Bernsteins determined to lower furniture prices,
and took the greatest forward step in modern
merchandising. Last February we launched our
1929 to 1919 SAVINGS POLICY. We did it with
ture manufacturers, and by lowering our own
handling and distribution costs. Nothing was
taken from LABOR! Every penny Of savings was
passed directly on to you! The scope Of this 1919
to 1919 Savings Policy has grown so tremendously
in the past ST, months that TODAY, we offer you
the greatest variety of fine new furniture ever
assembled under one roof . . at the lowest prices
in our history!

Signing Of Armistice COMMUNICATED Here Tomorrow
Cutting Hurt COPS
More Than Demmies
Only 500 Democratic Voters Cut to Help McLevy;
10000 Pull Socialist Lever For Judge of Probate

lican press as an election factor, the
group failed to show more than i've
or six votes difference in the
purge" candidates of their selection
in the districts where the club re-
portedly has basic membership.
Cong. Smith actually ran ahead
of the Republican candidate for
controller in the aforesaid districts
and both the Democratic congress-
man and Senator-elect Egan ran far
ahead Of Governor Cross in those
districts, although this is not rea-
sonable comparison In the light Of
the McLevy vote.
Instance of how many persons
voted the Socialist ticket was the
total Of the probate court judgeship
balloting, which showed Attorney
Patrick Healey, Democrat, with 49,
805 by unofficial count, about q $500
majority over Attorney George H.
Lynch, Republican. The total vote
cast for the probate candidates was
less than $4,000 votes, whereas the
total of votes cast for governor was
in excess of $4,000.
This means that apparently about
10000 voters pulled the Socialist
lever, on which there was no cam
didate for probate judge.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-10

Republicans suffered most in the
cutting Of Tuesdays election which
saw Jasper McLevy, Socialist candi-
date for governor, carrying the city
by a small margin.
Study Of the returns today shows
that the predictions Of the last few
weeks which held to the theory the
Democratic candidates would suffer
more than Republicans from the
Socialist invasion were completely
wrong.
In the instance of the vote for
governor, McLevy, of course, polled
400 votes more than Governor Cross,
but Governor Cross polled more
than 1000 votes in excess of the
ballot here for Raymond E. Baldwin
Republican governor ELECT. The lat
ter's 8,454 votes showed total of
1000 votes less than the vote ac-
corded most other Republican can
didates.
In the case of Governor Cross, it
was evident that only about 500
Democratic voters "cut" to give Nc
Levy a vote. Thus, the complexion
of the Waterbury vote for McLevy
has definite Republican basis.
This is in line with the prediction
made by Attorney Nathaniel R.
Bronson in The Democrat last week
which was to the effect that should
McLevy poll heavily he would take
prepopderantly from the Republic
cans. This was true in the instance
of Waterbury, but failed to mate
rialize in sufficient proportion in
the state to give Gov. Cross the few
hundred votes he needed for re-
election.
Another matter observed by study
Of the Waterbury vote is the failure
of threats of the Independent Demo-
cratic club group to effect any pur-
pose in cutting" of Edward P. Egan
elected senator from the 10th dis
trict, and Cong. j. Joseph Smith, as
part of their feud with Democratic

MIGHT MUST FALL
REPEATED TONIGHT
Litchfield Players Comply
With Popular Demand For
Three Performances

Charles o. Carey of the Litchfield
Theater Company has decided to
play might Must Fall' again this
week at the Waterbury Women's
club, due to its success and popular
ity last week. Again June Thompson
will play the role of Mrs. Bramson,
the crotchety old neurotic, who falls
prey to the persuasive charms OF
the fascinating Danny, played by
George Evers. Both of these fine &C
tors have already made a splendid
impression here in Waterbury, and
those who saw them in Mr.. Carey's
opening production, "YeS, My OAR
ling Daughter" will be pleased at
the opportunity of seeing them in
even greater parts.
might Must Fall'' is the mystery
melodrama which had such success
full runs in both London and New
York the last two seasons. It is a
murder story with great deal OF
comedy relief, that has been pro-
nounced by critics as one of the
most enhancing melodramaS that
has comem from London in years.
The play opens tonight and will
continue Friday and Saturday night
with Saturday matinee.

Bridgeport, Hartford and New Ha-
ven, Conn. The benefits con-
ferred to society at large by the
operation of these institutions ex-
tend beyond their territorial linn
its, since they shelter men of vari-
GUS local origins. All these men
are, for the time being, unem-
playable for one cause or another,
some by reason of a physical de-
feet, others because OF a defect
of character. Others are ex-pris-
oners paroled to the keeping CT
the Salvation Army. The officers
in charge of these institutions
have two specific responsibilities
one, to administer its affairs
capably, the other, to restore the
men as soon as possible to nor

Fresh-Air Camps
The work for women and chill
dren In the United States is con-
Quoted through eight hotels for
women, 10 homes for children, Is
settlements and day nurseries, one
of them in Boston, SO maternity
homes for unmarried mothers, OF
which one is located in Boston
and one in New York city. There
are also scores of freSh-air camps
for underprivileged babies. chill
dren and tired mothers. The one
nearest to Waterbury is situated
at South Coventry, near Hartford,
where many Waterbury children
have enjoyed two weeks of sun
shine, bathing and good food III
summers gone by.
The Salvation Army believes
that religion provides the only
fundamental and lasting solution
to the problems of human misery
and sin. But having found early
in its history that it is impossible
to feed q mans soul If his body is
starving, its various social service
activities naturally developed. The
aid, that it extends to the sub
merged thousands in our cities Is
personalized through devotion to
a cause above and beyond mum
dane affairs, and gives Salvation
relief work a status that is unique
both in character and effective
ness. =
