’ " Bartlett and Quigley Steam Up Campaign for G. 0. P. Nomination For Mayor In 5th Ward Rallies Bartlett Declares Oppo- nent Cannot Reduce Tax Rate and Asks How He Can Keep Expenses Down When He Could Not Do So While Mayor. Declaring that his opponent for the republican nomination mayor, Georzd A. Quigley, making promises which he coull not keep, Donald L. Bartlett, con- tinued his criticism of Quigley at a rally at the Falcon hall on Broal street last nignt. After pointing out how the tax rate in this city increased during the six years former Mayor Quigley was in office, Bartlctt stated that e vas making no promises which he could not keep after the election was over. “It would be a for me.to stand here before you and tell vou that if mayor I will cut the ta city. I won't make any mer In fact no one can, but T promise that 1 will try my best to reduce the taxes,” he said. Calls Quigley Incapable Bartlett charged that his oppo- for simple matter rate in th nent was not capable of supervising | the work as the chief executive of the city. “When my epponent be- his duties as mayor, the city w about half the size it is today. I¢ he could not keep the tax ra c¢own then., how can be promise a cut now wher the city has doubled its size and has to meet the sewer disposal and water problems withia & fow years?” After he had reviewed the neod for new parks Bartlett informed the audience ' that there were two items which could be eliminated from the city budget for next year and thesc are the two parks for the east and and the fifth ward. “I'm in favor of reduction in taxes but I will do nothing to affect ! the increase of public parks,” he said. “'More places of recreation for the children will mean more health for them and I'm proud to say that there is not one sign in the parks of New Britain as grass.’ To Study City's Needs “The financial committee which 1 promise to introduce in this city when I'm elected, will work in con- dunction with the board of finance and taxation and give estimates of 's needs and expenditures 10 years in advance. In this way will be prepared to meet the future and 1 believe that the city will ben- efit more by this system than by the former committees which made the city budget within % month’s time,” he said. Charging managers, that ope of Park Commissioner Ar- thur I. Berg, opposed the wading pool in the fifth ward, Attorney David L. N said that it was through the work of the republican representatives in the common council that the dekision to build the pool was made. “Quigley's manager insisted that the pool be construct- ed in the sixth ward and have your children from the fifth ward walk three or four miles to take a dip,” he cried. Attorney Nair spoke of the neces- #ity of having an experienced ex- ecutive in office. “Mr. Bartlett does not promise much, he does not s that he will cut the tax rate but he will try all in his power to bout a reduction and a reas- sessment 1in property value,” he #aid. Attorney M. F. Stempicn, whd act- ed as chairman, explained the Aus- tralian ballot to the audience. He stated that “Bartlett was the right man for mayor. Mr. Berg today denied that he was I'm (‘!(‘c(z'li ; such state- | ‘Keep oft the| we | Quigley's | {out the Quigley Ushers Communist Off Platform—Declares (Bartlett Does Well to Stand on His Record in Common Council and Hide It. hundreds of men and women stood for more than an hour in Rialto hall last night and listen- ed attentively while George A. Quigley recited the achievements of his three terms as mayor ani asked their support in today’s primary. There was but one interruption, a brief one, coming near the end cf the meeting when John Vincent, 21, a communist agitator, gained th2 speaker's attention and indicated that he desired to ask a question. “All right,” Quigley announced, “come right up here and we'll thresh it out.” The invitation was accepted ani cent mounted tpe platform. Fac- ing the audience with a sheat of papers in his hand he began a har- angue, which was interrupted when Quigley reached over, took one of the papers and read it- It was ccmmunist literature. Laying down his own notes, Quigley took Vincent by the arm, led him to the stairs leading from the platform, and pointed the direc- tion to the door. “Right at this point I want to say somethipg and say it straight! 1 have not a bit of use for anyone who is a Red. You., young man, and your gang had better get out of here!” A policeman furnised escort for Vincent and his companions while the assemblage applauded Quigley. Bartlett and His Record Candidate Quigley was critical of the campaign siogan of his oppo- nent, Donald L. Bartlett, claiming that his six and one-halif years of service in the common council do not show one resolution to promote general good. “He says he stands on his record. A good idea, he should stand on it and keep it out of sight,” the speaker suggested. Recalling the fire department as it was when he took office, Quigley said the horse-drawn trucks fre- quently left the stations 10 minutes after the alarm was sounded, the Celay being caused by the necessit: of running to livery stables for “bow-legged and spavined horses.” He spoke of motorization of the department, accomplished under his administration, and of its benefits. Regarding the plumbing code, adopted while he was in the com- mon council, to be rejected a few vears ago by a committee of which Bartlett was a member, Quigley ad- mitted the change has been made, but said that it was a start, furnish- ing the foundation for the present code. Discussing water rates, he told of his successful fight to cut costs by equalizing and making those using water for profit pay their proper proportion of the expense. “And we can do the same thing with tax. ation—equalize it,” he promised. ‘Work During War Prefacing his statements with a remark that it may seem boastful or egotistical to tell of what he has done in coping with emergencies, but justifyving this by declaring that is opponents are not likely to bring facts. Quigley told of his Several was opposed to the fifth ward wad- ipg pool. His statement said: At no time did I oppose a wading pool in the fifth ward. The truth is that just today I spent much of my time working on preparations for the pool. Mr. Nair is guilty of ‘playing politics’.” More Beautiful —More Fash- ionable than ever before ly spring comfort makes them blessin weary STYLES- radiantasa love- ing day— that a i to"“shoe- Ifyou lcvebauuful shoes—see ease—Treadeasys will give it to you.

But I'm a little old-fashioned. I recognized that you had elected me to office to fight your battles and protect interests. 1 made the fight for you.

Independents Rally The Independent party. nominee for mayor is Kelly, whose Martin J. found the customary meet- ing quarters too small for last night’s rally and adjourned to a larger meeting hall in the Hanna block.
