The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-08-30
Endorsement Recipients

There seems to be some perturbation in Bridgeport over the fact that Demo crats down there may nominate can didate for the office of Judge of Probate other than the incumbent who has been given endorsement of both Republicans and Democrats for several successive terms and who is one of the few public officials not identified with the Socialist Party in Bridgeport. The Bridgeport Telegram believes that where probate judge has proved himself efficient and non-partisan in the conduct of his office he deserves the endorsement of all politi- cal parties.
 In Waterbury this has been done in the past. Judge D. J. Slavin several times enjoyed the endorsement of the Republi- can Party, although he was the Demo- cratic candidate. And the same thing happens all over this state, particularly so in the larger probate districts where service records of the incumbent judges are apt to be based not so much on polit- ical expediency as on public duty.
 It begins to look as if similar record of public achievement were to be written in the Waterbury probate district again, for in the past two years Judge Patrick dealey Has won the respect ana the dQ- miration of all who have done business with his court. His conduct of it has been exemplary. It goes without ques- tion that he will be the Democratic Party's nominee again this fall; it re- mains to be seen whether Republicans will agree that the theory of endorsement for the probate judgeship should be ex- tended to him. It has been done in the past; we see no reason why it couldn't be done again.
