Abstract

Revolt in Connecticut

Connecticut, a boss-ridden State in the U.S. is witnessing a remarkable revolt in the Republican Party. J. Henry Roraback, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, Republican national committeeman, political dictator of Connecticut and president of the Connecticut Light and Power Company, a subsidiary of the United Gas Improvement Company of Philadelphia, is the object of the revolt. It is vitally important for the Republican leader in Connecticut to be a man independent of favor-seeking corporations. As has been said, the Republican Party is the only party that can win in Connecticut under normal circumstances. Whatever reform comes to Connecticut in the next few years, probably the next decade, at least-must come through the Republican Party.
