In Maine, redistricting that
eliminated one Republican seat
and added Democratic territory
to the I'd district endangers
six-term Representative Cliff
ford Mcintyre, Republican. For
all the chaos in New Hamp-
shire, the two House seats
figure to remain safely with
the G. o. p, as does the single
seat in Vermont.
The incumbents are favored
for reelection in Massachu-
sets, where one( Republican
was eliminated by reapportion-
ment. But in the new 5th dis
trict, two incumbents, Republic
can F. Bradford Morse and
Democrat Thomas j. Lane. were
thrown together. Mr.. Morse
is the betting favorite to sur
vive. Rhode Islands two seats
seem sure to stay Democratic
Connecticut is a teaser, with
the outcome of the House races
certain to be affected by the
Senate and Governor contests
II Republicans run close or wir
those places, then John M
Lupton, a strong conservative
is given an excellent chance tt
beat the unknown Democrat
Bernard P. Grabowski, for the
Democratic-held at-large seat
A strong Republican Showing
could also endanger Democratic
incumbents Robert Giatmo anc
John Monagan, but if the tor
races go the other way, Demo.
Gratis could pick up the I'd dis
trict seat.

ward M. (Ted) Kennedy and
George Cabot Lodge in Massa-
chusetts-i one of the easiest
to pick, the headquarters ex-
perts say. Democrats will be
dumfounded If Teddy doesn't

good in almost a dozen State
including New York. Pennsyl'

fornia. A
Now governing only Is State:
with less than one-quarter oil
the population, they could pos
sibly achieve a near parity In
numbers and influence with the
Democrats.
The opportunity is theirs
first. because incumbent Demo-
Gratis in a number of States
have failed to solve problems
Of lingering unemployment and
of inadequate revenue for in
creasing needs, and, second, be-
cause the Republicans are Of
fering an uncommonly talent
ed group Of candidates this
year.
TwOfoId Opportunity
Their reward, If successful,
is twofold: An opportunity to
demonstrate the basic Republic
can thesis that the problems
Of an industrial, urban society
can be met closer to home than
Washington; and an unrivaled
power base from which to
launch a comeback campaign
for the presidency.
Their penalty, If they fail, is
the probability Of at least six
more years in the political will
derness.
All Of this could have been
foreseen with equal accuracy
or inaccuracy six months ago.
The odd, abbreviated campaign
that was delayed in starting
by the prolonged session of
Congress and then eclipsed
abruptly by the Cuban crisis
seems to have changed the
basic outlook hardly at all. Yet,
1t must have made some i'm
pact.
Someone's chances must have
been affected when the Demo-
cratic administration sudden
II adopted the "hard-Iine" pol
icy. Republican critics had
been championing. The sudden
transformation of Mr.. Kennedy
from 8 partisan brawler inter-
ested only in domestic issues
to a President preoccupied with
g threat Of war must affect
the election somehow.
But where and in what way
are obscured in the almost to-
tai blackout Of political talk
the past two weeks. A cam
paign that had barely begun
To gather momentum has al
most disappeared from public
awareness.
The chief mystery is, simply,
Who and how many will bother
to vote under these odd cir
cumstances? What will they
have on their minds, other
than Cuba?
This is the great uncertainty
that attends this election and
II could easily make all the
forecasts look ridiculous.
For what it is worth, how
ever, here is a rundown on the
contests, as seen by reporters
for The Star and their sources
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-11-04

This is no runaway. Abe will
do well to win it by 10000"
Breathing easier is Mary
lands Democratic Representa-
tive Daniel Brewster, a strong
favorite to defeat ex Repre-
sentative Edward Miller for
the seat Republican Senator
John Marshall Butler has
filled. Few Republicans see any
hope for turning back Mr..
Brewster.
Democrats are equally re-
signed to the loss of their pres
ent seat in Wyoming. Interim
Senator Joe Hickey, beset with
troubles previously, was hospi-
talized with a heart attack last
month. Ex-Gov. Milward Simp-
son is the Republican who fig
ures to defeat him.
That leaves six races where
only the hardest will venture
to pick winner:
COlOradO-Senator John Car
roll, one of the most liberal of
the liberal Democrats, faces
conservative Republican Repre-
sentative Peter Dominick. 1t is
a straightforward test Of con-
trasting PHILOSOPHERS and per-
sonalities. Each side claims a
slight edge.
Kentucky Lit. Gov. Wilson
Wyatt, q liberal Democrat,
challenges Senator Thruston
Morton, Republican moderate
and former party chairman.
The State is Democratic, but
the bitter, half-buried feud be-
tween Gov. Bert Combs, backing
Mr.. Wyatt, and ex-Gov. A. B.
Happy Chandler. who sup
ported Senator Morton six years
ago, makes the outcome prob
lematical. 1t may be worth not
ing that Democrats the past
few days have sounded a bit
more hopeful that Happy will
stay in harness for once.
New ACCOMPLISHMENTS
alive Perkins Bass, the Repub-
lican should be an easy winner.
But he barely edged Mrs.
Doloris Bridges, widow of the
late Senator Styles Bridges, in
the primary, and the wounds
have not healed. The possible
beneficiary of the G. o. P. feud-
ing is Thomas Mcintyre, an
attorney and about Kennedy
hacker. Republican traditions
may give Mr.. Bass a slight
advantage.
Pennsylvania - Senator Jo-
seph Clark, the Democrat,
started as the clear favorite
over Representative James Van
Zandt, who took the G. o. p.
nomination with some reluct-
ance. Mr.. Van Zandt's charge
that his rival is soft on COM
munism" was having little inn
pact until the switch on Cuba
policy left the Senator stuck
with his statements against a
blockade. He is also ieopardized
by the possibility of a subStan-
tial Republican SUPERNATURAL
victory. But Pennsylvanians
have split their tickets before
to elect Joe Clark.
Utah-In circumstances re-
versing those Of Colorado, lib
eral Democratic Representative
David King is challenging con-
sentative Republican Senator
Wallace Bennett. Both are
from prominent Mormon fam
lies and their contest is rated
on both sides as a nail-biter.
WiscOnSin-Senator Alex
ander Wiley, Republican, is 70
and his antics on the campaign
trail have raised some eye
brows. Gov. Gaylord Nelson,
his Democratic rival, was scor-
ing heavily when the Senator
was suddenly recalled to Wash
ington by President Kennedy
for conferences on the Cuban
crisis. He prolonged his stay
as long as possible, but is home
again. Democrats are mod
erately hopeful. Republicans
believe the threat has been
blown away on the Caribbean
breeze.
How does it add up? A likely
two or three seat Democratic
gain, boosting their margin to

threshold Of what could b.
their biggest political break
through in a decade the pos
sible control of the governor
ships Of five or six Of the sever
biggest States.
But as they learned to theil
sorrow in New Jersey just last
year, it takes more than con.
fidence to dislodge Democrats
from the State Capitols.
OF the seven States that are
the focus and fulcrum of ma
tional political power, Repub-
licans now govern only one,
New York, There, Gov. Nelson
A. Rockefeller is as solid a bet
for reelection as any Cover
nor in the Nation-except, per-
haps, Orval Faubus Of Arkan-
sas.
California, the No. 2 State,
has the years top political bat
tle-Richard M. Nixon VS.. Gov.
Edmund G. (Pat) Brown. After
trailing his Democratic rival
well into October, Mr.. Nixon,
aided by the Cuban crisis, is
staging his customary driving
finish. He has risked a possibly
adverse reaction to his round
house swings at the Governor
in calculated bid to escape
political oblivion.
May Be as Close as go
Now it is up to the precinct
workers Democrats are hiring
them for the first time to Off
set the traditional Republican
advantage in vote turnout. It
could be as close again as il
was in 1860, when Mr.. Nixon
won the State by $4,000 alb
sentee votes from President
Kennedy.
Pennsylvania, the No. 8
state, finds Representative
William w. Scranton, the Re-
publican, q favorite over Dem
ocrat Richardson Dilworth
Democrats would insert the
word Slight" Republicans, the
word solid" before favorite.
Mr.. Dilworth, the ex-Mayor OF
philadelphia, has the vast
power Of the State and city
Democratic machines going for
him. But it is no secret that
many organization leaders
think he is as sure a loser this
year as he was in 1850, when
he also ran for Governor. De-
spite this, Mr.. Scranton is
sprinting to stay ahead.
Ohio, No. 4, was conceded to
The Republican challenger
State Auditor James A. Rhodes

race really began. But Gov
Michael V. Disable, Democrat
who was almost eliminated in
the May primary, has battlec

q. o. P. prospect, however.

with a list of equal length of
sure Senate winners: Bourke
Hickenlooper Of Iowa, Frank
Carlson and James Pearson OF
Kansas, Jacob Javits of New
York, Milton Young of North
Dakota, George Aiken of Yer
mont and Norris Cotton Of
New Hampshire.
The G. o. P. has five Other
incumbents who rank as ia.
vorites of varying strength,
Minority Leader Everett Nc
Kinley Dirksen Of Illinois; AS.
sistant Senate Republican
Leader Thomas Kuchel of Cal
ifornia; Homer Capehart Of
Indiana. made a hero in his
home State by the turn in
Cuba policy; Len Jordan OF
Idaho, opposed by Represent
alive Oracle Pfost; and Joe
Bottum of South Dakota. SEN
ator Bottum, appointed to re-
place the late Senator Francis
Case, has strong opposition
from George McGovern, former
Peace Corps director. An upset
is not impossible, but late re-
ports to the G. o. P. indicate
the incumbent's edge is in
creasing.
Heavy FavOrites
The list Of favored Demo-
Gratis is twice as long. In addi-
ton to young Mr.. Kennedy,
they include incumbents Lister
Hill of Alabama, Ernest
Gruening of Alaska, Carl Hay
den Of Arizona, J. w. Fulbright
of Arkansas, Edward Long of
Missouri, Mike Monroney of
Oklahoma, Wayne Morse of
Oregon and DIN Johnston of
South Carolina.
The Southerners in this
group - Senators Hill, Full
bright and Johnston - face
their stiffest opposition in
years and the outlook in all
three cases is for considerably
reduced margins. But the de-
feat of any of the trio-Re-
publicans claim it is "just pos
sible" would rank with the
biggest of Tuesdays inevitable
surprises.
Age has been an issue in the
campaigns against both Sem
agors Gruening and Hayden,
particularly since the latter
became i'll, but Democrats now
believe both will come through
fairly easily. Republican Hay
den Crawford has made a Wig
orous campaign against Sen
ator Monroney in Oklahoma,
but polls still show him
trailing.
One surprise addition to the
list of favored Democratic in
cumbents is Senator Frank
Church of Idaho. He was orig
inally thought to be in real
peril from Republican Jack
Hawley. But he has strength
ened his position markedly
since he went home to cam
paign and now looks a good
bet for reelection.
In far-off Hawaii, Demo-
cratic Representative Daniel
Inouye, a Nisei, is an over
whelming favorite to defeat
Republican Ben Dillingham;
scion Of one of the islands
leading families, for the seal
of retiring Senator Oren Long
Democrat.

into an eVen-up battle in the
merged 9th district. Ironically
the same gerrymander gives
Republican James T. Broyhill
a good shot at Representative
Hugh Alexander, Democrat. in
the neighboring 9th district
The new boundaries make some
problems for Democratic Rep
resentatives Basil Whitener and
Roy Taylor, but they are IA
vored to come through.
In South Cardinals I'd dis
trict. centering on State Capital
Columbia, a nominal Democrat,
Albert Watson. who worked ac-
lively for Mr.. Nixon in 1860,
faces Democrat turned Repuh-
lican Floyd Spence. The out
come is in doubt, but the win
ner is sure to be anti-Kennedy
In Georgia, Republican hopes
Of capturing the 5th district
(Atlanta area) seat have
slumped since moderate Charles
Weltner beat incumbent Demo-
cratic Representative James
Davis, a strong conservative, in
the primary. G. o. P. hopeful
L. ]. (Jim) O'Callaghan is now
given only an outside chance of
winning.
In Florida, too. Republicans
dreams are fading. The State
has four new seats. but Repuh-
licans now appear to have a
shot at only one of them, Cape
CanaVeral's new 18th district.
The G.. o. P. candidate is ia
vored there, but is no cinch.
Ex-senator Claude Pepper, a
New Dealer, is expected to
come back to the Capitol as
Representative of a new Miami
district.
Democrats Lost Four Seats
Alabama, Mississippi and Ar
kansas lost a total of four
Democratic seats through re-
apportionment. Democrats are
expected to retain the II re-
naming. In Alabama, the eight
incumbents are running at large
and the G. o. P, with three
candidates, has a slight hope
of knocking off the bottom
man. A major campaign has
been aimed at Representative
James Trimble, an Arkansas
moderate, but he is expected
to come through comfortably.
In Louisiana, the eight DEM
ocrats have no fear for their
safety. The Oklahoma delega-
ton, now 81 Democratic, also
seems unlikely to change. If
anyone falls, it probably will
be Democratic Representative
Victor Wickersham, still at odds
with many fellow-partisans.
The best Republican hope in
Texas is the race for the new
at-large seat. Desmond Barry,
the G. o. P. contender, stands
to benefit from liberal Demo-
Gratis strong dislike for Joe
Pool, the ultra conservative
businessman who carries their
party's banner. Two Demo-
cratic incumbents, Representa-
tives j. T. (Slick) Rutherford
and Walter Rogers, have major
opposition, but both are IA
vored.
