The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-07-05

state organization in the campaign to have him elected president. am confident that this year Con- necticut will go democratic. Gov
 Roosevelt is fine man and a wonderful executive. His experi- ence in public life both in New
 York and in Washington certainly warrants the support of the elec- torate."
 "The Waterbury democratic or ganization will do it's utmost to swing votes to Governor Roose- velt," said Town Chairman Crary.
 There should be no dissatisfac- tion," he added. Governor Roosevelt has wonderful record and went itno the national con- vention with very strong backing. It was apparent almost from the start that he would be the nominee although we behind ex-Governor Smith sought for his nomination. I know Governor Roosevelt, per- sonally, and also his record and [ feel that he will not only carry Wa terbury but the state as a whole"
 Ex-Mayor Thoms said: Cover nor Roosevelt has received the nomination. He is a democrat, through and through. The plat form which he has approved of is a really democratic one. I endorse his candidacy for the presidential nomination ana will do all in my power to see that he is victorious. Waterbury should enjoy the can. didacy of such a wonderful -leader.''
 AS for the fight on the national committee posts the local demo- crats today were apparently sais- fled. They were agreed on ex- Mayor David D. Fitzgerald of New Haven in the event of the nomina- tion of anyone other than Cover nor Roosevelt. They were satis- fled with Archibald McNeils re- election to the national committee. On the woman's post they were also favorably impressed but ex- pressed regret that Governor Will bur L. Cross had taken them to task for "repudiating the state convention" as he saw fit to say.
 The local delegates, all opposed to Mrs Welch, did not seek to cross the governor on his recom- for national cmmittee- woman but were under the impress sion that the governor should have guided his recommendation in ac- cordance with the majority of the national delegation from Connecti- cut. He failed to do so and named Mrs Fannie Dixon Welch of Column bia although the majority of the delegation was against her. This closed out other compromise can didates who might have been off, fered.
 "Let 1t go." said Chairman Crary this morning. "The democratic party in Connecticut should not fight over such things at this time. We are uot for victory and we will have 1t this fall only by forgetting inside differences and working as unit"
 Mayor Hayes today made light of the story concerning him to the ef- feet that he had acted as 8 hero on Toledo, Ohio, to the effect that he, individually, had subdued a men tally unbalanced woman who had swung aboard a train. "The report was greatly magnified, Mayor Hayes said.
 Great interest was expressed here today in the report that either Mayor Hayes or ex-Mayor Thoms would be named among the elec- toral delegates. This year the num- Der will be eight due to the in- crease in the number of congress- men from this state. Under the party rules, an electoral delegate is allowed for each congressman and United States senator. In the past there have been only five con- gressmen and two national sena- tors. This year there will be six congressman and two national senators, thereby bringing the states representation in the elec- toral college to eight instead of seven.
