VIEWPOINTS ON
ELECTION SHOW
WIDE DIFFERENCF

WASHINGTON. Nov. s. U.P)-
The Republican view of the con-
gressional election is that they de
veloped no national issues and that
prohibition and the tariff were
negligible factors.
Democrats, however. interDreted

dissatisfaction with the admins

president in 1892.

D. Fess Of the Republican national
committee III statement last
night, there IS an apparent alb

Obvious that prohibition cut 9oth

Chairman Jouett Shouse Of the
Democratic executive committee
said the returns indicated . Demo-
cratic house and senate in the 72nd
congress.
Looking ahead to the next presi-
dental election, Shouse said:
1t has been automatic in our
records that when the administra-
ton in power loses control Of the ma
tlonal legislature in 8 byelecton it
has TO surrender the entire govern

election"
Fess described the results as a
"crazy quilt"

survey OF the situation it must be
agreed that no uniform pattern is
discernible." he said. What we
have Is simply crazy quilt

the Republicans would lose approx

this is about the average that the

Thus far there has been no post
election discussion raising doubt as

Hoover in event he desires 10 be
candidate again. A president in
office has such tight grasp on his
party'S organization that it IS al
most impossible, politicians all
agree to dislodge him. Few nation

any indication Mr.. Hoover would
voluntarily care 70 retire. Some Of
them argue he has been the victim
of adverse conditions, such as the
business depression. over which he
has little or no control and it would
be only human for Mr.. Hoover to
