Senate seats. Three Republicans and
one Democrat leading for the House
Third: Two Republican Senators
elected on basis of unofficial re-
turns. Solid Democratic delegation
of seven leading for the House in
the second straight election.
Fourth: Two Republican Senators
leading; four Republicans and one
Democrat leading for the House.
The races might easily end with
the parties evenly divided in both
! houses. The more significant factor
then would be whether individuals
hewed to party lines in their atti-
| tude toward Governor Gruening
and administration policies.
Although the Republicans are
leading for six out of eight Senate
seats, the prospect of party control
in the Senate is evenly balanced
because the Democrats have six
out of eight edge on the holdover
Senators who were elected in 1948
for four-year terms.
Two Pull Ahead
The Third Division Democrats
who pulled ahead of the two Repub-
licans who had been in the group of
leaders for the seven seats were
two incumbents Rep. Chester
(Red) Carlson, Cordova fisherman,
and DR.. c. A. Pollard, dentist whose
home is at Kasilof. Both pulled up
steadily on late returns after trail
ing earlier. If Carlson holds his spot
among the top seven, it will be a
triumph for unique campaign
policy: no campaigning; IF they
want me they can vote for me-"
Democratic Speaker of the House
Stanley McCutcheon was another
who was forging up on late returns.
He had pulled up to second place
among the Third Division candi-
dates.
Two Democratic incumbents in
the House still trailed in the Fourth
Division.
Rep. Essie Dale was in eighth
place for the five seats in the
Fourth Division. and Rep. Frank
Angerman was ninth.
