Waterville, Nov. 6- The voters of Waterville have @ greater interest than usual in the city election next week, due to the fact that there are three local candidates on the tickets of the Republican and Democratic parties.
 In the nomination of James B. Morrow of Essex avenue, for the office of City treasurer on the Re- publican ticket, Waterville for the first time in the history of either party, has 8 candidate for one of the major offices on the ticket. MT. Morrow has been associated with the Waterbury National bank for many years and Is well known in financial circles.
 He has been treasurer of the Fairmount Community Club since It's organization and has served as secretary of the Waterville Com- munity council. He has long been an active worker for his party and t
 now representing this section as a member of the Republican Town committee.
 For the first time, the Waterville section has the opportunity of elect ing two members of the Board of Aldermen, since under the present method of election both nominees may be elected. The Republicans have re-nominated o. Arthur Du- Bois of Cooke street and the Demo- crats have named Patrick P. Shea Of Cooke street.
 MT. Shea has the honor of being the first Democratic nominee for Board of Aldermen from the Water vile section of the city. He Is as. sociated with the Chase Companies; is president of St. Michael's Holy Name Society; chairman of the Wa terville Community Council; pres- ident of the Waterbury Council of Holy Name Societies; and @ member of the Tribune Athletic Club; the Chase Foreman's Association; and the Chase Country Club.
 Mir. DuBois has been member of the Board of Aldermen for tke past twelve years, having been first elect ed in 1927. He Is now running for his seventh consecutive term, and, if elected, will be the senior member of the entire board. He Is @ graduate of Yale University and has been as. sociated with the Scovill Manufac- turing Company for more than twenty years. He has resided in Wa terville continuously during that period. He is @ past commander of Casper s. Davis Post, No. l36, Amer. ican Legion, serving as it's first com- rnander in 1934-35, and has also served as Q state officer of the Le- zion. He is past chairman of the Waterville Community Council, and was formerly member of the ex- ecutive committee of the Waterbury Chapter of the American Red Gross, and 6 director of the Waterbury Chapter of the Connecticut Merit System Association. At present he Is serving as member of the board of directors of the Lincoln House As. sociation, the Waterbury Mutual Aid Unemployment Fund and the Con- necticut Chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Management.
 He is also a member of St. Mich-- ael's Holy Name Society, Scoviu Foremen's Association, and the Wa terbury Lodge of Elks. From 1928 through 1887, he served as an ap- pointive member of the Board of Commissioners of Public Works.
 The re-districting of the voting districts of the city which was ef- fective last year removed from Wa terville the strong Republican area south of Homer street, which m- cludes Cooke street and Faber Hill. As a result, voting in the district under normal conditions should be very close, neither. major party hav- ing a decisive advantage. The 1888 election failed to give true picture of the political, complexion of the new district, since 1t was compli- cated by the abnormal Socialist vote which was drawn from both parties. As Q result the local results of this falls elections will be watched with more than ordinary interest by ell party leaders. ("
