"Everybody in town thai is familiar with the situation knows that tho election of Mayor Hayes i' Q forogone conclusion.

 With almost every other munl' cipality in New England In al kinds of trouble, Waterbury ha' como through the depression II such q way that tho present admin istration has recieved many faVor able comments.

 If this city were not looked aft' CT in excellent fashion by Mayor Hayes and Dan" Leary. money could not be borrowed at amazing ly low rates. While other cities throughout the state and in other parts of the east were unable tc procure loans under any circum' stances, Waterbury, because of the way 1t was managed, received plenty of moneys from the bankers at a very low rate of interest. Then again look at the way that 1t has handled it's unemployment situa- tion. Everybody knows about that
 This Is the first campaign In number of years that the republi- cans are not talking finances. They evidently realize that they cannot get anywheres criticising Hayes and I.eary in that respect. Down ir their hearts they know 1t Is hope less, so I suggest that they endorse Mayor Hayes and let it go at that.
