 Behind Schedule
 The Willkie mouorcade was far behind schedule, not reaching Wa terbury until 2:20 and not arriv- ing at Library park until 2:30. The schedule had called for Willkie to speak at 12:50 D. m.
 Willkie was introduced as "the next president of the United States" by Gov Raymond E Baldwin. On the platform with the nominee were the governor, Paul Cornell, G. o. P. candidate for U. S. Senator; Fralak T. Johnson, candidate for Congressman; Mrs. Willkie, and Alderman c. Arthur Dubois, who represented the city.
 Scully GreetS Willkie
 T!1e motorade paused for a min- ute in front of the City Hall, while Mayor Vincent A. Scully extended an official welcome on behalf of the city.
 The route from the Naugatuck town line to Library Park were lined with crowds, though not as many were on hand as had been expected. Boos were interspersed with cheers as the long line of cars proceeded up South Main street.
 Hits at Hague
 Prank Hague and some of the most corrupt political machines in the country are supporting this ad- ministration during the campaign" said Willkie, his touseld hair blow ing in the stiff breeze" Don't be mised by petty arguments and high sounding phrases; you must remove this administration from office"
 ''The Roosevelt administration, ? he said, "has created more public debt than all previous administra- tions in U. s. history put together. This administration has spent more than two-fifthS of all the money spent by the government of the United States since the nation was founded And that money has been spent in only seven and half years"
 T grant," said Willkie," that the Social Security law is great thing for labor. would even extend it, but do you believe that if this ad- ministration remains in power you will ever get back the money you are paying in?
 More Unemployed
 When this administration took office there were 9.400,000 people unemployed. Now there are 9,600,- O00 But the administration would rather have us talk about interna- tional crises. Some of the claims are shocking beyond words. Has this country one man and only one man who ca nhnadle international af- fairs"
 The administration makes high professions but gives low perform mace. And now it seeks to violate one of the most sacred American traditions. the one against the third term"
 The candidates voice was growing l noticeably husky as he finished his tlak, but he returned to the micro phone for a moment to urge sup port for Cornell, Baldwin and John son. Then. with wave of his hand to the crowds, he left the platform and was escorted through the crowds to his car for ride to The Elton, where he rested briefly and newspapermen and other members | of the party had lunch.
 Screaming sirens, blaring horns and cheers from the onlookers her. aided Willkie's approach through | the streets of Waterbury. Most of the boos that were heard came from | small boys, who also shouted We want Roosevelt"
 It was noticeable that a large | percentage of the crowds was there only to look on, not to cheer. The reception was enthusiastic but hardly comparable to that received by President Roosevelt during his brief visit here in 1886.
