POLITICAL POINTERS
Democrats of Fifth to Make a
 Vigorous Campaign.

Democrats of the fifth ward will
 hold a meeting at headquarters cor ner East Main and Brook streets at 8
 o'clock Friday night for the purpose of considering what means can be
 devised to get out the full vote on
 election day. The republicans are
 making house to house canvass and
 in some streets several persons are
 employed at the job and in addition
 to keeping it up all day; many, of
 them put in overtime and claim they
 have all they can swing into from
 now until Monday. Democrats of
 the fifth ward will get down to busi-
 ness Friday and it is hoped that
 very large number will be on hand to
 talk the matter over.
 Dr Crane says he is not opposed to a man holding office even though he
 is not a rate payer. If that be so
 what does the doctor mean by emu
 merating the number of men on the city boards whose names do not ap- pear on the collectors books?
 There is the deuce to pay in the fifth ward over the way M. F. Per
 kinson, republican candidate for sheriff, is said to be monopolizing the voting machine sent into that district to give voters a chance to
 learn how to use it before thcy go to the polls. It is said that MT Per kinson and a few of his henchmen ha xrha fo oIxvn- and besides democrats don't care to go near it lest they might be sus- pected of being influenced by, Per kinson to vote for Mir Sewell and the rest of the republicans. The matter was discussed at meeting of demo- crats last night and while it was on somebody inquired how large Per- kinson is and if 1t were SO that there are not enough democrats on Bald win street to push him to one side and make him wait for his turn. This was answered by somebody who said that the republicans put the machine there and that he thought the democrats ought to send another into that part of the town for a day or two. The matter was referred to a committee to see what can be done about it.
 People are so busy fixing political i fences these times they scarcely have | time to bestow a thought upon this | beautiful October weather. It will ! be an ease to everybody when this l cruel war is over, and young and ! old, rich and poor, will have an op- portunity to step out into the woods | and get little fresh air before shut l ting themselves up for a long win 1 ter. If a campaign of education was being conducted one wouldn't care l so much, but when a party has a committee at work matching up all 1 kinds of islander and putting it be- | fore the public as news, while others l are going from one tavern to another | buying drink for people who are in 4 the habit of taking too much of the ! stun, it is quite different, and it is no wonder that many are asking | where we are at, anyway. I'm 1 of my party and ashamed i of my party organs" re- marked a prominent republican to- day, ''and 1t looks to me that I'll be obliged to do what I once thought l never would even think of. vote the democrat ticket straight"
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-10-02
A CLEAN CAMPAIGN
Is What is Wanted By the Public
 Works Board.

The republican campaign com mittee got 1t in the neck yesterday afternoon at the meeting of the board of public works, when the commis- sioners went for the mud singers with vengeance, even the republi- can members coming out boldly against the business of assailing the character of men who give a share of their time to the public and try hard to do the right thing. Con- missioner Dennison was very indig. nant at the conduct of his party managers when these islanders ap- peared and went to the committee and inquired what they meant. He was Informed that the party was in no way responsible for these charges and that the aggrieved would have to look some place else for redress. The general opinion appeared to be that party whose candidates can t win on their merits had better get out of the way for the time being and leave the field to others. ,
 Commissioner Finn's. temper was at white heat and he struck right out from the shoulder T want to say, said MT Finn, notwithstanding all that has been said to the contrary, that Mayor Thoms hasn't my resig- nation as member of this board and while admit. that I am ready to hand it to him any time he asks for 1t, it is not in his safe now. And as to the graft stories that are being circulated by the Sunday papers I'll say this much as publicly, I have never, nor has any member of my family, directly or indirectly, receiv- ed one cent from anyone for any stand I have taken or any vote have cast. Furthermore, I never sep arated myself from the party in Bos- ton and slipped into the office of the Warren Bros in Boston. Mayor Thoms and I did not leave the party at all while there for any such pur- pose. don't even know where the office is. l can make the same boast that Commissioner Walker makes, that l have always used my best Judgment in every vote and Colonel Scott has never offered me one cent for anything I have done in connec- tion with paving or anything else. have had part in the city govern ment on and off for twenty years as a member of the common council on the board of finance, two years on the board of health, two years on the board of charities and then on this board. During all this time I never was approached with an offer of gratt and am willing to go before the board Of aldermen or any court and swear to this. have also been treasurer of many societies for years and my ac- counts have always been checked to the cent. I don't like this mud to be thrown at me nor this board. There ought to be better targets. I believe every member of this board to be honest and honorable"
 MT Finn was very angry, but not any more so than. the rest of the com- including MT Walker and MT Dennison, both loyal adherents of the g D, but too honorable to stand for a dirty campaign.
