Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-10-05


 constables this year than ever be- fore, for it means two years In office for those who are elected. Last year the people voted among tue questions that came before them to put their constables in Waterbury on the same footing as most all of tho other pub lie office holders. So the race for constable is hotter this year than ever before, and 1t has always been pretty hot, insignificant as the office Is.
 The Hebrew Democratic club will hold rally in the Shapiro block, corner of Kingsbury and North Elm streets, tomorrow night. Mayor Thoms and others will speak.
 The democrats will give their can didate for city clerk, William F. Moher, their solid support. It is ad- mitted that William Sandland, the present holder, who is up for re- election, is popular, but Moher can defeat him if the democrats do not cut him. It looks as though Thoms is going in from anywhere from 500 to 1000, and with this majority for the head of the ticket there is no reason why Moher should be count ed out, even though he is cut to some extent. Give him your vote at any rate, democrats, and you'll be surprised to see the result.
 
 Dr Kilmartin doesn't know wheth- CT to get mad or laugh at the state rnent in this mornings Republican regarding his speech before the Lithuanian club last night. T did not address any Lithuanian gather ing last night" said the doctor to a reporter, "and in my,open air re- marks in Brooklyn didn't mention the name of George L. Lilley. The Republican reporter heard what, I said and if the paper would copy from him instead of using stuff dished up by campaign committee it wouldn't have quoted me as talk ing about MT Lilley or speaking in the Lithuanian club. Whats the matter with that paper, anyway? It used to be very reliable, but that was long ago."
 That must have been a hard blow last night for some of the good re- publicans that read the American Thoms is good enough for the Amer ican for the next two years. Our Grand street contemporary has said many good things for SeweI, but it evidently was just joshing some of its readers. It's editorial last night for Thoms shows where it stands. The Republican must be feeling lonesome. ..a.
 Mayor Thoms will attend a rally at the South End club on South Main street at II o'clock tonight.
 It is amusing to those who really know him to listen to one of the To- cal republicans talk so much about honesty. A number of prominent sports of this city cannot forget one Fourth of July at Driving park some years ago. This politician was back ing a horse which had not chance in thousand of winning. He was backing it and got the people back, I ing it so as to make 1t favorite Knowing that the house which he was touting as good thing had moi a chance he hedged and won bunch of money. There were five men il one party who lost S165 on the race They claim that he has been a schen CT just so all his life. One of then while speaking on the matter thi morning said things which woul look better in a devils diary than a newspaper.
 Attorney Church of the republican town committee and Abner F. Hayes were two of the busiest republicans in town to-day. So busy were they that the United States signal corps and the Marconi wireless telegraph could not keep pace with them. Their unusually handsome faces were white and blanched and even the fine breeeze blowing into Mir Churchs of- | flee could not bring a flush, unless it was a flush of inordinate haste to them. They looked as though the earth had fallen from under them. If MT Hayes alone had looked that way there would be small cause to wOn- der, for he is a heavyweight, but the chairman of the republican town com mittee is of another build. They looked as if they felt defeat in the air. Mir Hayes is said to have call culated that Mir Sewell will go to the fourth and fifth wards with a ma jority of 1,200 votes Now Mir Hayes is one of the most sanguine in his party and is a careful and cool poli- tician and when he gives his standard bearer only that small majority go- ing into the stronghold of democ- racy, the republicans might as well take to the woods now as Monday. They will spare themselves a stam- | pede," is the way one man nut 1t as
