 CT Conduct

Rev. John McTeague of St. Frar- ciS' parish, new chaplain of Troop g., Boy Scouts of St. Francis parish, addressed the Scouts at a meeting held last night.

CLUB
 DANCE SET BACK
Will Be Held Next Satur.
 day Night in Sacred Heart Hall

Owing to continued utilization oi the parish hall and upper school as a temporary convent, the mixed modern and old-fashioned dance scheduled to be held tonight under the auspices of the Sacred Heart Catholic Club has been postponed until next Saturday night.
 Originally the dance was supposed to have been held September Il, but had to be set back to October 2, It is believed that next Satur- days date will be final and that the dance will be held then.
 The Catholic Club is a parish so- cial and dramatic organization, composed of young men and women of the east end. They are holding the dance for the benefit of the new convent.
 Owing to the fact that so many tickets have been sold for the dance 1t is hoped that everyone will be appraised of the postponement..
 Connie Bracken's orchestra Is to supply the music and there will be a prompter for the fashioned sets. Last winter seven of these dances were held. all of them suc- cesSful.

encountered in my sixty years in Waterbury," If anyone told you in days gone by that you would see the day when an Independent Democrat would be heading the Republican ticket, the average person would regard him as @ lit- tie "wackie". Who for a minute would think a few years gao that @ couple of almost strangers would be running the Republican party and soliciting the votes of old time residents. I refer to J. Warren Upson and Francis T. Phillips. Nice enough gentlemen, but outside of club circles, they are very litle known around these parts.
 "But these newcomers and the others, who are interested in the fusion ticket are simply wasting their time and money trying to sell their ticket to the people, who regard their democracy almost as sacred as their religion. They have no use in turn coats and you can rest asured that they will be at the polls bright and early on Tuesday. They have enough pol- tical leaders, men of safe and , sound judgment right in their party to advise them. Moreover they have enough hard headed sence to know that their own leaders are much better than the new arrivals who never give a thought to the people of Wash ington Hill, Brooklyn, The East, west or North Ends-except e few days before election"

BEHIND THE SCENES
 WASHINGTON
RoDViEV 0UTcHER-
Democrat Washington Correspondent.

Washington, October 3. The cur- rent widespread practice of waging war without declaring war is actu- ally just an old-fashioned custom. The United States is still technically engaged in one such war, insofar as any treaty of peace or formal end- ing is concerned. '.'
 Tn July, 1916, U. s. troops invaded what was then the Spanish territory of Florida, and blew up an old fort, killing 270 Indians and Negroes with what would appear to have been as effective ferocity as lately has been demonstrated in China and Spain.
 Later the Seminole Indians man. aged to massacre 8 band of about 70 white men and women and you had the First Seminole war, with Andrew Jackson and his troops burning and killing through the Seminole country until treaty was signed in l8l8.

Senator Culhane Sought, Obtained FavOrs as
 Democrat

That the office of Mayor Hayes has been open always to all citizens of Waterbury and. that every con- sideration has been given always to those seeking work during the years of depression was recalled to thous- a1ds attending rallies in all sections of the city last night by City Comptroller Daniel J. Leary. The comptroller expressed resentment that various Fusion speakers had sought to attack theadministration by laying claim to being able to arrange jobs for many who "were refused' by the city.
 The fact that Senator George T. Culhane obtained three jobs through Mayor Hayes" was recalled to the voters. He spoke, with Mayor. Hayes. City Clerk John P. Fitz- maurice, Miss Dorothy Jacaruso, Representative Daniel J. Mahaney, Victor Manbruno, Thomas P. Kelly, and other Democratic leaders, at rallies at Waterville, at the Franco American hall and at the colored rally at Jones hall, East Hawkins street, where Robert Hawkins pre- sided
 About Jobs.
 Comptroller Leary said:
 "The present administration can- not promise jobs as does the oppo- sition. All we can do is to stick, to the record and ask the voters to vote according to that record. Someone at one of the Republican rallies said that when persons went to the City Hall during the de- pression looking for jobs they were ignored. resent that. Neither nor Mayor Hayes ever refused to sec anyone If they had a legitimate reason.
 we have denied many requests for political favors from those not in need but we never turned away anyone in distress. MT. Culhane has not kept his promises, as l told you over the radio tonight,
 "The three jobs he had in the city he obtained through Mayor Hayes: First from the Mill En- gineering Co.,; then from the Merchants Trust O., and then from the Waterbury National bank. Mayor Hayes made 1t possible for him to be nominated and elected senator in 1884. When he tried alone for the Senate in 1924 he got the same drubbing that he will get next Tuesday. What Is worse than in- gratitude?

Second War Costly

The Second Seminole War, ac- cording to records here, was caused by refusal of the Indians to give up land guaranteed them by the treaty. It blazed up in 1885 and in six years 1900 U. s. soldiers were killed and $20 ,000, 900 spent to annihilate Semi- holes.
 The army hunted the Indians with blO0dhOundS and violated flags of truce. Osceola died In prison and most ribal leaders were dragged out of the swamps, but there were always enough tribesmen left to resist and about 600 SemlnOles are on a reservation in the Everglades there today. Some of the survivors, it's believed at the Indian Bureau here, never saw . white man. No treaty of peace was ever signed.
 Some civilization has penetrated the swamps to the Seminoles, but old men still pass on stories of the white mans many broken promises. The Indians stopped raising COWS some time ago, they say, because white men stole them.
 An Indian Bureau agent recently penetrated the reservation to do various kinds of good for the Semin- oleS and had Q hard time batting down rumors that he was there to take down names in a program ot putting them all In @ stockade and selling them into slavery. At last re- ports some of the more remote Seminoles were going to be shown their first movie by the bureau agent. The unsigned treaty of peace probably will go unsigned.
 
 Mexico Invites Col0nists
 There are l,700 other seminoles over in Oklahoma and a few of them are well of because of oil dis coveries. Lately there has been some stir among them because 1t appears that President Cardenas has invited them to come to Mexico and settle there.
 Some of the facts aren't any too ClcNE' UWO " UNteS UMck tO tHe AbVe 164O'S when the forebears of these SemlnOles went down by invita- tl0n, to help the Mexican govern. ment of that day fight the ApacheS. They received . promise that there would be land for them whenever they wanted to come and settle.
 Recently delegation of eight travelled to see President Cardenas, He IS understood to have told them to go back and bring the rest of the l,700 to move into some fine ranch property-which turns out to be the subject of litigation by a San An. tonic, Tex" family which claims 1t.
 Just why Cardenas wants these Indians isn't clear. Perhaps because he only has about S,00o,000 Indians in his own country. Anyway, the Indian Bureau says the Oklahoma Seininoles like the Florida Semin- oleS, don't want to move.
