The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-04-30

Voters will have the choice of three tickets to name their borough and town officers from for the conl- ing year at the election to be held
 Monday.
 The democratic party is banking on victory with the present war den, Frank T. Green heading, the ticket. The balance of the candi- dates on the Jeffersonian slate is practically the same as those now
 holding office with the exception of John Kiernan, borough treas- urer. MT Kiernan refused re-n0m- ination and Anthony F. Mariana was nominated for the office.
 Warden Green and his associates have not conducted an active cam
 paign. As the borough government
 has been in the hands of the Jeff fersonians for the past two years, during the worst period of the de-
 precision, they point to this record
 as one of which they will go before
 the voters on Monday, confident that the freemen will not forget the
 record made by the party Tn hand.
 ling the question of unemployed
 and the many other complicated
 questions that came up incidental
 to conditions. The democrats have
 come out for a strict economical
 administration, during the coming
 year. Arrangements have been made by the party workers to get
 out every vote of the party on
 Monday. There will be plenty of autos to transport those to the polls who wish it. There will be head quarters in each ward. with tele- phone connection to Shandle th1
 phase of the election.
 Party leaders gathered last night with the town committee members
 to complete details. It was decided that no rallies are to be held over the week end. The party leaders ex-
 pressed the opinion that the party would be returned to power With a
 good sized plurality despite the l fact that there are three tickets I in the field. The opinion was ex- | pressed that the third party ticket l is goin to pull many more votes from the republican ranks than It will from the democrats.
 i George w Waite who is heading | the third party ticket is for
 mer republican burgess and many of the candidates on the ticket are
 of republican leaning. The general opinion heard on the street corners ! and where politicians gather seems
 to indicate that the democrats will l again be returned to power.
 Republicans Hopeful
 The republicans with ex-warden
 Harris Whittemore, Jr., heading the ticket are hopeful that their party will be successful. Much work has been done by party leaders, I but the third ticket seems to give them considerable to worry about, Rallies were held last night by the g.o.p. in the Little Italy section Of l the borough, and other rallies are planned to tobnorrow among the
 foreign born population in Union City. On the other hand the republi- cans have the big handicap to over- come that the party has been up against all over the country, the present depression. Leaders have been real active for the past sever al weeks and nothing has been left
 undone to put their ticket across. WhereM They Jump From? What the leaders of the two ma | jor parties would like to know for
 certianty is just where the strength of the third party tivket is going to come from, the ranks of the re- publicans or democrats. It is con ceded that the third party will poll
 all the way from 500 to 1000 votes.
