The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-02-18
Ry DIoGENEs. JR

Now it can be told. It's William J. Pape for governor, J. Warren up- son for congress, come the 1roSt on the punkin in November.
 of course, the banns will be out somewhat earlier, say when the spring flush is on the rose, or the summer dew on the Merritt park way investigation. Naturally, when the Waterbury scandal" has ceased to intrigue as an active explosive for the political magazines.
 Out of MT. UpsonS own mouth, by his own mouthpiece, came the prophecy yesterday by the somewhat similarly side-door tactics of the Temple hall communion service last summer of the Republicans and the Independent Democrats. Sic. deny ing that his was political interest, MT, Upson advocated suit against the former Democratic controller for amounts variously and uncon- firmedly alleged to be over-expendi- lures of the city.
 A Little Different;
 Only one thing could be 1nterpre- ted by such worthy prestidlgltatofS of the Republican political scope as the Hartford Courant, nominator ot w. J. Pape to head Connecticut's Republican machine, not of course, as the late J. Henry Roraback head ed the vehicle, but with very diff ferent English, in matter Of writing. MT. Pape, the publisher who is nominated" for governor, will wed" MT. Upson, the much-marry- ing fomentor of Fusion in Water bury last summer.
 Thus, into the open come the arms and the man. as it were; the head and tail of the new political Frankenstein which has been welded in the furnace of hatred of the Hayes administration and anything and everything democratic. But, enough of the immediate, for the past holds much that should blos- som into meaning of this new un- ioniSm.
 There is the aspect of yesterdays spread over the front page of the American about Republican Town Chairman Upson's urging the insti- tuition of civil suits against Daniel J. Leary, immediately" Today's Re- publican passes this "buck'' to the Good Government association, over looking" the angle of Chairman Upson's story" yesterday, "over- looking it so thoroughly that the question is raised whether MT. Up- son, disgruntled over this prema- ture publicity concerning his politi- cal aspirations, did not, in fact, "back-track" on the Americans re- port concerning the former con- troller's plans"
 Branford's Loss
 About J. Warren ("Jef'D Upson not so much is known in Water bury except that he came here from Branford. engaged in the practice of law and, presently, has been made a partner in one of the fore most law firms here. That he has prospered is known. That his po- litical star has been furnished by his casting forth from the town Ol w. Palomba a few years ago, is un- derstood.
 That his fusing of the Independ- ent Democrats with his Republican coterie last summer in support of the erstwhile Democratic senator, George T. Culhane, did not result in victory for the ticket head, is reported major reason for the present political attack which cur rently seeks inclusion of yet another investigation of the election rec ords of last October. Behind the shoulder of Controller Sherwood l.. Rowland have hovered MeSSrs Pape and Upson since the insurance firm Republican took office, and before.
 It was these and their associates, who procured for the novice Row land the services of an expert ac- countant, William J. Armstrong, MT. Pape announcing simultaneously that MT. Rowland will pay MT.
