The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-10

Don't blame it all on Jasper McLevy.
That is, the Democratic leaders Of Con-
necticut should not entirely blame the
staggering vote McLevy received Tuesday
for all their woes and the loss it inflicted
in their ranks. In many respects they
have themselves to blame.
In the first place, whoever conceived
the brilliant idea of ditching Labor Com
missioner "Joe" Tone for Tom HeweS, a
previously beaten candidate for lieuten-
ant governor, either was entirely ignorant
of the psychology of this year and days
symptoms, or had personal axes to grind.
1t recalls the Tone slogan prominently
displayed at the Democratic convention
at Eastern Point in September, Twin with
Tone, Lose with Hewes" - they did.
If ever palmer handwriting appeared
upon the wall since that of Scriptural
fame, that was it. Yet the so-called state
Democratic little ring could not see it as
such. In fact, one member of the inner
circle, when warned that the sacrificing
of Tone for Hewes would mean big loss
in labor votes went as far as to say when
he had to cowtow to labor for a Demo-
cratic victory at the polls he would quit
politics. Maybe he will, his party lost.
PoSt-mortems like I-told-you-so'S are
superfluous, yet in the case of Tuesdays
election in Connecticut we feel confident
that if Joseph M. Tone had been allowed
to run on the Democratic state ticket for
lieutenant governor, both Governor Cross
and Senator Lonergan and the entire
ticket would have been reelected by a
comfortable majority. Jasper McLevy all
but admitted as much himself, when he
intimated that, if he were elected, he
would retain Joe Tone as Labor Commits
necticut's popular Labor Commissioner
on the ticket might not have kept Mr..
McLevy from getting substantial vote,
it would have at least kept enough of the
labor vote in line to ensure moderate
Democratic victory. Someone pulled the
years prize political boner. Who?
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-10
Party Lever Doomed

The result of Tuesdays election in Con-
necticut, especially in those towns where
voting machines are used, clearly and
definitely has shown that the day of the
party lever in this state is not only
thing of the past, but also an imposition
on the voters who would register their
political preference without all the red
tape and in many cases embarrassment
accompanying split vote.
To begin with, the idea of the party
lever is primarily wrong, neceSSitating
in the first place that the voter, if he
wishes to cut candidate, must first
vote for him by pulling over the party
lever, then nullify that vote by the manip-
ulation of the individual buttons. This
is not only too complicated an operation,
but also a duplication of efforts on the
part of the voter, who in the first place
had no desire to vote for the candidate
he intended cutting. The voter is placed
at disadvantage in the very beginning
and very often votes otherwise than he
really intends.
Perhaps ten, twenty, or twenty-five,
years ago, when the straight ticket" was
more or less religion with the voters,
the party lever was matter of little or
no consequence. But today with the
voters more and more showing leaning
70 lndlvldual1Sm and perhaps for the first
time beginning to think for themselves
the party lever is hindrance as well as
an insult to their intelligence: The day
OF when good machine tender could by
look or word compel the voter to pull
over the old party lever is gone forever.
The voter OF today, if he or she can't do
the job they intend, nonchalantly asks
the machine tender to help him or her
to do 1t. Such requests were numerous
here on Tuesday.
Connecticut, we think, is far behind
other nearby states in respect the party
lever. If we mistake not, we think the
system was long since abandoned in New
York State and Others The day of the
split-vote is here to stay. Party lines of
the future will only be as strong as the
candidates they are made up of. Voters
viii cut. So we think Connecticut
should get in line with the up-and-doing
states. Chairman Smith and Harwood
Of both major political parties should
look into this before another state or
national election rolls round. It not only
would be a convenience to the voters, but
to the well being of the candidates in the
kind of elections we are going to have in
the future. The day ofsthe straight party
vote Is gone 1cfeFers

He DroUe Them
Cattle Driver Brought 1000 Head of Cattle From
Fort Worth, Texas, to Livingstone,
Montana, Back in 1866.
NEW YORK SUN

Trail, crossed at Clark's Fork of the
Yellowstone at the old Bozeman
crossing and struck the Yellowstone
proper at a point near the mouth
of Saltwater Creek. Thence they
trailed up to the present site of
Livingston, where Nelson Story
established permanent cattle
camp.
This account is as interesting for
its hints as for its details. Indeed,
details are regrettably Scant. 1t
would be interesting, for example
to know the mileage of this mean
dering journey, and what Nelson
really thought about guarantees.
The narrator throws only a little
light on the nature of the Indian
trouble" his father encountered, but
that little is Illuminating. His father,
says Byron, told him that he had
never killed an Indian; but that
night presumably the night after
the stop at the Big Horn under
cover of darkness he and his men
trailed thirty Indians to camp and
had TO wipe out the entire group
to recover their missing longhorns.
A sturdy and salty parsonage, this
Nelson Story. His portraits, show
ing him with long gray beard and
neat frock coat, would pass well for
that of an Elder about to take his
place at the communion table. He
was Is years old, had $36 and a
years schooling at college when he
left Ohio for the West. On one oc-
casion in his younger days he came
upon crowd at Nevada City gath
cred there to see the hanging of a
road agent" This outlaw had
friends in the crowd. A deputy
sheriff had tied rope about the
mans neck and placed him on a
soap box when these friends OBJ
jected. The deputy asked the crowd
what he should do. Take hold here
Ben," said Nelson to a companion.
Ben took hold and the two of them
pulled the box from under the feet
of the condemned man. 1t is heresy
to doubt that such man could
have driven those longhorns to any
section Of Montana!
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-10
Without McLevy

It's interesting to note the enthusiasm
with which the Socialist Party of Water
bury is planning for the municipal cleo
ton of 1889. It promises to put full
ticket in the field to contest, presumably,
the major political parties. That's within
the rights of the party, provided 1t con-
forms with the election laws, which 1t I'M
doubtedly will. But supposing the Social
list Party does put ticket in the field
next fall, what proof have we that 1t can
ever hope to come close to winning? None,
so far as we can see.
There will be no Jasper McLevy on the
citv ticket and it was, without any ques-
ton whatsoever, Jasper McLevys name
that enabled the Socialists to poll 165, 900
votes which was his total and which was
nat spproximated by any OF the other
Socialist candidates who sought state or
national office Most of those votes went
for McLevy, the Socialist candidate,
although we do admit that many who
voted the Socialist ticket wouldn't have
cared what the gubernatorial candidates
name was so long as they could protest
against both Democratic and Republican
control of the state government.
It remains a question whether such
protests will carry over to 1889 here in
Waterbury, Maybe they will. Maybe by
October of next year the feeling against
both major political parties will be so
intensified that any third party can win
here. But in that event it wouldn't need
to be the Socialists. That's why we are
not excited over the thought of the Social
iSt Party girding itself now for the 1899
combat. It's eleven months away and too
many important events are scheduled to
occur in Waterbury before then.
One point might be stressed, though.
Tuesdays balloting shows how third
party can WELD the balance of power.
We had it exemplified during the 1885
legislative session when three Socialist
Senators forced Republicans to work with
them. That might well happen again
next January. And here's the funny
thing. Campaigning this fall against
double-machine politics Socialists may
take up for protection the very tactics
they condemn in others. They did it once
before, you know.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-10

LOCALIZED betting on horse racing re-
ceived setback in Massachusetts at the
polls Tuesday when voters in Hamden
County defeated proposal that it be
continued for four more years. Passed
in 1884 the betting law provided for a
referendum every four years. It was de-
feated by narrow margin Tuesday, so
there won't be pari-mutuel track at
Agawam Park next summer. Dog racing
in Hamden County also received body
blow, the betting referendum being badly
defeated. Not until 1912 can voters bring
up the subject of legalized betting again.
This action decreases the number of
pari-mutuel tracks in New England and
gives Suffolk Downs over near Boston
control of the racing season in the Bay
State. 1t may have been fortunate that
other places, like Rhode Island did not
vote on the same question as the trend
there, too, probably would have been
against operation of the Narragansett
Park as pari-mutuel track.
