Projection of this curve, as the political analysts would say, would mean that Ohio's 26 electoral votes would go Republican in the presidential election unless the "magic name of Roosevelt" is on the ballot. what is worrying Incidentally, some of the New Dealers no little is that this pair of elections in Ohio, in each of which the Republicans did better than in 1938, when they carried the state, fits in with John L. Lewis' gloomy comment that Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey are all set to go Republican unless there is some new hope given to the country by the Democrats. administration decided last session that this session should be just that. d bridegroom.

Hard to Discover What The Administration Wants Apparently the biggest battle is over appropriations, but it is by no means so simple to discover what the administration really wants in any of the test votes. It will be recalled that President Roosevelt, in submitting his budget, called for new taxes calculated to raise $460,000,000. Nobody on Capitol Hill thinks the President actually wants those new taxes before election. They think he actually wants congress to cut $460,000,000 from his budget in order to make them unnecessary. Obviously it would be next to fish. ehrimps, crabs and lobsters Criticism of F. B.

Each would have to yield a little, here and there, in order for the two to approve the result. But congress is definitely determined that there shall be no new taxes at this session, and it is just as determined that there must be drastic enough cuts in the budget to prevent the necessity of boosting that forty-fiv- e billion dollar debt limit before election. Using Defeats in Ohio As Third Term Argument Talk about turning defeat into victorythose Ohio Roosevelt men are really making history! They are turning a crushing New Deal defeat in two Ohio congressional districts into the best argument they have found yet why President Roosevelt must run for another term. One point of their bitter criticism of Gov. John W. Brick-e- r for calling the special elections is now turned on to show their Democratic brethren, in other states as well as Ohio, why Roosevelt must "sacrifice" himself and endure four more years in the White House. Their attack on Bricker was first, that it subjected the state treasury to a heavy expenditure, about $170,000 and second, that it forced a vote at a time when there were no national or e candidates to bring the vote out, and hence gave the Republicans an advantage. It is this second point which they have been talking ever since. "In November," they are saying to termers, "unless we have Roosevelt on the ticket you see what will happen the Republicans will carry Ohio. If we have Roosevelt on the ticket we will carry the Buckle state, and if we do the Repub-d state-wid- anti-thir- d ual senators and representatives, presumably to provide a further argument, when such gentlemen should be called on the White House carpet, to persuade them to vote "right."
