The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-09-26

Mayor Vincent A. Scully has &C., cepted an invitation to serve as member of the speakers bureau for the Democratic state central com- mittee in the campaign to elect gubernatorial candidate Robert A. Hurley and the rest of the Democra- tic ticket. The mayor will be called on for several important campaign addresses during the next five weeks.
 The invitation and the mayors acceptance have considerable poli- tical significance. In the face of an almost certain victory for Commis- sioner Hurley at the Democratic state convention last month, Mayor Scully came out a few days before the convention for the renomination of ex-Governor Wilbur L. Cross. Then, at the convention, he made the nominating speech for Dr. Cross
 As soon as the convention had nominated Commissioner Hurley, Mayor Scully announced that he would give every possible aid to the victorious candidate. The bid to speak on behalf of Commissioner Hurley and the other candidates for state office came as a result.
 Present plans call for the mayor to speak at several rallies and out ings about the state during the next few weeks, to make principal ad- dress at big rally in Waterbury late in October, and perhaps to
