Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-08-28

make a try this year and we Intend
 to keep 1t up.'
 There must be some mistake about
 the so-called alliance between the Hill
 Street Improvement club and tho Sec. ond Ward association. The Hill street people were used pretty decently by the present administration and thelr spokesman said so on and off at pub lie meetings. What's up now? Alas for South Brooklyn. It went into the full taxation district and since that time 1t has been lost in the shuttle. The other school districts remained outside and have forced the city to give them practically what they want while not paying anything like the rate levied in South Brook lyn. You may call this what you please, but in plain English 1t Is nothing shore of improving one part of the town at the expense of the other.
 The regular Simon pure republicans of the third ward held meeting last night and agreed upon Thomas B. Walker and Louis E. Fitzsimons as candidates for aldermen. They are on the board now and with some other good man as running mate 1t will be hard to beat them.
 |. = At meeting of the Second Ward and Hill Street Improvement socie- ties last night Charles A. Templeton of Pine street was unanimously in- dorsed as candidate for alderman an the republican ticket If the regulars put him on the club will fall in line with them, but fl. they don't, there will be war in the camp, for the clubs will run a ticket of their own and probably drive the regulars out all together. It was said that the clubs would also name a man to be put on the democrat ticket, but there must have been some mistake about that. although 1t would not be a bad plan, for if the republicans refused to do business with them they might be able to agree with the democrats. But that would not do. The second ward is made up largely of dyed in the wool L)republlcans who, while knowing their rights, would prefer to go without them rather than appear In opposi- tion to the candidates of their own party.
 A great effort is being made in re- publican circles to disrupt the fftL ward democracy and some of the smart boys think they have the feat accomplished, but unless all signs of the time fail, those who are making this boast are very wide of the mark. Of course it all depends upon who Is doing the talking and what way one looks at it. In the opinion of conser- vative democrats, there is no reason In the world why there should be more than one ticket at the primary. but supposing there should be two, or even three, this would not be any reason why all democrats could not fall Into line on election day and give their hearty support to the can didates who are in the race. Men who can't do this have no business in politics or any other game. A man who never laughs except when he
 wins, is poor sport, and people don't
 care much about him. There are not
 many such fellows in the fifth ward, SO that no matter how many tickets
 appear at the primary everybody will
 be with the victorious one after the result of the contest is announced. But 1t isn't likely that there will be more than one ticket. This talk about |Senator Hurley and Mayor Thoms be- ling on the outs is all republican rot land the public will find that out at |the primaries. and if not there, sure |ly on election day. The senator and |the mayor are very warm friends, politically, anyway, but because 1t
 eerves their purpose. the republican
 organs are making an effort to con-
 vince the public that each would like Do give the other the knife.
 The republicans will not use ma. |chines at the primaries. Some of. the leaders like this while others are very
 much disappointed and claim that
 they wouldn't have gone into 1t at
 bil had they known that the machines
 you'd not be used.
 One of the members of the D
 ho Is said to be working heart and
 bui for John Sewell for the mayoral-
 nomination Is Captain Carter. Ac- yording to the story should Sewell be
 hominated and elected Captain Garter is to be made a member of the board of safety. Of course Mir SeweIls friends claim that he will make no promises or pledges. perhaps he will not. Nevertheless those who appear Ito have a little inside information claim that Mr Carter will be on the safety board should things go Sew elI's way. And if Captain Carter
 should land on said board a few in the city might feel a little uneasy. It is said that the captain has not an abundance of love tor Superintendent Of Police Beach. It will be remem- bered that Carter was mentioned as the successor to ex-Chief Egan and bis friends were confident that he | would be the. next head of the police l department.
