CALDWELL Call 276 Senator Hiram W. Johnson of Cal ifornia is safely re-elected, having], gained a majority of the, primary' votes of the Republican, Democratic] and progressive parties of his state,] an unheard-of achievement. Senator! Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan is' considered as having a hard fight i on his hands, and so has another Re-! publican, Senator Townsend of Dela-* ware. ^ But there are many Inore Demo cratic senators who seem to be lac-! mg a hard and doubtful struggle. They include Senators Minton of In diana, Maloney of Connecticut, Slat tery of Illinois, Gerry of Rhode Is land, Meade pf New York, Guffey of Pennsylvania, and Chjavez of New Mexico. Senator King of Utah was eliminated in a primariy last week. ’The expectation here is that the Republicans will, send senators to replace Democrats in Ohio, Maine and possibly Nebraska and Wadiing- ton, while Washington hears that thei only “Progressive” senator, LaFol- lette of Wisconsin, is in danger of losing to a Republican. Senator Ship- stead of Minnesota, now sitting as a member of the Farmer-Labor party, is expected to be reelected, this time as a Republican. ' Republicans Ceufldeat In the house of representatives, where the Republicans made enough gains in 1936 tq make up a respec table opposition bloc, the party’s ex pert forecasters here are confident that, whichever presidential candi date wins, there will be a great many more Republicans in the lower house. Indeed, some are saying that the in teresting possibUi^y exists, in case of Mr. Roosevelt’s reelectfam ttiat he xnay have to contend wUh a Repub lican majority in the house, just as Mr. Willkie faces a OoBocratic ma jority in the aenaie.
