New Britain herald., 1916-04-10

r. the second ward rally, we consider peanut politics and on a par with most of the political endeavors of a certain out of town newspaper. The intel Iigent voters of both nationalities will resent any appeal made on such grounds. Much of the vote catching bait has been passed out by the ward workers on the other side, ably as sisted by an Over-zea1ous news writer Mr. Pelton has ignored all such cheap thruSts. It is now up to the voters = of the city to decide which type of po- litical activity they will endorse. Ap- peal to the lower passions should be resented by all citizens interested in the city's welfare"
 Judge Mangan Confident.
 Judge William F. Mangan, chair man of the democratic town commit tte, this afternoon gave the following statement to Herald man: ''Pros- poets were never brighter for victory for the party, than the outlook for tomorrow. I believe that local vot- CTS are more interested in the welfar of the city than in tnt claims of the republicans on the bearing of the re- suit toward the state election in the fall. 1 believe that MT. Pelton will win with a majority of 200 to 3OO." Quiglcy Confident.
 T feel confident that I will be elected by big majority and that in this manner the people will endorse the administration of the past two years," said Mayor Quigley this morn ing when asked for a prediction statement. Beyond these words His Honor declined to go. He would make no statement giving figures. : Day Very Quiet.
 For a prediction day following one of the most strenuous mayoraltv campaigns in the history of the city the situation was very quiet today and there was comparatively little talk of politics or the result How ever, party workers were busy. plan ming for tomorrow's labors and it was evident that an effort will be made to get out big vote.
 One Big Fight.
 The whole contest in tomorrow's city election will center on the mayor atty battle. This condition is brought about the action of the demo- cratic city convention in endorsing all the republican candidates for com petltlve offices With the exception of mayor.
 Two Ward Battles
 In the wards there will be sharply ! fought contests in the fifth and sixth. The four lower wards are conceded to l the republicans as in the past, but l in the fifth will there be acton. Two years ago the republi- l cans by herculean efforts managed to l oust the democrats and they will at 1 tempt to repeat the trick tomorrow. 1 +he democrats are determined to stop | the invasion of their precints at this | salient as the republicans are also threatening to invade the sixth, which | thus far they have failed to penetrate beyond the outer defenses. On the other hand the republicans are de- Eermned to consolidate their gains of two years ago and Mayor Quiglev is even quoted as saying that he will carry the sixth tomorrow.
