SENATE

Actually, over The 1917 and
interim elections. the Democrats
gained % seats in the House but
merely held their own in the
Senate.
Strangely enough. while Gov.
Dewey was beaten overWhelm-
ingly in the electoral college, he
ran so strong a national race that
his party is stronger today than
when Wendell Willkie went down
to defeat in 1910. This helped
greatly in overcoming election
bitterness, even though few
spots of post-election- ranceEfe-
manned.
