Topeka, Kans., November T.
Kansas stood out today as an island
for Republicans and drys as another
Roosevelt tidal wave engulfed the Ma
ton.
Gov. Alf M. Landon, Republican,
elected two years ago in the face of
the Democratic landslide, repeated
this year. defeating Omar B. Ketchum,
37-year-old printer-mayor Of Topeka,
who charged Landon's administration
had not co-operated fully with the
New Deal.
The vote from 1871 Of 2,691 pre-
cincts gave Landon 297,779 and
Ketchum 247,5l4.
The State affirmed its traditional
dry stand. defeating emphatically a
proposal to repeal its 54-year-old con-
stit1tional prohibition amendment.
The Democratic membership in Con-
gress may remain the same. Edward
Patterson, Democrat, was leading
Harold McGugin, harasser OF the
Roosevelt administration, in the third
district. On the other hand, Mrs.
Kathryn OLoughlin McCarty, Repre-
sentative from the sixth, was succeed
ed by Frank Carlson, Republican.

T. Maloney, bespectacled former may
or of this city, gave Connecticut two
Democrats in the United States Sem
ate for the first time in the States
lengthy history and gave the admin
istration an untiring and forceful
supporter.
Maloney's triumph climaxed a bril-

New Deal and contrasted his record
in the last Congress, in which he
served as Representative, with that
of Frederick c. Walcott, the States
senior Senator. whom he succeeds.
Walcott has steadfastly opposed the
administration.
As mayor of this city, Maloney is
credited with having installed the

almost intact by the administration as

Government took over the public
works project, Meriden was well pre-
pared to carry 1t out.

in the auditors Office gave him an
other nickname, the watchdog Of
