Stassen, Republican,
Beats Gov. Benson
By 100000 Votes
Retiring Executive Says
He won't Stund in Way
of Successors Aims
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 9.-Gov. Elmer A.
Benson, the countrys only Farmer
Labor chief executive, today con-
ceded victory to Harold E. Stassen,
his 3l-year-old Republican opponent
in the race for Governor of Minne-
sofa as additional returns boosted
Mr.. Stassen's lead close to the lOO,-
600 mark.
In his statement extending con-
gratulations to the new Governor
Gov. Benson asserted that Farmer
Laborites will not stand in the way
of the Republican chief executive in
his efforts to put into effect the lib
eral platform on which he was
elected. He termed his defeat a
temporary setback"
With 1,l80 of the States 3,74O pre-
cincts tabulated, Gov. Benson re-
ceived 149,114. against 243, ,526 for
Stassen. Thomas Gallagher, Demo-
crat. was third with 24,099.
Mr.. Stassen also apparently was
pulling Republican State candi-
dates right along with him. as
Farmer-Labor minor party office
holders found themselves behind
large leads in nearly every contest.
There were no contests for the
United States Senate in Minnesota
in yesterdays election.
If the present trend holds up, the
Farmer-Labor party, which swept
into power in 1880 when it was led
by the late Floyd B. Olson, will be
given its most severe setback since
its rise to dominance in Minnesota.
Mr.. Stassen during the campaign
charged Gov. Benson with radical
ism and boss rule. The Governor
countered with charges that the
Republicans were backed by the
steel trusts and melted class hatred
in the campaign.
Gov. Benson claimed support from
President Roosevelt, while Mr.. Gal
lagher, the Democratic nominee,
who trailed far in the rear, also
claimed New Deal support.

Representative Martin Dies, chair
man of the House committee inves-
tigating American activities, said
yesterday that there is a minority
group of industrialists in this coun-
try who, in order to combat class
hatred, are arousing racial hatred.
There are some 300 American Or
ganizations now disseminating lit
erature promulgating racial hatred.
he declared, and some of these in
dustrialiSts are among the contrib
utors.
Speaking before the Women's Ma
tional Press Club, Representative
Dies said the beginning of the Nazi-
Fascist movement in this country
is not large but that in his opinion
1t carries q definite threat to de-
mocracy.
Fears Fascist Growth.
Americans will never accept Com

will encourage the growth of Fas-
ciSm here.
Representative Dies denied that
his committee has received support
from Vice President Garner and
further denied that the committee
has accepted outside contributions.
Many donations have been received
from persons interested in its activi-
ties, he declared, but all have been
returned
Considering some of it's views,
members of the press have on the
whole been fair to the committee, he
said. His severest critics have come
from those who have spent the least
time in covering the hearings, he
declared.
Points to Europe.
Decrying the class and racial
| hatred which he is informed is
sweeping the country, he predicted
that when this hate reaches from
coast to coast Americans will ex-
perience much that Europe is now

Lonergan Is Defeated
AsG. 0. P. Regains
Connecticut Rule
Baldwin Leeds Cross in
Governors Race by
5000 Ballots
BY the Associated Press.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 9.-Re-
publicans halted succession OF
Democratic victories with a show of
strength which restored to them to-
day control of Connecticut's major
political Offices, including the United
States Senatorship and the guberna-
torial chair they lost in 1880 to Gov.
Wilbur L. Cross.
Raymond E. Baldwin shattered the
Democratic Governors hopes of a
fifth consecutive victory in a close
three e-cornered race largely deter
mined, on the basis of unofficial re-
turns from Yesterdays election, by
unprecedented gains in normally
Democratic cities made by the So
cialist nominee, Mayor Jasper Nc
Levy of Bridgeport.
The seat in the United States Sem
ate held by Augustine Lonergan,
Democrat, went to 39-year old John
A. Danaher.
Four Seats in House.
Republicans, whose surge back to
power followed by two years a stun
ming 100,000-vote defeat in the
Roosevelt landslide, also wrested
from Democratic control four of
Connecticut's six seats in the ma
tional House of Representatives and
made heavy gains in the State Legis-
lature.
With returns virtually complete,
the unofficial tabulation gave Mr..
Baldwin, lawyer, a plurality of
fewer than 5000 votes over the TO-
year-old Governor, whose entrance
into politics in 1880 after retiring as
dean of the Yale Graduate School
set Democrats on the victory march
stopped by yesterdays election.
Of 169 towns in the State, 167 gave
Baldwin 227,572 votes and Cross
225,316.
1888 for McLevy.
Mr.. McLevy, who In six previous
bids for the governorship was unable
to top the 10000 mark, polled 163 ,953
votes, most of them in cities carried
by overwhelming majorities by the
Governor in 1896 when he piled up a
vote of 372 ,953 to win reelection by
more than 700 ballots.
With two towns missing, the un-
official returns in the senatorial race
gave Danaher 268,l23 votes. Loner-
gan 248,7l2 and Bellini Trombley,
Socialist, 85,739.
For the first time, the State elected
woman to a major political office
Mrs. Sara Crawford, 62-year-old
veteran State Representative, being
chosen as secretary of State. A Re-
publican, she defeated the Demo-
cratic incumbent, DR.. C. John Satti,
by comfortable margin.

tor who brought the children into
the world May %. 1884, issued the
following statement after the oper-
ations:
The children were given a nerve
sedative at 7:30 and carried to the
operating room where the anaes-

operating time was 40 minutes,
averaging 9 minutes per child, and
an average of 9 minutes to induce
anaesthesia.
After the operation each child

Those left in the living quarters
khile the operations were in progress
