pie hall and other sections of Ma sonic temple. MT. Cooney second- ed the nomination by George w. Towle, If you recall. Mr. Cooney. erstwhile candidate of Eapubli- cans for mayor of Waterbury, said something about renegade Democrats"
 MT. Cooney as Republican can- didate for mayor several years ago was buried under an avalanche of votes, presumably started by renegade Republicans".
 Not too clear on what MT. Cooney intended, the inquirins reporter put in e telephone call and sought an appointment. MT. Cooney. (this was fin the last days of July) was about to depart from his office. A call next day was suggested and agreed upon. Thereafter 1t was a case of not finding Mir. Cooney in e mind to be interviewed about what is . renegade"
 Finally, however. Mir. Cooney came to the office of The Dem- ocrat. He had been fishing up in New Hampshire. The talk mostly was about fishing because MT. Cooney did not incline towards extenutating his reference to renegade" An entertaining man, MT. Cooney, and quite an artist with a rod and reel, was the opinion gained from the meet ing.
 But the reference to renegade" stands unexplained and, with election only @ few weeks away, the matter is still confusing. Did MT. Cooney mean that MT. Cul- n1ane was 6 renegade" because Mir. Culhane was elected q state senator by the Democrats? Or did Mir. Cooney mean that Mir. Cul- hane was not e renegade" be- cause the Republicans indcrsed his nomination by the Tndepen- dent Democrats? Probably the matter will be cleared up after the election. WI
 Doubtless, J, Warren Upson, chairman Of the Republican town committee, or John r. robin. one of the principaisF in the 1nde- pendent Democratic command. would be able to give q somewhat t clearer definition of what cofi- stitutes c "reneeadets, Not N that e1ther.

The merit system amendment to the city charter, proposed by the waterbury Chapter, Connecticut Merit System Association, makes no provision that city jobs should go to local residents, nor does 1t even state that local residents should be given preference. Mayor Frank Hayes hit at this glaring flaw in his remarks to the board of aldermen Monday night when he stated that though he opposed the amendment as proposed he did favor a merit system plan that Twill benefit all legal citizens of Waterbury and will contain some priviSion that will pre- Ger war veterans"
 Admit Defeat
 Merit system advocaes admit that their proposed amendment does not list local residence as qualifica- ton for employment, but claim that this would be a matter which would be taken care of by the rules set down by the board of personnel. There is nothing in the amendmen! itself, however, which states that the board should make some rule giving preference, at least, to Wa teIbury citizens, and any such rule

Ing @ strange sentiment to exist about the town concerning the prospects of the common Jaw marriage of certain Republicans and the Independent Democrats. While some voters are of the opinion that the affair has be- come legalized by the dispensa- ton of the Republican town chairman, others maintain that the situation lacks the comforting benediction of the Republican party to an extent which would indicate divorce proceedings.
 Those of the latter view have pictured the Republicans in Q role such as might be that of a bride disillusioned of her pros- poets, sulky in the face of fail- ure of candied promises to fulfill their promised sweetness. The first rift in the affair occurred, in the sense of the simile, before wedding bells ceased echoing.
 It was at the joint conventions that Alderman Joseph Wilhelm, a Republican, was eliminated to make place for Thomas F. Bane, as choice of the Independent Democrats, on the joint ticket. In the matter of choice of Q regls- trar of voters, the rift was deVel- oped further, when both Repub. licans and their joint convention eers, nominated two candidates for the post, Albert o. Taller, In the first instance, Thomas J. Wall, In the second.
 Much of the time usually spent In lining up the vote, this season has been devoted to attempted settlement of the wedding rift, re- liable sources reveal. That from such e union can spring Q voting prodigy of sufiicient size to com. pete satisfactorily at the polls, is considered dubious by most Re- publicans.
 While unwilling to call treason" during what might be e crucial time in forming of their later prospects, the Republicans, 1t is found, are generally disgruntled. Not even the promise of their tic- ket's head to part his hair as he pretty well pleases, has served to appease their feeling that the party has been taken far out on a limb in the sense of departure from the tenets which have served through It's historic past.
 "Speechl Speechl" the copy boy is calling over the inquiring re- porter's should'r upon reading this last. Whenever "historic past" Is written, 1t is customary to ex. pect speech, obviously.
 But there you have it: On the one hand members of e party whose record shows national ac- complishment in some seasons of the long past with leaders such as Lincoln and Roosevelt. (Hearl HearD And on the other hand, the Independent Democrats. And what is Q renegade" MT. Cooney?

No Exclusiveness In
 Merit System Plan
Non-Residents Eligible to Compete With Waterburians for Any POsitiOn-'FIaw' Considered Important One

would be made only at the discre- ton of the board,
 To many critics 1t would seem that this would give the board en- tirely too much power, the same claim that is made against the di- rector of personnel whose appoint ment Is provided for in the amend ment. These persons feel that the amendment, if 1t is to benefit the people of Waterbury, should state plainly that Waterbury residents should at least be given first con- sideration for city employment, If not actually being listed as the only ones eligible for posts in most classi- fications of the city civil service,
 Outsiders Eligible
 Under the amendment as 1t Is drawn up now, whenever examira- tions for jobs were announced, a horde of outsiders could flock to this city to take the tests. If they rank cd higher than Waterburians, the jobs would be theirs, even though they were not local taxpayers. Of course, the board of personnel could make rules against this, but there Is nothing whatever in the proposed amendment to force them to do SO.
 In section 309 of the proposed amendment, 1t is stated: Such tests for posts in the classified service) shall be public. competitive, and open to all persons who may be lawfully appointed to any position within the class for which such ex- aminations are held with limitations specified in the rules of the board as to citizenship, residence, age, health, habits, moral character and preequisite qualifications as to per- form the duties of such position"
 Boards Powers
 The limitations" would be set by the board of personnel If the board wished, 1t need not limit any city positions at all to local residents The board, under the amendment as drawn up, would have complete power In deciding who could take tests for civil service jobs, and tkese need not necessarily be Wa terbury residents.
