base their hopes largely on the fact
that the Republicans are completely

One conservative. but nevertheless

Gov. Smith could carry Connecticut
next year-provided the Democrats
would put up State ticket that would
be real aid instead of a ticket that
might be a hindrance. His idea ap-

have to forego themselves the hope
