	Connecticut's Heritage Gateway
		Jasper McLevy was the Socialist party in Connecticut.
		From 1932 on he regularly was the Socialist candidate for governor, expanding his vote to a high of 166,253 in 1938, a decisive factor in the defeat of Wilbur Cross.
		Ironically, McLevy's ouster from office in the late 1950s was a consequence of this conservatism.
