Woodruff to Challenge Dry Bloc in Connecticut Senate Race
New Haven dec 10 The rift among Connecticut Republicans over prohibition and party control widens as J Henry Roraback backs a dry ticket and Watson L Woodruff of Orange calls senators to a Hartford luncheon. Woodruff aims to disrupt the House and Senate leadership with an early move to nominate a senate pro tempore. The dry faction seeks to oust the House leader and push their favored candidates, while Judge Martin remains aligned with House choice. The split risks reshaping the party ahead of the next legislature as various counties line up their support.
