The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-08-13

city state or national election. The league has introduced tickets of delegates to the vari- Ous conventions in all the Hartford wards. This means a fight. The league members alleged that Spellacy and the regular organization are trying to gain control of all the dele gates.
 And now the Spellacy forces have answered back in their usual way. "Traitors''-thfs is the brand they have put on the league members. They charge that the league is re- ceiving financial support from the same group that support ed Mayor Beach and his rcpub- lican running mates in last falls city election. Town Chairman Ernest Perry charged over the weekend that the leagues "pretended support of Governor Cross and President Roosevelt is only lip service" and that they will take their orders from the g.o.p. town committee and support ex-Mayor Walter Patterson for congress on the g.o.p. ticket. Incidentally, there is a fight likely between Patterson and Colonel Anson T. McCook for the g.O.p. congressional nom- inatiOn in the first district.
 That Century Milstead, for mer famous Yale tackle, will be the democratic candidate for state senator in the 14th district, now seems assured. Naugatuck is a part of this dis trict and so is Wolcott and Prospect. Nfilstead will have as his g.o.p. opponent, no doubt, the perennial senator from West Haven, John Lynch, brother of Democratic County Com missioner A. Sidney Lynch. The residents of Orange, which is a part of the town of West Haven, are making demand that they be given some repre- sentation in the makeup of the slate of candidates from the town this year. In past years the West Haven demo- crats have "hogged' all the honOrs CD. So far the republic cans have been successful in having republicans elected to the senate and house.
 And speaking of Wolcott be- ing part of the 14th district, it appears that the Young Re- publican club out there has decided to busy itself with putting up candidates for less CT positions, also. Therefore Howard Kraft and George Dy- son have been put forth as candidates for the offices of cOnstables. Every year six con- stables are elected. It means that a fight will be waged to force two of the present four g.O.p. cOnstables to step aside. The present incumbents are Robert Grant, William klitka, Howard Mott and Alfred HomeWood.
 Michael Carroll, former member of the local democrat ic town committee and now a resident of WatertOwn, is be- ing prominently mentioned for the nomination of representa- tive on the democratic ticket this fall. He ran two years ago and made an excellent show ing. The democrats or the ad- joining town held an outing yesterday afternoon and politi- cal talk was very plentiful.
 MiddIetowA democrats will have a bitter fight Thursday night when the party caucuses take place. Two factions are fighting over who will be named delegates to the states and other conventions. The re. gular organization is being op- posed by q group headed by Judge Leonard O. Ryan. To date all efforts to bring about rcacc have failed and the bat tie will he on Thursday eye- ming. At the same time former Representative Willi am M. CitrOn of Middlet0wn, who is being mentioned for the nOm- nation of cOngressman-at large, is receiving more and more support. The HaddaIn democrats have now endorsed him. Attorney Citron has not yet announced himself formally. In New Britain, too, democratic factions were get ting their artillery ready for Thursday nights caucuses.
 That State Senator John c. Blackall of Hartford is sure to receive the unanimous support for renominati0n from the democrats of his district is now clearly indicated. The newly formed Democratic league has issued an endorsement of him. He Is satisfactory to the regu- lar organization. The league, though, will not support Scna- tor Cornelius D. Shea of the third senatorial district in Hartford, Senator Shea, a dem Ocrat. was a member of the "deaf" on judgeships in the last session of the senate :. The league is backing Attorney Leon Riscassi for the nOmina- ton. Tonight, however. Scna- tor Shea will address q gath- ering of democrats righ. in At. tOrney Riscassi's home ward.
