The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-11-08

sive, insures a fairly complete ad- ministration control.
 It was significant that only one candidate who campaigned on an anti-New Deal platform was elect ed. He was Senator John G.. Townsend, Jr, republican, Della ware, and even he has not been so outspoken against the Roosevelt administration as many of his col leagues on the republican side.
 Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, republican, Michigan, soft-pedalled the conservative republican view point and refrained from direct att tacks upon the New Deal. The survival of this 50-year-old pub fisher, good-looking and eloquent of tongue, has increased the speeu- lation regarding the likelihood of his becoming republican presi- dential possibility in 1886.
 Senator Warren R. Austin, re- publican, Vermont, took no posi- tive position in opposition to Pres ident Roosevelt's policies and the other reelected republicans, in cluding the somewhat doubtful contests in New Mexico and North Dakota, have been more in favor of the New Deal than against 1t.
 Fess and Reed Gone
 Instead of the constant sniping from Senators Simeon D. Fess, re- publican, Ohio, and Arthur K. Robinson, republican, Indiana, MT Roosevelt will have the cOoPefa- tion of Vic Donahey and sherman Minton.

Reed, defeated in Pennsylvania by Joseph Guffey. printers trade before entering politics and winning the governor ship of Ohio for three consecutive terms, is 6S years old and the father of 10 children.
 Minton, only A, IS War Vet-- eran and lawyer. Although active in the American Legion, ne IS pledged to support the president. Guffey, a bachelor, IS the ouu. satnding democratic influence m Pennsylvania politics. "Fighting
 Joe" as his friends call him, helped the Wilson administrator during the war. but contented him self with behind-the-scenes aotivi- ties until his successful senate campaign against Reed.
