Of '.Hot" Issues
 Causes Voter Apathy

Party's incumbent status by defeat ing Charles Foster as @ per cent of the total registered voters went to the polls. AS is apparent, local Issues were paramount in both such elections as hot issues.
 In iSzi, after the fate Mayor Scully's first outstanding term, the total numbers of active voters de- creased to 75 per cent. This was before Pearl Harbor and the sub- sequent war years. Thus in four years 10 per cent fewer voters ap- peared at the polls. In 1043, in the heart of the war years, Mayor John 8. Monagan, running for his first elective term, defeated John J. Kearney while only total of ap- proximately 59 per cent of the reg istered voters turned out-about 16 per cent less than two years previous and 26 per cent less than in 1887.
 Yet to somewhat confuse the issue we can turn to the figures of 1914. when national and state can- didates were on the platform. and in Waterbury we find that e3 per cent of the registered voters turned out or 24 per cent more than the year previous and eight per cent more than in 1041.
