HEADQUARTERS co.

On Friday night, April %, inn
mediately after roll call, the
president of the enlisted mems
club, Sergeant Frederick Gam
BILE, called a special meeting Of
the group so that a committee
might be appointed for the au-
diting Of books before the cleo
ton of new officers for the en-
suing year, which will be the
first meeting in May according
to the announcement by Presi-
dent Gamble. The names of those
elected will appear in this col
umn.
The non-coms' school which
will meet each Wednesday eve
ming at the armory from 700 to
800 p. M, as before federal in
spection according to official an
nouncement by Captain Wendell
Derricks, company commander.
Both privates and privates first
class are welcome to attend this
school Of instruction which will
enable each to better qualify
himself.
1t is hoped that the time will
come when no one will have to
be punished for staying at home
on drill nights. I believe, we
should be as much concerned
about attending drill as we are
about going to our "daily job
When we become more serious
about our pledge of enlistment
our company will not be in that
average class" but in the nine
ty per cent class-something
we may crow about

Democrat, under dates of September l and 6.
 Both local parties will do well to give their most serious concern to the candidate they select and offer to the public for the office of judge of probate. Many voters will judge the entire ticket by the calibre oi the candidate. Being practically the only local office to be filled in the coming election and being of such human concern to everyone, this judgeship cannot and should not. be treated as a political pawn or sine- cure. Waterbury voters have showr for many years that they appreciate the necessity of having this office filled by an incumbent of high char acter, integrity and human sym pathy It is no place to experiment for the public will scrutinize and pay more attention to this office than to any other. The protection of the public interest requires it.
 "All so-called factions of the local Democratic party are to be congrat- ulated on the way they have con- ducted themselves In the successful effort to present united and har- monious party front Fractional feelings must be kept submerged in the choice of candidates and those presented as candidates should ht such as can be proudly supported by the great body of local Demo- cratic voters who will be quick tc sift the deserving and able from the undeserving. It is large responsi' bility which still rests on the shoul' ders of those who are guiding tho harmony program and requires courage. fairness, patience, and above all, alertness to the will of the voters, who, in the last analysis, will decide on how good and how sin cerely harmonious job has beer done."
 As a candidate for the nomina. ton of the above named office. stand 100 per cent for the principles expressed,
 Respectfully,

 Unusual Choice
 The AS convention delegates will have placed before them tomorrow night the, names of a half dozen or more aspirants for the nomination. Leaders in the field are Attorney John McLinden, Judge Edward Mascolo, Attorney Michael V. Blans- field, Attorney Patrick Healey, At torney John L. Gaffney and Attor- ney Vincent Scully. Other prospec- pective candidates are Attorney Will liam K. Lawlor, Attorney Harold Green, Attorney Irving Pasternak, Attorney Francis Mcdonald and John J. Howard, veteran clerk of the probate court under Judge Dem nis J. Slavin.
 It would not be surprising If Q compromise candidate should be agreed on by two or more factions which control a majority of the vote. Or 1t is possible that candi- dates with little hope of victory will throw their votes to stronger candi- dates.
 Ask" withdrawal
 At least two of the candidates, through their packers, have been telling other candidates that they are fin" and need only Q vote or two to gain the nomination. On this basis they have asked the withdrawl of other candidates from the field.
 The convention delegates have been besieged by telephone. letter and in person by candidates seek ing their votes at the convention. There are a number of votes al- ready definitely pledged. but other delegates have refused to commit themselves.
 It is believed that Chairmat, Thomas Mccarthy will be asked to order roll-call vote. This step will be opposed, however, by can didates who believe their prospects to be brighter if secret ballot is taken,
