The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-10-26

secret fifteen, who meet in deep secrecy, hold their names in se- cret and operate under the cloud of darkness? They are the "po- litical termites"; this accusation which MT. Cambigue has been
 wont to hurl at his political ad- versaries has proved to be a
 boomerang and is now returning
 to plague him. For we all know
 that ternites are white ants who
 burrow holes in pieces of wood
 and other objects and remain in
 the holes they have made. They cover themselves up, they do not let themselves be seen or discovered, if they can help 1t. They, too, do their work in secret.
 This fangled group, reminds one of a miniature hooded or der" with the members having hoods" on their faces. They too meet in secret, their names are unknown and work in the dark.
 This "canard organization" is too extravagant to have genuine French citizens believe in 1t. It is calling itself non partisan. Mark well 1t is not headed by a distinterested individ- ual, a man known for his non- partisan views, not by a man who is not prominently affiliated with a political organization; no 1t has as its president one who failed of election as alderman @ few years ago, one who holds the high- est offlce in the French Republi- can club, one who is a Republi- can town committeeman and is aspiring to high political honors. Now that the efforts of this gen- tleman have failed to peddle the political wares of Hoover, Landon and others, he has recourse to a subterfuge with the aid of his political mountebanks" A new name has been invented to cover up the old goods which he was unable to deliver to- the French American. citizens before. Yes, MT. Cambigue, "The French peo- pie are not fools." When they get behind the wrapper of 'non-parti- san they discover the same brand of discredited political goods.
 The statement of the non-par- tisan group with its appointed prophet, cannot deceive wise French Americans. The words might be those of Esau but the voice is that of Jacob. -s ~
 The reason why they are so mysterious is not far to seek. They represent the left wing of the Re- publican party, and a few dis- gruntled would-be Democrats, when we analyze their statement. They are hungry for power, and seek to obtain 1t at all costs. But the "F'reinch people are not fools". They will not themselves be en- snared by this so-called non-par- tisatl group. Mir. Cambigue let the cat out of the bag in his own statement, in the Waterbury Re- publican of October 22, 1887; "As far as the average critic knows, the Republicans did not, for some time, have a fair chance to show their intentions toward our peo- ple," Why "a fair chance? this shows that he is still smarting tin- der his defeat at the polls. What does he mean by flair chance? And again at the end of his state- ment he says: T must point out that through no faults of our own we are deprived of the requisites for Q well-functioning partisan organization" What lies behind this assertion? If 1t is to be taken at its face value 1t is Q self.con. deniuation of the French Republi- can club, and here again we need not read between the lines to see that this new organization will be used to attain the endb which he failed of, under the other party label.
 An analysis of the entire state- ment of the ncn-partisan group fails to give Q single substantiated fact, a single assertion which is backed with figures, dates, places and especially names. Tn fact the statement as c whole Is clothed in pclnpons generalities, ilnproveii a11ort|ons. vague alluslCns which ks tits NY IaN KIM I,fI
