The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-09-21

Mr. and Mrs. Voter of this state are shortly to become pestered and perhaps annoyed at the continu- ous political propaganda and hot air which they are going to hear every morning. noon and night. They will have politics served with their breakfast, their lunch and, their dinner and if they are wealthy folks they will have it served with their deni-tasse which, in this case would be served af- ter dinner.
 And everywhere you go, every one you talk with, the topic of the conversation will be Politics" and after the final vote has been counted on the 9th of November the same old method of spend- ing the money of the voters will continue. The same old type of political machinations will pre- vail.
 The three parties, Socialist, Re- publicans and Democrats are just about ready to let loose with their overstocked supply of political ammunition, and woe to the poli- tician that ammunition is fired at.
 Many will be the hurt feelings of some of the politicians, and many will be the fireworks which will explode in the faces of those who are now planning on using 1t against their enemies.
 But to the average voter these three -ringed circus promises to give the voter more fun, more amusement for his, or her money, than any political show in years.
 Ringside seats are being chosen, sides are being picked, by the peo- pie who comprise this great, hu- manitarian commonwealth of this state. So pick your partner and make your reservations early for the greatest show on earth. "P0- litical elections"
 Tonight the Democrats in thu 32d district, in case you don't know where the 32d district is, 1t in- cludes Thomaston, Terryville, Woodbury, Watertown and even smaller towns-will select Harry Byrnes of Watertown as their can- didate for the state senate. Byrnes has tough road ahead of him. The district has never gone Demo cratic. Republicans are looking for the scalp of Byrnes and Byrnes on the other hand is look ing for their scalps. Which means my good epople. that a bitter fight is in the offlng.
 Once again I must take bow; Ahem! My prediction of Ernest E. NOvey was correct. NOvey, for mer mayor of the city of Torrng- ton, has been nominated by then Republicans of Litchfield county, as the party's candidate for high sheriff. Novey is popular and makes fine impression. So. place your bets on the fight be- tween MT. Novey and Sheriff Sutherland A. Beckwith. Pick your candidate and use your cigar cou- pom for money. That's what most of us will be compelled to use, that Is unless we all get jobs on Uncle Sam's payroll, the WPA. Cigar cou- pons of course. providing we are lucky enough to find them on the street.
 J. Warren Upson, chairman of the Republican party in Water bury, is reputed as not being too anxious for the Republican Iiom- ination for judge of probate. There are many raised eyebrows among the people in the know in the Brass City as a result of the pulp licity concerning Upson's hesi- tancy in looking for the nomina- ton. I wonder who J. Warren thinks he's fooling? I saw J. War ren at the Republican state con- vention and he no doubt learned something about the game called Politics" from Raymond Baldwin, Republican gubernatorial nomi- nee. Baldwin worked the same game with good results. Upson thinks it might work the same way with him. Maybe yes and maybe no.
 The fight In the fifth congress slonal district for the Republican nomination is q real knock down, drag out battle with no punches and no holds barred. What . show the. delegates are going to witness Saturday at the Elton hotel when Roy Rice, Thomas Wall and William Blodgett have been nominated for the post. m discount . considerable amount of the 'Power'' which Rice is reputed as having. l would like to tell you more about the convention and who will be the successful can- didate but I have given my word to say nothing about the matter until the day before the conven- ton.
