BATTLE Of BALLOTS
TOTEST POPULARITY
OF new DEAL IDEAS
Republicans Hope off-Year Tide
Will Strengthen Them in
Congress

washington. April 3.-(R-A ma
tionwide ballot box test OF the new
DEAL will start a week from Tuesday.
Illinois voters, lining up for the
first Of the primaries Of the national
off-year elections, will inaugurate
activities that in the next seven
months will reach into every state.
November will finish the election Of
IS senator's. about the same number
Of governors. and the entire house.
Republicans are voicing openly the
hope that the usual off-year tide will
restore them to many offices they
lost in the Roosevelt landslide Of 1892.
Democrats predict that gains In the
senate will offset an immaterial loss
Of seats In the house.
The Illinois primaries next week
will mark the start, but will give lit
tie indication of the outcome Of the
whole race. There is neither guber-
Material nor q senatorial contest in
that state this year.
Speaker Rainey brought the White
House angle strongly into the picture,
however, when he reported advices
from his trends that financial inter-
ests In New York were planning to
donate in an effort to defeat him be-
cause Of his stand for Rooseveltian
measures.
Battle Starts In May
The battling will get under way In
earnest next month, with primaries in
six states. The first come May l. in
South Dakota and Alabama, where
governorships are at stake in addition
to house seats.
The first senatorial contest will be
reached in Indiana May 8, with SEN
ator Robinson, Republican incumbent,
fighting for reelection.
Oregon's primary on May Is, with
no senate or governorship at stake,
will close the balloting for next
month. Six more primaries come in
June, three In July, and then August
brings IL, with the rest in September.
While Democratic leaders privately
concede they probably will lose some
seats in the house, Republicans say
they will gain as many as 70 or 80.
Even the latter, however. would leave
the Democrats in control.
In the senate, the situation is far
different. Thirty-five senators are
up. including II Democrats, II Re-
publicans and one Farmer-Laborite,
shipstead Of Minnesota.
Six Of the Democrats, however,
come from the so-called solid south.
where even the Republican concede
there Is no chance Of . turnover,
while many Of the Republicans face
their contests In closely divided
states.
Representative Shoemaker already
has come out against Senator Ship
stead for the Minnesota Farmer
Laborite nomination, while Repre-
sentative Cannon &Dem., Wis.,, has
been mentioned Is q possible candi-
date against Senator LAEollette. Pro-
gressive Republican.
