MAYOR INTERESTED IN SOLDIERS VOTE
Suggestion of Troops Re- turning Home Election
 Day Considered

Waterbury men now serving with the U. s. Army may be able to secure one-day leaves to enable them to participate in the munich pal elections on November 4, follow ing the practice which has been adopted for men recruited from BoS- ton.
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully said last night that he would seriously con- sider the proposal to request the War Department to allow men in nearby camps to return home for the day. Senator David Walsh ob- tained such permission from the army officials for soldiers from the Boston area, and it has been sug- gested that Congressman J. Joseph Smith might secure the same privt- lege for Waterbury's draftees. Prob ably only those at Fort Devens and Camp Edwards could make the round trip in day.
 The mayor said he had not con- sidered the idea before, but that 1t seemed Q good one, and that he might ask Congressman Smith about its feasibility.
 Under a recently adopted pro- vision of the voting law, most of the Waterbury men in the service can vote by absentee ballot, and plans are already being made by both parties for the sending out of these ballots to the various army camps.
