Outfoxed

Ex-Price Boss Chester Bowles, who has little political experience but great ambition, seemed a cinch to be the Democratic nominee for governor of Connecticut. But last week he was outfoxed by the pros. In a wide-open state convention, after the pros had maneuvered a first-ballot deadlock, they threw all their strength to Lieut. Governor Wilbert Snow, 62-year-old poet and former Wesleyan University professor of English. Rushing to make the nomination unanimous, Chester said: "I've always said I'd never sulk in my tent."

The surprise result matched Snow against his old friend and onetime Wesleyan President, G.O.P. nominee James L. McConaughy (rhymes with Donahay). At Wesleyan, President McConaughy used to defend the radical lectures of popular Professor Snow against indignant New England trustees.
