Vincent scully was oil through his life.
 on the other hand tho Republi- can party is more active Nt this early date than they have been in 26 years,
 The Young Mems Republican Club and tho leaders of the party are getting closer together than they ever did, It Is the year that harmony and close cooperation by All factions of the party is VitNlly necessary,
 Thousands of Democrats will not even vote this year for various other reasons than dissatisfaction,
 Republicans will vote because of tho interest and working force that Is being knitted together by active Republicans. Republican leaders alone can upset this picture by forcing on the interested Republi- cans 0 weak and unknown ticket.
 Various names have been men- tioned to head tho Republican ticket this year 0 condition which exists every two years and which for 0 number of years winds up with Q candidate favorable to tho party leader copping tho nomination with the exception of two years ago when Patrick Perriello was forced on them because they could not find man to oppose him. This year tho leaders must pick 0 man who can get Demo. cratic votes away from the people controlling tho Democratic party, They can not afford to nominate to any office unknown Republicans unknown even to Republican voters They ean not afford to nominate has beons or any one tainted with tho disploAsure of any racial or religious group,
 Tho leaders of the Republican party have passed the word along thNt this is tho year that Q prom. inent Irish. American should head tho Republican ticket, The Irish connected with tho Republican party have held their tongue, but know in tho heart that this !S ono time the Republican leaders are on tho right track.
 The majority of them also know the man in the Irish. American group, who has the largest following of any lrish.American in the City Of Waterbury.
 Mortimer J. Calvin, . prominent business man in Waterbury, Is the one candidate, who with the proper supporting ticket can sweep 6 full Republican state into office. He Is honest, capable, and clean living young man without on enemy In the whole city. A man as- sociate in business with him for six years declared to U group q short time ago that Mort Calvin was as honest and clean living nG any man in the state. He is Q man that knows the value of Q dollar an indication that the Waterbury public's money would be handled in q manner beneficial to them.
 He Is a college graduate, 6 suc- cessful business man, man not lookingfor & job, . man that knows just what kind Of an administration the ordinary voters of the city wants, Q man that at all times has been loyal to the Republican party, devoting his time and money to the cause when 1t was hopeless. A man, who when he ran for city clerk a few years back lost by only 8 votes and could have won had he cam paigned for himself, but who re- fused to do so stating at the time he did not want to win unless the complete Republican ticket won also Mort to the leaders at this date because of personal feelings may not be acceptable, but if those same leaders want to win, want harmony in the party, and want a man with a real following 1t behooves them to analize this mans worth to the Republican party and his value tC every citizen in the City of Water bury.
 I personally have. heard hundreds of Democrats claim that they would solidly support Mort Calvin and am convinced like hundreds of others that he could easily defeat John Monagan should he be the Democratic choice as their top man on their ticket.
 JOHN McHUGH, A Republican.
