The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-10-08
WATER WILLIE

JOyOuSly 1uenudy LuSH IHc1E pdrI HI the smashing victory scored by Mayor Hayes and the democratic ticket in Tuesdays municipal elec- ton. For the second time since Waterville became 8 part of the city the local district turned in a democratic majority. The total vote CT than in the Hayes cam jortty of 279 in that campaign was wiped out and Hayes defeat ed Tracy in the sixth district by 132. This majority was some- what higher than that enjoyed by the rest of the ticket which ran ahead by about a hundred votes. With the exception of Alderman c. Arthur Dubois, resident of the Wa terville district, and candidate for reelection, all democratic can didates were successful. MT. Du- Bois defeated his opponent, George Guilfoile, by fourteen votes, the count being 597 to 5S3. This was made possible by the compliment tary vote given the local candidate by the Waterville voters. He also had the distinction, thanks to his Waterville lead, of obtaining first place on the list of republican al- dermen polling a total of 12,323 votes.
 Credit for the democratic victory goes largely to William H. Dun- leavey, democratic district leader for Waterville, whose smoothly running organization functioned beautifully all day. The other fac tor was the indisputable turn to Hayes of scores of republican vot- CTS, who turned out in larger num- bers than in any recent city cleo tion. Two years ago 1t was felt that MT. Conway failed of election be- cause of the failure of republicans to cast their ballots. This was un- doubtedly true in Waterville as in other sections of the city but no such claims can be made this year. The republicans did get out and voted for Hayes in great numbers
 From the opening of the polls at 6 a. m., when Willard Healey of Edgehill avenue cast the first bal lot, until 6 p. m. There was plenty of activity ot the Thomaston ave- nue firehouse. The period from a. m. to 1O:30 a. m. was particular ly heavy but the greatest rush oc- cured during the final hour when the line extended from the ma chimes to the sidewalk. Voters were still arriving when the machines were closed.
 The democratic victory parade came to Waterville Tuesday night, covering all important streets.
