Gratis Senator Culhane's obstacle
Is the fact that he ran on the Re-
publican ticket two years ago. His
answer to this is that he was OPP
posing the Hayes-Leary-Crary ma
chine in the only way open to him.
Senator Culhane has indicated
he will conduct q clean campaign,
free Of personal criticism and will
abide BY the result to produce
party harmony. Attorney Scully Is
certain TO keep his campaign ON q
high plane, so that q new era Of
party harmony should be In the
citing.
All the rumors that the teachers,
firemen and policemen are for this
or that candidate are false. One
can find them on either side. They
are pretty intelligent and careful
voters and are not stampeded by
politicians promises.
The Culhane supporters chief
weapon Is reference to Scully's Of
flee holding during the Hayes re-
gime though they do not deny, In
all fairness, that he worked hard
and earned what he was paid.
They also point to the fact that
he was appointed Corporation
Counsel by Mayor Hayes in one
of his last official acts. The truth
Of the matter is that Mr.. Scully
turned down the appointment
twice and only accepted finally
because he had been doing the
work of both Claims Attorney and
Corporation Counsel for months
and had a large list of claims and
court cases prepared for trial
while new Republican Corpora
ton Counsel, appointed by Mayor
Perriello, would have had to do
the work all over again.
Culhane Is at the same disad-
vantage rs Mayor Perriello, name
" having to oppose an organize
ton, and he lacks the Independent
Democratic support which he had
when he ran on that ticket and
and the Republican ticket two
years ago. But he has built up a
machine and organization Of his
own to test out in Fridays prim-
AIRY.
Scully has apparently won the
support of the recognized town
committee and regular party, the
new Smith-Lynch group. most Of
the Independent Democrats, and
independent voters, practically the
taxpaying voters but he has re.
fused to let any one Of these
groups claim him as their exclu-
sive candidate.
Senator Culhane and his sup
porters count largely on the pres
tige he gained in stunning against
the city manager plan. Political
analysts think IL Is impossible to
sAy how many mo" votes he won
over and whether they will neces-
sarily follow him in every contest
he enters.
Some old time Democrats feel
that Culhane made too many Re-
publican and other enemies among
the YES" voters and that in a
city election he has $4,000 votes
against him to start with. His sup
porters feel that NOSE of them are
Republican voters but no one
knows the percentage.
Whatever happens, most Demo-
Gratis hope that their party will
present such a fine list of candi-
dates all along the line that the
party will regain its predominant
place in local government and give
waterbury good administration.

The party and luggage aboard, the Repulse will sound her deep base horn, weigh anchor - and King George VI and Queen Eliza beth will be on their way for a 46- day, 16,000-mile visit to Canada and the United States.
 On this trip, the first visit to Canada ever made by a reigning British monarch, King George will leave all British politicians at home. To permit Canadian statesmen to entertain Their Majesties without sharing honors with their English brethren and to avoid implications that the side trip 1n;o the United States is for political purposes, King George has sourrounded himself and his Queen with personal friends, mostly veterans in royal parties.
 In charge of arrangements for the trip is Alan F. Lascelles, 51-year-old acting private secretary to the King. A relative by marriage to the Royal family. Lascelles will be invaluable throughout the journey. He lived in Canada from 1881 to 1895 as secre- tary to the then Governor-general, Lord BeSsborough, and toured Can- ada and the United States on the last trip made by the present Duke of Windsor when he was Prince of Wales.
 The projected voyage is giving
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-03

Lascelles few headaches. He is accustomed to handling trips which entail many, and often per- picking problems, with few res- ervationS, in the hands of their Canadian and American hosts. Most of the details are being ham, dled in North America.
 As Ladies in waiting, Queen Elizabeth will have two of her favorites, both personable and at tractive. Lady Nunburnholme B, daughter of the Marquis of Bath, was bridesmaid at the weddings of Queen Elizabeth and the Princess Royal. Lady Kath- arine Seymour, 38, at one time was a Lady-in-waiting to Queen Mother Mary. They were made Ladies of the Bedchamber in 1897. Others in the party will be: Lord waiting, the 39-year- -old Earl of Eldon, wealthy land- owner; Lord Chamberlain, the Earl of Airlie, Lord in waiting to the late King George V, who accompanied the royal couple on their successful trip to Paris last summer; Capt. Michael Adeane, young assistant private secretary, who lived in Canada for two years recently as aide-de-camp to the governor-general; medical of- ficer, Surgeon Capt. H. E. Y. White, widely traveled veteran servant of the royal family; equerries to the King, Lieut.. Col. Piers Legh and Commander E. M. c. Abel-Smith; press officer, smil- ing, somewhat cynical George F Steward, who for many years has handled neWspapermen assigned to No. 10 Downing Street.
 Mayfair's most exclusive coutur- iers are beating a daily path to Buckingham Palace to prepare Queen EliZabeth's wardrobe for the trip. It will include 50 dresses, as many coats and hat for each day. time ensemble.
 Features of Her Majesty's clothes closet will be new en- semble trimmed in smoky" fox fur from Canada, gracefully cut frocks of fine wool georgette with long matching coats, pleated skirts, shorter hemlines, printed silk and chiffon afternoon dresses with floral designs in pastel shades.
 The Queen will leave her veils at home so that people will be able to see her face better. Her hats will have built up crowns to give her added height, will be decorated with artificial flowers in- stead of the usual feathers.
