'StOp Roosevelt" Failed Here


 Tuesdays concentrated but futile effort upon the part of the local republican party to wrestle Waterbury out of the hands of the democrats was but pre- Jude to the yet one more futile effort of getting Roosevelt in '36. "Stop Roosevelt" was the password during the recent portionate avalanche of republican votes not witnessed here since the days of real rugged republican opposition in Waterbury.
 However, inasmuch as A formidable opposition was brought out at the polls Tuesday by a campaign that resorted to every trick known to the trade, the repub- lican party is not going to "stop Roose- welt" in Waterbury much less the nation in '36. Franklin Delano Roosevelt is as good as elected today with thirty-six to forty states credited to his column. Whether he takes or does not take Connec- ticut is immaterial to the general scheme of things, as it now presents itself That, however, will be no fault of Waterbury, who, as in the past, has enjoyed it's vic- tories with the rest of the winners.
 In passing the word "Stop Roosevelt" and snapping the whip. at this early date a frantic effort of desperation on the part of the old conservative republican die-h4fds here and throughout the coun- try is evidenced. It is the final feeble effort of the old moneyed system to regain it's hold on the country. In word it is the last line opposition to the new order of social reforms that have been introduced and perfected under the first administration of President Roosevelt.
 Here in the East, New England espe- cially, the new order has met with the strongest opposition. While it may not be quite as bad as someone credited MT. Farley with expressing it, when they claimed he said, "the United States be- gins west of the Hudson" still this sec tion has held out the longest against the President So, as we said above, whether the six New England states electoral votes are credited to the president in '36 will have little or no effect upon the general result. The new order of things assures him of another term and possibly a third, if he desires it.
 The reason for it all, and the die-hards are the last to realize it, is that the "man-in-the-street" has finally been recognized. As Mayor Hayes so aptly expressed it in one of his prediction addresses, the millions of dollars that the government used to pour into the coffers of the wealthy are today in far wider distribution being diverted to the pockets of the "man-in-the-street" It has awakened in him the hitherto forgotten man., realization that, small as he may be, he is cog in the wheels of the new system President Roosevelt was mot stopped" here Tuesday, neither will he be year from Tuesday. The old republican party shot it's bolt in an effort to do it, and will continue in that condition until it reorganizes itself in accordance with the wishes of the people, not the bosses Them days are gone forever.

TERRYVILLE PLAIN DEMOCRAT DISAGREES WITH OUR
 CORRESPONDENT
Terryville, Conn.,, October 2, 1895.

Terryville, Conn.,,
 October 2, 1885.
 Editor of The Democrat:
 Having watched with interest the predictions and forecasts of your local correspondent, MT. Ryan, on the town election held Monday, may I have the valuable space of your column to express the opinion of one democrat who has seen the democratic party grow from a very small number to where it has be- come the major party in state and national elections in this town in the past 20 years. It is very evil dent from your local correspondents forecast that he was very much out of touch with the local political situation after the defeat which the democratic party went down to yes- terday when only 200 straight demo- cratic votes were cast. It is very plain to some of the old time demo- crats that either faction in the party, namely the Moylan group or the Haase group is willing to sac rifice the welfare of the whole democratic party in the town over political patronage, namely the ap- pointment of postmaster and the election of a few grand jurors and constables. It would be interesting to hear, if he were alive, the opinion of the late James Emmett who served as chairman of the demo-. cratic town committee for years and was one of the democrats who helped build up the party regard less of party caucus fights, or of Charles Blocker of Plymouth or Dan Hurley of Terryville, a former chairman of the town committee who were successful in putting across the first democratic repre- sentative the town of Plymouth elected in 35 years and carried the town in both elections for Presi- dent Wilson in 1912 and 1916, and also gave such men as the late Congressman William Kennedy and present Superior Court Judge P. B. O'Sullivan substantial majorities when they were elected to congress when some of our present day democrats were advocating social ism, republicanism or other isms. Very truly yours,
 JOHN REDEMKO.

A Thought for Today
Only One Purpose

There can hardly be any doubt now in the mind of the average man in this talr community of ours that the Waterbury Republican-A American has little regard for Mayor Frank Hayes or his standing in both Waterbury and the state. Time and again he has been needlesSly Sub- iected to undue criticism. His private life has been very thoroughly gone into ana certain traits made public property. All for one purpose! And this purpose was not the qualification of His Honor.
 The triumph of the Hayes administra- tion at the polls Tuesday was another example. We actually wonder if Mayor Hayes swon that day. If you read the papers that cater to four out of every five English-speaking persons, you'd be 1n- clined to think that the democrats had been defeated. A coalition of forces accomplished this rout, it seems And Mayor Hayes becomes minority mayor, an expression coined in the Waterbury Republican and quite obviously sent out over the AP wires
 This minority mayor business is brought about by adding the votes that were cast for all other mayoralty cand1- dates on the several tickets. By virtue of this we presume if the tables had been tufned and Major Burial elected by the figures given Mayor Hayes he would have been minority mayor, but not in the eyes of those who see but one way. As matter of fact the votes cast for the inde- pendent-democratic, socialist, and com nunistic candidates for mayor can be counted against Major Burrall, too
 The Pape papers, though, vent their disapproval and their unwillingness to admit they were licked in knock-down- and-drag- -em-out fight by claiming that every vote that didn't go for Mayor Hayes was cast against him. Votes aren't counted that way. They merely figure in the column in which they are placed. Mayor Hayes total was the largest. He was the winner over four other candi- dates. That usually convinces most people.

REGULAR DEMOCRAT GIVES VIEWS ON THE CITY
 ELECTION

Waterbury, Conn.
 Oct. 3, 1895. Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 The Worlds series is past as also the city election. Just so much wa ter over the dam. The 1talo-Ethi- opian fracas will now get its proper place m the news headlines.
 Willie Pape and his Sloppy Newspapers" had wonderful time while it lasted. Oh-but what a headache when he starts paying the bills! In order to cover up the ex- pense of the campaign of the In- surrectionists he will have to black ink his corporation ledger and red- ink his private ledger.
 All the world loves lover as also a good loser. Hayes and Leary proved their ability to take it on the chin. The Twins of Leavenworth street (day and nighD hit them with everything they had. In the language of the fight game they broke all the rules by hitting below the belt, kicking in the shins, but ting the head, rabbit punches, and all other types of unsportsmanship.
 They called the Waterbury Demo- crat a tool, a sloppy newspaper, and from time to time insinuated that Democrat readers knew but little of the English language. Weeping Willie and his Weary Twin sheets are now out to belittle the victory of the Democratic party. Calls them a minority party. Well, go to it Will lie old top but remember the old adage, there is no fool like an old fool. The Worlds Worst Newspapers are those which try to guess the news before it happens-but those newspapers that give out the wrong news after it becomes news come under the heading of propagands mongers. Mayor Frank Hayes may never become Governor of Connect. cut but neither will Willie Pape be. come the political boss of Water. bury. Dr(STTY AID nUsNHOrSD An

Story Of Queen Who Ris-
ked Life To Save Her

Jewish citizens of Henderson
vile today are observing the
Feast of Purim, an event which
has been held for centuries in
commemoration of the delivery Of
the Jews from the unjust wrath
of Persian king and the heroism
of his Jewish queen, who risked
her life to save her people.
Not only in Hendersonville but
all over the world, wherever there
are Jewish synagogues and homes,
is the feast being observed, the
story of the queen being related
in the homes and special plays en-
acted in religious schools, COM
munity centers and clubs. The
feast was observed here with SER
vices Monday night at the Syna-
gogue. Jewish stores were not
closed today.
Queen Esther is the central fig
ure of the story. She was the
wife of King Ahasuerus, who
reigned in Persia from 4S5 to AGA
B. c. He himself was good fell
low, who granted the Jews many
privileges and rights after he
freed them from the harsh rule of
Babylonia.
Haman, the kings prime minlsl
ter, did not share his masters Tx
ing for the Jews. He bided his
time until one of the kings royal
debauches, and then purchased a
royal decree for the wholesale
slaughter of all the Jews. His rea-
sons were that '"their laws were
different from those OF every
other people, neither did they keep
the kings laws ,.
