Colonel Mckinney
 Endorses Scully

November 13, 1889. Editor, Waterbury Democrat. Dear Sir:
 As an independent isepubli- can resident in Waterbury for over forty years, | feel obliged to comment on the present complex political situation here. As a representative myself of the colored race, the advice to colored voters by MT. Rhine- hart seems to me as III given for the present leadership of the Republican party Is decidedly clannish with no program of proper representation or re- ward for my people.
 The prejudice of race pre- vails against my people by both major parties yet in making a choice on election day I must In justice to the dictates of my conscience advise my people to vote for the son of the illus trious Mayor Martin Scully. Blood will tell and Attorney Vincent Scully, Democratic can- didate, is for us our best choice for mayor.
 (Signed)
 COL. FABIAN MCKINNEY.

City Clerk
Socialists Success
 Means New Era Here
Political Bartering of Leaders to End--New Industries
 Would Find Waterbury Convenient Locality

Election of a Socialist ticket to. morrow would bring about an era of good feeling in Waterbury in which all will cooperate to rebuild" the city, declared Attorney Frederic c Sinedley, Socialist candidate for con- troller, in radio address yesterday afternoon. He attacked both major parties, claiming that neither would be able to effect the changes that are necessary.
 The working people of the city would benefit greatly by election of the Socialist candidates, said MT Smedley. He asserted that the party's ticket had an appeal to Dem- ocrats, Republicans and Independent voters.
 MT. Smedley said, in part:
 "All Republicans who are sine cerely interested in getting rid of machine domination in the City Hall should also vote Socialist be- cause there will be thousands of people voting Socialist whom the Republicans could never hope to vote Republican. The Socialists therefore have chance to defeat the Democrats whereas the Re- publicans have not. The Demo- crats know this and frankly ad- init that we are the party they fear may overthrow them. There fore if you really want to take the Democratic machine out of the City Hall, you should not throw yoir vote away by voting Republi- can but should vote for a new broom that will sweep clean and pull the third lever.
 Political Bargaining
 All the members Of the various political groups that have sprung up in countless numbers around the town should likewise vote for us and stop allowing their leaders to use their votes as means of getting political jobs or other fay- ors for the leaders of the groups and little or nothing for the rank and file membership of the group, who have to pay for the favors given not only to the leaders of their own group but to the lead- CTS of the other groups too.
 Finally, we feel that the grour in the community who find them selves barely able to exist on such charity as the city can afford to give them through It's welfare de- partment or on Federal Relief funds should vote for Us, because we know and appreciate their problems. The leader of our ticket has found himself, in the prime of life, cast aside by industry, through no fault of his own but simply because the company he worked for suddenly decided to have the work he did done for 1t by another company. He has ex- perienced the difficulties that face all men over fifty in looking for new place in industry and has himself had to take pick and shovel w. P. A. job. He knows and can appreciate your problems from his personal experience, and will not treat you as a blot on the landscape that might better be removed. Those of you who are able to work will probably fina work during our administrations because new industries would move into Waterbury as they did 10 Bridgeport and Milwaukee as soon as the benefits of doing business in c town which is being given the good government which Socialists always give, become apparent.

Socialists were the only ones facing the issues squarely.
 Waterbury's situation is like Bridgeport's when he took office, the Park City mayor said. A change to a Socialist administration would be of great benefit to Waterbury and It's people, he said.
 John Shenton, city treasurer of Bridgeport, claimed that a Socialist administration would be able to effect important economics in the city government.
 Other speakers were John w Ring, candidate for mayor; Frederic c. Smedley, candidate for control Ter; Raymond c. Smith and Clayre Driscoll, candidates for the board oi aldermen.

Foster Challenged
 To Prove Shortage
Negligent as Citizen for Failing to Report Alleged De-
 faIcation Charges Scully in Special Broadcast

Attorney Vincent A. Scully, Democratic candidate TOT mayor, in a radio address Saturday night an- swered the charge of the Republican nominee, Charles c. Foster, that there is a shortage of "$50,000 or more" in the tax collectors office, He declared that last week the au- ditors, Griffenhagen 6s Associates, had reported the shortage to be $2.- TOO, and said that if MT. Foster had other information concerning greater shortage he should have placed the data in the hands of the states attorney for action.
 If the Republican nominee has such information, MT. Scully said, The has been guilty of neglectipg his duty as a citizen for purely poe litical purposes"
 Malicious Remarks
 T can say that the remarks of the Republican candidate, insofar as they may be applied to me or to any persons closely associated with me, are malicious and untrue" said MT. Scully.
 MT. Scully asserted that the Re- publican press was seeking to 'smear" honest citizens by claiming "there is no decent citizen who will vote for the Scully ticket" He de- cried the "mud-slinging" campaign of the Republican and American and the G. o. P. candidates"
 The Democratic nominee de- scribed the tax office situation as follows:
 Some months ago. 1t was re- ported that there was a shortage in the Tax Collectors office. It is claimed that the amount in- volved was about $2,500. All of- ficers and employees of the Tax Collectors office are bonded. City officials promptly notified the States Attorneys office and bond ing companies. The matter re- ceived considerable publicity at the time and does not present such 6 new picture as to warrant political sensationalism on Armis- tice Day or on the eve of an elec- ton, unless the Republican can- didate for mayor feels that he is desperate and must have this sort of indefinite and untrue material to bolster Up his campaign.
 Quotes Republican
 The Waterbury Republican of July l4th, 1889, stated in part as follows:
 Shortage of $S,o0oOo in City Tax Books.
 Finance Board Votes $7,S0000 for Complete Audit.
 Griffenhagen Report Indicates Dedication:
 Bonding Firm Notified by Com missioners as Routine Step.
 Former Woman Employe Denies Responsibility for Deficit. . The Waterbury Republican of July 18th, 1889, quoted Major w. Judge, Republican member of the Board of Finance, as follows: Neither the Board of Finance or the Corporation Counsel can start any action until the audit is cOmpleJeu.
 The Republican of July 18th, 1889, quoted Charles J. McLaugh- lin, State Tax Commissioner, as follows:
 Amy action his office may take in Waterbury, Commissioner Me- Laughlin explained, will come as the result of the audit, and the State will not take a hand until the audit is completed. It has been estimated that to do the work now contemplated, Griffen- hagen & Associates will require at least three months more."
 American Report
 The Waterbury American of August 18th, 1889. referring to the Tax Collector. said:
 "Tax Collector, William A. En- his, said today that delay in
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-11-13

credit!ng tax payments which were made by mail, led to the criticism of the city auditors that proper interest had not been charged.
 He said that he has started an examination of each of the twen- ty cases cited in the Griffenhagen & Associates audit report, and that so far he has found that the interest was not charged because the tax payments were in the mail on the due date but not entered in the books until sometime la- ter"
 The minutes of the Board of AL dermen for October 30th, 1889, contained the following:
 Alderman Kingston reported that 1t would be some time before the audit of the Tax Collectors books would be completed, and that, from the information which he had been able to obtain, there is an approximate shortage of $2,200.00 in these accounts.
 On motion of Alderman King ston, duly seconded, the following vote was passed, to wit:
 VOTED:-That Griffenhagen & Associates submit a partial report of the audit of the Tax Collectors records at @ meeting of this Board to be held Monday, Nov ember 9th, 1939."
 S2,774o1 Deficit
 Pursuant to said vote, Griffen- hagen & Associates reported that the work involved was still under way and that they have as yet been unable to complete 1t. They state that to date a cash shortage of $2,774.0i has been definitely es- tablished.
 All this material indicates clearly that the matters involved have been under the consideration of our Board of Aldermen and our Board of Finance, both Republi- can controlled, for months and that the public has been fully in- formed.
 These are matters I assume MT. Foster had reference to. If MT. Foster has reference to matters outside the scope. of the invest igation being made by Griffen. hagen & Associates I say that If MT. Foster came into possession yesterday of this information, he should have proceeded directly to the office of the States Attorney. If he actually had such alleged information earlier, and if he has concealed 1t, hoping to spring 1t so late in political campaign as to avoid refutation, then he him. self is guilty of exactly what he charges to his opponents. He has been guilty of neglecting his duty as a citizen for purely selfish po- litical purposes. But I don't think that this is the case. think that this is only final and rather desperate effort to deize an ad- vantage on which they had vainly relied.
 The Republican leadership has been surprised to finG the citizens of Waterbury capable of dis crimination. They have found that they undeyestimated the in- telligence of the Waterbury vot- CTS. They had hoped that they could smear the Democra tic can- didates by indirection. They have been forced to admit the integrity and decency of the Democratic ticket, but they have been att tempting to paint a background which was unsavoury. They for got that the people would realize that men and women who are themselves decent cannot be guil- ty of acting as q front for such a background as they describe. They now descend to direct per- sonal abuse and attacks. a4m Wmus4fsf sf1mawa-ZNL Hm AA~
