The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-08-27

didate for governor; 288,374 for Governor Wilbur L. Cross Demo- crat; 20,637 votes for Jasper Nc. Levy, Socialist candidate.
 Mayor McLevy boiled 941 votes in Waterbury that year as against 254 for the Levitt-Pape ticket. And the LeVitt-Pape ticket polled 14 votes in Woodbury, MT. Pape's present home district, against 546 for Trum- bull, 188 for Cross, 17 for McLevy, each for Wofsky Communist and Clean Socialist-Labor).
 MT. Acorn suffered overwhelming defeat at the hands of Governor Cross in 1894 when he sought the gOvcrnorship on the Republican ticket, losing in his own Hartford county by about 15,o00 votes. In 1936, MT. Alcorn was not granted the Republican nomination, al- though he was believed seeking 1t.
 While MT. Pape has been rlon- committal about his desire to "run," evidence that he would seek the Republican nomination has been the reprinting of Republican state press comments on both the Water- bury grand jury and his potential candidacy in his own newspapers since early this year. Tn these "re- prints" Mir. Pape has noted that "the articles are not the opinions of the Republican-Amerfcan, but of the Associated Press tof which Mir. Pape is a director)" or the certain state papers, particulars in Meri- den, where Mir. Pape IS reported to have interest and where he bought the Republican from Francis At- water, of the Meriden Journal, in 1901.
 The Bridgeport Herald noted in an article on MT. Pape last Feb ruary that the Republican was pur- chased for S20,000 in collaboration with William M. Lathrop, of Car bondale, Pa.
 The resolution adopted last night, preceded by comment of MT. 1 SmethurBt and greeted by applause | from the gathering" is quoted from MT. Pape's morning paper, as fol- lows.
 VilGi CdSt VAbNh o1 uRC has served his city and his state for 37 years in such manner as to win the respect, adminis- tration and friendship of his fel- low citizens; and
 Whereas, MT Pape's public record has been one of honest, fearless, tireless effort on behalf of decent government in his state and city and he has kept his in- dependence to wage constant warfare against public greed, cor- ruption and vice wherever found: and
 Whereas, MT. Pape's person. ality, intelligence and character have so impressed his fellow cit- izens that they wish to elevate him to the office of governor, 8 post for which he has been proved eminently qualified;
 Now, therefore, be it re- solved:
 That this convention duly as- sembled does urge upon MT. Pape that he permit his fellow ! citizens to ballot upon his name | for the office of governor of the state of Connecticut to that end that his name be presented be- fore the Republican state con- vention as nominee for that office; and
 That this convention does hereby instruct it's delegates to the state convention to ballot for his nomination"
