The Democratic party today cele
brated the greatest political victory
in its history after an electoral
whirlwind had relegated Republi-
cans to their weakest position since
the Civil war.
The Democratic gains broke the
back of Republican opposition in
the senate, and maintained an over.
whelming Democratic majority in
the house.
Reed of Pennsylvania and FeSS OF
Ohio fell early in the senate storm.
Joseph F. Guffy today became the
first Democrat elected to the sen
ate from Pennsylvania since 1875.
His new deal" victory somewhat
retrieved the loss of 1882 when Her
bert C. Hoover carried Pennsylva
MIA against Franklin D. Roosevelt.
/ Vic Donahey defeated FeSs.
/ Striking on the Atlantic coast and
reaching far inland, the Democratic
tide swept seven Republican senate
seats and was moving on three
more.
Robinson of Indiana, like Fess an
"anti-new dealer lost to Sherman
/ Minton, who thumped new deal
drum.
At best, the Republicans can re
tain but 81 senate seats against 81
or &c for the Democrats and one or
two for minor parties.
! Reed-Fess Beaten
| More than 200 Democrats have
been elected to the house and more
than so others are leading their Re
publican opponents. Against these
totals, just more than 45 Republi-
cans we're actually elected and
about 40 were leading in the various
returns.
Down with Reed, FeSs and Robin
son went Kean of New Jersey, Pat
terson of Missouri, Walcott of Con
necticut and Herbert of Rhode Is
land. Their successful opponents
were: A. Harry Moore, N. j., Harry
6 Truman, Mo-. Francis T. Malon
! ey, Conn, and Peter G.. Gerry, r. 1
Democratic senate candidate!

other stops. well-wiSherS crowded

Bedlam prevailed at Merriam
headquarters.
Haight Gracious
Haight accepted his defeat grac-
iouSly Although he had forecast
victory. the commemorative Pro-
gressive candidate abandoned hope
within two hours after first re-
turns were in. He messaged Mer-
miam a note of congratulation.
Merriam s victory was the crown
ing climax of a career which. like
that of former President Hoover,
started on an Iowa farm. He en-
tered politics in his home state,
came to California in 1910 to cast
his political fortune and within six
years caught on as an assembly
man. Twelve years of service in
the lower house were followed by
election to the state senate. After
becoming lieutenant governor III
1880. fate assigned him to COVER
norship with the death Of Gov
James Rolph, Jr.
Long regarded as a die-hard
conservative. Merriam mixed his
campaign speeches with a generous
dash of liberalism. One of his
pledges was to support the new deal
program of President Roosevelt.
The governor is a widower. He
has two daughters, one son, one
step-son and five grandchildren.
His immediate plans called for a
day of rest, a session at his office
here tomorrow and a meeting with
the board of regents of the Uni
Versity of California at Los Angeles
on Friday. On Saturday night, ht
will attend a ball to be given here
by a veterans organization. He
said he would return TO Sacramento
next week.
