 Votes Were No Good

VOtCS WCfE ANO OOOu
 What good did 1t do to us to vote and pass the ordinance providing 32 districts for more general rcpresen- tation?" asked Frank Varanelli, sec retary of the Young Italian Repub- lican club and one of a score of racial group leaders doomed" to oblivion in party affairs when Up- son and Registrar Albert o. Faller take over the "kingdom" of lS districts the unwanted new rules provide.
 Other officers of political clubs, professional men who seek recogni- ton for the many thousands Of vot- CTS of their races, eXcoriated the dictatorship" which will be con firned" tonight unless Chairman Upson becomes 90 fearful of a gen. eral repudiation of the Republican party next fall that he makes con sessions"
 Writes His Own Ticket
 "He can write his own ticket and move the Waterbury Republican party right up to his office, Just as 1t has been lately, only with more power than any man ever had in Waterbury politics" Re- publican lawyer commented. He tried to chop off the heads of the racial leaders ever since he got the chairmanship, chopped off one head to get 1t.
