rife handicap, they were, through their efficient government, con- istently reducing the tax rate, until it is now at its lowest level since 1922!
 T am honored to have been named on the same ticket with the candidates for reflections, I am glad and proud that I am a Democrat! In my opnioin there is no such thing as an Indepen- dent-Democrat. We are either thoroughly and wholeheartedly for
 the party, as represented by the presnt administration or we are not Democrats at all. There is no such term as Independent Democrat in my vocabulary I am the third generation to vote straight Democratic ticket in Wa terbury, and my children are the fourth generation to pull the lever for the entire Democratic ticket.
 Let us not be fooled by the description of the term, Fusion ists!" The formation of the anti administration ticket was by no means spontaneous effort on the part of the Republicans and dis contended Democrats. It was al- ready a definite plan moths be- fore the Democratic and Republi- can conventions were held.
 My opponent, Miss Dora Egan is being held up as 8 martyr on the grounds that she was deprived of her customary place on the tncket. Long before a question of her nomination arose, she was already engaged in a plan to wreck the Democratic party in Waterbury. Last spring a commit tee was appointed by the Demo- cratic Women's club to arrange
 a social function in order to fos- ter new interest in our organiza- ton. I was a member of that com- mittee. When committee report ed to Mis- Egan thast we had made arrangements for a dinner at the Hotel Elton, and had invited the mayor to be present as 8 guest of honor, we were ordered to carl- eel the dinner. That order was issued by the secretary of the club, my present opponent, Miss Dora Egan. Miss Egan told our chairman she would not permit us to have the Democratic mayor of the city of Waterbury present at a Democratic Women's club din- ner! The reason Miss Egan gave was that in October we would have another candidate for may or, running on 8 Fusion ticket.
 That destroys, at once, the argu- ment that Mis Egan has been badly treated. Instead of the Democratic party dropping Miss Egan, Mis- Egan had already dropped the Democratic party. We refused to obey Miss Egans order. We gave the dinner, and 1t was the largest testimonial ever held in Waterbury, It was an over- whelming tribute to the splendid work our mayor has been doing for the city!
 T shall endeavor to work with the administration in preserving and augmenting the excellent con- ditions which they have achieved during their previous terms in of- fiice. I promise all the voters of Waterbury that their faith in me shall not be unfounded."
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-24

cal preceding administration managed to spend for the same purposes in eight full years. Is this economy and efficiency, Mir. Leary, and if so, where is it?
 Admits Mistake
 It seems that I made a mistake. Mayor Hayes and MT. Leary made a hullabaloo last fall about a quarter mill reduction in the tax rate for this year. I thought they were still claiming a reduction. But MT. Leary is right in this one point ~ no reduction was made at all.
 But they might have made a reduction. They could have saved many times the $41,250 tax cut by cutting out some of the political deadwood.
 But MT. Leary claims the tax rate has been reduced, and is now the lowest since 1922, the first year of the preceding admins tratino. Correct, but, MT. Leary and MT. Hayes staged the reduc- tion by the simple process of get- ting the rate hoiSted to virtually 42 mills so they could reduce it. But MT. Leary forgets to tell you that the Hayes-Leary tax rate average is greater than that of any preceding administration, or greater than that of any other city of the state.
 The actual taxes, water rents and other such revenues collected by the financial wizards, Mir. Hayes and MT. Leary, in seven and one half years is 4 millions of dollars, more than the preceding, suppos- edly wasteful administration col- lected in eight full years of good times, And they did this they claim, in face of a reduced tax rate and a declining grand list Pretty good, isn't it?
 And where did City Hall get this money? They took it from you, the rentpayer, the storekeep- CT and the landlord. People paid for it in taxes and high rent. Is that falsehood, MT. Leary?
 Debt Reduction
 MT. Leary claims debt reduc- tion of $1,700,00O, since the ad- ministration took office. That is a downright, deliberate falsehood. I looked up the 1930 charter com- mission report, and temporary loans when MT. Hayes and MT. Leary took office was $19,849,000 That is a great amount of money.
 Then took MT. Leary's finan- cial advertisements from the Wat erbury newspapers of June and Sept. 2, 1887, the latter just three weeks ago today, and I found that the bonded debt and temporary loans as of June 30, 1887 totalled $20,072,500. My authority is MT. Leary's own financial statement for the city printed in local news papers.
 Is that a reduction of $1,7000, 900, MT. Leary? Whose falsehood is that?
 Attempting to cover up and con- fuse my charges MT. Leary resorts, as he says, to round figures, and
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-24

are they roundP Just two exam pies will suffice.
 MT. Leary does not tell the truth about his expenditures for education. Here is what he said: For education about 2 million dollars Mir. Leary, I have your report for the state for 1886, and it stateS-"E Education, $1,650,000," a difference of $347, 1000. Did you tell the truth, or were you stretch ing it, MT. Leary?
 More Examples
 Here is another example. MT. Leary said: Street and sewer de- partments need three-quarters of a million dollars 8 year. Why, then, MT. Leary, does this same re- port of yours to the state for 1886 show that you paid out in the street and sewer departments last year, $1,300,000, a difference of $550,0 That was your falsehood, AA. ACcIAJ
 Again I charge, that the Hayes administration is uneconomical and wasteful; that it plays favor ties; that it economies not in the places where it should, but only in the places where faithful, hon. est, hard work is necessary.
 The two examples I have just given, absolutely prove my charges beyond all questions.
 You cannot prove these figures wrong, MT. Leary. They are from your own reports. The public will no longer listen to your cry of 'falsehood.' They want to know what you and MT. Hayes did with their money.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-24

yards where the shades are pulled down?
 Controller Leary accuses me Iof making false statements. I will admit that MT. Leary knows about all there is to know about figures. In fact, he can make figures talk like Edgar Bergin can make Charlie Mccarthy talk. He can make them say anything he wants to. MT. Leary says that I made a mistake. Well he has made some himself, and some big ones. Here is one of them.
 Statement Cited
 did not state that the city hall had the spending of the &C., tual cash involved in federeJ re- lief work. Az-. Leary asserts that the city has never received a penny from WPA, CWA or EZRA. I ask him to look at his own paid advertisement in the Waterbury newspapers of April 8, 1895 in regard to city finances, partic- ularly the line reading: receipts EZRA rant,'-and then look me in the eye and repeat his asser- tion.
 Whose falsehood is that, MT.

old fashioned notions about city elections. In city election there is only one issue, good government. The only question before the voters in any city election is whether or not the people in office have been de- livering the goods, giving the taxpayers their moneys worth in honest and efficient government. Parties and party lines have noth- ing to do with that issue. National issues have nothing to do with that issue. National issues have nothing to do with municipal elections. The fact that you are nationally a Democrat should not keep you from voting for the best man on any ticket in a city elec- tion. The fact that you are a Republican should not keep you from casting your ballot for the best candidate regardless of the party label.
 Now old line politicians do not like to hear this said. They like to keep their voters lined up as Democrats and Republicans. They like to have it firmly implanted in your mind that you are a Democrat or a Republican. They want to have you vote your party ticket regardless of the ability and fitness of the men whose names appear on that ticket. Of course that is all nonsense.
 What has the federal govern ment's stand on neutrality in the Sino-Japanese conflict got to do with the way the City of Water bury is being run? You know well, these issues have nothing in common. The only issue in city election is the manner in which the affairs of the city are being conducted. Remember that on election day. Forget all about party lines when you cast your ballot. Elect the entire ticket of men who will give you good gov- ernment; vote for the ticket that will give you honest administra- tion of the city affairs.
 Smoke Screen
 Do not let the politicians blind you with their smoke screens.
 I charge that the present day administration is extravagant and wasteful. charge we have the highest tax rate in the state, and that during the Hayes regime the bonded debt of the city has been increased rather than reduced. I claim there is one reason for all of this - the maintenance of the greatest poli- tical machine in New England at the expense of the taxpayer. I charge specifically that, in the minds of the present city officials, the welfare of the city is second-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-24

ary to the maintenance of that political machine.
 I charge that this machine has been maintained by waste of city money through the awarding of city contracts and purchases, to favorites without the calling for competitive bids. I also charge that money has been Squan- dered through keeping on the pay roll all the year round many non-productive political hangers on, as well as hiring city yard workers by the hundreds in the few prediction weeks.
 Controller Leary, in his answer to my charges, said that he awarded contracts and made pur- chaseS from local business houses as they should be favored because they are taxpayers. He did not say anything about calling for public bids from those local busi- ness houses. How do you know, how does he know, that the city is getting its moneys worth if there is no comparison of prices? Calling for public bids is good sound business.
 Bill Defeated
 MT. Leary did not explain that both he and Mayor Hayes used their influence to defeat bill in Hartford which would have. forced the calling for bids. That bill, which would have made known to the public the cost of city purchase, was killed by these men. The city is not a private corporation. Every citi- zen has the right to know what is going on.
 I said that in 1885 some 1900 city yard workers were taken on, few weeks before election and were discharged immediately after election day. Controller Leary in feeble reply said:
 The truth is that men in need were given employment on ne- cessary public improvements to carry them through to con- pletion.' Isn't it a coincidence that Mayor Hayes and Con- troller Leary should feel so gen. erous toward these needy men just before election time.
 Are these men in want only during the fall season of each election year? You know the truth. The hiring of prediction workers is an infamous page in the history of the City of Water bury.
 almost forgot-there is one more city worker-the living ex- ponent of thrift and economy, as it is practiced by the city hall to- day. No, I am not going to tell about a sidewalk inspector. I re- fer to the uniformed policeman who receives his salary from the city and who drives his honor in regal state all the year round; not only in Waterbury, but all over the state.
 Police Chauffeur
 What right has Mayor Hayes to have a policeman as his chauf- reur? There are many taxpayers who cannot even afford to own a car.
 They are helping to pay for Mayor Hayes's private uniformed chauffeur. The amount of money he is paid is not great, but the fact that he is on the payroll is the tipoff. When the city hall is brazen enough to Haunt this fancy chauffeur before the public's eyes, what are they doing at the city
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-24

Leary?
 The amount is small but it is beside the point. I still maintain the city had the benefit of over two million dollars in federal money which it used for public projects and for which Mayor Hayes now assumes credit. May or Hayes and Controller Leary should get together on thcir act. If the mayor is going to take a bow for these public improve ments, the controller should not discredit him by saying the city had nothing to do with them. I demand that if they must boast about these accomplishments. that they be honest about them and tell the truth.
 MT. Hayes and MT. Leary in- vite your attention to their rec- ord. I ask nothing better. They went into office to give us an ef- ficient, economical administra- tion. They claim the record shows that. Let us look at this record.
 Makes Offer
 Let me state right now that this record, these manufactured facts, as MT. Leary calls them, are corn-
