ELECTION A BODY-BLOW
TO NEW DEAL PHILOSOPHY
LEADERS OF INTELLECTUAL
LEFT-LIBERALLSM LOSE
...
O.O.P. FUTURE IS
STILL DOUBTFUL

Minlll.E-OF-ROAD
DEMOS CAIN HOPE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. On the
faoe of the returns. It Is difficult
to escape the conclusion that the
1838 election la a body-blow ti the
new deal. The Democratic party did
not fare so badly. The Republican
galna are far from decisive aa to
1940. What really suffered In the vot
ing was the special brand of intel
lectual left-liberalism which la sug
gested by the phrase, "new deal," as
distinguished from the title "Demo
crat." The situation la curiously confus
ed, for Franklin Delano Roosevelt Is
the chief figure of the new deal, yet
his personal popularity la also the
Democratlo party's grentest asset. By
a Judicious uso of the power he will
continue to derive from his popular
ity and his command' of the federal
machine, the president may still save
much from the ruins. -
The successes of Lehman, Wagner
and Mead In New York, and of the
penston-shouters, Downey and Olson,
In California, are bright spot for
the president. The defeats of a num
ber of conservative Democrats, like
Augustine Lonergan In Connecticut,
provide a sort of cold consolation.
But the fact remclns that virtually
every elective official with whom the
president and his new dealers felt
themselves In real sympathy haa now
been thrown out of office.
The new deal's losses began In the
summer primaries, when the Texas
liberals. Maury Maverick and W. D.
McParlsne, were trounced by conser
vative Democrats. And then, on
Tuesday, came real disaster.
Frank Murphy of Michigan was the
personal crony of the president and
bis Intimate circle, the only man be
sides Herbert Lehmon whom the
president Indorsed In his Friday
speech, and the only Democratic gov
ernor In the whole country who en
joyed complete favor among the new
dealers. He has been beaten, and by
a reactionary Republican, Frank D.
Fitzgerald, whose record Is unim
pressive and backers are unsavory.
Then Elmer Benson of Minnesota,
while not Intimate with the pres
ident, had many close friends among
the new dealers, Bnd was looked on
