governor to the discontent of the people cnsendered by the business depression. With this naive expla- nation. editors throughout the state are inclined to disagree. They see Tn the uphcaval symptoms of discon- tent with MT. Roraback and his methods of dictating policies of the state. If the public had beein arous- cd by the depression, all candidates on the republican ticket would have shared the fate of MT. Rogers, writers on the subject point out.
 The defeat of the head of the re- publican ticket can be laid at the door of Eorabackism. which was the very negation of popular gov crnmont. the tradition had been created that the Grand Old Party in Connecticut could not be over thrown. As result office holders treated with certain amount. Of subsconscious contempt demands for legislation meeting with the appro- val of the people as whole rather
 
 sight of the fact that they were elected to serve, not to domineer. The word of the boss was law enough for them and to certain extent their lack of backbone is un- derstandable because they realized that once they failed to fall in line when the boss thundered, their po- litical existence was at an end.
 Politics has infiltrated into the ad- nnnistration of public affairs 10 a greater depth than the public real izcs. From high to low, the qualifl' cation for appointment to politi. cal berth has been party regularity. The state i. honeyconbed with this sort of thing. There are exceptions to the rule in several important jn- stances where ability and sincerity in discharging the duties of office well may be found. But before these exceptional office holder. could rise to positions of authority, 1t was nc es.ary for them to pass the exami- nation on their political qualfca- tions.
 Disgust with absolutism was the chief reason for the election day re- volt. not discontent with the de- pression. That disgust was not con- fined to habitual democrats. Thou sands of republicans were stirred into expressing their resentment of a system which had fastened its tentacles onto the ship of state and which guided that ship regardless Of the direction the passengers wish ed to take.

Collections Impro, ing, Credit Expert Says

Collections of wholesale and manufacturing firms throughout the country arc at least six per cent better than they were a month ago. according 10 the National As sociation Of Credit Men.
 From the credit point ol view, the outstanding feature of the present business situation is this country wide improvement in col lections," said Dr. stephen I. Mill CT. executive manager of the asso- ciation we can scc in 1t de- pendable sign Of better things just around the corner
 pr. Miller takes the view that more careful analysis Of credit risks and vigorous collection meth ods are m large measure respon- siblc for the gain in collections.
 We arc learning 10 apply the principles on which sound credit appraisal is based. and 10 make a more discriminating selection Of credit risks" he said. We have dis covered that credit abuses, such as discount piracy and terms grab bing. give way before concerted and vigorous attack"
 The bulletin includes results of a special credit survey covering wholesale and manufacturing busi- ness in California, Washington, Orc son, Idaho, Utah and Arizona.
 Slxty-four per cent Of the firms reported larger sale. in September than in the previous month, and 66 per cent reported larger collections.
 For the next six months. A per cent anticipated improved sales and collections, 4l per cent no change and Is per cent less favorable con- ditions.
 Inactivity in numbering and the depressed copper and silver market were the chief unfaborahle factors reported. A good fruit crop, with favorable prices, was mentioned as an important aid to business, par ticulsrly in Idaho.

Judgesjp Material Readily Available

Readily Available
 Although the legislature will not con"enc for several weeks. the possi- bilty of the proposal of bill to f6 the New Britain police and city courts is being discussed freely about the city. Democrats are scarce in the local legal fraternity principally because young lawyers arc generally advised 10 register with the majority party if they would progress politically, but strong party men claim that there is ample material and one or both of the judgeships need not go begging.
 Had Judge Mangan stayed out Of the probate race or failed Of cloc- ton. he would probably be the unanimous choice of his party for one of the places on the bench, but the names most frequently mcn- tionCd in connection with the pos .,:blc change arc Scn&tor-clect Ha- ocarty. Attorneys David l.. Dunn and IslidS l. ikIltS O'a'' 2N LtDL ilN l'N'''' IS a former chairman Of the town committee. former member O. the school board and former chairman Of the board Of police commissioners, while Attorney Ringrosc has for years been an active worker for the party. Since entering the practice Of law. Senator-clcct Ha gearty has been high in the party councils and his surprising victory over the veteran Ernest W. Christ, who sought to succeed himself as senator, gave his stock great boost.
 The last time the democrats had a judge Of the local court vas in 1912, when Judge Mangan served for year after fight which went to the supreme court. The state senate was democratic at that time ard Judge Mangan's appointment was ratified but the house, being republican. tried to namc Judge John II kirkham. Governor Bald win would not approve the naming Of republican and appointed Judge Mangan. his action being upheld by tho court.
 Slowly the New Britain republican organization is recovering from the severe shock sustained on Tuesday end in the lcrnacular of the street it won't be long now before the bruises are healed, albeit the scars Will stay on for some time to come. Looking about for explanations Of the democratic party sweep which gave the city q senator from the minority group for the first time in 1S years and representatives for the first time in 30 years, many interest ing theories arc advanced. not the least accurate Of which is that the voters wanted q change and they got it.
 Looking behind that. however, it strikes the fair-mnded dopesters that the democrats had tho better ticket, and while it is possible that Dean Cross might have carried even r mediocre ticket into office with him, so far as New Britain is con- cerned, the overwhelming plurality which was given would not have been possible had not the nominees for judge Of probate and the places
