5000 or 10000. If the vote Is

The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-01-17

Apparently the campaign man
ayers are worried, judging from the
importation of speaking talent this
week.
Despite the unfortunate appear
ance which the local Republican
organization had in bringing State
Chairman j. Kenneth Bradley in
the city election campaign, ex-
Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin was
brought in TO make several speeches
for Mr.. Talbot. In addition, direc-
ton OF the Talbot campaign was
taken over by Republican state
headquarters.
On the Democratic side, Gov.
Robert A. Hurley and Secretary Of
State Chase Going Woodhouse were
called on to speak for Mr.. Monagan
earlier in the week, and u. S. Sen
ator Francis r. Maloney came from
Washington to speak for him last
night.
Jittery nerves ON the part of
both major party camps are dis
cernible as the campaign goes into
its last few days. Tempers grow
short as alarming rlmors flew
thick and fast.
In justice to Mr.. Monagan and
Mr.. Talbot it should be pointed out
that they have made themselves
more direct and specific during the
past week. But voters are still en-
titled to know more than that both
are for victory in the war, that Mr.
Moragan believes a Democrat can
best help the war effort and Mi.
Talbot that a Republican would be
more valuable, that Mr.. Monagan
holds that labor gains should be
preserved and Mr.. Talbot that small
business men should be given aid.
The outcome of the election
Tuesday depends in large measure
on whether the Democrats or Re-
publicans will be more successful
in getting out the vote. Success
of the Democrats in getting out a
heavy party vote in Waterbury,
TOrringtOn, Derby and AnsOnia

Whatever excitement has been

During a radio speech this week,
MIR. Monagan declared that he was

but rather in conducting an
earnest, factual campaign. The
trouble Is that, as far as the pub
lie Is concerned, the facts of his
stand on major issues are largely
unrevealed.
Mr.. Talbot is guilty Of the same
reticence, to a large extent. The
