Show Friday, November 4, 1938 UTAII VALLEY NEWS How Will America Vote on Nov. 8? behave?" Newsweek recently put these three questions to about political correspondents representing dally newspapers of all hades of political opinion, and to eight seasoned professional politicians, including Jim Farley and John Hamilton. Their answers. tabulated In a late issue of the magaslna, cast an interesting light on a topic which, with the elections Just around the corner. Is engaging great interest. At the present time, the Democrats have the largest congressional majority in history. There are IIS followers of the Donkey In the House, as against II partisans of the Elephant, and XI members of minor parties.

The answers of the correspon- dents responding to Newsweeks query, when averaged, revealed that they believed the Republicans would gain exactly 60 seats In the House, the Democrat would lose 10. and the representation of minor parties would remain at XI. The eight politicians replies, when averaged, forecast that the Republicans would gain It seats, the Democrats would lose 10, and the minor parties would lose I. Both groups forecast a gain of 4 seats In the Senate by the Republicans, at the expense of the Democrats. If these predictions are borne out, the Republicans will thus make a decent showing in the election a gain of 60 seats, even in an election, cannot be discounted.
