The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-04-10

sphere was most unusual Wlth QClleC and harmony prevailing. He declar- ed the record of the administration in the past two years is in his opin- ion above criticism. He pointed to the great program of relief which has been carried on without added expense to the people of Naugatuck. He told the delegates the budget of the departments under the controls of the democratic administration has been more than balanced.
 T believe" the warden said, that the better job you do for the town, the more strength you add to your party. It is an honest administration of affairs which the people desire. We go forth to offer the same pro- gram that has prevailed in the last two years. Our record is open to all people. know they appreciate the efforts we have made in their be- half"
 He thanked office holders and newspapermen who have cooperated with him. Such unity is necessary in carrying on in proper way the functions of borough government. We have men who have been tried and proven honest and efficient. He named the various office-holders and pointed out the democratic mem- bers of the board are well qualified to carry out the duties of their office.
 T pledge my self to carry on af- fairs of the borough in such an open way as to accept criticism if such is necessary.
 In the past we have been able to answer any charges to the full sat- isfaction of the people of this bor- ough the warden stated. In conclu- sion he urged democrats to make an effort to build up strength and create the harmony and unity that is necessary for victory.
 Green Pleased
 Apparently the democrats present replied to this plea for harmony pledges followed in numbers. Chair man Green expressed himself as de- lighted with the harmony at the convention and expressed the hope the entire ticket without exception will be elected. T am particularly pleased that this convention has been harmonious because in only short time you will have another chairman of the democratic party. This perhaps will be the last con- vention I will open as chairman. I thank you and democrats at large for the support you gave me in the past six years have been in office. hope that same support will be given the new chairman when he is selected.
 The one thing remaining is to elect your ticket, MT. Green de- clared, pointing out the work has just begun. Harmony at the conven- tion avails nothing unless you work for the candidates afterWard The republican party is putting up a united front, he warned, and there has been much activity in it recent ly. You can be sure they won't lie down and take a beating" He urged the democrats to work hard and systematically for their ticket.
 Burgess Dinneny said Lets get behind Jackie and put him and the whole democratic ticket across" Burgess Brophy said he wanted to see the ticket elected 100 percent. They earned 1t and are going to have It."
 MT. Kiernan said the second ward will do it's part and predicted a 800 plurality.
 Nolan Not ResentfuI
 Michael Nolan, defeated candidate for burgess in the third ward cau- GUS, dispelled fears of possible bit- terness by stating he will be out to work just as hard for the party as he worked in his own candidacy. Other speakers were Matthew Scul- ly, Young Democrat club president, Peter Meegan and Thomas Dolan. The convention was over about 9:30.
 Nomination is equivalent to elec- ton for the three democratic bur- gesses, for MT. Meegan, MT. Began and MT. St. John. The progressive party, it is believed, will endorse some candidates of the other party, but will not put any candidate in the field. They boiled few votes last year.
 Some observers think that fail ure to nominate Dennis M. Linskey as registrar was due to the fact he was on the losing slate of delegates in the third ward caucus Wednes- day night.
