tion was carried and MT. Tracy's name was forgotten.
 Machine Jolted Again
 Another jolt struck Chairman Palomba and the rest of the Pape steamroller men. Former Alderman John w. Jaeger arose to nominate Thomas Bane for city sheriff. MT. Bane, he declared, withdrew from the race for the nomination of reg istrar when a primary; battle was almost ready to break last week. He confirmed the report of the Democrat that a primary contest was in the works. He said that MT. Bane withdrew his candidacy for the nomination of registrar but was willing to bow to the "wilp' of his party and take the nomination for city sheriff.
 Alderman Kingston immediately moved that further nominations be closed. Next came Attorney Mau- rice Gruskay. He nominated At- torney DeCicco for tax collector. once more Alderman Phillips put the clamp down by moving 7 that further nominations be closed.
 More Worries For Bosses
 Even the minor places on the city ticket were a source of worry to the republican leaders. When Joseph Stanley and Anthony Pet rillo were nominated for the board of relief, Alderman Phillips jumped to his feet and moved the closing of nominations. The steamroller continued to roll.
 AH ~tp.n fn1 Rns the board of Bronson Library Agents. Alderman Phillips repeated his almost worn-out phrase T move that the nominations be closed" Nobody sought to oppose MT. Coe but the Pape steamroller was taking no chances on having a split up in it's ranks.
 Knowing that battle was in the making on the nominations for the board of aldermen, Chairman Pa- lomba declared a brief recess as he and the other Pape engineers went into a huddle. Business was finally resumed and Attorney Miller took the floor. In apologetic words he told the delegates that the hour was getting late and that it would speed things up if a committee was named to pick the slate of alder- men.
 Lynch Plea Failed
 Delegate Lynch of the fifth ward suggested that each ward be given the right to pick it's own aldermen. His plea fell on the deaf ears of Attorney Palomba once more and the town chairman named Stewart Judd. Mrs. Gertrude Keenan. George Towle and Mrs. Cora Ross q committee to pick the slate. The names of the nominating commit tee were on his desk and he read the names out as he named the committee.
 Just two minutes elapsed and the committee had completed the important task of picking eight al- dermen to represent the republi- cans of the city on the only law- making body of the municipality. As predicted by the Waterbury Democrat, g. o. p. leader Alderman Charles Schmidt was cut down. So was Alderman Simeon Nichols. AL derman Liebeskind was chopped off the board but given place on the board of education.
 Aldermen Phillips, Dubois and Kingston saved their necks by swinging into the Pape machine. The new aldermen nominated were Pasquale Perriello, William Kol- beck, William Cambigue and Will liam Loeffler. Alderman Joseph Wilhelm was retained but only af- ter a bitter pre-convention fight.
 The resolutions adopted at the convention were in the form of q criticism of the present democratic administration. Claim Agent Bailey of the Connecticut Company. who The Waterbury Democrat predicted would not accept the nomination for controller on the Pape hand- picked ticket, issued statement that he was unable to enter the po- litical field at this time due O bus- l iueas dUties.
