The white-haired, 68-year-old college professor, whose first quest for public office resulted in his nom- ination by the democratic state con- vention yesterday for governor, al- ready has shown himself to be a leader of exceptional power and acumen. Few persons anticipated that the candidate would attempt on the very verge of nomination to drive the powerful “old guard" fac- tion of the state party from its citadel.

Those seasoned political leaders who had sought in vain to dictate to the candidate, left his room with an impression that here was & man who "knew what he wanted, and, by the jut of his chin, intended to get it.” A study of the gubernatorial can- didate’s struggle from the “little red schoolhouse” of Tolland county to achievement of an outstanding posi- tion in American letters reveals forewarning of this dormant power of political leadership.
