The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-04-09

warrants editorial consideration on the part of every newspaper in Connecticut.
 Only to the fact that MT. Talbot recently announced that he would not be available as a candidate for Congressman, the latest effort of his local friends to nominate him for high honors will be watched with more than passing interest. Joe" Talbot is right out in front, he has the necessary following, he has the necessary ability, but whether or not he is in a receptive mood is a question which must first be answered before his boosters seek places on the .offical delegation to continue their fight for his nomin- ation.
 MT. McHugh Writes
 MT. Hugh's letter to the Democrat reads as follows:
 April g, 1940,
 Waterbury, Conn.
 Now that the time is rapidly approaching that delegates to var ious conventions, will nominate candidates to represent the Re- publican party, in the fall elec- tion, I sincerely wish that it was within my power to have this article I am writing, printed on the Editorial Page of every news paper in the State of Connecticut that Republicans read. Not that I consider myself, particularly qualified to write editorials for any newspaper, but because, I believe, I have message that should be given due consideration by the voters of the Republican party, who select delegates to Conven- tions to represent them, who in turn nominate candidates for of- flee; and because news definitely pertaining to the welfare of the citizens of this country of ours, is looked for and found on the editorial pages of all newspapers by the public.
 The type of candidates nomi- mated on the Republican ticket this fall will have great deal to do with the success or failure of the party. A duty delegates must per- form, is to nominate candidate on the Republican ticket for the post of United States Senator. A 1 candidate as brilliant and qualified to execute his duties as our present Republican Senator from Connec- ticut, John A. Danaher of Meri- den, is imperative. MT. Danaher's record and the high esteem he is held, in Washington and the coun- try at large, is an example of what the Republican party can expect in the future by placing before the electorate as candidates, the proper high type individuals.
 Proven Ability
 The delegates, who will be re- sponsible for this nomination, un- less dictated to otherwise, have an of nominating young man who has proven his worth, as a public servant, and his record reflects credit on the party and the delegates who nominated him for the post of the States Treasurer in the fall of 1888. The confidence entrusted in Joseph E. Talbot by the voters of the State of Connecticut and the party was not mis- placed. He has shown his appre- citation by diligently applying himself to his task and has served his state and the public in it, every day in the year since he took office.
 A public statement made by Governor Raymond E. Baldwin that the efficiency in the State office was one of the nigh lights of his administration. The public for their protection need men like Joseph E. Talbot, in he higher branches of our govern nent and the Republican Party, most certainly owe MT. Talbot, he opportunity to compete for he position of United States Sem ator. from Connecticut, because ,f the fact. that he spends over hree hundred nights a year for their interests.
 Communities throughout the State of Connecticut obligated to Toe Talbot because of his numer- 'us nightly visits teaching the loctrine of Republicanism to peo- ,le desiring to embrace the Repub- lcan party and to Republicans that want to be enlightened, owe it to themselves to see that the dele .ates representing them at the that will nominate andidate for United States Sen- tor is fully acquainted with the ne hundred per cent service that 1r. Talbot has rendered the State f Connecticut and the Republi- an party.
 OppOsitiOn's Views
 The only comments heard from he opposition parties pertaining 9 Joe Talbot, is that. he is an oneSt, qualified and brilliant pub c servant. and a credit to any arty. What better representa- i've could the Republican party of ne State of Connecticut, send to ne Unted States Senate to ad- mister the affairs of all of the
