The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-11-05

was expressed LoQay Dy lea0lng democrats at a published report that local democrats will cut J. Joseph Smith of Waterbury, can didate for congress, at the election tomorrow because of alleged cut ting of the Naugatuck candidate for congress, Judge Martin Gorm- ley two years ago.
 That report Is nor true, said Dennis Carroll, leader of one strong faction in the first ward. Judge of Probate D. Emmett Shea, leader of another faction which was victorious at recent caucuses, also denied this report. Both denied rumors that dissatis- faction with the caucuses will cause some to split their tickets.
 All of the first ward democrats have been working hard for Smith regardless of factions, said MT. Carroll. We have joined the Smith for-CongresS club, he said. It was pointed out that Atty. Smith at the rally Saturday night, indicated he had received much help and ad- vice from Judge Gormley and the two were cooperating.
 It is not a question of who will win the borough election here which democrats wonder about. They are confident of winning. a They wonder just how their ma jority will be.
 Preparations for it are nearly complete. The election machines have been set up in the borough courtroom. They were inspected by Frank Jenners yesterday.

 Naugatuck, Nov 5.-Naugatuck democrats were outo-day to do their utmost to fulfill the predic- tion made by Governor Wilbur L. Cross at the big democratic rally held in Tano's hall Saturday night. At that time Governor Cross said that in 1880 Naugatuck went demo- cratic in the state. election by 470 votes, it went democratic in the na- tional election by 700 votes in 1882 and his year it should go democra- tic by 1000 votes, he said.
 The concluding rallies of the party were held Sunday, two in the afternoon in Union City and one last night in Little Italy.
 ''If you don't want to return to the Old Deal there is nothing for you to do except vote the straight democratic ticket" Governor Cross said Saturday. We are gradually moving upward, he said. The young voters can see nothing in the republican policies, he said, and are swinging to the democratic party.
 He referred to the "disgraceful attitude" of the republican party toward the New Deal as it affects this state. A vast sum for relief has been received and only re- gently steps were taken which will mean another million dollars worth of food. clothing and other forms of relief will come to this state for those out of work.
 He rapped the republicans for calling a man out of work seek ing aid "a pauper''. To call these men paupers is something very dreadful, he stated.
 The milk question IS Stlll not settled and probably won't be un- til we drink more milk. However, he said. it is really serious prob lem which We must work out under a progressive liberal ideals of the New Deal.
 Reorganization of milk distribu- tion is needed, he said. Welfare and relief work, getting rid of sweat shops in the state and bringing the old age pension to the attention of the voters so the pres- sure of public opinion made the republicans endorse 1t, he listed as some of the accomplishments of the democrats in Connecticut. He referred to the Absolute and com plete dictatorship" of J. Henry Roraback over the republican par ty in Connecticut and said: Tt can. be Justified to have the same max head of the public utilities corpora ton and the republican organiza- ton.
 He said he hears the W. c. T. U.
