 lyn rally was held @t Duggan school square, the one on Washington Hill at South and Washington Streets, and the final one of the campaign at Bridge and Baldwin streets. At this last rally the speakers made their remarks from the veranda of the famous Dan Foley homestead.
 Mayor Confident
 Mayor Frank Hayes declared that he felt certain the voters of Water bury would return the Democrats to office. The only issue in the cam paign, he said, was the record of the present administration. Anyone who studied that record, he said, would certainly realize what an efficient city government Waterbury had had for the past eight years. :, - , "All that the opposition has done," said the mayor, lis to call names. l am pretty certain that traitors will never appeal to the voters of Wa terbury." |.
 Controller Daniel J. Leary hit sharply at the fact that Senator Gull hane last night in a radio speech repudiated Attorney John Tobin. Why, he asked, did not the Fusion candidate for mayor, repudiate him earlier in the campaign, why did he wait till the eve of the electionH
 Congressman J. Joseph Smith praised the record of the city ad- ministration, pointing out that taxes have been reduced steadily despite the fact that 1t was in power during the years of the, depression.
 Ex-Mayor Francis P. Guilfoile de- clared that the Democratic adminis- tration was worthy of the support of all the voters of the city.
 f Straight Ticket W
 At all three rallies, rousing ova- ton was given Mrs. Mary Coughlan Kilmartin, Democratic nominee for town, clerk. Mrs. Kilmartin again asked those who planned to vote for her to pull the straight lever and vote for the entire ticket. a%
 Statute Revision Commissioner John D. Tho.ns declared that there lis only one kind of Democrat, a real Democrat. He decried the actions of disgruntled Democrats in forming another party and allying them selves with Republicans.
 City Treasurer Edward L. Futile praised the financial record of the present administration. School Commissioner Louis Bria declared that the Democratic party would get the full support of the Italian voters of the city, A similar pledge was made by City Sheriff Angelo Nardona. City Clerk John Fitz- maurice cited the administrators record as the only real issue before

 And, he concluded: .,- .'''' :,
 "The Republican and Independent Democratic tickets stand for good government. If you are satisfied that the Hayes administration has given you good government, ifdyou are willing to be burdened with the highest per capita debt In the state, if you are content to allow to re- main in once an administration that has increased your bonded debt by waste and extravaganza, you will register your vote tomorrow accord irgly. ,,. !

 Dr. Godfrey, speaking. with At torney Carmine C.. Cipriano, past president of the Young Democrats, over station wATR, paid tribute to Mayor Frank Hayes for his admin istration of city affairs, saying that the city had cooperated fully with the health department throughout the eight years of the Hayes ad- ministration.
 Praise Agencies
 The city health officer lauded the health agencies, American Red Cross, Visiting lJurses' Association and the Chamber of Commerce, for their part in joining the eHalth De- partment In its efforts to provide modern handling of health matters in Waterbury. He remarked the citations awarded the city for It's record of high health standards, say ing that only by cooperation of the city administration and; the ager- cies to which he paid tribute, could this standard have been maintained.
 Attorney Cipriafto spoke to the citizens of Italian extraction, prin- cipally, reminding them of the con- sideration they have received from the Democratic party throughout. He said that the party has aided and encouraged the Italian people to take their place as 8 strong factor in civic affairs, .remarking that the Italian. people should, for these req sons, give their whole-hearted sup port to the administration of Mayor Frank Hayes. He spoke in Italian for several minutes, following the address in English.
 Loughran Speaks
 Henry Loughran, president of the Jeffersonian Club. in an address on the radio, called for the support of all true Democrats for the admin istration, saying, T want to assure you that all members of this organ ization are squarely behind Mayor Frank Hayes and the entire Demo- cratic ticket. ...
 How can anyone, who pretends to be a Democrat, be any other way in this election?" he demanded, add ing that he foresaw" smashing victory" for the administration.
 MT. Loughran warned Democrats that the false promises" of the h. dependent Democrats have led some to align themselves" only to find out that this group now seeks to put the Republicans in of- fice," changing over from their public clairns of two years ago, that they were working alone.
 He appealed to all members of the Jeffersonian Club to present a solid front and to vote for the adminis- tration, regardless of the false promises of personal gain, alleged to have been offered the membership by the Fusion candidates. . .

Alan is runaway prince. They rent
house in Hollywood which turns out
to be the home of Josie Pembroke, a
friend of the princess whom the run
away prince is supposed to be trying
to avoid marrying. When Josie re-
turns home from Europe accompanied
by Princess Dolores, they of course
find the house occupied by Allan and
Tom. Jarvis, the butler, had rented
it to them. Dolores soon discovers
that Allan is no prince at all. Mean
while the real prince turns up in the
person of Bert, the chauffeur and the
climax is reached when the prince and
princess become engaged to be mar
ried. However, Alan does not drop
out of the picture at all, for he has
fallen in love with Josie and so the
play is brought to a very proper con-
clusion.

1T HAPPENED IN HOLLYWOOD
After careful consideration, the
members of the senior class have de-
cided to present "It Happened In Hol-
lywood" a comedy in three acts. Their
choice in this matter was prompted
by the fact that cit Happened In Hol-
lywood" contains every element of
the successful play; human interest,
splendidly drawn characters, an inter-
esting locale, vivid incidents, scream
ingly funny comedy, dramatic scenes,
thrilling climaxes, and an absorbing
story from start to finish. When this
great play is presented at Snow Hill
on May IA, the audience will find and
be stirred by all these qualifications
of good play. ut Happened In Hol-
lywood" is the story of young man
named Alan Tremayne who goes to
Hollywood with hopes Of breaking in
