The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1936-09-11
They Have Winning Ways

Democrats concluded one Of the most
harmonious state conventions held Of re-
cent years yesterday in burst of glory.
The victorious ticket of 1884 was endorsed
in fashion that indicated that the eff
forts of the several office-holders in the
past two years to fulfill their duties as
servants of the state are recognized by the
party that first placed confidence in
them two years ago. That this same
confidence will be exemplified by ballots
on November is not taking too much for
granted. Surely in this state Of steady
habits ability and enterprise are appre-
ciated.
From Governor Cross down, including
our own stalwart, Mayor Frank Hayes,
the ticket is splendidly representative Of
the average man and woman OF this
state. It proved itself to be that in 1884.
We feel quite sure that In the campaign
to come the same traits will be upper
most as they were two years ago. That
an even more ambitious and forward
looking program is planned by the demo-
Gratis this fall can be seen In the platform
that was so readily accepted and APP
proved by the delegates. It may bespeaK
Gov. Cross hand, but If so that enhances
1t rather than dims its lustre.
We could write on each individual
member of the state ticket, but that
really should not be necessary today. The
state has seen each man in action IN the
past two years. It knows his faults; we do
not claim perfection for any public
office-holder. But 1t likewise must know
that much has been accomplished under
democratic control Of state offices that
was not possible In the old days OF repub-
lican "bossism," which met with such a
hearty rebuke even at this late date IN
the republican state convention just
concluded.
We presume there will be an effort
made to introduce many national issues
into the state campaign. That was evil
dent as soon as the g. o. p. convention
keynoter had finished his talk Tuesday
night. But democrats need not depend
on the administration record to raise
or lower their colors. In their own right
they have plenty of issues to debate and
many proud omplishments to record.
A program was initiated six years ago by
Gov. Cross that must be finished. It re-
/ duires the election Of democratic
ticket, complete from top to bottom to do
that. And may we urge a respectful con-
sideration by the voters OF democratic
members Of the Legislature, long a
stumbling block in the path Of Gov. Cross
and his democratic aides at Hartford.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1936-09-11

denomination OF Governor Wilbur L.
Cross yesterday at Eastern Point marks
the fourth successive time this honor has
been accorded him, q distinct and unique
one in democratic annals in Connecticut.
Should he be returned to office In Novena-
Der a similar honor will have been be-
slowed Oddly enough each time the
governors name has been presented to
the democratic delegates, 1t has been by
different person. Yesterday the honor
of nominating Governor Cross was given
to Attorney General Edward DAILY. TWO
years ago our present democratic National
Committeeman David E. FitzGerald per-
formed the honors. Prior to that or IN
1882 it was Kenneth Wynne, now Judge
of the superior court, but then the COVER
nor's executive secretary. And IN 1880
when Governor Cross started down the
"glory road" of politics, the late Phil
Troup, whose death occurred only few
short days ago, introduced the candidate.
It's too bad that Mr.. Troup was not spared
to see "Uncle Toby" renominated for his
fourth term.

Time may still march on, here as else
where, but no longer will the local fire
department headquarters respond to calls

date has just gone out to the public. The
danger Of holding up emergency calls for
the fire engines Is too great nowadays.
Thus another local agency puts 1t squarely
up to the public to take care OF itself.
The number Of concerns that will furnish
one with free time at any time Of the day
must be at new low, which, Of course,
should bring no complaint. In a city as
famous for its watches and clocks as
Waterbury, there should be no need to
rely on others for the correct time.

Real life launches another romance.
The four-masted schooner Constellation
sailed from New York harbor the other
day with jolly crew of 200 adventures
to find sunken treasure in 40 fathoms
Of water SO miles off the Virginia Capes.
It is said to consist of the crown jewels
of the Emperor Macmillan of Mexico,
along with gold and silver bullion and
vast weight Of copper, estimated from
$4,000,000 to 100000.
The outfit of this crew represents the
last word in scientific treasure-fishing.
There are diving suits of steel and copper
weighing $50 pounds apiece, and diving
bell, all fit to stand the pressure and pro-
tect workers at depth of 1000 feet.
There is an ample oxygen supply with the
requisite pumps, also telephones for con-
tinuouS communication with the bottom.
The usual feature of this quest is that
the wreck itself is not ancient. The treas
ure is supposed to have been sunk as
recently as 1911, when wealthy Mexicans
were fleeing with it after the fall of Presi-
dent Diaz. The searching vessel, however,
depending wholly on sails for power, is
properly old-faShioned. Good luck to the
treasure-hunters and the men financing
it! They could doubtless make more
money in breakfast cereal or soap or pig
iron, but there is no romance in them,
and this mechanical and regimented
world needs romance.

What Was He Doing?

The new national pastime that the
Waterbury Democrat revealed IN Its col
unnns last night - What Am Doing?-
has nothing on the expressions and an
tics Of many leading republicans Of the
state today as they still contemplate the
actions and words Of their state chair
man, ]. Henry Roratack, both during and
Immediately following the cop. state
convention. Mr. Roraback, to put 1t
mildly, took the convention off Its feet
1--WE don't think 1t got back on them)
when he publicly apologiZed to Governor
Cross and placed him on a pedestal, from
which even republican might hesitate
to remove him.
But If this uncalled for praise Of Gov
ernor Cross and his conduct IN office,
coupled with an illogical attempt to blame
events Of the last few years on q non
sympathetic democratic Legislature, was
nervous disorder producing, what was
the state chairman's visit to the demo-
cratic convention In Eastern Point We'd
nesday night? Republicans are laughing
IL off and explaining 1t off In various
ways. But out Of the corners Of their
mouths they are saying things to them
selves that are not for publication.
This friendly attitude of State Chair
man Roraback and his camaraderie with
Governor Cross, they maintain privately,
Is ok. at any time Of the year save
campaign days when the state chairman
Of the party opposing the governor OF
the state ought to be preparing to GUST
this latter individual. The truth Of the
matter seems TO be that Mr.. Roraback
doesn't like to remain on the losing side
any longer. Perhaps that's why he was
associatIng with Governor Cross. How
ever. mere association won't turn the
trick this fall. The republicans didn't
unset the democrats two years ago; we
doubt II they can this year, even with
Fir gamble on the national ticket TO
Aid them.
