The members themselves did not
know the unconstitutional action
until they read the article that
appeared in the morning paper.
Mr.. Barbieri said:
II am here because I believe
in good government and I believe
the Republican party Is the only
one that can give 1t; I and my
club are for Anthony Petrillo can
didate for tax collector, and for
all the rest Of the Republican
ticket" (Unquote)
Mr.. Domeric Barbieri, you have
all the right as an individual to
support any one you like, but do
you realize that your opinion is
void without consent Of the board
and the assembly, therefore why
the grand stand play?
Lest you forget, allow RE to re-
mind you that you and your col
leagues left the regular Italian
Democratic club, for the same
principles that you are now en-
dorsing as a Republican.
I, as third vice president of the
italian Independent Democratic
club, am In a position to tell the
truth for the good of the club.
You gave certain officials of the
Republican party the clubs mem
bership on the strength Of your
followers.
Perhaps these facts might en-
tighten your mind title. We have
sol members, out Of these 301
members 100 members who vote.
I have the facts in my possess
sion II you doubt my statement

To the legal voters Of the Ital-
Ian Independent Democratic club,
I ask each and every one Of you

The Independent italian Demo-
cratic club gave no authorization to
Its president, Domenic Barbieri, to
declare support for the Republican
ticket, asserts Pasquale A. Travisano,
vice president of the organization,
In a public statement today. Mr..
Travisano claims that Mr.. Barbieri
did not notify officers or members Of
the club Of plans for any such an
nouncement because he was afraid
that we would vote 1t down."
Mr.. Travisano says that members
of the club knew nothing Of Mr..
Barbieri's espousal Of the Republican
cause until they read Of 1t In the
newspapers. He urges that the club
members ignore Mr.. Barbieri's stand
and support the ticket headed by
Vincent A. Scumlly for mayor.
The statement declares that MFR.
Barbieri's announcement was q
grand stand play"
Mr.. Barbieri, a former Democratic
selectman, ran two years ago for city
sheriff as the candidate OF the Re-
publican and Independent Demo-
cratic parties but was defeated. In
the Democratic primary battle this
year he supported Senator George
r. Culhane.

Young Democrats Ask
Electorate's Support
Attorney Monagan, Adermanic Candidate, Points Out
Qualifications of Democratic Nominees

given the board Of aldermen by the
city charter, explaining that the
board functions as the legislative
branch of the city government. The
Democratic candidates, he said,
would act Independently and would
vote for the citys best interests.
IF you elect a Democratic ma
jority to the board of aldermen
said Mr.. Monagan, "there will be no
strings or hidden wires. There will
be no opportunity to apply the we'll
worn symbol Of the ventriloquist and
his dummy. There will be return
to bipartisan government at its best
The city will at last be able to boast
legislative body which will be de-
Lucrative in the finest traditional
sense of the word. One and only one
factor will influence this board
what Is best for Waterbury and its
citizens"
Referring to the eight nominees
Of the Democratic party for the al
dermanic board, he said:
"As with practically all the can
didates, the arresting fact about these
men Is that none of them has been
prominently identified with politi-
cal activity. Some have to q certain
extent been interested in party af-
fairs heretofore. Others remained In
the background until the recent
drive to rehabilitate the organiza-
ton. BY this very token, no respon-
sibility for any inisrnanagement can
be imputed to them. A vital consid-
Grafton Is passing upon the merits Of
these candidates is the fact that
none Of them is dependent upon the
city or the party for his livelihood.
All have sufficiently remunerative
positions in private, business or are
members of professions. AL are COM
petent In their chosen fields"
