Win Small Towns
In Municipal Elections
NEW HAVEN, Conn., (P)—Connecticut Democrats made further inroads into small towns, once considered almost unassailable Republican territory, in Monday's municipal elections and held on to two cities they already controlled.
Torrington and Bristol, medium sized, heavily industrial communities, remained Democratic, altho by smaller margins than in 1955.
Those two cities and 126 towns elected municipal officials. Six other city elections will be held Nov. 5.
On the basis of unofficial returns, 10 towns switched from Republican to Democratic control, 5 switched the other way, one by only one vote, 75 towns remained in the Republican ranks and 34 remained Democratic. Two elections were held on a non-partisan basis.
