HOW CROSS UPSET THE APPLE, CART

What an astounding victory Dean Cross won can be best determined by comparisons with the usual run Of gubernatomal election in Nut mogia.
 In 1928. when the race was be tween Messrs. TrumbuI and Nor ris, Mir. Trumbull attained q rlur- allty Of 44.o07. That was the year when Al Smith was running for the presidency and Mr Morris was fly ing on the tail Of pretty lively kite. Indeed, Mr. Morris received 1G2 more votes than Mr, Smith him. self.
 Two years previously. or in 1926, Mr, Trumbun defeated Mr. Morris by plurality Of S5.2oo. Until re- cent years Republican organization mathomaticians regarded this plurality as approximately normal for Nutmegia. But His Highest. Mir. Eoraback, made no such claim for this year. His claim was a split te- tween the 1996 and the l2gS vote. resulting in a forecast of "at least 65.o0o." Mr. Rorabach evidently figured that the absence or an Al Smith on the Democratic ticket would leave the Democrats some where in hole. but the presence of Hoover prosperity and the prohibi- ton issue would pull them part way out of if, So he put the digi,s al i 65,ooo The unofficial returns today give bean Cross s plurality Of more than 1000. 50 much for the Eora- ! backian algebraic formula and is failure 10 check and double check on election day

NEW LONDON'S SURPRISE

Mr. Rogers did not do very well in his home town Of New London. lf candidate of prominence fails 10 ring the wclkin in his home town something naturally IS wrong, and it may not be with the townspeople. His plurality of only 500 in that bailiwick was not even as good IS MT Trumbul obtained in 1928, when it vas 629, or the normal Re publican plurality which cropped up there in 1926, which was 1927. Pre- election dispatches from New Lon don led 10 the impression that the city would vote for him nearly unanimously, but evidently the city took vengeance. among other things, against the Hoover administration for decimating the naval base and running plenty of good business for it's citizens.

l NOTABLE VICTORY BY DEAN CROSS

A political hurricane which pass ed over most parts Of the United States has inundated Connecticut and today Wilbur L. Cross. Demo- crat, dean emeritus Of the Yale Graduate School, stands elected gov ernor of the state.
 The dear old professor as Chairman J. Henry Roraback con- temptuously called him in favor of old age pensions because h. might need one pretty soon,' has, with the aid Of indignant citizens who resented these sighting person. alities flung at one of the states most distinguished citizens, forced Mr. Roraback and his big business candidates 10 groveI in the mud.
 The state has shown Mir. Rora- back that success" as director and official of numerous go-gettins corporations and 'experience' as a Rorabackian politician does not really compare with the quiet ideal- ism and intellectual leadership of such a man as Dean Cross.
 The state is destined to enjoy a new birth Of democratic legislation, it will look further forward, it will at least tender as much supervision over the welfare of the man who works as is commonly accorded to proprietary rights so far as these ideals are within the power of the governor for accomplishment.
 Outstanding among he reasons for this shift in allegiance was the fact of ploymeut q species of Hoover prosperity which has been 50 tragically contrary to that
