Not Our Sentiments

In the course Of his remarks to the
Waterbury Lions Club Thursday noon
Motor Vehicle Commissioner Michael A.
Conner had occasion to speak about political
patronage. Among other things he declared
that he did not subscribe to the old theory
that to the victor belongs the spols. Mainly
through republican efforts that axiom has of
recent years come to be regarded as some
what out of place. Yet we are firmly con-
WINGED that right here in our own state no
party has subscribed to it more faithfully
than have the republicans. All of which
makes us wonder why democrats, newly
come into power, are so fearful of following
the same procedure.
We spoke along this same line Of thought
yesterday in commenting upon the complaints
Of democratic senator's at Washington. They
are reported to be aggreved because patron
age, rightly theirs or their party's is being
dispensed by the quasi-demoerate members
Of the Roosevelt cabinet and not in the
direction that all good democrats would like
to see it. We recall that a prominent DEM
oeratie senator was quoted as saying that
for the democrats to propose a man for
public office was a political gesture. but
for republican to be mentioned for the
same job was non-partisan action. That's
top. dogma. We have had 1t drummed in
our ears for many years now. Certainly in
Connecticut democrats ought to be aware of
that.
The Democrat has long been outspoken
in its criticism Of the entrance Of politics
into various appointments, such as those to
the judiciary We do believe that these
offices are above and outside the realm Of
politics. That's why we long criticized our
republican rulers for RELOCATING the demo-
Gratis to the background in the courts of our
state. We think also that a minority party
il entitled to some consideration where it can
be given, such as appointments where there
are three or more men to hold office on a
commission. Major parties should be rep
resented by the majority, but minorities
should not be completely overlooked. Yet
that is just what happened in our state for
many years. The democrats were denied a
voice in what was going on.
Now that the voters have expressed
desire for change, we certainly think that it
should be given. That's why we can't agree
with Colonel Conner when he says that
government should not be considered a
spoil. He intcrprets we think, too liter.
ally the eatchphrase. If Connecticut voters
weren't dissatisfied with the way republi.
cans were running things in this state they
would not have voted for change. But
they did. so why not give it to them. Such
1 change does not necessarily call for the dis.
'ruption Of any department. There are just
as good democrats in this state capable Of
performing the duties that republicans have
for many years as there will be republicans
to take their places. If and when there is an.
another change in administration.

Norwalk is believed to be the first city in
Connecticut that is going to receive federal
funds for use in public works project.
National Committeeman Archibald Mcneil,
who is chairman Of the Public Works Ad.
visory Board for this state, has given out
the information that Norwalk is destined to
get the first loan and unless the officials
down at Washington pull reversal no
doubt the city can proceed with the work
at hand. From all reports the money will
be used to extend the towns water system.
The job is going to cost $259,000. Of this
sum $4,000 is being donated out
right by Uncle Sam. No doubt
other jobs will be approved in quick
order now that the Ice is broken and we
know the procedure which consists in for
warding information on each project separ-
ately and none in a group. We presume
that the majority of towns and cities will
be concerned with jobs similar to those Nor

systems and creation of sewage disposal
