 Waterbury Democrat:
 Dear Editor:
 As a subscriber of your paper, may I submit the following:
 We have listened attentively to the able discourses of the candi- dates of both parties. The time is drawing near when the voters shall either endorse or denounce. Which shall 1t be? There is but one an- swer. and that will come emphat- ically from the voters of this community, especially the workers and wage earners who are the handspring of industry. They will give silent, yet conclusive testimo- nial that an industrial world shall not be a republican world, but rather uphold the ideals ia pure democracy which will elevate the rights of the people and not sub- merge them to subterranean depths as has been the case for the last four years.
 Through Rooseveltian leader ship alone will that reform come which will place the rights of the people above all, and restore the justice which has been denied. We don't need to go far for the picture, for here in this industrial city, the brass center of the world, in the shadow of the smoke stacks which have produced wealth, luxuries, homes unforeclosable, and incident ally. created class distinction, while the workers who as said above in reality are the mainspring of industry, representing our great middle class, have been degraded, depauperized, and harrassed to death by the most trying experi- loved ones broken in health and ences. Many have watched their spirit pass to premature grave through lack of physical necessi- ties, diseases and illness garnish- ing from anxieties and worries with which medical science is unable to cope. Homes wherein was in- vested life savings of the family have been snatched over their heads through greed and avarice. But, how far did these graspers get --only to be hit harder and doubly relentlessly, through the mysterl- ous ways of a higher power.
 Without enumerating further, l wish to emphasize that the party which has displayed such a blind consideration of economic and spiritual losses which does not protect the lives and homes of it's people, should not be considered. Had preventive measures been fallen, we would not be confronted to-day by such a depressing pie ture.
 Voice your disapproval and at the same time apply leverage to our depressed country by register ing your vote for Roosevelt and Al. the living opponents of patri- otism and Christian principles, upon which our nationSwas found ed. These are the only factors which will save us. That the dark clouds which have hung over our country may lift, that the furrowed brows of our people may be erad- icated, and the conditions which have crippled our nation remedied, Nature has already emphasized the fact that scourging conditions can be remedied by proper methods, as has been exemplified in the health of our most worthy candi- date for the presidency of the United States. Franklin D. Roose- welt, who has now practically re- covered from the most injurious and crippling disease known to humanity. Under his leadership may our nation do likewise. Tn an- ticipation for democratic victory in nation and state, remain M. w.
