POLITICAL POINTERS
Boih Parties Lining Up For the
 J, Battle - Hebrews 10 Meet.

he surface, republicans and demo-
 lrats are hard at work fixing their
 knces for the great battle which will Be pulled off on election day. The
 democrats feel confident of holding peir full party vote and expect col,- Iiderable support from the other side. The republicans know they cannot Nyin on party vote, but they have q lotion that the democrats will give
 Them a hand. This idea is not borne
 but by anything one can hear in dem- bcratic circles, and unless something tntirely. unlocked for happens be- Tween now and election day Mir Sew
 ell will find that few so-called dem- ocrats who are sounding his praises cannot change the minds of people who do not think him safe person to put at the head of the city govern ment. Almost every man who pre- tends to be a democrat and says he is not going to vote for Thoms turned against him because he wanted some thing and didn't get it and it is doubt ful if any great number will be mis- led by anything such ale may say. The present administ.> on has brought about some very important
 changes in municipal government and
 citizens who want nothing but good government from Mayor Thoms will want to continue him in office. It is amusing to hear men say that small
 water consumers are paying two cents
 now for the same quantity that large ones get for one cent. Probably that
 Is true, but isn't it also true that
 when Mayor Thoms assumed the reins
 of government small consumers were paying three cents for the same quafl-
 tity of water that larger ones were
 getting for half cent The present
 administration went as far as it pos
 sibly could towards equalizing the
 water rates and if it didn't come up to. everybody's expectiOn it cannot |
 be denied that it went long way in
 that direction and with board of al- |dermen favorable to flat rate there | is no reason to doubt that Mayor Thoms 1 would favor such action. In public i way Mayor Thoms has done well, but he has not succeeded in pleasing every man who wanted to get his | name on the city payroll. This is where the shoe pinches and there is no way of relieving the pressure un- less a man wants to let down the bars altogether and that would not do, either.
 Tho IJohrou-e of +ba oitx- rn ,>ro,or ing for big democratic rally which will be held Sunday afternoon at 2;30 at the corner of Kingsbury and North Elm streets. They are enthusiastic for the present administration and at the coming rally, several of the off, cials will deliver remarks. Not only are the Hebrews of the first ward go- ing to turn out strong but from all other sections of the city.
 , The board of registration will be in session next Saturday from 9 o'clock In the morning until in the evening for the purpose of making new voters. If your name is on the list make it | a point to call there and be made all alector. The man who neglects to take advantage of the franchise and thinks there Is nothing in these cleo ion contests that concerns him is de- ceivng himself.
