dates had taken "a Democratic seats

Republican Party Has
Won Political Prizes
Major Political Status Returned at Expense Of New
Dealers-New State Citadels Are Created for
Presidential Fight in 1910
BY LYLE C. WILSON

-NCAASC0 4ACCo 0snAA SUAACSpOhUChSl
New York, Nov. 9-(UP)-The Re-
publican party regained rich poll
tical prizes in yesterdays general
election and returned today to major
political status at the expense of
the New Deal and minor parties.
The six years of New Deal-Demo-
cratic triumphs has been reversed.
But the Democratic party retained
control of Congress despite losses
and won outstanding and signifi-
cant victories in a scattering of
states.
This election in Al states : Maine
voted in September = constitutes the
18th Congress, establishes new Re-
publican state citadels and probably
points the nation to rousing, bet
ter matched presidential contest IN
1910 than it has been experienced OF
late.
Popular Reaction
Returns variously were interpreted
as a more-than-normal off-year
swing from a majority party, as the
ukJO4AVb Va HOPUleAA ASesNVAOAA ~ S~-c
1937-38 depression and continued
unemployment, or as swing away
from the more advanced of New Deal
labor and reorganizational policies.
But there was no conclusive proof
that President Roosevelt,S personal
popularity had been jolted below the
majority level. Neither did the foil
ing answer the question, Will condi-
lions persuade Mr.. Roosevelt to run
for a third term?
Republicans have won, or are
leading in contests which would
give them a net gain of eight Sen
ate seats, IL new governorships, and
20 or more additional seats in the
House of Representatives.
Republican gains were at the ex-
pense of Democrats, Progressives
and Farmer-Laborites. The election
adds up generally to sharp reverse
to the New Deal-Democratic party
and its more or less allied liberal,
