Near Waterbury voting will take pliicc, of much interest to the. local political leaders of the major parties, in Watcr- town. WOlcott, Prospect and Cheshire.
 Of special interest here is the outcome of the town c!ec- tion in Watertown in view of the bitter conflict between, the democratic factions headed by Town Chairman Dunn and Ted Harty.

This belief is based on the fact that right In Wa tcrbury tho republicans split wide open on the question of control of tile town committee but, at the same time. are now a unit behind the state g. o. p. ticket.
