The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-09-25

Local and district tickets of all parties in Connecticut are being gradually whipped into shape and, as predicted, by the end of the week all nOmina- tions throughout the state will have been practically decided with the exception of the z. o. D. candidates for the house of representatives. The latter will be chosen on Oc- tober 10th as the result of a vote passed yesterday after noon in Hartford at meeting of the republican state central committee.
 Ex-Mayor Walter E. Batter son of Hartford failed to get the republican congressional nomination in the first district yesterday. He was defeated by Lieutenant-CO Colonel AnsOn T. Cook, Hartford attorney, World War veteran and former state treasurer, 63 to 80. It was not until the 25th of the 29 towns in the first district was called that McCOOlx reached a major- ity. An analysis of the vote shows that the fourth and sev- enth senatorial districts were the territories that put Me- Cook over for the nomination. Incidentally, the seventh sena- toriaI district is represented in the upper branch of the legis- lature by Senator Howard M. Alcorn, son of the gubcrnator- ial nominee. The fourth dis trict is represented by Senator Kenneth Cramer, prominent in state veterans circles.
 As expected, the democratic county convention in Hartford was heated one last night. William A. Seymour of East Granby emerged the victor over seven other candidates. State Central Committeeman Michael BannOn of New Brit ain entered the race as q dark horse at the last minute, nak- ing him the eighth in the race. Seymour was named on the fifth ballot, however, when ex- Mayor Angelo M. Paonessa of New Britain released the dele gates pledged to him.
 Governor Wilbur L. Cross recess appointee, High Sheriff John J. McGarry of Putnam, was denied the shrieva.ty nom- ination yesterday at the dem- ocratic convention in Wind- ham county. Major McGarry was defeated by Napoleon J. FOurnicr of Plainfield, 36 to P. Governor Cross named McGar- ry high sheriff about year ago when the republican in- 'cumbcnt, Sheriff Charles A. Gates, died. Major McGarry is on the governors staH. It
 A petition for place on the ballot was filed yesterday after noon with the secrctary.of- state by the soclalist-labor party. This is the third such petition to be received this year, indicating six parties on the ballot for the state elee- tiOn. The democrats, republi- cans and socialists remain on because of the votes polled in the last election. The other three to gO> on the ballot are the socialist labor; independent citizens and communists. The democrats will occupy top place on the voting machines once more, the republicans will come second and the socialists third. No designation has been made for the other three par ties as yet.
 The democrats of the 18th senatorial district, which takes i'm New London, are looking forward to a fight when the convention takes place tOmor- row night. Councillor Alien B. Lambdin, Mayor Alton T. Min- CT and John w., Sheedy are seeking the nomination.

 Major Smith urged the members of the party to work for the suc- cess of the democratic ticket. MT Beckwith did so, also.

.AUSTRIA'S DRINKS
ESCAPING BOMBERS.
BREWERIES AND DISTILLER,
les FREE FROM ALL ACTS
OF VIOLENCE

VIENNA, Sept. 18.-One of
the peculiarities of Austria's tur-
bulent political situation is that
nobody has bombed a brewery or
dynamited a distiIlery.
Apparently all factions in the
struggle for power have nothing
but goodwill for the producers of
the nations drinks.
Nevertheless the consumption
of alcoholic beverages in Austria
has been falling off at an alarm
ing rate-at least it is alarming
for those financially interested.
In 1929 Austrians downed 1.G
gallons of grain alcohol per cap
tia annually. On the basis of in
complete data it is estimated the
1884 consumption will be no more
than half as much.
Equally alarming (for the
brewers) has been the collapse of
the nations beer thirst from 20.6
gallons for each man, woman and
child, to ming gallons.
The brewers contend it is not
the public appetite that is collap-
sing, but inability to pay a con-
stantlS rising beer tax.
This contention is supported by
the fact that in the case of wine,
on which taxes have been reduced,
an actual increase in consumption
is shown.

OYSTERS In SEASON
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Although oysters are found in
all parts of the world, New York
is the largest market, and the an
nual American harvest exceeds
164, 100000 pounds. -. The Jap
anese were eating them Is cen
turtles before Christ. The
Chinese, too, found them a great
delicacy and sponsored a simple
form of oyster culture 80 Gen.
turtles ago. 1t was Julius
Caesar who carried Briton oysters
back to Rome, packed in sacks of
snow, and when Sallust tasted
them he cried: "The only good l
can see in Britons is that they eat
Oystersw
The Greeks looked upon oysters
as "the perfect prelude to a
meal" -. The Romans called
them the dainty mamma of the
sea-" The Musselmen, "lumps
of delight"
King James cooked his head to
one side and sagely opined: at
was a very valiant man who ven
tured to eat the first raw oyster. "
Pearls found in oysters from
northern waters are utterly worth
less. ''The oyster is the key
to that paradise called the appe-
tite." Paul Whiteman, Ethel
Barrymore, the Prince of Wales,
Helen Hayes, Al Smith, President
Roosevelt and General Balbo can't
turn them down.
Among immOrtals who craved
them were Dickens and Theak-
cray, who used to frequent the

Horace, Cicero and Seneca, by
their own admission, were in

Safe Driving

The automobile accident record
shows that one out of every three
pedestrians killed last year was a
jaywalker.
A jaywalker is pedestrian who
crosses the street between inter
sections, diagonally at intersec-
tions, or pops out from behind
parked cars.
1t is bad practice and against
the law in some cities and states.
Pedestrians must exercise ex-
treme care and obey traffic regu-
lations as well as motorists.
Don't be a jaywalker.

(. O.P. DELEGATES
 MEET FRIDAYP. M.
Will Name Senatorial l Candidate in 10th
 District \

Selection of a candidate to op- pose Joseph H. Lawlor, the pres- ent incumbent, in the 18th sena- torial district, will be one of the major duties of delegates to the senatorial conventions of the 18th and 16th districts in republican headquarters Friday night. It is considered unlikely that Attorney George J. Crocicchia will be defeat ed for the nomination in the 18th district because with the reorgan- ization forces in control, there hardly can be an opposition.
 Attorney Crocicchia has been one of the chief workers in the reor- ganist group and since he an- nounced his candidacy for the post before the recent republican town convention, it Is felt that the bar. rister should be rewarded with the post.
 The 18th district is affording the party leaders plenty of contempla- tion. Long a democratic strong hold, and with Senator Lawlor ap- parently unbeatable, there appears to be Q dearth of candidates will ing to take over the nomination. Among those mentioned for the nomination are Floyd Rasmussen, chairman of the fourth ward re- publican committee and William L. Cambigue, president of the French Canadian club.
 Attorney Crocicchia, should he re ceived the nomination, would be opposed by George c. Culhane, the democratic nominee for state sen ator in the 18th district.

 nomination.
 Lost Close Decision
 Attorney Gorm1ey, who lost out to Congressman Edward Goss of this city by a mere handful of votes two years ago and who was subsequently, denied a seat in the house after he had filed protests with congress, is considered to have strong backing in the valley towns and in Litchfield county, but his support in Waterbury is prob- iematical. It is considered almost certain that Major Smith will re- ceive the votes of Waterbury's 8 delegation at the congressional convention.
 Major Smith has been virtually conceded the nomination over MT Dyer, but the unexpected entrance of the Naugatuck man into the field may cause complications which will throw the Torrington convention into uproarious con- fusion.
 Hogan Withdrew
 The latest development only fur ther confuses a situation which has caused many a headache to demo- cratic party chieftains in this sec. tion. Rep Francis Hogan of Tor rington, member of the motor vehi- cle department staff, was consid- cred as the first nominee but he has withdrawn in favor of running for the state senate. Major Smith and MT Dyer were then the oppos- ing candidates, but now it seems apparent that the Norfolk demo- crat will withdraw and campaign for Gormley.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-09-06

penses of the various government departments in the first year of Roosevelt were $750, 100000 less than in the last year of Hoover. By normal expenses I mean the routine expenditures for services and administration that go on year in and year out; in good times and in bad times. Too often, members of the opposition in ven- turing into the realm of govern ment finances, become all too reck. less for their own or their coun- try's good. They charge to ex- penditures every variety of gov ernment aid. If the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corporation hands a banker two million dollars and takes 1t as security for the loan collateral to the actual present value of two and half or three million dollars, they charge the two million dollars as a govern ment expenditure.
 If a distressed home-owner comes to the governments Home Owners Loan Corporation and ap- plies for a five thousand dollar loan, the government grants it, but takes mortgage for 1t as security Yet, the opposition Jumps all home loans as expenditures. If a farm owner wants to refinance a mort. gage on his farm, he applies tc the Farm, Credit Administration He gives security for what he gets but the republicans would have you believe that the government is on a wild spending spree. If mu- nicipality wants to borrow money for the construction of a water works, the Public Works Admin. istration exacts first legal and collectible obligation from the city yet we are taken to task as reck. less spenders.
 Cites Benefits
 Naturally, there have been ex. traordinary expenditures, which are Jumped under the head of re. lief and civil works. These every right thinking citizen cannot hell but admit were necessary. People were starving; economic chao! faced us; the only humane thing and the only courageous thing tc do was just what President Roose- welt did. But, in considering the fiscal balance sheet of the govern. ment, and I maintain that it is 1T sound condition-let us consider another type of balance sheet.
 The people have had in income s2,000, 100000 more than last year The wage earners have received between two and three billion dol. lars more than last year. More than four million people have beer given work. Business men are do. ing better than last year; conner cial failures are less; finance is or an even keel after the storms o1 1882 and early 1893. Confidence has returned. Business is on the mend.
 Budget Balanced
 I find in connection with the ac tivities of the postoffice depart ment, a very healthy and recurring note of late in increased postal re ceipts. We, of course, have bal anced our budget. We have re moved from the backs of the peo pie of this country a tax burdel that in recent years mounted t as high as one hundred and lift. million dollars a year. If the post office doesn't pay its way, the peo pie have to pay taxes to meet tn deficit. I want to pay tribute t the loyal workers of the posts forces, who have, by their splen ] did cooperation made this resul
