ton. There is talk of putting Mr..
Smith forward as a coalition Demo
cratic Republican candidate for Sen
ator on an compromising anti
New Deal platform.
On the Republican side, much
hope is being pinned on Pennsyl-
vania, where observers see indica-
tions of a strong conservative swing
which may elect Arthur James, Re-
publican, as Governor, and re-elect
Senator James j. Davis. In the ma
ton at large, the Republicans are
counting now upon a minimum OF
80 additional Congressman, which
would give them respectable min
ority representation of ITO, only SO
fewer than a minority. And unless
New Deal candidates for Congress
sweep the field in the concedely
Democratic districts, the Republi-
cans, in the event of holding ITO
seats in the House, could form an
effective coalition with conservative
Democrats to block the Administra-
ton program.
