 Election in the States this week saw the COP making some advan- ces, capturing a good many Cover norships and boosting their num- Der in both the House and Senate not enough in either case for ma jority. Probably attracting the most attention was election of Republi- can Thomas A. Dewey to be Cover nor of New Ork over John J. Ben nett, who had the backing of Jim Farley; the vote of FDR but not his blessing. The President had wanted Senator James M. Mead to be Demo candidate but Farley's or ganization was too strong and push ed Bennett into the nomination. Dewey won by about a half million votes, indicating the American La bor Party, which is strong in New York City, gave heavy support to Dewey, the former raeket-buster whose stock now scars as a possible COP presidential contender two years hence.
 Down in Washington State former U. s. Senator c. c. Dill, trying for a comeback in his old fourth dis trict, was defeated by Republican for election to the House. This is the second reverse for Dill since he retired from the Senate after 20 years service. He was defeated for the Demo gubernatorial nomination last year in Washington. They don't come back, and further evidence of it was noted in Nebraska where veteran Senator George Norris with 40 years in the U. S. Senate to his credit and 81 years of life under his belt lost to Republican Wherry. Another old veteran who lost out was Democrat Walter Pierce of Oregon, seeking reelection to- the House. Pierce, former Oregon Gov ernor, has turned 80. Oregon, famed Republican state, went all COP. In Washington Republicans staged a comeback. Evergreen state voters sent Demos Warren Magnuson. Mar tin Smith and John Coffee back to the House and with them two Re- publicans- Hall Holmes and Hen ry Jackson. Veteran Senator Charles L. McNary of Oregon, COP vice. presidential candidate in the last presidential election, rolled through to another handsome victory and his old Senate seat which he has held since 1917. McNary has been mem tioned for the Supreme Court but latest rumble from the States in dica6es Senator Barkley of Kentucky has the inside track. Culbert Ol- son, was busted as Governor of Cal ifornia by Republican Earl War ren and GoPer Earl Shell moved in as Oregon's chief executive, giving all three Pacific Coast states Re- publican governors.
