proceeds on protection for the rack cts.
 We might suppose from the news paper photographs that the mayor and his colleagues are in a rather jaunty mood even now. The rest of us, happening to have some regard for the good name of Waterbury, feel that the theft of millions of dol- lars by public officials is deep dis grace. It is unofficially reported in the public press that the mayor was taking his time about reading the grand jury report. Apparently he has made some sort of statement that the accusations against himself and others were "unfounded, vindic- tive, false" Well, give every man his day in. court but until we begin to recover some of the missing money and records we are forced to believe that we have fallen among thieves Somebody stole lot of money!
 It is time to ask the mayor to re- sign! The president of bank which had been systematically footed of several million dollars over an eight year period would not expect to draw his salary for an indefinite period after the discovery of the loss. He would explain or resign. We have a strong mayor" charter. We have a strong mayor government for the last eight years. It appears that MT Hayes is either unbelievable incom- petent as business executive ol guilty as alleged. The citizens o1 Waterbury may as well make ii plain to MT. Hayes that he has long outlived him usefulness as a public official. He has lost the respect anc confidence of his fellow citizens. Tn, newspapers have the right of it.

Whither BlOWeSt? Weather Vane Pre- sented Mayor Jasper McLevy by G % d Government Associ- ation.

Whether the wind blows. fair or foul in the future, Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridgeport will be re- minded of the Citizens Good Government association of Wa terbury.
 For the Bridgeport mayor has been presented a weather vane by the Waterbury group in lieu of the compensation he refused on the occasion of his talk here at Temple hall under auspices of the local organization. Harold F. White, ST., president of the Citi- zens' Good Government associa- tion, gave the Bridgeport mayor a Scottie dog weather yane Satur- day for the mayors cottage near Bridgeport.
 Thus, when the doggie's tail is to the north, his whiskers south bound, Mayor McLevy may look aloft and tell how blows the wind, remembering his Waterbury appearance in March with numer- ous other speakers when the merit system and good government were key-notes of the proceedings.

son agrees to abide at all times with a majority vote of the town con- mittee, the Young Mems Republi- can club, as a branch of the Repub- lican party request that he resign as chairman of the Republican par ty.
 Explains History
 This motion was presented by John McHugh, chairman of the exc cutive committee of the club who went into detail why he presented the motion. He contended that the town committee now in effect consisting of 20 members were actually repson- sible for the fine showing of the Republican party in the last election and not the chairman alone and that the town committee are regard ed as the leaders of the Republican party and are depended on to do most of the actual work of the Re- publican party and that their rec concentrations should be upheld by the chairman they elected. At the last town committee meeting the

a prominent Republican hired Arm- strong, and that group of promi- nent COP men paid him.
 Statement
 A communication received from a member of the Young Republican club is as follows:
 "There were fireworks at the meeting of the Young Mems Repub- lican club meeting in the Colonial room of The Elton as predicted by The Democrat last week; and the erroneous publication of what trans pired at the meeting published in the Republican and American news papers by someone who did not att tend the meeting is resented by a large number of the club members. A statement published in both those newspapers that J. Warren Upson chairman of the Republican Town Committee was lauded by the Jun for Republicans and that a motion was passed praising his activities and that the club gave their ap- proval of the new town committee setup as Warren Upson wanted, was anything but the truth. AS a matter of fact, J. Warren Upson was on the pan most of the evening. The only motion pertaining to J. Warren Upson put before the club was that the Young Mems Republi- can club go on record as not being in accord with J. Warren Upson's attitude in opposing unanimous vote of the town committee pertain ing to the change in the rules of the Republican party and his manner in presenting the town committees recommendation to the town con- vention-and unless J.
