dental ticket alone, but candidates. for
the Senate and House under an un-
paralleled variety of party designations

material races this year and candidates
for other State offices. It does not at
tempt any summary Of the widely varied
party aEgnments that usually occur in
municipal elections or those of other
smaller political units which happen to
coincide with the national and State
contests on November 8.

from in detail. the survey shows rs

themselves with entries in single State
