The New Deal Triumphs

It is apparent that the New Deal has found nationwide support. Reports from the forty-seven states where the voters went to the polls Tuesday indicate this. Republican candidates were practically engulfed by rising tide of sentiment that exceeded even the hopes of the most ardent supporters of the President and his policies. It was not unprecedented, but it was startling, for in the melee of Tuesday veteran stalwarts of the gop. were busted from their places in Congress,
 Control of the U. s. Senate is now vested in the hands of the democrats by the almost unbelievable figure of three to one. The House will show more than two- ..hirds democratic majority. All of which should be very encouraging to President Roosevelt, who has seen his theories of government severely criticized in the last few months. That they have been upheld is the only conclusion that can logically be drawn from the results of Tuesday.
 There was hope expressed in some quarters that the 1884 election might not show too decided a New Deal aspect for fear that it would encourage our officials to lean too far from the course that for so long has been regarded the safe and sane one. Perhaps we haven't looked far enough ahead. We can never return to the old system that was in vogue in the long years of republican control. We are con- ing to new day when the relative po- sitions of capital and labor are going to be more sharply defined. We can't turn our backs on the obvious. The people are demanding the change. Tuesday certainly showed it.

A Days Work Well Done

Democrats of Connecticut today may feel proud of the efforts that were cul- minated Tuesday with the complete suc- cess of the ticket, state and national. It was glorious finish to a hard fight. Although the margin of victory may be slight, it was, nevertheless, one from which considerable satisfaction can be derived. For the first time since he be- came chief executive of this state Cover nor Wilbur l.. Cross can look to his aides for the necessary support and advice lack ing in previous administrations.
 Endorsement of the New Deal and the Cross regime imposes a heavy responsl- bility upon the democratic party. One plea heard frequently during the campaign just finished was for election of straight ticket. It seems to have occurred, although the democrats will not control the House and may be forced to depend upon the three Socialist members from Bridgeport to control the Senate. But we anticipate great things during the third administration of Governor Cross. |
 Last Saturday we commented upon the possibility of Waterbury being the home of future governor in the person of His Honor Mayor Frank Hayes His splendid victory of yesterday, plus the additional fact that Waterbury has again turned in convincing democratic majority, is con- vincing proof of his eligibility for the top of the ticket in 1886. There was no doubt ill the figures available to day that Mayor Hayes had worked whole-heartedly for the support of the ticket and not for his own personal candidacy. He did not utter one public statement in the campaign to our knowledge that was not in behalf of his fellow candidates as we'll as himseh.
 The success of all the local candidates was really to be expected. Outstanding naturally was that of Attorney Joseph Smith, who in his introduction of politics, scored a victory over the veteran legisla- tor, Representative "Ned" Goss. Our democratic state senators, representatives, and our perennial Judge of Probate, the eminent Dennis J. Slavin, all received the hearty support which we had previously predicted for them It is not too much l. to claim that Waterbury comprises one of the chief bulwarks in the democratic armor in Connecticut.
 Hartford deserves more than it's fair !. share of praise for the splendid work it did Tuesday. It gave the democrats record vote, we think. It elected dem socratic sheriff, as we did in New Haven county; it also returned to office demo- cratic senators and representatives. The same was true in New Haven, where the unusual was achieved in the election of . democratic senator from a district that :. has not seen such as this in decades. Pres !. ident Roosevelt has been fittingly endorsed by Connecticut More so than in 1882, when he himself headed the ticket. We /. do not predict the demise of the republi- . can party in this state, but we do believe . that Rorabackism may have been crushed for all time. The truth of that will be . borne out by events of the legislative sea- son of 1885.

Hats Of to Frank Maloney

Although one cross section of the press of the state, notably the Hartford Courant and the Waterbury Republican, has found it necessary to vail loudly at the bier of Senator Frederic c. Walcott of Norfolk, the majority of Connecticut editors will derive some satisfaction in the election to the United States Senate of the Honorable Francis T. Maloney of Meriden, the pres. ent congressman from the third district.
 He made wh..t has been regarded as the hardest fought (from his side) and most
 spectacular campaign this little old state has witnessed in many year.
 There is no doubt but what republicans
 were centering their efforts upon the re- election of Senator Walcott. It was
 desired above all things, even that of the republican candidate for governor, Hugh M. Alcorn. And the battle ended with
 Congressman Maloney defeating, not only his distinguished opponent, but running far ahead of the ticket throughout the entire state. If that is not proof of the necessity of presenting the issues of the campaign to the voters, we're sadly mis- taken. The new senator worked hard for his victory and deserves every bit ot praise accorded him.
 But we don't suppose that will be forth coming on all sides when the editor of the Waterbury Republican, for example, can say today, Senator Walcott also fell to defeat to the disappointment of nation fhat expected that Connecticut at least could be depended upon to return this re- nablican senator" Disappointment of q i3ationn seems like strong language to this writer. Even disappointment of state mirh be silently exaggerated. It would

Washington, Nov. Probably even today, ganSling fford Pinchot, governor Of nsyl- vania, does not know Meet was in store for him at the hands of the Roosevelt administration had he not bclted the New Deal.
 A lifelong friend of the Roose- velts, Pipchot was considered more democrat than repub- lican. His work for Roosevelt during the 1882 campaign was sincerely appreciated. And know ing that Pinchot's term as gov ernor expired in January, the president was planning reward.
 And then Clifford spoiled it.
 In the middle of the hottest senatorial fight in years between David Reed, arch republican senator, and Joe Guffey, demo- cratic boss of Pennsylvania, Pinchot threw his weight against the democratic candidate.
 So the vast forest shelter belt to be built the width of the United States as drought rem edy for the midwest probably will not be directed by Clifford Pinchot.
 That was to have been his re- ward. ..s
 As a tribute to a man who is probably the most outstanding forester in the country, and in recognition of his support for the New Deal, R sevelt had planned to give Pinchot direction of this highly important pro- gram.

D. NJ. Nelson, Special adviser to the board, is vice-president' of Sears, Roebuck & Go. Nelson has no previous MIRA service, but he was a member of Secre- tary Roper's business advisory and planning council, which has an unofficial advisory rela- tionship to the MIRA.
 A. R. Clancy, special adviser to the board, is a former Gen. eral Motors official. Clancy was compliance officer under John son, and as such was bitterly assailed by labor for putting through what they charged were discriminatory work agreements. His decision in the famous Hartman Hosiery Mills case aroused such vehement labor protests that Johnson had to modify'it.
 William L. Allen, special ad- wiser to the board, is former steel company executive. Allen was one of Johnson's original divisional administrators, put through the cotton textile code, the first to be promulgated, and which year later led to a fierce general textile strike.
 These men-~are not to be the only big business figures on the MIRA rolls. If the boards plans go through, they will be joined in the coming weeks by others of potent industrial standing.

seem as if the Walcott myth had been exploded.
 And the erudite MT Sherman of the Hartford Courant leads off his editorial page today with this, Senator Walcott deserved better fate than befell his can didacy at the polls yesterday. On the strength of his record he should have been returned. ." It probably was the strength of his record that defeated him. As we recall it, Congressman Maloney re- vealed it as antedating his service in the Congress and consisting of business sue cess and relief work in Europe, for which he was properly decorated. We're afraid that it was simply question ot MT Maloney showing to the voters a few ot those traits which have made him so we'll liked and respected. We expect much from him during his senatorial years. We doubt if he will disappoint the state. He'll be active in our interests.

London Letter
By LEE WILSON
United Press Stan Correspondent


 London (UP)-while a strong move is on foot in the United States to permit legalized lotteries, Great Britain is preparing more stringest laws against this form of gambling.
 Tn face of bitter, opposition from various sourcs, lhe government has presented a betting and lot teries bill, which is intended to limit strictly the amount of gray hound racing in this country. as we'll as prohibiting indulgence in any such speculation as the Irish sweepstake.
 Six Months Investigation.
 Following a six-month investi- gation by cabinet committee, the government announced last sum- mer that under the proposed bill a ban of silence would be placed on the Irish sweepstake, making 1t illegal to publish information of the draw, or lists of prize winners.
 The bill would make it an off, fense also to bring foreign lottery tickets into Great Britain and prohibit agents in this country from sending counterfoils, or money from the sale of tickets, to foreign points.
 All Illegal Now.
 Under existing law all lotteries are illegal, and this general pro- hibition was maintained in the bill with new provisions added to make enforcement more efficient. TotaliZation clubs come under the bills ban, which also deals death blow to all competitions in which exercise of a certain a. mount of skill is not required.
 Directed primarily at the big lotteries and competitions which mulct the public of millions each year. the bill regularizes the po- sition of private lotteries and small public lotteries such as raf- fies and bazaars.
 Bazaar lotteries are to be legal ized subject to safeguards which will prevent large schemes being promoted under cover of the ex- emptions. The same will apply to small private lotteries promoted by clubs or societies, or among persons working of residing on the same premises.
