 The election was marked by the greatest display sof ticket splitting that has been seen> in recent years. The disparity of about 1S,00O votes between President Hoover and the republican candidate for governor, Trumbull, and the great margins of Conover, independent senatorial candidate, and Thomas, socialist nominee for president, over the other members of their tickets bore witness to the selectivity exercised by the voters of this staet. Binghatfss startling defeat, which will rob congress of one of it's most dramatic figures, may be attributed fairly to the independent republicans, who were organized for the chief purpose of causing Bingham's defeat. Conover, the dry senatorial entry, boiled more than 7,80O votes and Lonergan's margin over Bingham was only about 3,200. Conover's vote was practically 100 per cent republican though dry. Of course the in- dependents were believed to have gathered large proportoin of the new voters made this year.
 United Press reports showed more than 586,891 persons voted this year, an increase over 1928 of about 36,000 persons.
