The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-05-01

The final presentation of the op- eretta "The Sonbonnet Girl" will be offered tonight at 8:15 in the Salem Lutheran church hall. It scored a decisive hit when presented last night with about 125 attending.
 The cast consisted of Misses Ethel Salmonson, Ruth Anderson, Ruth Gabrielson, Mrs. Joseph Noyack, Gustav Gisslander, Jane Gisslander, David Anderson, Willis Peterson, Mrs. Miles Berry, Idolf Olson, Mrs. Mrs Wallace Johnson, Conrad Rohs, Mrs. Elmer Sanford, Arthur Lorentzson and Mrs. Adolph Nell son.
 A meeting of the democratic town committee is scheduled for 7:15 to- night in town hall. Final details for work Monday, election day, will be discussed.
 COP. Rallies
 The republicans are planning @ rally tonight at 8 o'clock in Christo- foro Colombo hall in Little Italy" and also plans rallies Sunday in Union City. These will be in St. Georges Lithuanian hall, 2:30; Mil itary hall, 3:30; and Chamber of Commerce building, AIS.
 A brush fire near the osborn property on New Haven road was extinguished by local firemen yes- terday. This was the only fire her yesterday.
 Polls Open Monday
 Polls will open on Monday, elec- ton day at 10 o'clock in the morn- ing and will close at D. m. This is on the assumption the reader, like most residents of the town, is on daylight saving time now. Un- der standard time the hours are 9 a. m. to 5 D. m.
 Each party will hold a rally to- night, the democrats planning ono for 8:l5 at Millville library and the republicans to hold one in Chris toforo Colombo hall at 8 o'clock to- night for residents of Little Italy,.
 Although the main arguments of both parties will be revealed to- night and at other rallies over the weekend, 1t iS a known fact that leaders of both parties are doubtful of the efficacy of the rallies. They feel that possibly a few voters will be won over to their cause, but the fact that in recent years they are holding them so late in the cam- paign, backs up the belief they feel that most voters have made up their minds on how they will vote long before the rally is held.
 But no matter what the argu- ments are the election seems to center down to which person the people wish to have in charge of their affairs here, Warden John J. Sheridan or Victor A. Anderson. The only other contests are the one be- tween Francis Anthony Mariana, democrat, and Francis J. O'Connor, republican, for the office of treas urer, and the selection of Select- men. The three candidates for selectmen getting the highest votes will be declared elected.
 Two republicans and two demo- crats have been nominated 50 one of those nominated will lose out. Other persons nominated for other offices are sure of election.
 One member of each party has been nominated for auditor and each will be elected, one member of the board of education has been nominated by each party and two altogether are to be chosen for a three-year term, and eight baliffs will be selected. Each party has nominated four.
 Each party has nominated one registrar and both will be elected.
