Wax, Melvin S. | June 11, 1949 issue

For the second time in 158 years Vermont is executing a political about-face. In 1791, after fourteen years as an independent republic, the Green Mountain State deigned to join the Union. Now, after more than a century and a half of almost uninterrupted conservatism, Vermont has decided to go liberal. The decision was affirmed last November when the handsome, forty-eight-year-old Ernest W. Gibson, a Brattleboro lawyer and a protege of Senator George D. Aiken, was reelected governor. The significance of Gibson's victory was overlooked by most political observers.
