The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-11-10

Candidates who ran for of- flee on the six tickets appear ing on the ballots and voting machines on Tuesday were busy today applying for blanks so that they may com- Dly with the state election laws and in record the amount of money they received and ex- pended in the campaign. Those suffessful and those who were defeated must all file their fi- nancial figures and reports from all over the state today indicated that there will be early returns from all those involved in the campaign, seeking public office.
 According to the state law, returns of the candidates for state offices not later than fif- teen days after the polling has been completed. Those seek ing. places in congress must file final returns with the clerks of the senate and house in Washington, ID. C., also. So far the candidates for Congress have filed preliminary reports. Further and final reports are expected to go into Washing ton quickly.
 In view of the fact taht the socialists elected three mem- bers to the state senate, the general feeling has been broad- cast that the trio, holding the balance of power, would seek to dictate the judgeship ap- pointments in the coming 1885 session That the socialists will also demand at least one of the major commisSiOncr-ships, is also felt.
 Mayor Jasper McLcvy of Bridgeport, recognized head Of the democratic socialist organ iZat;on. has come out with the statement that the socialist senator will probably demand abolition of the present method of selecting minor court judges and present bill establishing a merit system. This stand would keep the so- ciaIists out of any judgcship deal.
 At least, Governor Cross has been advocating q change fir the present system of appOint- ing judges to the lower courts. The system proposed by Mayor McLevy would abolish the methods now followed by the Judiciary committee of bring ing in minor judgcship res0lu- tiOns not even presented to the house or senate.
 It is understood from good authority that Mayor McIcyy wifi advise a bloc in the sem ate. He will be in Hartford most of the time during the coming session of tbc 1885 scD- ate and will direct the steps of the socialist party in handling proposed legislation.
