F. B. 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.

Bitter Pennsylvania Contests
Climaxed by Early and
Heavy Vote Kentucky
Soldiers Called Out
By the Associated Press
Clement weather over much of
the country beckoned voters in near
record throngs today to register an
"off-year'.' test of the New Deal's
national standing by electing hun
dreds of congressmen and state of
ficials. Balloting was early and heavy In
Pennsylvania, where citizens chose a
senator and governor after one of
the bitterest contests of 1038 cam
paigning. Other Industrial centers
reported crowds swarming the poll
ing ptaces to write the decision on
Republican efforts to reduce big
Democratic majorities In the senate,
house and 48 governorships.
Chilly In South
In the south, however, chilly wea
ther and rain tended to keep down
the voting which for the mast part
constituted merely ratification of
Democratic nominations made months
ago.
First meager returns In Massa
chusetts put Leverett Saltonstall,
Republican, out In front of James
M. Curley, Democrat, for the gov
ernorship. In Kansas, closely watched
for farm sentiment toward President
Roosevelt's farm program. Senator
McGill, Democrat, gained an early
edge In a handful of Incomplete re
turns over Clyde Reed. Republican.
In the same town of Pittsburg the
Democratic governor, Walter A. Hux
man, topped Payne H. Ratner, hts
Republican opponent. H
Call Kentucky fiunrd
Threats of disorder brought out
the national guard In Harlan, Ky.,
where there was an electton-evc
shooting. In Albany, N. Y., 26 voters
were arrested on charges of Illegal
registration.
The outpouring of citizens from
factory and field, from kitchen and
office, gave every Indication of set
tiny a voting record surpassed only
by the 45,000,000 total of 1936.
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-
