 There is no senatorial contest in Michigan. Pensions are minor is- sue. Small Republican house gains at most are forecast by observers.

 Lehman vs. Dewey
 New York is giving the years big political show with contest for gov- ernor between Republican Thomas E. Dewey, 36-year-old rackets prose- cutor, and Gov. Herbert H. Lehman, drafted by Democrats for a fourth term as the most likely to be able to stop Dewey. The experts expected merely that Dewey would give Leh- man a run for his money. But some final week polls put the young Re- publican a shade in the lead; others show Lehman ahead.
 Election of Dewey would be the biggest political news of the year so far. It would put Dewey in line for probable presidential nomination in 1940 and it would give the Republi- can party-as would success in Penn sylvania or elsewhere--a rich ration of state patronage. The New Deal is the issue in New York and Roosevelt prestige requires victory there.
 That issue is refined in the Demo- cratic reelection campaign of Sena- tor Wagner, sponsor of the National Labor Relations, social security, na- tional industrial recovery and other vital New Deal acts. Wagner's vote will be standard to measure popu- larity of New Deal instruments, es- pecially the labor relations board which he conceived.

the case was before the court in 1896
