The fight waged on Representative

of the upsets occurred in the sixth

Democrats Lose Senators.

Practically complete returns showed

four United States senator's, one each
In Maine. New York, New Jersey and
Maryland. while they gained one each
in Rhode Island, Delaware and Utah.
Indications pointed strongly to a
further democratic loss of two sena-
tors in Indiana. one in West Virginia
and Arizona and possibly one in Montana.
Late returns from Ohio indicating
the reelection of Senator AtIee Pom

rick, republican, virtually ended the
possibility Of republican ascendency in
the Senate. With democratic leaders
insisting that Hitchcock in Nebra ska
and Pittman in Nevada have been re-
elected. and With Kendrick probably
elected in Wyoming. the political sta
tus of the new Senate would thus be :
Democrats, SO; republicans, AZ; with the
result in Arizona and New Mexico still
in doubt. Should the republicans
carry both the democratic majority in
the Senate would be eight.
The democratic ma jority in the pres
ent Senate is sixteen.
