Palomba Explains His Plea To c. o. F.
Former Town Committee Chairman Claims Fusion Candidates Are Not Choice of Rank, File of Repub-
 lican Party in City-=D =Dis0Xu Gulhane Ticket M

Former Republican Town Chalr- man Frederick w. Palomba, one of the several staunch Republican lead- CTS who issued letter today plead- ing for Republicans to disown the Culhane ticket, stated il an in- terview this afternoon his reasons for signing the letter.
 MT. Palomba did not mince his words. In placing his Republican loyalty above the attempted "sell- out" of the party to Independent Democrats, he pleads with every true Republican to frown on the Culhane ticket, because Q vote for Culhane is @ vote to destroy the very structure of the real Republi- can party in Waterbury.
 When interviewed regarding his signature on the letter, which has thrown the Culhane camp into great disorder, MT. Palomba said:
 "The letter explains itself.
 "When the present leaders of the Republican Party which boiled over 15000 votes in the last City election, which incidentally was the highest Republican vote ever cast in any election, when these party leaders find 1t difficult to select a ticket of their own from within their own ranks and are compelled to give its important offices to dissatisfied Democrats, 1t must be concluded that there Is something strange ip Denmark.
 My sympathies are emphatically not in favor of the present so called Republican ticket. Its major candi- dates are not the choice of the rank and file of the Republican Party"
