Show Former NJ. Governor Sees Democrats as Holding Their Own The former Democratic governor gover-nor of New Jersey predicted in Salt Lake City this week that "assuming a stable economy the Democratic Party will hold the congressional majorities in this year's election." Former Gov. Robert B. Mey-ner, Mey-ner, who now is practicing law in Newark, N.J., was in Salt Lake City on business. He said his reading of the current cur-rent political scene indicates that the public feels President John F. Kennedy is doing a good job and that the Democratic Party is not likely to lose congressional seats unless there is a disturbing downturn in the economy. The former governor said he still is keeping in touch with New Jersey politics but that he had no plans for 1964. The state's Senate seat which will be filled in 1964 now is held by another Democrat who actively supported support-ed Mr. Meyner. However, the situation in 1966 might be different, he indicated. Then the Senate seat held by Republican Clifford Case will be up. |
