The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-08-28

 direct primaries and number of residents are disappointed that some action was not taken.
 These claim that considerable con. fusion develops from the caucus system, especially in presidential election years. They also assert that under the direct primary system the individual voter who is not mem. Der of leading factions in either party would have more chance of getting in office.
 They point to recent caucvses. In caucuses of both parties seven dele- gates were selected from each ward to the party convention and then these 2l delegates named delegates | to four important conventions, state, l congressional, senatorial and pro- bate.
 Tn voting for c delegation to one convention, voters were giving | that group the power of naming | delegates Go the three other conven. | tionS. It might he the case that a group favored by one voter to send delegates to one conventoin of whom the voter Approver, might by being elected to the town conven. l ton, name delegates to the three | other conventions, whom the voter would not favor ct all.
 In other words under such Q con- dltion the voter would not have the chance to send As delegates to all four conventions the persons he ap. proved for each.
 Supporters of the direct primary system claim it would give the vot- ter Q better chance to name whom he desires as delegates for the conventions.
 There has been talk tor some time about having democratic caucuses here changed to the direct primary system but 1t has not developed into action. Apparently the controlling | groups In ell wards feel part of then | power might be lost by change.
 Peeved Over Defeat Some bitterness is ruEnored In sec. | oIad ward republican ranks following | the figurative spanking their dele. | gates received in the party conven. ton Wednesday night.
 &SVtV43VSo ATOttk tAdS AASb 0AAQ tAAAEQ ward followed the choice of the party machine in naming delegates to the senatorial convention and prevented Herbert Johnson, second ward leader, from being delegate. MT. Johnson he'd been reported op- posed to nomination of Senator Lynch.
 Reported Bitter
 Just what will develop from it iS not known but indications are the second wArdeFS will not take 1t ly. ang down. It was reported MT. Johnson in private talks after the convention bitterly protested the acc ton to party leaders. AGr. Johnson was named Q dele. | gate to the state convention, some. | thing in which he IS not particu- larly interested and apparently party leaders felt he couldn't do much harm there.
 But he was politely but firmly | kept out of the convention in which | he was most interested. MT. John. | son has been active in republican 1 circles for many years and held the office of superintendent of public welfare for several years.
 He has always worked hard for tho party and his colleagues in the second war feel that this should have been taken Into consideration | Just what Mir. Johnson could have done at the convention remains doubtful as the other three whom the second warders supported for delegates were also supported by the party machine. This is the second rift in the party | lineup this year. Last spring opposi. | ton to the leaders occurred but did not break out when the leaders 1 of the revolt saw they were out numbered at the caucus.
 However, some look on the recent l convention As an indication that any rugged individualism" efforts | will Do promptly squelched.
