one man began the job, carrying a dollar across the road

LETTER'f
By CHARLES P. STEWART
XEA Service Writer
WASHINGTON. The present Scn
ato is so evenly divided that the
outcome of the Brookhart-Steck con
test for one of the Iowa seats has a
lot more importance than such a
fight ordinarily has, and they al
ways are pretty important.
Originally Brookhart was suppos
ed to have won hy a small majority.
The Senate committee's recount,
recently finished, wiped out this
margin and more too, giving Steck
a bigger advantage than Brookhart
ivaB thought to have had.
However, tills !.- on the basis of
uncontested ballots. There are
enough contested ones either to in
crease Steck's lead or to throw
victory Brookhart's way again, de
pending on how they're counted.
'
It will be up to the Senate, when
Congress reconvenes, to decide about
the contested votes. What it does
decide will determine whether Smith
W. Brookhart or Daniel F. Stock
shall represent Iowa in the upper
House for the next six years.
A few commentators have been no
unsophisticated as to suggest that
it's a matter for the "intent" of the
Iowans' ballots, not the Senate, to
settle. it5j!i
Ah. but the controversy has passed ;
out of the Iowans' hands now and .
Into the Senate's. Little enough i
the Iowans will have to Bay about
it hereafter.
The Senate, then, will chose be
tween Brookhart and Sleek. Nor
mally the Republicans would vote
for Ihe Republican candidate and
the Democrats for the Democrat,
hut (his contest is peculiar.
Nominally u Republican, Brook
hart was o iiniannagenble.in.Jliuj
last Congress that the regular Rr-
nubllcaua would prefer the Demo- !
tnree ranama canais, wouia pay trie saiane3 or an tne
teachers and school superintendents in the United States
for a year and a half, or would keep the postal service
tioine'for nearly two years. Eeon6my and patriotism
