II told him at length about
the situation here and he
showed a remarkable knowledge
Of Rhode Island conditions.
"He said he was getting in
touch with Washington to have
all information ready and all
preparations made to respond
to any call for Federal troops
the State might formally make
In this emergency.
"He ended by saying that he
was heartily back Of me and
would support me to the
limit
Governor Green said that he

quested Federal troops as yet
However, he added that he was
considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF
doing so.

would be available at a minutes

There are approximately 900

blamed manufacturers for the
collapse of their efforts to arol-
trate the strike.

the city this morning.
Scenes of unbelievable violence
marked a night Of terror in the
Rhode Island city. One man was
shot to death, six others were
dying from injuries suffered in
the hand-to-hand fighting, and
at least five others were nursing
bullet wounds inflicted during
the miniature civil war.

DEMOCRATIC
OUTLOOK
TOO Good to Be True,' Say
Leaders As Party Wins
In LandSlideS
BY GEORGE R. HOLMES

The Democrats are rubbing
their eyes and taking another look
at this weeks election results
almost afraid that it can't be
true.
A month ago, two months ago
they were resigned to the prospect
of losing upward of 10 seats in
the Seventy-fourth Congress. Some
of the more pessimistic even
thought that figure was moderate
It was, they shrugged, the in
evitable swing-back of the political
pendulum in an off-year. Always
the party in power suffers re-
verses in these off years. Having
swept the country by such land
slide proportions in 1892, they
feared the worst in 1884.
Maine Raises Hopes?
Maine, on Monday COMPOUNDED
the pessimists. The Democrats
there reelected governor for the
first time in modern political his
tory, and by 10 times the margin
Of two years ago. They held their
own in congressional seats, win
ming two and losing one.
The primaries on Tuesday 1ur'
nished a series of revelations. In
stead of falling off, as was to be
expected, the Democratic vote IN
a dozen States ran close to the
80 figures, and in some cases ex'
ceeded it. In Washington, for
example, the Democrats polled al
most twice as many votes as the
Republicans.
Michigan proved an exception
There the political pendulum
swung back normally. and the Re
publicans polled something like
their old.time vote. Until the
Roosevelt landslide two years ago
Michigan was always happy hunt
ing ground for the Republicans
Tuesdays vote indicates that
Michigan is returning to normal
cy. It may bode i'll for Michi'
gan's 10 Democratic Congress
men.
Only Exception
But Michigan proved almost the
lone exception. In Maine, Wash.
ington, Arizona, Colorado, and
in the Southern States where
Democratic nomination is equiva'
lent to election, the size Of the
Democratic vote held up ama2.
ingly well to the 80 pattern. The
leaders are surprised and, OF
course, elated.
They are now revising their es-
Inmates on the makeup Of the
Seventy-fourth Congress. Whereas
some weeks ago they were recon-
ciled to losing upward of 10 seats,
they are now talking Of losing
only 20 or so, which would be re-
markable, indeed, in view Of the
fact they had majority Of 200
in the Seventy-third Congress.
The Democratic strategists now
figure their danger Spots, so far as
congressional seats are concerned,
are in Michigan. Indiana, Ohio.
Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Cali
fornia.
Democratic representation in
these States is all out of normal
proportion. In Indiana, for eX-
ample, the delegation is Solidly
Democratic, which has never hap
pened before and which the lead
ers themselves candidly admit Is
too good to last.
G. o. P. COMPOUNDED
The Republicans are somewhat
COMPOUNDED by it all, no less than
the Democrats. A major shift IN
Republican strategy is looked Tor
in the next few weeks.
Hitherto, the Republicans have
been hammering the New Deal in
all its phases, from the AAA to
the ZZZ. q,
It didn't work particularly well
in additionally Republican Maine.
A shift in tactics is therefore IN
order. The Republican best
minds are already at work on it.
