FEARING LOSS
 OF CITY JOB.
 MAN RESIGNS
David Fitzgerald, Municipal Garage Employe, Voted Against Doherty For Sheriff.

Fearing that his action in voting for Captain Edward c. Ginty of Dan bury as candidate on the Democratic ticket for sheriff instead of Alderman n Thomas P. Doherty of this city, would result in the decapitating of his po- iltical head and would cost him his tob, David A. Fitzgerald of the sev- enth district, an employee of the | municipal garage. rendered his resig- nation as checker at the garage to Superintendent of Charities Angus P. ThorTe, secretary of the Garage con- troI commission, with the declaration that he would beat the powers that be- to it.'' Superintendent of Charities Angus P. .Thorne, Garage Control comnlis- Sicn secretary. today confirmed the ia ct that Fitzgerald came to him and garage.
 "FitzgeraId came to me and told me he was through at the garage" MT. Thodne said today. He gave no mater before the garage control com inissicn at its next meeting for ac- tton.'
 Asked that if Fitzgerald came to him and told him that he had changed his mind, would he put him back to work. MT: Thorne said: "Regardihg that could say say. The commission will decide whether Fitzgerald is to be replaced or not. I will do nothing out submit my report of the matter" Told He "Was Through"
 Fitzgerald sought out Democratic Town Chairman John J. McGuinness declaring that he was told after he voted for Ginty at the county conven- ton Monday that he was "all done" as the expression goes in political cir the party, Fitzgerald declared, said that they were out to get him and rather than allow them to get him he would resign his position, thereby stealing march on them.
 In no nice terms Town Chairman McGuinness told him what he thought of him and of any man who did not have the courage of his convictions. convention" Chairman McGuinness declared. You had a perfect right to vote for whoever you pleased. As for being censured for your vote that is ridiculous. You're not supposed to pay any attention to what is said about you When the executive board or lea f@r in the party censures you for infraction then it is time to pay atten- ton. You have done a foolish~thing. Go back to the garage and go to work. Got to Thorne and have him put you back or have him take the matter up with the pror CT officials
 Admits Nasty Action.
 Fitzgerald. before the town chair man. admitted that his action was rather nasty. Town Chairman Nc Guinness made it very plain that if a btIGSepOfI man voted Tor CaD tam GintY for sheriff that was no crime or reason for outlawing that narticu- Tar delegate. His decision settles the case of other Bridgeport delegates who voted for Ginty and who have been threatened with political decapi- atlon by semi-leaders.
 Fitzgerald declared that he voted for Ginty because he believed that Bridgeport was well represented on the Democratic state and county tick cts. He said that Alderman Doher- ty &nd himself were the best of friends. A rather conica1 twist to the situation is that on Monday at the county convention in the Stratfie1d notel. Fitzgerald wore a Thomas P. Doherty For Sheriff badge on his coat but when the roll call was read he voted lustily for Captain Ginty.
 Opinion in political circles today is that Fitz~erald will in all probability ne replaced if he so desires.
