The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-10-02

the two labels are the il1sigr Explanation of this aspect of the nle6kanics of voting at the immi- ncnt election Is made in a letter sent out to all voters by the Demo- cratic Town Committee. Reminder l1 made in the letter of the service rendered the city through four terms of office by the administra- ton of Mayor Frank Hayes and voters are urged to take this mat ter into account when the time arrives to make the serious choice between the polyglot setup of the two tickets of separate label and common intent, and the straight Democratic ticket.

 one difference in the two Fusion tickets is noted, however, and this the name of Albert c. Taller, ap- pearing as candidate for reelection on the Republican" ballot, and that of Thomas J. Wall, appearing as candidate for the same office on the "Independent Democra" ticket. Reminding the voters that the two lists of candidates on the Re publican" and Independent Dem- Ocrat" ballots do not represent the choice of the "life-long Republi- cans", the town committees letter 1s e follows:
 yellow Citi2en:-
 On Tuesday, October 5th, you will be called upon to choose a Mayor and other officials to serve you for the next two years. The responsibility is serious one and worthy of your careful thought.
 This Is your City, and the man. aeement of its affairs is of vital importance to you, because your money, your health, your safety, and the education of your chtl- dren are all involved.
 Because of the unusual situa- ton this year, you must consider carefully the choices which are open to you at the polls.
 You have the choice of voting for the ticket which bears the name of Republican. This ticket, fended by c Democratic ofticc holder and including many other former Democrats, IS Republican in name only. It was selected without regard for the experience OTsability of its members. It was chosen without the consent and a&ainst the wishes of lifelong TRHpublicans. It does not repre- seat the policies of the judgment ofthe Republican party. It owes it's existence only to the personal ambition of the few who have : temporarily seized control of the Republican party.
 -Four second choice is the so- Caned Independent Democrat" ticket. This clement IS composed ofsthose who, unable to force taseir will upon the Democratic patty, have named ticket almost Identical with the Republican tacket. This alliance is solely poe 2litical, with the hope that 1t may eikct those whose only claim to ofllce is that they desire to hold ofIice. A little investigation as to the record of the power behind this party will convince you that ithts utterly unworthy of your tTsist.
 -Four third choice, and the one which we ask you to make, will xstAin in oflce Mayor Frank Hayes and his associates on the Democratic ticket. Their admin istFation has served you and their city faithfully and well. They have, by honest and capable man. aaement, lowered your taxes, pro- vioed adequately for your safety and health, materially improved tho condition and appearance of your City, and guided Waterbury through the geratest depression in hiBtory in c manner which has won unqualified praise.
 Your choice in this election should be easy to make. You will < decide whether you prefer an ad- zninistration composed of Demo- cT@ts who stand upon their rec o1d, or whether you want an ad- manifestation composed of Demo- crats who have no record to stand upon.
 Your own common sense will ieAd you to one decision.
 Vote the Straight Democratic Ticket. Pull the Top Lever.
 Respectfully yours,
 THE DEMOCRATIC TOWN
