V f?S "l ? 1 Republican and Democratic political strength is apparently more on a par than it has been for many years, according to results of the recent off-year state and city elections. GOP candidates won not only the posts they were expected to get but also some they were not expected to get. Three of the victors are pictured above. Left: Walter E. Edge, Republican, elected governor of the State of New Jersey. Center: Joe R. Hanley, Republican, elected lieutenant-governor of New York state. Right: Simeon S. Willis, Republican, elected governor gov-ernor of Kentucky in a tight vote battle. Kentucky had not elected a Republican governor since 1927. The recent election was said to have been the closest in that state since 1915. In Philadelphia, Pa., Mayor Bernard Ber-nard Samuel won over his Democratic opponent, William C. Bullitt, former ambassador to Russia and France. |
