 bieri Criticized at Democratic Outing Yesterday

Tribute to Mayor Frank Hayes and other members of the city ad- ministration was given yesterday as several thousand persons, gathered at Reichenbach's farm, Chestnut Hill, at the annual Democratic out ing. The mayor and Controller Daniel J. Leary both strongly con- demned Senator George Culhane, Town Clerk Dora Egan, and Select man Domenic Barbieri for running as candidates on the Republican Independent Democratic fusion tick ct in this falls campaign.
 The three fusion candidates have left the ranks of the democratic party and deserve no support from party workers, both speakers stated. They declared that Waterbury has had an efficient, business-like ad- ministration in the past eight years. Both Mayor Hayes and Controller Leary made 1. clear that they were not speaking as candidates for of1lce since the democratic party nomina- tions have not yet been made.
 Mayor Hayes, in his speech, char acterized Senator Culhane as a renegade Democrat" Waterbury, he said, wants real democrats and he predicted that the party would again be victorious in October.
 The outing committee consisted of Warden Coleman OLoughlin, Joseph Lawlor and James McMahon. John DiCorpo, assistant city clerk. was toastmaster. Speakers, in addi- ton to the mayor and controller, were City Clerk John Fitzmaurice, Alderman Charles Sciullo and City Sheriff Angelo Nardona.
 Mayor Hayes said in part:
 Speaks Not As Candidate
 "I am here not as Democratic candidate, as our party did not see fit to make its nominations around the Fourth of July. When the nominations are made you will find that party will nomin- ate real Democrats as in the past. Real Democrats do not seek nominations from other parties. come from race that has never honored and never will honor renegades and fence- jumpers. I am Democrat and once more seek nomination on the Democratic ticket and value that more than would getting the nomination of 10 oth- CT parties. was born a Demo- crat and will die a Democrat and will run only on one ticket, the Democratic ticket.
 There is only one kind of a Democrat and that is real Democrat. When one hyphenates the name, he is talking about a family that doesn't belong to ours. Whether I am nominated again or not is a minor matter but our party is the party of the people and all I want to see is that the Democratic party goes in.
 No Renegade Democrats
 T don't believe the electorate of Waterbury is going to let a renegade Democrat walk in and cash in on what we have done in carrying the city through the de- pression."
 "The Democratic party is your party and unless you keep Water bury, the stronghold of Democ- racy in the state, in the Demo- RRnffA x.gka nominated or not-you will have the state under Republican con- trol again and you know what that means"
 Controller Leary Speaks
 Controller Leary said, in part:
 If someone says that this crowd has been in long enough, you can say that this crowd has had little chance to demonstrate its ability to run the city under ordinary conditions. It has been operating under most extraordi- nary conditions because of the de- precision and yet has made bet- te- record than other cities.
 Lets leave all personalities out of this campaign. All we need do is to point to our record on re- lief and public improvements. The democratic party has not made Its nominations yet but whoever is nominated will have running against them three per- sons who were formerly demo- cratS. Because they were demo- crats it behooves all of you to use tact and avoid all personalities.
