dVGIluC, LIlCIC Wdo O pal que.
 Waterbury youngsters and thou sands of adults, too, turned out this morning to see the sights; the ele- phants, the tigers, the clowns, horses and cowboys, horses and cowgirls; the lions, the monkeys, tne strange ly-decorated vans enclosing who- knows what strange animals from the wilds of Madagascar and the islands of the secret seas off far Siam.
 Calliopo
 Once again the weird cacophony of bands not quite in tune, the noise of the calliope when steam was suf- ficient to blast the eardrums of those nearby, echoed down the main streets of the town. Time was when circus parade happened as a mat ter of course, three or four times every summer. But that time was gone-until today.
 Many hundreds of youngsters saw their first circus parade today, in fact, and there were demands on all sides of "mama," sometimes papa" to "get me one of those horses, plee-uz. Oooh, Mamal Can I have a monkey?"
 As if in touch with the desires of the youngsters, (not to mention the circus officials and the parents) the weather man turned off the rain and 1t was a sunny morning for @ change. Down the street from the grounds came the gay-panoplied CO., terie of performers and the music and the animals.
 General Frolic
 The monkeys yelled and fought in their cages; the tigers crouched menacingly behind strong bars, evil dencing general irritation, due, quite probably, to the days of rain which preceded today. But the calliope screeched and the clowns called to youngsters in the crowds and the attitudes of the animals were over- looked.
 Approximately 1000 persons were on hand early yesterday and through the day at the circus BAOuiiuo, WdICllHiB IilC IuIluTcuS OI employees erecting the tents and feeding the animals. The Robbins Brothers circus has been touring in New England this summer and off, cials commented today that this is the first let-up of rain they've had in more than a week.
 Lest Monday, the circus played Manchester, N. H., on flooded grounds; there was two feet of water on the field at Worcester, Tuesday; 1t rained at Norwich, Wednesday and at Stamford. Fri day, At Bridgeport, Saturday, the grounds were 50 damp" that the clowns wore rubber boots, 1t was re- marked"

 Despite some agitation for Water bury voters to register for the pri- marics, there has been even smaller volume than is normal in other years, the figures show. With few candidates committed to campaigns on either of the major party tickets this fall, there has been no indica- ton from the primary registrations here that particular support of any candidate is in the making.

rnents and in personal messages to visit the office of the registrars of voters and make sure that they are properly enrolled.
 Registrars John T. Derwin, Demo- crat, Albert o. Taller, Republican, with their assistants anticipate a last minute rush about Thursday. Inter- est is becoming keener daily.
 Text of Appeal
 Complete text of the statement follows
 "Thcre is fundamental right granted to each and every voter, by the rules of both the Demo- cratic and Republican parties in thV City of Waterbury, to vote in primary for the election of dele- gates to the various conventions for the nomination of candidates for public office.
 The average voter, unfamiliar with the rules of his or her re- spective party, fails to recognize the part that he or she may play in the selection of thees delegates, because party leader have been reticent to explain and call for such primaries. And Why? Well, when each voting district and each registered voter on a prim- ary list in that district elect to the conventions some delegate of their own choosing, this delegate can act and vote for such candi- date as he or she, in their better judgment, feels will best serve the general public interest. Heretofore delegates have been hand-picked, pledged upon going into the con- vention for certain candidate regardless of any special ability, and not allowe to voice or express their opinion, or suggest, nomin- ate, or vote for candidate of their own choosing in accordance with the wish or desire of the dis trict they represent.
 Revelations
 The people of Waterbury have recently witnessed some startling revelations regarding the conduct of their municipal affairs. The candidates for office have been
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-07-25

chosen by this manipulated meth cd, and the average voter has had no voice in the eelction of any delegate to any convention. The result has been that candidates are nominated year after year by the various conventions, and Mir. and Mrs. Voter are urged to get out and vote on election day for some candidate they would not ordinarily choose for office.
 Your right to vote in primary is much more important than your right to vote in an election for any candidate who appears upon the voting machine.
 The question has often been asked of an average voter: "Who represents your district or ward in teh various conventions?"--or -"Who is the town committee man from your district?" The re- ply of countless numbers is: T don't have nothing to do with the election of these representatives"
 But-Mr. and Mrs. Voter-you do have something to do with this selection. See that your name is registered on a primary list, and insist that you exercise your right to vote in primary for the selec- ton of a representative for your district who will be accountable to you for his vote in a conven- ton for the nomination of proper candidates for office.

Happenings in Waterville slowed down considerably during the past week, when rain, and more rain was the topic of conversation everywhere to be heard. Activities at the play grounds were suspended and camp life at the Gorl Scout Camp Wequa- pauset on Boyden street was con- fined principally to programs which could be completed within doors.
 However, the sun broke through the clouds last evening about six o'clock, and traff1c started moving, with people taking short trips, glad once more to be able to be out of doors, without the handicap of rub bers, raincoats and umbrellas.
 The rain during the past week seemed to be never ending, and acc counts show that throughout New England, the death toll was high, farm loss over two millions, and washouts common, with statistics proving the total precipitation for the month to date, to be sos inches, highest mark for July in 14 years.
 Possibly some people will remem- Der weather predictions made on February 1st, of this year, by E. B. Rideout, former chief meteorologist of the Boston weather bureau, fa- nous for his ncar-perfect record for long range forecasting during the past ten years. His prediction of five months ago was as follows: New England will swelter through an extremely hot, dry summer. The whole month of July, through the fifteenth of August will be hot and dry, with a serious deficiency of rainfall" Which makes us wonder where the rain all came from, dur ing the past week.
