and are prepared for 1t. That's the rea-
son they have been giving receipt to
every motorist who pays toll to pass
along the route. These receipts are re-
deenable and in due time may be ex-
changed for the million and more dimes
that have poured into the county
Golfers Incidentally right now the county
has been enjoined from collecting further
tolls. Probably there will be further
court action and no effort made by the
county to turn back the dimes until the
last recourse has been exhausted.
Across the state-line in Connecticut
there won't be much sleep lost over the
courts action in upsetting the toll
scheme. We were pretty much of one
mind that the action was taken as a
repriSal against Connecticut for setting
it's Merritt Parkway toll barriers so close
to the state-line At that, though,

What of the Party?

Charles C.. Foster, the Republican
candidate for mayor, Is being singled out
Of this great city Of over 100000 inhabi-
tants as the sole person disposed to adj
minister the affairs of our government
IN an economical and satisfactory man.
ner. That's tremendous claim and we
don't blame lot OF the voters who de-
eide the city government administration
for remaining bit skeptical week be-
fore the polls open. Yet If you were to
believe the arguments Of the Republican
Party mouthpiece, the only conclusion
you could draw would be that out Of all
the nominated candidates for public Of
flee this fall Mr.. Foster rs the only one OF
any account.
Mr.. Fosters public life was rather brief
to say the least, but in that time he made
good impression on those who came in
contact with him during business hours.
But the same might be said or any num-
Der OF other men who have occupied offices
Of public trust. For example 1t could be
said of the Democratic candidate, Attor-
ney Vincent Scully. We have heard as
much good spoken of him by those who
did business with him when he was Cor
poration Counsel and Claims Attorney.
But 1t seems he Is Democrat and all
Democrats are no good, because some have
not measured up to specifications.
The Socialists are disposed Of because
they have never had chance to show
what they could do with our city govern
1nent. We can't see any logic or justice
In arguments waged along this line. We
don't expect the average voter will see
any either II the Democratic party is to
be condemned out of hand because of
past failings and II the Socialists are ruled
out because OF lack Of experience, how can
the Republicans occupy such an exalted
position? After all, the last and only
Republican administration in the past
thirty years Is no boost today for the
party.
Frankly on the basis OF the Waterbury
Republicans arguments all three parties
are ruled out 1t apparently is up to the
individual candidates And of this score
we don't think that Mr.. Scully need hide
his head. There are many of the same
belief.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-11-08
The Voters Decide

AS generally predicted, Democrats were
successful in Hartford and New Haven at
Yesterdays voting; Socialists in Bridge
port. The incumbent mayors in all three
large cities were returned to office by
substantial margins of victory. 1t is
noticeable, though, that their pluralities
for 1899 we're considerably less in all
instances than two years ago Even the
redoubtabe Mayor Jasper McLevy of
Bridgeport only IL 400 which isn't con-
sidered sensational for him after former
10000 margin victory However, IN
Mayor McLevy's own case it should be
noted that he polled more votes than all
his mayoral adversaries.
In Hartford it was Mayor Spellacy and
his entire ticket by 1890 more votes
than those given Attorney Joseph b. Grit
fin. This is quite in contrast with a
$4,000 majority two years ago, but the
Hartford Courant calls this years margin
a normal Democratic victory and not the
abnormal one of 1887. The same, we pre-
sumo, is true in New Haven where Mayor
John w. Murphy went back into office
by 3,739 majority over Alderman Will
liam c. Celantano. Two years ago Muir
ply likewise had $4,000 majority. Sen
Sational victories those!
You can't blame Republicans for exult-
ing about cutting down the size of the
Democratic vote in Hartford and New
Haven. And we presume both Democrats
and Republicans have something to crow
about in Bridgeport where they Increased
their vote and the former elected an
alderman. But If this trend reveals any
thing about how the crucial 1910 national
and state elections will 60 we fail to see
1t. Nor does yesterdays voting help out
in figuring Waterburys election of next
Tuesday.

If the New Haven Road has to put back
into operation the SO stations in Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut, according to

pany has quite job on its hands - an
expensive one, too Aside from the Legal
complexion of this case we don't Just
see how the courts expect company
faced with financial difficulties without
putting the stations back in use can get
along well with the added financial bur-
den. OF course there may be more to it

RESERVE MANGANESE STOCKS
Hartford Courant)

In the early days Of Connecticut,

ore had a wide reputation for ex-
cellence. The reason has only re-
comfy been discovered. Connecticut

industry, his an unusually large
amount Of manganese In 1t. Man
ganese In combination with iron and
steel has a number Of valuable, and,
In these days Of high specification
steel, essential properties. It makes
the molten metal easier TO handle
and provides more accurate castings.
More important Is the toughness 1t
imparts To steel.
manganese Is a widely distributed
metal, but there are only a few
places, and none of them are In the
United States, where 1t exists In
quantities that are rich enough to
be worth working at normal, peace
time prices. There are a few regions
In the West where, thanks to q
relatively enormous tariff, a little
manganese has been produced. and
new process has been developed
whereby, at relatively large expense
more of our low-grade deposits can
be utilized. But this country is, and
Is likely to remain, almost wholly
dependent on foreign mines for the
enormous quantities Of the metal
1t uses in the manufacture Of steel.
Becase OF our dependence on
foreign sources, the United States
normally carries large surplus Of
manganese, and as a measure Of
defense, the treasury Is purchasing
further stocks, together with sup
plies Of other essential industrial
raw materials that are not pro-
duced In sufficient quantity in this
country to meet our normal needs.
While the possibility that this coun-
try might find itself at war was
probably the immediate cause Of the
purchasing program, 1t has a useful
purpose If the country continues In
its present determination to remain
out Of hostilities, for 1t provides a
cushion that may be used to absorb
price advances caused by increased
requirements Of the belligerents and
a reserve to tide us over If foreign
control of the sources is used as a
lever with which to force conces-
sions by other countries.

Statesmanship

Congressman J. Joseph Smiths courage
in voting against the repeal of the arms
embargo, with the federal judgeship in
the offing, has won him a host of new
admirers and caused a great amount of
comment among many local people who
were solidly against repeal. II takes
courage and sacrifice to stand by ones
honest opinion under such circumstances.

mentators, Drew Pearson and Bob Allen,

courageous vote and there was plenty of
margin also to spare. But people admire

be proud Of its congressman's attitude.

The collecting of tolls along the Hutch
inson River Parkway in Westchester
County, N. Y, gets very severe setback
from the courts in the recent decision of
the Appellate Division in Brooklyn. The
court claimed that the county didn't have
the power to impose the tolls - 10-cents.
That's what others have claimed right
along, even state officials, who declared
that the county was usurping a right that
the Legislature would have to confer upon
1t, but which it hadn't despite the fact
that the Westchester County parkway
system was self built and is self-main-
tanned
OF course the county officials them
selves have been afraid of such ruling
