The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-02-14


 the field in the spring election. P. August Johnson, chairman of the town committee, announced defi- nitely today. He said candidates for warden and some of the bur- gess positions have been lined up already but added he was not yet ready to announce their names.
 We do not feel discouraged over the showing in the fall election" he said. In this election Progress sives in town supported the lnde- pendent Citizens ticket and got comparative handful of votes. He added he did not expect to. make good showing then.
 He is hopeful concerning the spring election, he indicated. "Ths time is. ripe for a good showing.
 He seemed amused by reports the Progressive folded up for good and would not be active this year we have never failed to put in a ticket since we became really ac- tive" he pointed out.
 Political observers do not feel the Progressive party will be a real factor in the town election unless something happens between now and election: It is always possible that q split in democratic ranks vote the Progressive ticket. This has happened in the past and can occur again. In the last few elec- tions the number voting the Pro- gressive ticket has dropped sharp ly.
 It is the task of Democratic leaders now, party members feel, to work to prevent q split. Reports are there will be a fight to oust Frank Green, chairman of the town committee. Some believe the oppo- sition is strong enough to accom- plish this but only the caucuses will tell for sure. However, they point it would probably result in d severe and hectic fight which might injure the Democratic chances for being returned to office, which look quite bright at present.
