IN every one OF the so-caIIed work
together and given Ford and the en-
tire Ullman ticket a delightful trim
ming.
Mayor FitzGerald's plurality was
24oo votes which while not as large
won by 288o was in fact many times
larger in proportion. Within the two
years with the addition OF the wom-
ems votes and the unusually large
number of male voters made the vot-
ing list of the city has increased more
than 10000. There were 37,I54 votes
cast and when the mayor pulled down
majority of 24oo out of those, he
was certainly running strong.
On the ticket with him was Arthur
ID. Mullen, nominee for controller,
who had gotten in bad with the Car
penters' union over contracts let by
his firm to an out-of-town and non
union contractor while hundreds of
local union men were out of work
here. The carpenters did not really
seek to bring about his defeat but to
so cut into his expected majority that
the power of Labor would be shown
1t was emphatically Mr. Mullen run
ming $50 behind Mayor FitzGera1d
and the rest of the ticket Had the
election been close and the proper
ton prevailed, he would have been
the wards largely populated by Or
ganized Workers he ran far behind
and was only pulled up by the So
called business residential wards
With the mayor also were elected
Of he al ~
democrats a working majority of five
and practically assuring the re-elec-
ton of John w Murphy as president
of the board. Mr.. Murphy is business
agent for the local Cigarmakers'
union and now on his fourth year as
president of the aldermanic body. He
was elected from his ward, the new
27th, by a vote of I,o4o to 2z5
Up in Waterbury the voters there
summarily kicked out Mayor William
H. Sandland who, when the big brass
strike was on a year or two ago,
solidly lined up against Organized
Labor and even went to the extent of
refusing to welcome the annual con-
of the Connecticut Fedora
ton of Labor to that city. Francis
z. Guilfoyle, an attorney and always
a good friend of Organized Labor,
was his democratic opponent and
was elected by majority of 1904,
the largest ever given a majoralty
in the Brass City.
Guilfoile's total vote was 1920;
oandland's, S,I46. The landslide for
Iullto1le carries all the democratic
candidates into Office, including
Thomas P. Kelly as cit y clerk, Ed
ward L. Tuttle as city treasurer; ex-
Representative Peter FitzHenry as
Eugene Crosby as citv
sheriff, Jesse Devine, tax collector.
and Miss Dora Egan, town clerk,
In elatter defeated Robert Palmer,
veteran ho13r of the Office. Both
democratic candidates for the board
OF education, Henry T. Butler and
Nathan freedman, were elected, as
was Mrs. Alletta B. Deming, repub-
llcan- John H. Goss, present vice
chairman OF the board, was defeated.
Aldermen elected were:
James Duggan, Patrick McFadden.
and Charles p Schuilo, democrats.
Addison A. Ashborn and Frank Ppe.
republicans, The republicans retain
a majority in both board of aldermen
and board of education Hans Ras-
mussen, peoples party's candidate for
mayor, polled a total of 8z2. Charles
L. Peach, socialist nominee for NAV
or, received 287.
On the whole the elections should
be very satisfactory to the Labor
man, In both instances his enemies
Weer defeated and his friends elected.
