 Walter By 4,2s7.

wave of, ballots cast by the republi- cans that swamped the democratic
 party in Connecticut yesterday in
 spite of the vigorous campaign waged
 by the latter on state issues. For an
 "on year" the vote was as phenome- nally large as that boiled in the presi- dential election two years ago, the aggregate vote and the pluralities both being worthy of comparison. The republicans elected their gover- nor lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, controller and attorney general, reelected five mem bers of congress and once more Il sen ate and house of representatives that is overwhelming of their own kind. The democrats were taken by sur prise as they had expected to make splendid showing at the expense of the republicans which seemed too apathetic in some parts of the state to awaken feeling that political campaign was in progress. The re- suits of few local issues are the on ly crumbs of comfort of the demo- crats, and these can be briefly men, tioned. A democratic sheriff was chosen in New Haven, something the republican leaders looked upon as al- most impossible under existing con tnv Dat the republican state leader was beat en in his senatorial fight in Bridge port, happening feared by his party and expected by his opponent. The famous probate jIdgeship contest which was linked with the struggle between United States Senator Mor- gan q. Bulkeley and State Senator Everett j. Lake, when the latter was making his first fight for the lieuten- ant goyernorship nomination in Hart ford nad an echo In the defeat of W. J. McConyille, by l.. r. Waldo. Mar win, the democratic candidate, by al- most a two to one vote. This result Is expected to compllcate political conditions in Hartford not q little in the future. Another close probate contest was that which Mayor John r. Studley won against Edwin $. Thomas of Orange in the New Haven district. The latter made splendid run against a republican who has never had difficulty in getting big plurality in his recurrent elections as mayor.
 The official returns of the election will not be known until canyassed at the opening of the general assembly, but unofficial revised figures show for the most part the strength of the re- publican vote cast yesterday.
 For governor. Colonel Rollis s. Woodruff received SS.i1G. while May or Thayer receiver e. .7522, the formers plurality being 20.66i. Compared with two years ago, the plurality Is 4.90S less than Governor Roberts re- ceiycd over Judge Robertson of New Haven. Nil Woodruff received 4.GS6 more than Governor Chamberlain's plurality over Cary four years ago.
 The socialist and prohibition vote cast for governor was Insignificant. its total being about so. or a afth or what 1t was two years ago. In many towns the socialist vote disappeared. Almost as meagre was the prohibition vote in spite of the automobile can yass and ont t-door meetings of ex- Shsrin O'Brien. of Bridgeport, fbe head of the ticket The total vote Is less than one thousand.
 of the balance of the state ticket inc republlcan nominees run close race with Colonel Woodruff and MT LilIey. and partial returns made it nppear that the men In both parties cast almost straight tickets for state officers and did their ''pasting' on To- cal candidates.
