The Files OF The Citizen

Continuing its efforts to have
the city government of Key West
prepare this municipality for a
future which will be unrivaled
only if intelligent city laws are
enacted which will enhance the
gifts of nature. The Key West
WOman's Club has taken the mat
ter up; civic bodies have taken
the matter up; the city govern
ment has discussed the matter.
The time is drawing near when
the matter must come up for deci-
sion and possibly given ample
trial before the Oversee Road is a
reality.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-09-30

Massachusetts democrats have the satisfaction of knowing their party organization has been extended in- to 344 of the states 355 cities and towns. Active local democratic com mittees have taken, over some for. mer republican citadels.
 This state called one strike on the new deal in August, 1935. Charles F. Risk, republican, then won Q special election in the first con- gressional district which nine month sbefore had gone democratic by majority of 10000. Risk won by l3,000 votes after a campaign in which he denounced "the new deal, lock, stock and barrel."
 OBrien boiled 37,042 Sticker votes in the democratic primary: 5894 in the republican He and many others believe as many more votes were rejected as invalid, The vote was accepted as a. test of Father Coughlin's strength in Massachu- sets and 1t demonstrated that the priests following is made up of about six potential democrats to one potential republican. That was the worst Kind of news for demo- crats.
 Of this primary phenomena. John Bantry wrote in the demo- cratic Boston Post:
 Dark shadows are in the offing. The followers of Father Coughlin are not alone opposed to. President Roosevelt but to all who are sup porting him.
 "The strength of the adherents of Father Couhlin--those who might be expected to go. through to a finish in opoSition to Roosevelt candidates might be conservatively estimated at 10000 though it is highly possible that this is a decided under estimate. The democratic strength is at it's lowest ebb. Pres ident Roosevelt, due to the bitter attacks upon him by Father Cough An,s is weaker than he will be on election day"
 If Father Coughlin has 10000 anti Roosevelt followers in Massa- chusetts, the O'Brien primary ra-

POLICE CHANGES

Platoon lnaugurates New Revolving Shifts ! Transfers Announced

Platoon c, the night shift, will work. three hours overtime tomor- row morning when the new system of hours for the police department becomes effective, Going on duty at 8 o'clock tonight, the platoon will continue work until 2 o'clock instead of 4 as usual. At that time, Platoon A, the morning shift, will begin the new schedule. Night platoon mem bers will be compensated by time of later. W
 Sergeant and patrolmen in charge of squads will be given a routine change in beats when the new changes take effect. Sergeant Charles Nolan, who has been on duty on East Main street, will be assigned to North Main street from Exchange place to Lakewood, a beat formerly held by Patrolman, John Hayes, who will be given the East Main street beat.
 Other transfers include: Patrol man William Feeley, from Bank street. to Baldwin street: Patrolman Walter Ahearn from West Main to South Main street: Patrolman Wil- liam Santora from Baldwin street to Bank street; and Patrolman Pa- trick McCabe from South Main street to West Main street.

tion indicates that 83,00O of them are drawn from the democratic reg istration and only 1000 from the list of potential republican voters. That would be enough to defeat MT Roosevelt in Massachusetts if all other Bay state factors were static. The 1932 vote was 800,149 to '736.- 959. MT. Roosevelt's plurality was 63, ,189.
 The Coughlin oBrien primary was not alone in alarming demo- cratic campaigners. Democrats were out-voted by republicans on that occasion. The aggregate of votes cast for republican candidates for senatorial nomination was 42,564 and for the democrats, 387.964. Pr:- mary votes are not conclusive but they frequently foreshadow election day returns.
 Labor offers democrats better news. The Massachusetts State Federation of Labor, for instance, claims 10000 voting memberGs At federation headquarters I was told the 100000 should be counted for Roosevelt. Last. August the state confederation convention endorsed MT. Roosevelt in resolution pre- ceded by series of whereases defi- nitely critical of "these econimic baronS."

tober-small state, short campaign. Both Mr. Roosevelt and Gov. Landon will invade Massachusetts in Octo- Der with results which cannot be foreseen.
 What democrats of southeastern New England devoutedly hope is that Father Coughlin neither will follow nor precede MT. Roosevelt into this area. In the September Massachusetts primary Father Coughlin demonstrated what his well l-organized national union for social justice can accomplish at the polls. The NUSJ backed Thomas c. OBrien, 8 Boston lawyer, for nom nation to the senate. He was barred from primaries but NUSJ precinct workers Swarmed the polls with stickers bearing his name to be affixed to the ballots to which he had been denied access. 8'
 In Rhode Island Father Cough lin is estimated to influence 25,000 to 10000 votes. T was given one estimate of 15,000 but that appears to be too low. His NUSJ has ap- proximately 3o,000 signed up niem- bers ill this state. Here, as in Bos. ton, the priest is sponsor of pres- idential ticket in itself at best only moderately attractive to New Eng land voters. His candidate is Will liam Lemke, North Dakota agarian, of the newly organized ,.'union party of the United States" The yice-presidential candidate is o. Brien of the recent Massachusetts senatorial primary. It is Coughlin who makes the union party 8 factor

in New England.
 Standing hot and happy before his NUSJ convention in Cleveland last August, the priest exhorted his followers to go home and fight the political wars, norninally in behalf of Lemke, actually against the new deal.
 "Wear out shoe leather" he urged the thousands of delegates assem- bled in Cleveland's public hall, and Rhode Island privates in the NUSJ army are doing just that. They are making a house-to- house canvass which scarcely can fail to damage new deal election prospects and aid Gov. Landon. In Rhode Island the ratio of Coughlinites is estimated at seven democrats to three re- publicans.
 Infboth Rhode Island and Mass achusetts the Townseld old age pension movement may aid the democrats as .Coughlinites will aid the republicans. Democratic lead- CTS believe the Townsendites are preponderantly republican. They hope they are as numerous as the followers of Father Coughlin all though there is scant evidence ot that. For what 1t is worth, how ever, the Townsend movement must be set. down as unfayorable to the republicans, provided the pensioners follow Dr. Francis E. Townsend in supporting 1Lefnke against either major candidate.
 As the, parties come to the. line in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, the republican state organizations appear to be in conditions of com parative peace and anlity, 100 per cent behind their presidential ticket. A bitter party quarrel centera around Gov. James M. Curley, dems ocratic senatorial candidate. in Massachusetts. The; < gubernatorial nomination is causing party trouble in Rhode Island. A state conven- tion will award that honor on Oct. 6 and it is more likely than not that i'll feeling already engendered will carry over into the campaign to hurt the democratic cause.

 Providence. R. I.,l Sept. 3O-In Rhode Island and Massachusetts Father Charles E. Coughliin has found the range with his anti Roosevelt barrage. 1A
 Those two states went democratic in 1928 and for President Roosevelt in 1882. The man who takes them wins New England because they, cast 21 electoral votes to 20 cast by the four other states of this area.
 Some of the credit must be as- signed to Father Coughlin if Gov. Ali M. Landon wins Massachusetts and Rhode Island this year. and there is evidence that his following spill oyer into Connecticut to the advantage of republicans. 4
 Taking account of the anti-new deal movement led by the Michigan priest, dissension within democratic state organizations and the trend away from Mir. Roosevelt which has been undeniable for IS months, Gov. Landon becomes the favorite in Massachusetts and Rhode Island betting. But the campaign hardly has begun in the former state and the barrier will not ke up in Rhode Island until the second week in Oc-

 FINE TRIBUTE
Recalls Affection Held for Late Boys Club Direc-

 It follows:
 Nicholas Combellack of Water bury, Conn, known throughout the state of Connecticut as Pop, . died suddenly on June g at the age of 7S years, at Falmouth, England, while visiting the section where he had spent much of his boyhood. MT. Combellack spent 47 years of his life in Boys Club work, the first two years as an assistant at the New Haven Boys Club and the remainder as exc cutive of the Waterbury Boys Club, to which he came very soon after the organization was formed and which under his leadership became one of the leading well fare agencies of the state.
 He was a probation officer in the juvenile court of Waterbury for 31 years, from the establish ment of the court until his re- tirement from that ofnce two years ago.
 Men from all walks of life paid tribute to him at the time of his death, many of them expressing appreciation of his influence upon them during their early years. Public tributes, acclaimed him as the most useful citizen of the city in which he had spent so many years of service. In his passing the Boys Club Movement has lost another one of the veterans who helped establish from small be- ginnings the standards and tecf- niqueS upon which Boys Clubs have been operating throughout the country.
