The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-08-27

There are plenty in and more are cOming-referring, or course, to the race for the g. o. D. gubcrnatorial nomination. The latest one to enter the race, and he starts out, accord- ing to substantial reports, is former utenant-GoveTnor Clifford B. Wilson of Bridge port, we'll known in this city. He announced his candidacy yesterday, complicating fur ther the situation confronting the party leaders. While in the past democrat state conventions have been looked forward to as the storm ones, the z. 0. D. gathering this year promises to eclipse all demo- cratic sessions of the past.
 First of all, former Lieutcn- ant-GOvernOr Wilson is, by en- tcring the field, bound to split up the republican ranks in Fairfield county. Ex-Scnator Albert Lavcry of Bridgeport Is also seeking the subernatorial nomination.. How the Brad. ley-Mackcnzie machine will manage to deliver the Fairfield county delegation in a solid block, as 1t has done herctO- fore, remains to be seen but there Is considcra ole doubt that 1t can be done. now.
 Others in the picture for the nomination., of course, arc States Attorney Hugh M. AL corn of Hartford, States AttOr- ney Arthur NJ. Brown of New London, Louis c. Tolles of South:ngton. Lieutenant Gov crnor Roy Wilcox of Mcriden, former Motor Vehicles Com missioner Robbins B. Stoeckei of Norfolk and Yale and cX- Congressman John Q. Tilson of New Haven. AlcOrn, be- ing "dry". is expected to be given the support of the inde- pendent republican organiza- if nominated. This latter Or- ganization decided at it's state conventOin in New Haven on Saturday not to nominate un- til the 2. o. p. state slate has been picked.
 Several local socialists at- tended the fourth cOngrcssion- al district convention of their party Saturday in South Nor walk. Arnold +. F'reese of Norwalk, secretary of the state organization, was nominated for Congress. Joseph H. Gaff- ney. veteran Bridgeport trade unionist, was nominated for high sheriff of Fairfield cOun- ty. FreeSe has spoken in Wa tcrbury on several occasions and will speak here during the state campaign, it Is cx- pectcd.
 William H. Sault of this city, dean of the congressional sec. retaries of the New England section, has been visiting friends here and in other parts of the state. He is now sec- rotary to Senator F.. c. Wall colt of Norfolk. who Is seek ing reelection this year. Mir Sault first became secretary to the late Congressman George l.. Lilley of this city. He later became secretary to Congress- man John Q. Tilson of New Haven and then at a later date switched to the office of the late Senator George P. Me- Lean of Simsbury. remaining with him for IS years. When Senator Mclean retired, Mir Sault became secretary to Senator Walcott.
 Many democrats here today expressed regret upon receiv- ing news of the death of Mrs Margaret Dwycr. sister of United States Senator Angus tine LOncrgan, in Hartford, on Saturday.
 The Veterans Voters league Of Connecticut has come out with an announcement that 1t has endorsed Lieutcnant-G Gov. crnor Wilcox for the g. o. D. gubernatOrial nomination. The local branch of the league did so some time ago. This was ono of two endorsements an- nOunced over the week end. It was the result of action of 200 delegates of the league who met i'm Stamford on Saturday while the American Legion state convention was going on.
 Meeting in Meridcn. the ex. ecutive committee of the Pu- Iaski Federation of Democratic clubs unanimously endorsed the candidacy of Congressman Francis T.

GrOtOn, during the convention. One. half the New Britain delcga- tiOn to the democratic state convention have also met and decided to pledge their votes to the Mcriden man.
