The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-05-29
Quite Natural

QulCe NaCuT0A
 The Republican explains It's re- flisal to accept the truth of Dei1l- ocratic party solidarity in Connec. ticut, which the FitzG Gerald dinner demonstrated, by saying that's nasty way the Republicans have. And yet there's something to be said for the degraded creatures, when you consider the vehement antipathy which Democratic lead- CTS have evinced in times past to. wards each other, and Democrats consistent record for feeding fat their ancient intra-party grudges." This cannot be the same RepuD" lican which Is dedicated to the cause of human uplift and which is always eager to lend Q helping hand to the sinner who is trying to shake off his habitual sinsI Why drag up the mistakes of the past? Why mention the vehement antiquities of leaders and the fat- feeding of ancient intra-party grudges? Above all, why should the editor of the Republican be- come an overnight victim of the vice he most abnors, betting, ana express his willingness to lay 9 wager "that even when locked m an ostensibly fond embrace rival Democrats have g wary eye out for what the pugilistiC gentlemen call "a sucker punch? It is to be feared his political blind-spot does not permit him to recognize that Connecticut Democracy has abandoned the error of the past; that 1t realizes the value of unity; and that the bygone vehement antipathies of its leaders and the fatness of It's ancient intra-party Rrudges have been taken over. with increased vehemence ana added adipose tissue, by the Re- publican party in the state.
 H'yah, Freddie?
 It looks from here as if the ed- itor of the Republican is q trite more than just stubborniy t1cred- ulous of Democratic harmony. There is e glint of green-eyeo Jealousy in his doubting glance.
 aAlI seems infected that th' in-
 footed spy
 As all looks yellow to the jaun-
 diced eye"
 He wishes, apparently, to see Democratic hatchet buried In Democratic skull and hopes to ma a Democratic knife searching for Q Democratic back in which to sheathe itself. Naturally he real" izes that a party dis-united caii- not be successful and the realiza- ton is born of bitter experience. He remembers the support rem dered by Connecticut's g.o.p. to Hugh M. Alcorn in his ill-fated scamper for the governors char two years ago. And the more re cent proof of the results true har- mony and unanimity of spirit can bring about as demonstrated by the Waterbury Republican Town Committee. It is Q pity he kept Chairman Frederick Palompe in Ignorance of the vocabulary ot s'pugiIistic gentlemen" and failed to warn him of the danger of re- ceiving "a sucker punch" while in "the ostensibly fond embrace" or the rulers of local Republican, ism. Not only was he reEniss m not putting Freddie wise to what he might expect but he was false to his responsibility as 8 second when he forgot to tell MT. Falom- ha to duck. The effect of s"Thc sucker punch" taken at the trtist- ing ex-chalrman of the Waterbury Republican Town CDnnmittee will be longer wearing off than any one ever pulled by . Democratic xist against a Democratic jaw.
