ican.Republican is that the same prejudice is found in the Demo- cratic party in Waterbury. Dem- ocrats might ask the editors to cite instances in which the Dem- ocratic leadership has opposed candidates for nomination be- cause of their nationality or re- ligious beliefs.
 The problem, however new 1t may be to the Republican news papers as subject for open discussion, Is largely one for the Republican party to solve. It Is the Republican party in its internal affairs which has suf- fered most because of 1t; it is the Republican party which will gain most by It's solution.
 The .Republican leaders have not been able to win with can- didates they salute as "our kind"; they might do better with candidates of different backgrounds, candidates whose Americanism would stand Che test of comparison with those given the hzayflowcr seal of approval In Che past.
