The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-22

The union of the Republican end Independent Democratic parties makes for great campaign strength, declared Sherwood Rowland, Fusion candidate for controller, in 6 radio address delivered last night. The Fusion plan, he said, is flair and sound" and "any minded Re- publican will see the advantage of this plan"
 He declared that though the first two administrations of Mayor Hayes were satisfactory, he later became 8 politician. He praised the ad- ministration of Mayor McLevy of Bridgeport, declaring that Water bury should follow the lead of the Park City.
 Tn my speech in accepting the nomination to the office of controller I stated that T in- tend, if the majority of the vot- Sers entrust me with this office, to administer the affairs to the best interests of all. Those best interests of all can be most ef- fectively served by a policy of economy. To that I pledge lny- self and to that policy, in the interests of all, I now ask your cooperation; and will again, if elected, ask for your further. and continued cooperation
 Let us now consider another phase of the situation.
 First, we will start on the health department, with which I am personally familiar. Unless I am greatly mistaken, the reputa. ton which Dr. Edward J. God frey enjoys with the citizens of this city is in conformity with the high rank which Waterbury has consistently gained In official health competition with other cities of It's size throughout the country.
 Tt is impossible and unnecss- sary to recite all the activities and all the officials of this city. consider that the other officials elected or appointed have carried on their duties in a manner which is on Q par with those that have been mentioned. And those inen- toned spend over four million dollars per year, or about seven out of every eight dollars spent by the city government.
 If substantial savings are to be made without curtailment of serve ice which city dwellers demand, 1t must be that the departments mentioned require new and better supervision. That I do not bee lieve, nor do think that most of the citizens of Waterbury be. lieve 1t.
 Recognizes Rights
 T recognize fully the right of any politically minded individuals or groups to oppose any adr1inis- tration: I recognize that the vot- CTS of this city are as well able as I am to observe the workings of their administration and to draw their conclusions. I have attempted in this discussion mere. ly to present the results of my own observations in such . irian- ner as to show why I am con. vinced that Mayor Frank Hayes and his associates on the Deirlo- cratic ticket are worthy Oe your continued confidence and sup- port,D

would not put . change in effect. That was the fact in the last city election, in 1885.
 '"The reason was that the same candidates were not on each ticket, although the vote was against the present Democratic administration.
 Since both the Republican party and the Independent Demo- cratic party are in unison in their endeavorS to effect change, they should be-and are low-in unison as to their candidates, 50 that a majority vote will actually effect @ change. We believe that the plan now adopted and to be sub nnitted to the electorate of the city on Oct. s is fair and sound and that 1t will assure success. A reasonable plan to obtain c full expression of what the electorate desires, and Q plan which will actually put this desire in opera ton, is paramount to party lines. Any fair-minded Republican will see the advantage of this plan.
 "Sen. Culhane, the candidate for mayor on the Republican ticket and on the Independent Democratic ticket. has, both in the past and now, definitely shown his disapproval of the present Democratic administration, and so strongly feels the need for Q change in the city administration that he has signifled his willing ness, as afl independent citizen, to run as candidate for mayor on the combined Republican and In- dependent Democratic tickets, placing his interest in the welfare of our city above party lines.
 "In 1787, in the infancy of our nation, Banjamin Franklin, whose astute statesmanship is iinques- toned, urged the colonies to unite for strength. We all know the answer. The parties to that union, Individually and collective ly, gained strength, rather than lost 1t, and each retained its in- diHdual identity.
 Tn our own present situation, this advice stili holds good. Can we read the handwriting on the wall; are we farsighted enough to forget party lines for the mo- ment; or do we need another Boston tea-party to rouse us from our lethargy and make us realize the necessity of Q united front in our common cauge7D

the various departments of the city in the light of these charges. You have not had the time nor the facilities to make 8 complete and thorough investigation, but you have certainly formed certain general impressions and opinions. would like you to check those impressions with mine.
 Tn the first place, the financial position of the city is unquestion- ably matter of great importance. The administration claims 8 re- duction in the total debt of well over 8 million dollars, while the opposition points to an increase in the bonded indebtedness of some- thing less than a million dollars.
 Tn my opinion, the debt has actually been reduced, but 1t seems to be certain that, as com- pared to a total current debt of 18 millions and to the total in- come and expenditures over a period of eight years, any change has been relatively small. We may say that there has been com- paratively little change in the city's debt from 1890 through 1887. The important thing to de- eide is whether such a record is a good job or a bad job.
 Remarkable Job
 T think that on the face of the matter, it would certainly be con- sidered a remarkable job for al- most any governmental agency, municipal, state or national, to go through the trying years of the depression without any consider able impairment and with even an improvement of its financial position.
 You will notice that I said, on the face of the matter because I wished to leave the question open for the consideration of ar- guments by which the opposition attempts to attack record which they recognize is apparently Q good one.
 "The critics of the administra- ton make 6 claim which seems to me to run something like this: That the administration has re- ceived substantial financial benefits which should have enabled 1t to have greatly decreased the city's indebtedness. These benefits are cited as being an excessively high tax rate in 1880, the contributions to unemployment relief made by the subscribers to the Mutual Aid program, the contributions made by federal agencies for the same purpose, and the contribu- tions of city employees who accept ed pay cuts.
 "Now I feel that there is no citizen of Waterbury who does not realize that these contributions have been made and that they have been substantial. But could or should these benefits have operated to reduce debt or taxes? The first, the high taxes of 1880, could and of course did. But I have no recollection that the wage earners of Waterbury, muni- cipal employees or the federal gov- ernment were ever solicited to provide funds to pay off bonds or reduce taxes.
 Avoided Bankruptcy
 T thought that those funds were needed by Waterbury, as by every city in the United States, to avoid municipal bankruptcy while struggling to care for its un- employed citizens.
 Even supposing, which I do not, that any administration would wish to divert these funds from the needy unemployed of this city, how in the world could 1t have been done? Only as I see it, by ceasing Its own expen- ditures for welfare entirely and

'BH P<<'

The Rideout twins took Dan Lash for a ride during the running of the Emile race at the Sugar Bowl track and field meet in New Or leans. The holder of the world record for the event fell for one of the oldest tricks of foot-racing when he tired himself out follow ing the hot pace set by Blaine Rideout and left himself without the strength to ward off the stretch drive of Wayne Rideout.
 The running twins have been making quite reputation for themselves in the Southwest. Cross country racing has been their forte and they have made practice of dashing over the finish line hand in hand to share first honors.
 The bit of tragedy they pulled on Lash in the Sugar Bowl meet was all planned before the race. Wayne figured he had the better chance of defeating Lash so Blaine sac- rificed his opportunity in order that his brother might win. Per- haps Wayne will do as much for Blaine another time.

 NIGHT AT ELKS
Hagerup High, Mrs. White Next, as Oregon and
 Yale Score Sweeps

Very nearly sweep of clean sweeps was scored at the Elks' al leys last night, only Lehigh failing to take all games in it's match. Still, Lehigh did not lose any games either. Paced by Fred Hennins, the lads from the Valley took the opening game of theif match against Boston by good margin, and did likewise in the third game of the match. But in the informed fate conflict, the best Lehigh could do was tie with Boston. Henning rolled the third highest score of the night, 534
 In the opening match, Yale had no difficulty in taking three straight games in it's match against Knox. It was in the second match that the fireworks started, even though Oregon did capture all three games from Notre Dame.
 Fry Hagerup of Oregon was the star of the night. with PA game included in a 548 total. Oregon won each game of the match in decisive fashion, but, Mrs. Josephine White was undaunted and put up a de- fense that netted her the second honors for the nights scoring, with a 536 total and 200 game.

Douglas Eagles and Juneau Bremen Hold Practice
 Session Tonight

January 19 was agreed upon as the opening date for the next round of play in the City Basketball League at the managers meeting last night, and President Fowler will announce the new schedule within the next two days.
 Most of the session was devoted to discussion of the problems of send ing a Juneau hoop squad to the An chorage basketball tourney. Several lines of action were proposed, to be followed up, to ascertain which are most promising.
 Last nights conference was short, two of the managers having their teams engaged in the first practice for the coming round. The two squads, Krause and the DeMolay, went through warm-up sessions, fol- lowed by brief scrimmage.
 Tonight, the gym floor will be taken over by the Douglas and Ju- neau Bremen squads, for their op- ening practice from 7:15 to o'clock.

McNem Twins Had System

Several years ago another pair of twins did considerable running in the New York district. And, cur iously enough, they, too, were 2 milers. They were Tom and Sam McNell. They developed into bet ter-than- average; one of them was good enough to win several district championships in A.A.U. competi- ton.
 The McNell twins had a neat little stunt of their own that gen. erally netted them prize to share. And it was the main reason why Handicapper George M hews, metropolitan association official, lay awake nights trying to figure ways and means of beating the young sters at their ow;l game.
 Many of the 2-miir runs during the winter track season in the East are handicap affairs. And that made the setup perfect for the McNell act They would scan the program to see how much handicap each was allotted The lad who happened to be going best and was in the finer shape would take the longer mark and invariably romp off with the prize. None of the officials could tell Tom from Sam so they fell for the act for some time. Mathews finally became sus- picious because of their consistent winning off long marks so he put an end to the ruse by handicapping the pair at the low mark.
