Socialists Give Answer to MT. Pape's Comments
Conlon In Initial
 Campaign Broadcast
Democrat Candidate For Controller Declares Party
 Deserves Full Support of Waterbury Voters

Thomas M. Conlon, Democratic
 candidate for city controller, de-
 clared in a radio address last night
 that the Democratic ticket deserves the full support of Waterbury vot- CTS The recent civic scandal was a
 "common disaster, he said, and the question now before the city is to choose the candidates best qualified for office.
 He accepted the Democratic nom- nation not through any political ambitions but because of a feeling that 1t is every citizens duty to acc cept an opportunity for public ser- vice, MT. Conlon said. He expressed confidence in his ability to perform ably the duties of controller. Free Conduct
 MT. Conlon said that in taking the nomination he had been assured by Vincent A. Scully, Democratic
 candidate for mayor, that he would
 be entirely free in the conduct of
 the office, that he would not be
 bound by any political considera- |'tions He said that MT. Scully told
 him that the office in charge of the
 city's finances should be kept free from partisan politics.
 It is arguing against the two- party system of government to claim that the Republicans should now be
 given control of the city administra-
 ton because of actions of previous
 Democratic administration, MT Con- lon asserted.
 "Why should the Republican

a position to give them an admin istration so fine that they will want him to stay as their mayor as long as he is physically able to carry out the duties of his office.
 In conclusion, MT. Pape, we want to say that we have pur- posely framed this statement with the idea of getting under your skin @ little because after we are in office, we want you to be a lt- tie bit mad a. us for proving you so grossly wrong as, 8 political prognisticator and so grossly in- effective as a party boss. We think if you are a little mad at us you will watch us very, very closely and we want to be watched very closely and will give you every op- portunity to put your microscope on everything We do because we think you can be of great service to the city and to us in case, in spite of our good intentions, we make any mistakes. We want you to bounce on any such mistakes right away and thus give us an op- portunity to correct them before they do any serious injury to our program of municipal government of, by and for all the people, as contrasted to the government of, by and for political machine that we have had in Waterbury under the two party" system at least since the beginning of Mayor Sandland's administration.
 The role of constructive critic of the city government is a prop CT one for the publisher of the city's leading paper to take. We advise you to stick to that role and stop trying to be the dictator of the local Republican party and through it, of the city.

day Republican. The assertions in the editorial are declared by the So- cialists to be "transparently illogic- al and absurd"
 The statement declares that MT. Pape, with an airy wave of the hand to dismiss the Socialists from the campaign as something not be be reckoned with"
 we know, says the statement, that his readers are not so simple minded and ignorant as MT. Pape seems to think they are"
 It Is alleged that both major part les have been hiding behind fancy frontS", and that Waterbury has been dominated by political ma- chine" since the beginning of the administration of the late Mayor Sandland.
 Deleted Says Smedley
 Frederic c. Smedley, Socialist can- didate for controller, said this morn ing that important parts of the statement had been deleted by The Republican this morning
 The Socialist statement follows, in full:
 The following statement has been approved by the Waterbury Local of the Socialist Party of Connecticut at its regular weekly meeting held November 1st, 1899, as an official reply to the editor- ial remarks headed Mrs. Smith Buys Butter" contained on pages l and of the Sunday Republican dater October 29th, 1899.
 These remarks are addressed to MT. Pape, owner and publisher of the Waterbury Republican and American, on the assumption that no one but the owner of the paper would dare submit for publication statements so transparently illog- ical and absurd as those contain- ed in the article under discussion. The article is obviously a labored attempt to talk down to what the writer considers more or less simple-minded and ignorant read-

Police Manuals To Be Revised
 Alter p years

Policemen may soon obtain new and revised manuals after 22 years.
 Chairman William K. Simp- son, at g meeting of the police commission yesterday after noon, said the latest manuals were published in 1917, and a few of the rules may now be obsolete, or need revision.
 It was brought out that the copies now in circulation are somewhat in the nature of a rarity and new men must ask older members of the force to learn about the rules.
 The board voted to have the rules committee revise the manual so that copies might be printed next year.

And we, the members of the Waterbury local of the So- cialist party of Connecticut, who know John Ring long and inti- mately, who have seen him pre- side at our meetings in his quiet but effective way, can assure the voters of Waterbury that we have man in town who can equal the record that Jasper McLevy has made in Bridgeport and that the voters will not be misplacing their confidence when they place John Ring in the mayors office, but will find in him @ sensible, honest and able administrator who will be in

The contest in this years city elec- ton is between the Democrats and the Socialists, with the Republican party mot even in the picture", de- clares the Socialist party of Water bury today in a statement addressed to William J. Pape, local publisher. The statement labels the G. o. P. as MT. Pape's particular pet" and urges the publisher to "stop trying to be the dictator of the local Re- publican party and through it of the city"

 just because it was "the thing to do" or from force of habit. Now that the public has found that both of the other stores are not interested in the consumers well fare and do not have the ideal of service to their customers in mind at all, but are simply in business to charge all the traffic can bear and sell all the poor merchandise that they can get their customers to absorb, there is about to be a

Makes Emergency Delivery in Answer to Phone Call

MILFORD Novsl-A druggist who de. livered an emergency prescription in the middle of the night probably saved life, according to the sccount of Katherine Nash, Milford night telephone operator.
 Around midnight one of our sub. scribers called to ask my help," she ex. plained. T could tell from the tone of her voice that she was very much disturbed. Her husband was seriously ill, and 1t was urgent that she have . prescription filled immediately. She had tried to reach the drug store by telephone, but 1t was closed for the night. So l offered to call her druggist at his home. It was only matter of minutes before he was on his way to fill the prescription. Next day, our subscriber called to say that the medicine had arrived on time.
 Ready =. When Need Arises
 Eve learned two lessons as the result of working on the telephone switchboard" !" continued night operator Katherine Nash. First, no one likes to be called back to his place of business in the middle of the night. But in times of real emergency your druggist is always glad to help. However, when it is possible to anticipate the need for prescription, 1t is only fair to call your druggist as long in advance of closing time as possible. Second, the tele. phone is worth its small cost, if only for the protection 1t gives at night. People feel more secure, knowing they can call the police or fire departments, or the doctor. simply by reaching for the tele. phone."
 Why not enjoy the benefits of teIe- phone in your home? You can give your order to any telephone employee. Or if you prefer, telephone or visit the near est business office. The Southern New England Telephone Company.

Political Sidelights
By THE OBSERVER

The United Press prediction of V Scully victory in Waterbury is based on an impartial survey. Among Republicans as woll as Democrats there is pretty gen. eral feeling of Democratic vic- tory by a comfortable margin. Most political observers will tell you that SS per cent of the peo- pie made up their minds as soon as the candidates were announced. The actual campaigning and Speech-making, while entertain Ing, rarely alters the result ex- cept in very close cases.

The taxpayers rather than the rOlitical-minded voters will de- termine this election. Political tricks are out of order although some Republican big wigs are despearte enough to try any thing. A couple of unimport- ant Democrats have been ap- preached and are flirting but their followers will not go along with them and they are power- less and valueiess by them selves.

 candidate for tax collector is as popular and respected a candi- date as you can find on either ticket. A loyal hard working candidate for over 30 years and never politically ambitious, he has the respect, confidence and affection of Waterbury's Italian population and of people gener- ally, with Q wide acquaintance added.

 The thorough changes in the Democratic ticket eliminated :. many officials who have held office for long periods, but these men have realized the political necessity of giving way to others and to new faces and have been very considerate and loyal.
 Circumstances have made the controllers position an im- portant one in an unusual degree. The educational qualifications of Thomas Conlon, the Democra- Eic candidate are such as any city would seek if hiring a man instead of electing him. Water bury's voters will be likely to flavor a non-political candidate such as MT. Conlon, and those who know him say he will fill the position with credit, si
 MT. Scully's pledge of real 2 bipartisan board appointments under the charter, reminds the old.timers of the fine Republi- can citizens on his fathers , boards, who contributed to one of Waterbury's most successful administrations and account for the large Republican con- fidence in and support of the present candidate.
 Joseph Happy" Shea for a young man is known to more peo- pie than most men of his age. His many years in amateur ath- letics and his sportsmanship on the field of sport make him a very popular candidate. Joe will make good in public office.
 The conditions which produced thc large Socialist protest vote Of a year ago have largely dis. appeared. Many voters, both Republican and Democrats, learned what strange results can happen when one votes blindly. One does not hear any talk of voting Socialist such as was heard last year. Vincent Scully, like his father, will be "the peoples mayor.
 The most frequently heard ex- pression among Democrats is that the party will be redeemed locally and will give an administration of city affairs of which every Demo- crat will be proud. The party seems united again in this com mon purpose.

ON FISH
IN FALLS DISTRICT

Native trout in mountain wa
tiers of the Great Falls district
are being attacked by code
pods, parasites that attach
themselves to fish near the gills,-
according to State Game War
den James "A. Weaver. Officials:
of the department, in coopera-
ton with representatives Of the
state livestock sanitary board,
and the U. S. biological survey,
are studying the problem.
According to the biological
survey, codepods are not I'M
common to fish, but never be-
fore have been found attack
ing trout. There is no known
method of keeping the para
sites from attacking fish, it is
said.
