The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-07-21

That high Republican sources felt
 it was better to give than to be
 accused of breaking faith is all
 too evident.
 Hartford is more agog today over its political situation than it has been for many a long month. Re- publicans had been more or less re- signed to the fact that they couldn t throw Mayor Mortensen back into the mayoralty fight. but then to have the Democrats pop up with ex-Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy as their chief contender for the nom- ination-well, that was a little too much. Almost any day now the COP of Hartford may be expected to take to the woods. And you ca3't blame the party. Here they thought they had MT. Spellacy nicely retired from public life for good with a fine mayor of their own choosing seated in City Hall and making reforms guaranteed to bring Hartford to the forefront az11ong American cities. And now they face the possibility of contest ing again with one of the greatest vote-getters the Democrats ever put forward in Hartford. That's enough to make any party take to cover.
 The possibility of Price Director
 Chester Bowles being advanced by
 the Democrats for state or na-
 tional off1ee in 1946 isn't remote
 by any means. There are indica-
 tions already that Mir. Bowles may
 De thrown into the race for the
 governorship, if he hasn't got his
 own mind set right now on rum
 ning for U. s. Senator. It is pre-
 sumed more and more with the
 passage of time that Admiral
 Thomas c. Hart won't try to suc-
 ceed himself when his interim
 term expires. And MT. BowIes, it
 is said. has been known to have
 tendencies toward the Senate if
 his price directing is pretty much
 under control a year from now.
 Also worthy of Democratic con-
 sideration next year for the gov-
 ernorship is the party's able and
 conscientious State Tax Commis-
 sioner. Walter Walsh of New
 Haven.
 It begins to look as if things were going according to Hoyle, Hurley. and Maher. Senator Brien McMahon announced in Washing ton this week that U. s. Attorney Robert Butler will not seek to suc- ceed himself this fall when his term expires. Unless something unfore- seen occurs in between times the position will go to energetic Demo- cratic State Chairman Adrian Maher. MT. Maher had a tough time this past winter and spring attending the legislative sessions and trying to keep order and har- m0ny on the Democratic side of the fence. During his chairmanship there may not have been complete achievement of results, but certainly there has been every indication of the ability of MT. Maher to demand Tor his party what he considers its rights in this old, old game of poli- tics.
 According to reports from Dan. bury the election there in Octo- Der will see three parties on the vesing machines. 4 new party is being organized to present a com. piefe slate Of candidates. It will be comprised entirely of war vet. erans. Mayor John s. Mon- aSan has invited the entire Con- necticut congressional delegation 70 attend the launching Of the z. s.
