The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-07
Political Campaign Gossip
Bx x. E. HENCE

Here we are-the night before the battIe-the votes are decided right now, though not yet cast. It has been the strangest campaign in Water bury for years, almost impossible to analyze- people unwilling to commit themselves keeping their attitude to themselves, but inter- ested just the same and ready to vote.
 The Republicans had fine slO- gan, Recovery and jobs" but just didn't back it up and put it over with sufficient force and logic and argument. A manufacturer or busi- ness man at the head of their fieket--an older candidate for U. s. senator would have worked bet ter. Baldwin was relatively un- known Danaher un-seasOned There are too many uncertainties to reduce the results to mathe- matical approximation but every one can guess.
 Here goes a guess-Waterbury Democratic by 34000 Socialists, 220O in town; Republicans, 15,600 in town, Democrats, 19,000 in town; Gross to win, 12,000-20, 900; Smith to win in district, 1900; Shanley- Koppleman to win; Fitze erald-Phil- lips to lose; Citron close, may lose; L,onergan to win by 25,000-40, 900; Edward P. Egan to win, 2500; Gull hane-G Goss, you guess it; Mahaney- Gustaferri to win. Pennsylvania-O Ohio Republican; New York close, to split; Republicans to gain 60 con- gressmen in nation. Is that sticking your neck out or isn't 1t?
 At any rate the Waterbury cam paign has been clean and digni- fled. Even the Republicas admit the Democratic party has good candidates, the better candidates, KenefalIy. They are voting for some Of them, Lonergan, Cross, Smith, Healey, Egan.
 Seventy-five to eighty per cent of the Independent Democrats are back in the Democratic ranks. Their president, James Hartley sensed this when he came out for all Democrat ic candidate on behalf of his group The others are the trouble-makers who gre dead politically and belong to no party and are no use to any party, just Bolsheviks.
 The mass meeting of the Inde- pendents who met to question Ed ward Egan's nomination was at tended by seven people and three q them endorsed him.
 Patrick Healey will run ahead of the ticket in Waterbury-is assured of 1000 to 1900 Republican votes. He's the logical candidate aside from party considerations
 The Culhane GOss contest is the closest in town. It will be won by q small margin.
 The tendency in the whole state, regardless of party, is conservative, aIttt-new deal, back to common sense government, away from the radicals. The people are thinking, are not being fooled by propaganda or wild promises, can be trusted. Result. more split tickets, more in- dependent thinking and voting, a really interesting election-much more fun that the world series.
 Vote your honest convictions. Your enc vote can decide an elec- tion. Be fair to good candidates. Your franchise is 3 great Ameri- can institution denied in some parts of the world. Future his- tory can be made in this election. Vote and vote thoughtfully. CHARLES STREET

STUDENT HUNTED
ON ROUTES SOUTH
Parents Of Truman Cole, Jr.,
II, Think He May Be
Victim of Amnesia.

The search between Washington
and Jacksonville, Fla, for Truman
w. Cole. jr., 17-year-old son Of an
assistant chief OF the field division,
Bureau Of Animal Husbandry. was
continued today in the belief the
youth may have attempted to drive
to the Florida city, where he formerly
lived.
1t was thought by the boys parents
that he may be suffering from am
nesia caused by neck injury received
in q football game at Woodrow Will
son High School, where he was q
talented student, as well as an ath-
lete.
He was last seen Sunday night by
girl whom he took home from q
birthday party. The hostess at the
party told Mrs. Cole later that her
son complained Of being tired and did
not take part in the dancing or en-
tertainment. The girl said that when
he left her at her home he asked her
to give him directions for getting home
and then drove away.
Mrs. Cole said that since her son
had less than 81 with him and be-
cause he left his wallet containing
about $40 on his dresser when he went
to the party, she did not believe his
departure was premeditated.
She asked today that any persons
recognizing her son through pictures
carried in the papers take him in
charge" and then get in touch with
her. Any expenses incurred in SC
doing, she said. will be paid.
The Coles, who have been here but
q short time. live at 1870 Hunt avenue

LOW PAY IS HELD
DRAIN ON RELIEF
New York Welfare Head
Testifies Before Senate
Unemployment Group.
BY JOHN C. HENRY.

Inadequate wages paid by private
industry compel the New York City
Department Of Public Welfare to sup
plement family income in many cases,
the Senate Unemployment Committee
was told today by William Hodson
welfare commissioner.
Similar action Is necessary In 5000
cases out Of 10000 on w. P. A., he
added. Most Of such need occurs in
large families. 1t was explained, with
rent being q major item of living
costs.
Later, David c. Adie, State welfare
commissioner, testified that In the
city Of Rochester such cases Of wage
experimentation were broken down
with finding that 81 per cent Of the
total cases were privately employed,
while 43 per cent were w. p. A. job
holders.
1t was disclosed by Brehon somer-
veil. w. p. A. administrator for New
York City, that between Is and 90
per cent Of the persons In W. P. A. Jobs
had been in such employment since
1885. Meanwhile, he said, approx
mately $4,000 unemployed eligible for
w. P. A. have been kept on home re-
lief.
Mr.. Hodson testified that relief
families increased in number In New
York City from $4,000 to $4,000 in
January. 1896. The total was back to
$4,000 last December.
During his testimony Mr.. Adie esti-
mated that 100000 persons in the
State are receiving public assistance,
not including those in public institu-
tions or on w. P. A. jobs. The popu-
lation Of New York State is about
$4,000, 900.
Both Mr.. Hodson and Mrs. Adie
emphasized that the whole problem OF
caring for the. needy should be con-
sidered more as . single problem than
Is q collection Of various palliatives.
To achieve this Mr.. Adie suggested al
lowance Of greater discrimination to
State administrations, with support on
Federal-State matching basis. The
State administration then would de-
termine how its relief program best
might be integrated to give persons
jobs or subsistence.

Knighthood Still in Bloom,
For Oaky Doalcs Rides Agaii,,
Comic Strip Starts IL,
The Evenir,g Star
Tomorrow.

The age Of chivalry Is not dead.
Knighthood Is still In flower. Oaky
DoakS rides again.
Oaky Doaks Is the hilarious head
liner Of the Associated Press comic
strip Of the same name, which starts
In The Star tomorrow. A self-made
knight in . suit Of homemade armor,
he brings Justify alive the spirit Of
medieval gallantry.
Oaky DoakS Is 4 mans man, but
he has = keen eye for the ladies,
especially damses in distress. Be-
meath the tin breastplate Of the met
tlesome lad thumps . heart Of gold.
Astride converted plowhorse, this
comic crusader performs incredible
feats Of derring-do as he clanks through
breathless succession Of high-voltage
adventures.
Co-stars in this epic of thud and
blunder are Oaky's paunchy pal. ex-
King Cedric, and his trusty steed,
Nellie. Cedric's well-meant blunder-
ing generally jams them into troubles
which tax the combined resourceful-
ness Of Oaky and Nellie. {.
At present, this oddly assorted trio
Is far afleld. They left their native
haunts to get away from it all, but
succeeded only in getting IN deeper
than ever. They were shanghaied
aboard q magic carpet that really was
magic. Then, after being imprisoned
by the Sultan Of Badgag. they escaped
in tiny boat and were fung ashore
on small, barren island. Cedric fell
in love with q mermaid and was
barely prevented by Oaky from fol-
lowing her to the bottom Of the sea.
You can see that they do get around.
