Mayor Frank Msloney of Meridsn con- tinusd to display impressive strength at the polls by winning the third congressional dis. trict for the democrats. This is the habitat of Colonel John Q. Tilson. who has retired after long years of faithful service to the republican party Mayor Maloneys elec- ton means that he will immediately take office when the 72nd Congress convenes for its lame-duck session in December. Ordinar- fly he would not be indueted into office until March and would not be seated until December. l933. when the 73rd Congress eonvenes Mayor Maloney defeated Tad" Jones, former Yale football coach for office.
 Tammany Hall displayed as much power as ever in swinging to Governor Roosevelt a tremendous plurality in New York city. perhaps the largest ever accorded any presi dential candidate. In addition it swept Surrogate John P. O'Brien into office by substantial vote. although there was evidence of the fact that New York likes the admin istration of Mayor Mckee, his name being written in by thousands of voters There can be no question but what the newly elected mayor will continue in some part the economical tactics that Mayor Mckee adopted immediately after assuming office late this summer.
 May we call attention to the surprising vote in the Corn Belt states all of which show in l932 the same liking for Governor Roosevelt that they did for President Hoover in 1928. Doubtless the vote in the middle and far West will constitute the real difference between success and failure for the republicans. Is there no hint of future action in this for the exultant demo- cratic party?

A Book a Day
Winter Muffs His Chance ~ To Do a Good Job
by BRUCE CATION

One of the most astonishing things to any revolver Is the vast number of books which start out with an excellent idea and fall to the ground because the idea never gets worked out properly.
 Fair sample of this sort of thing is "Yearly Lease" by Val Lewton.
 'Yearly Lease doesn't amount to much. It Is just another sexy thriller, and the fabric of the tale is largely cheap and shoddy.
 But it is built around a perfect ly sound idea, and 1t wouldn't have taken a great change in the way it was handled to turn it into really. worthwhile novel. e
 The story tells about a subur- ban apartment house little way up the Hudson from New York. To this house come the usual crew of yearly leasers. There are the earnest and misguided young mar ried couple, the stoiid citizen with agiddy wife and the bewildered daughter, the kindly widow who i seyerybody's friend, the gay vamp the dizzy party hounds, and so on.
 A story built on such Q setting, obviously, could be an honest and intelligent study of one of life's most interesting cross sections; and now and then, especially in his dealings with the young newly weds, MT Lewton rises to his story's possibilities But for the most part unfortunately. 1t is just another of those things.
 '.YearIy Lease Is published by Vanguard and sells for $2.

Open Season On Deer

We noticed this week in the midst of pre- election excitement that some of Connecti- cuts hunters were again seeking an open season on deer. If we recall correctly the Legislature refused to grant such permission in l93l. although we may be confused in this regard. We do know that the Legis- lature turned down a request to declare an open season on deer with bow and arrows the only weapons to be employed However. various fish and game clubs are agitating for definite period in which legal hunting of deer could be enjoyed. Just at present the number of deer killed illegally and also inhumaney is large. Anybody who engages in lacking deer with the aid of powerful lights and hgh-powered rifles, isn't sports man. He or she is merely killer.
 Perhaps the Connecticut hunters who want to engage in some big game killing were influsnced by the news from North Carolina. Or else they are farmers enraged at the depredations of rowing herds of deer. They can do lot of damage to young fruit trees and to, garden crops And if they do it certainly is the privilege of the outraged owner to use any means at his command to rid his land of the animals. However. we urge gentler means of dseouraging them be- fore actual recourse to shooting. But then we aren't farmer and probably can't get into the same frame of mind that our tillers of the soil do when they find the fruits of many days (even years) hard labor gone to waste.
 But to get back to the news from North Carolina. The Pisgah national forest game preserve is to be thrown open to hunters in December, so that the deer may be thinned out. There are too many for the natural resources of the park and officials believe that the best way to get rid of some is to let several hundred hunters loose in the region. It is believed that conservative estimate of the deer in the 3.000.acre reser- vation is 6,000. The land no longer can support so many. therefore. from December 5 to December g 400 hunters chosen by lot. can hunt to their hearts content No dogs will be allowed. Neither can the hunt CTS employ automatic rifles or shotguns. In other words, the deer will get sporting chance for their lives. But what of the hunters3 Will they!

And The World Goes On

This busy. little country of ours bustleS just as industriously as ever this morning despite the fact that Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York was yesterday elected to the highest office in this land. President of the United States. In attain ing this honor Mir Roosevelt completely eclipsed the record established by President, Hoover himself four years ago in defeating Alfred E. Smith. Never in our long history of political battles was there such an out pouring of voters as yesterday. And never was there such a decided swing from the dominant party to the minority as yester- day.
 Many factors played an important part in the election. Even if we attempted to enumerate all of them, we would doubtless be said to have skipped perhaps the most important. We think that in the final analysis it may be said that above all things Tuesdays results demonstrated that the American voters wanted change of national administration. The last twelve years of republican guidance in the United States have encompassed in that too short period events which in another nation might occupy century. Four years ago the re- publicans were riding at full tide. They recognized but one thing = national pros- perity and naturally concluded it was product of their own. On such flimsy stuff many man has broken through. So did the republican party.
 Enmeshed insthe tolls of hard times and hoarded money party leaders floundered too long. Without trying to blame any of the events of the past four years on the Hoover administration we do claim it procrastinated when action was demanded. When finally started it accomplished something but not enough to assuage public feeling There is too general feeling that republican rule or misrule may be responsible for many of our present day woes And in that surmise there is lot of truth. Even if President Elect Roosevelt does not accomplish miracles in the days to come the spirit of the nation is bound to be better. for we have what we want and what we clamored for so Justify. !, Let's put our shoulder to the wheel now with Roosevelt.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-11-09

The Hartford Courant in recent discus sion of the electoral college declared in con- elusion that The institution of the Elec- toral College has on the whole served the country we'll, and despite all the machinery attending to it. there is little likelihood of its being changed right away" That may be true. but certainly there isn't any actual need to speak of the electoral college any more. It's just figurehead. Presidential electors are committed long before the day of election to respective candidates. There can be no change in the vote once the pop ular vote has been counted. In the early days of the republic the electors actually con- vened and chose from the candidates seek ing the presidency the one they believed best fitted for office. Today the political par ties designate both presidential candidates and electors the latter pledged to the man their party nominates. The candidate secur- ing the majority of the electoral vote on the basis of his popular vote is elected, save for the formality of having the electors travel all the way down to Washington some two months later to make it legal and bind- ing. We may say that on the whole the electoral college has served the country we'll. but in the few instances where it has given us minority presidents it has been roundly condemned. Today 1t faces the criticism that it is merely an antiquated piece of election machinery without which as capable and good presidents could be elected.

"getting the farmers out of the -mud.''
 Some towns blew themselves to a comparatively few miles of sec ond-grade state highways that benefit only few favored person and that will prove expensive to keep up.
 other towns complied with the spirit of the act in putting the largest possible mileage of dirt roads into passible condition for travel throughout the year. They put the money and their effort chiefly into drainage and filling that would eliminate the mudhole. They made many fair roads in preference to a few secondary state highways.
 It must be evident that the mo- torists of the state cannot furnish sufficient money through their fees to convert thousands of miles of dirt roads and country lanes into permanently paved highways, and at the same time carry on huge in the way of trunk roads. The towns that have started out in an over-abitious way are doomed to disappointment and many of their farmers will not get out of the mud on state money. q Mir Tolles and his associates in the Rural Road.

What The Election Accomplished

Some of the startling results of yesterdays polling obtainable at this writing were the defeat of such republican stalwarts as Sena- tors Moses, Watson. and Reed Smoot. The Senate will be at loss without their pres enee. but it is doubtful if the general public will mind SO much. at least in the case of the first mentioned legislator. For Messrs Watson and Shoot it may not have general disliking, but for the gentleman from New Hampshire there has long been known antipathy. Right here in our own state a veteran legislator of by-gone years. Schuyler Merritt of Stamford accomplished some thing in defeating the democratic incumbent in the fourth congressional district.
