100000. The Democrats had hoped to
save this Senate seat, considering
Mr.. Lehman unbeatable.
Another Democratic upset was the
defeat of Gov. Maurice Tobin in
Massachusetts by Republican Gov
Robert F. Bradford.
The great turnover in the vote
In the cities, from Democrat to
Republican. gave the COP the ad-
vantage. In these great industrial
centers for the last dozen years the
Democrats have run up huge plu-
ralities. In New York City yester-
day, Gov. Dewey held Senator
Mead's lead to around 100000, and
Senator Mead had the support of
the Democratic, American-Labor,
Liberal, Communist and Socialist
Parties. The combined registration
of these parties over the Repub-
lican registration in greater New
York was, approximately 100000.
The reelection of Gov. Dewey by
such a vote Immediately projected
his name into the consideration OF
presidential possibilities in 1948.
However, other Republican victors
at the polls yesterday will have their
followings for the presidential NOM
ination, among them former Gov.
John w. Bricker of Ohio, who was
elected Senator by a big majority,
and Gov. Earl Warren of California,
who was the nominee for e-election
by both the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties.
In Massachusetts,, veteran Sen
ator Walsh, chairman of the Naval
Affairs Committee and an opponent
of the Presidents plan for unifica
ton of the War and Navy Depart
ments, was defeated oy former
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, jr..
who resigned his Senate seat to
serve abroad in the Army. Senator
Walsh had been an opponent of the
Roosevelt foreign policy before
Pearl Harbor and also of some of
the New Deal measures.
Guffey Badly Defeated.
Senator Guffey, 100 per cent New
Deal Democrat, of Pennsylvania
was slaughtered in his race for re-
election by Gov. Edward M. Martin,
Republican. Philadelphia, which
gave Mr.. Roosevelt big lead in
1914. turned to the Republican
candidates by about 100000 votes.
Out on the Pacific Coast, Repre-
sentative Hugh De Lacy, Democrat,
of Washington, Endorsed by James
Roosevelt. son of the late President,
was defeated by his Republican op-
ponent. Homer r. Jones. Mr.. De
Lacy was accused of being Com
munist-and certainly had Com
n1unist support. This was a Re-
publican gain in the House.
Another contest that ended IA
vorably for the Republicans was in
the 7th Kentucky district, where
Representative May, chairman of
the House Military Affairs Commit
tee, involved in a Senate investi-
CATION of the Carson munitions
combine, was defeated by w. Howes

Guffey in Pennsylvania and Repre-
sentative Emily Taft Douglas, DEM
ocrat, running for reelection as
Representatives. in Illinois,
were nearly all defeated. The Kelly
Democratic machine in Chicago was
unable to stem the tide against Mrs.
Douglas.
Hague Machine Fails.
The Hague Democratic machine
In New Jersey, which has been badly
knocked around since Republican
Gov. Walter E. Edge has been in
office, could do nothing to prevent
the reelection of Republican SEN
ator Smith. nor to prevent the elec-
ton OF another Republican as Gov

Republican Patrick J. Hurley,
former Ambassador to China, and
Senator Chavez, Democrat, see
