HAS CONFIDENCE AS ELECTION TEST FACED FATE OF EXPERIMENT IS SEEN IN BALANCE i HE RETAINS BELIEF IN NEW DEAL POIH LARITV ANOTHER LEFT SIIIKT IN LATEST SPEECH WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 As this Is printed, the last echo of oratory will have mercifully died. All over the country, tho voters will bo going to the polls, to pass on the New Deal for the third time since Its Inception. And in the evening, If he follows his custom, the president will seat him self at the big dinner table In Hyde Park, to watch the press tickers pile up their blue and yellow slip and to compute the election returns, while a family party talks and waits for news In the other room. Of all those anxiously waiting for the outcome, the president Yf the greatest stake in the election. It will fulfill or disappoint the personal am bitions of others. For the president, who has already achieved hla ambi tions. It may determine the fate of the vast governmental experiment which he has fathered. If his mood may be guessed from reports of men close to hlra, he faces the test with mixed feelings, arrffJhg which confidence, as usual, pre dominates. The first Item to be noted is that he has a ready-made excuse for common failures. Unless his op ponents score a real triumph, he is likely to attribute democratic losses to democrats refusal to stand square ly on the New Deal record. At the very beginning of the New York campaign, for example, he had a difference of opinion with Postmaster General James A. Farley. Consider ing Tom Dewey a dangerous candi date, he urged that every man on the democratic ticket should make a vig orous fight, and that the New Deal should provide the single slogan .for them all. Perhaps, embarrnsed by Governor Herbert Lehman's rather pale enthusiasm for the New Deal, Jim Parley argued In reply that the democrats were far ahead, and that they should not risk a loss of Leh man's conservative strength by any aggressive action.

The major offices at stake were 3S senate seats, 32 governorships, and 433 house seats. Only In Maine, which elected a Republican governor and three representatives In Septem ber, was no vote being cast. Candidates were many and the issues varied, but in the L .Ik of the congressional contests the question of support or opposition to Roosevelt policies, predominated. The president, himself, appealed only last Friday for election of men who would favor "liberal" proposals. Republicans, with an eye on 1940, criticized the national administra tion and many of its works and called for election of candidates ad- (Continued on Page Three ) BUDGET FOR 1939 The 1939 budget was formally ap proved by the city council at an adjourned meeting and public hear ing lat yesterday afternoon.
