ated Democrats were not going down without a struggle and would probably have to be reckoned with

strong, well-organized cam- Mr. Diamond pointed out

yesterday that the years Mr. Qjl- martin has been out of politi counted against him; but wh<

— everyone was for him. Mr. Ecker who is, like the newly elected Supervisor, a Fordham Uni­versity graduate, commented on the Supervisor's race: “When the public

fine job Dick can do, there will be talk of physical handicaps will win nerft time by a

tremendous majority." No one his

capacity to handle the job, or his valuable experience, but his physi-

il strength, due to his almost fatal automobile accident some years ago.

:arry on what is now a gruelling program has been questioned.

Mr. Bain, a novice in politics, did •ery well in his race for the Supcr- •isorship. On the Republican side.

Eugene Lester. Charles Rush. Royal Luther, and Alfred Conklin are also

.’comers to the political field, as -e many of the Democratic can-

lemocratic candidates included, ides Mr. Bain, David W. Gilmar­

tin for Town Clerk, James N. Reilly for Justice of the Peace, John Bis-

for Superintendent of High­ways, Cecilia Krupinski for Coun­cilman, and for Assessors, George

’, G. Berkley Bennett and John De Falco Jr. Democrats for Bay Constable were Jesse Scott and Russell C. Lester.

The Republicans did not win out /erywhere, of course. Robert Wag­

ner, Democrat incumbent who has lade a fine record as Mayor of New

York City, was rc-elcctcd by a tre- vote, defeating Robert

Christenberry, Republican. Mario Pittoni, Democrat-Liberal, defeated Henry J. Latham. Republican, for Supreme Court Justice. Lloyd P. Dodge. Republican, however was tlected Special County Judge.

Suffolk County probably has two Democratic Supervisors coming up —surely in Riverhcad, and prob- ibly in Huntington, where the can- lidate was an Independent, endorsed by Democrats, and the vote was so •lose, under 100, that a recount is icing taken. But there are eight Re­publican Supervisors.

As for the Amendments, the pro- >osal to hold a Constitutional con­vention in 1959 for a revision of the itate Constitution was decisively jeaten; upstate and Long Island Re­publicans did not favor it. Bingo, however, was legalized for next spring.
