Election Snapshots
An old time friend of Pete Duffy
remarked Tuesday night that he
was glad the election was over, for
Pete s sake. He sold that he was
positive that Pete had lost at least
thirty pounds during the last ten
days of the campaign. The chunky
boy from Ewing made him step so
fast and set such a pace that Pete
was afraid he would be left at the
post.
Art Marquardt made a splendid
race for the office of sheriff. He
ran against a man that has
probably more warm personal
friends than any other man in the
county and one who knows more
people in the county than any other
man, yet he was forced to extend
himself to escape destruction at the
ballot box. Art made many friends
over the county and will probably
be a prominent factor in republican
politics in the county in coming
elections.
Nebraska republicans, after sev
eral years of absence, have again
taken over several offices in the
stale capitol, which have been held
for the past six years by demo
crats. The office of Lieutenant gov
ernor, was captured by William E.
Johnson, of Schuyler; auditor, Ray
C. Johnson, of Lincoln; Treasurer,
Dr. T. W. Bass, of Lincoln; attor
ney general, W’alter R. Johnson, of
Omaha; railway commissioner,
Vuano T. Swanson, of Omaha. The
democrats captured but two of the
state offices, governor and secre
tary of state. Two years from now
■we will take possession of the
balance. '
John Hopkins, for the past
twelve years sheriff of Douglas
county went down to defeat at the
election last Tuesday at the hands
of W. H. Dorrance whose majority
was 3,475. John’s many Holt
county friends regret that the po
litical wheels of chance turned in
the wrong direction.
Even Wisconsin is back in the
republican column electing their
entire state ticket as well as a
United States Senator. It has
been so long since Wisconsin was
classed in the republican column at
election time that many grown men
have no recollection of the date.
Eeven Indiana is back in the re
publican fold, electing their entire
state ticket, but electing the sitting
democratic senator who was one
of the senators marked for purg
ing. Many republicans were grate
ful to Senator Van Nuys for his
work to save constitutional govern
ment and voted for him.
For the first time in many years
Minnesota elected a republican
governor and their entire state
ticket. Oh, yes, farmers and people
generally were in favor of the New
Deal. Governor Benson, who went
down to defeat was one of the pets
of the administration.
Dr. T. W. Bass was state treas
urer during 1931 and 1932. He was
a candidate for re-election in the
fall of 1932 and went down to de
feat in the democratic landslide.
He ran again in 1934 and 1936, be
ing defeated both times. He was
again the republican candidate for
state treasurer at the last election
and he was again elected to the
state treasurership. Nothing like
being being consistent, Doc.
When Charles Warner crawled
into bed with Charley Bryan on the
$30 a month old age pension plan
he defeated himself from being
elected governor ol Nebraska.!
Hundreds of republicans deserted
Charles when he made that an
nouncement. At the time the an
nouncement was made the result
could not be foreseen, but the re
sult of the election clearly proves
ft.
Governor Cochran managed to be
reelected for a third consecutive
term as governor by a scant ma
jority of 15,000. Douglas county
gave him a majority of 37,(KH).
Where would the great governor
have been without his Omaha sup
port?
Douglas county republicans
started in to clean out the court
house. While they did not clean
theoffices entirely the four big guns
of the court house were eliminated,
the men whom the World-HerafU
said were running the affairs of the
county.
One of the bright spots in Ne
braska in the last election is the
fact that many counties that had
their offices filled with democratic
officers the past six and eight
years, will have their offices filled
with republicans after the first
week in January. The G. O. P. is
coming back strong.
Karl Stefan, of the Third dis
trict, will not be the only republi
can in congress from Nebraska in
the next congress. He will be
joined by George H. Heinke, a bit
ter opponent of New Dealism, of
Nebraska City, and Carl Curtis,
another New Deal apponent from
Minden, Nebraska, the home of the
present congressman, Binderup,
whom he cleaned up last Tuesday.
The congressional delegations now
stands three republican and two
democrats. .
N. C. Crowell was down from
Stuart last Wednesday. N. C. is an
ardent republican and likes to dis
cuss politics. The other evening
he informed a few local advocates
of the New Deal that he had to
keep rather quiet for the past six
years, but as a result of the election
last Tuesday he felt that a repub
lican could expre ss himself again
freely and forcibly ui„r.out being
considered an interloper.
Nation Press Comments
On Tuesday’s Election I
The nation's press viewed the
results of Tuesday’s elections as a
“return to normalcy,” s wing of
the political pendulum toward
conservatism, “a warning to the
new deal,” and a sign of the re
juvenation of the republican party.
Following are excerpts from edi
torials in the various sections,
gathered by the Associated Press:
NEW ENGLAND
Christian Science Monitor, (in
dependent): American political
geography hus returned nearer to
normalcy. The higher ledges of
rock ribbed republicanism, lost to
view for eight years, emerge once
more in familiar form as the flood
(of democratic victories) rteedcs.
The capture of 12 more governor
ships and the general show of
grass rootB strength will not only
encourage the minority for 1940;
it will nourish party organization
which has been starving at the
roots.
The Boston Transcript (repub
lican): While it is far too early
to measure the full significance,
nobody except the extreme parti
san will fail to be comforted by
amazing republican gains in both
houses of congress. This is a de
velopment not only long overdue,
but decidely in the public interest.
11 means new responsibility
for presenting sound legislation on
the administration.
The Boston Traveler (independ
ent): “It is too early yet to ab
sorb the whole national story. Lo
cal issues, as in Massachusetts,
largely settled many state elec
tions, except those in which Presi
dent Roosevelt expressed a per
sonal interest. No anti-new dealer
should overlook the fact that
many republicans were elected
only by the aid of new dealers who
are still Rooseveltians.
New Haven Register (independ
ent): The outstanding facts are
first—that there will be no third
term for President Roosevelt; Sec
ond—That the president’s personal
endorsement of a candidate out
side of his own state is in reality
a liability and that the people are
tired of being told by the adminis
tration how to vote; Third—That
elections can no longer be con
trolled by squandering the tax
payer’s money in the name of re
lief.
MIDDLE ATLANTIC
New York Daily News (Ind.)—
A survey of the nationwide elec
tion returns informs us that the
American political pendulum has
begun to swing back to the right
GALENA LUMBER CO.
—toward conservatism. * * * Will
the various major new deal re
forms be repealed? Such things
we mean, as social security, the
Wagner act, the fair labor stand
ards act, bank desposit insurance,
government financed slum clear
ance, the SEC, CCC and WPA. W'e
think not. The people are too much
in favor of them.
New York Daily Mirror (Ind.)
—Republican gains of eight sen
ate seats, about 70 house seats
and about 14 governors mean that
once more the republican party is
worthy of the name ‘opposition.*
NewYork Sun (Ind.-Rep.)—
The returns from the nation as a
whole tell a consistent story of im
pressive republican gains. This
was no local upswing, but a move
ment everywhere in evidence of
such proportions as to serve notice
on the new deal of a profound
change in public opinion which as
yet may be only in its first stages.
New York Post (New Deal)—
Tuesday’s election was a test of
the new deal under fire. The lib
eral minded people of New York
voted with a purpose and discrimi
nation which shames both their
critics and some of their chicken
hearted friends.
New York World-Telegram
([nd. Dem.)—Clearer than ever
now is the correctness of the dem
ocratic party leaders that only
with the governor (Lehman) could
they possibly beat the brilliant
young rejuvenator of the state
g. o. p. (Dewey) * * * Experience,!
represented by the governor, won.
Albany, N. Y., Knickerbocker
News (Ind., Rep.,)—The para
mount issues were two: Whether
the country had tired of the im
pulsiveness and radicalism of the
new dealers and wished to turn
back to the conservative funda
mentals of democracy; whether or j
not relief in politics was a power
ful force in American politics. The!
answer in both instances is “yes.”
Trenton, N. J., Evening Times
(Ind.): Neither the Roosevelt!
“purge” nor a direct appeal from
the white house for the support
of democratic candidates prevented
the voters from registering em
phatic dissent by the millions.
During the next ,two years the
g. 0. p. is going to assume a new
spirit of agrressiveness.
Newark, N. J., Evening News
(Ind. Rep.): The great series of
Roosevelt victories that dominated
the American political scene from
1932 on haB been halted. The land
slides of 1932, 1934 and 1936 can
be well understood, but it is good
for us all that there once again
will be two parties in American
politics.
Newark, N. J., Star-Eagle (ind.
rep.): Once again democracy re
vealed its capacity, when aroused,
to cleanse itself. From the na
tional points of view, the election
served notice that the new deal
is on the skids. It was a fitting
prelude to 1940.
EAST CENTRAL
The Dayton Daily News (dem.):
The general conclusion: Repub
licans, if they can now pull them
selves together with some such
vision as Dewey showed in New
York, can hope for a future life.
The democrats, once more opposed
by a respectable outside force, will
have to be closing ranks around a
common cause. The new situation
should make for political and pub
lic national health.
The Toledo Blade (ind. rep.):
The elections in the several states
have demonstrated one thing be
yond a shadow of a doubt. It is
that the republican party has been
stirringly revitalized. From the
obvious trend Roosevelt should
realize that the people want a
change.
WEST CENTRAL
Chicago Daily News (rep.):
Yesterday’s election provides a
gratifying and inspiring prelude
to a successful republican cam
paign in the crucial presidential
election of 1940. It means the end
of the silly talk of a third term
for the incumbent in the presi
dent^.
Kansas City Star. (Ind. Rep.):
The outcome will put new en
thusiasm into the republicans and
make them again a vital force in
national affairs. The defeatist at
titude is gone. The party should
emerge a fighting organization
with a real hope of victory in the
presidential election of 1940.
Oklahoma City Times (Inch):
The most amazing race in the na- j
tion was that of young Tom Dewey |
in New York state against Gov.
Herbert Lehman. If able Lehman
had been new deal he would have
been sunk. Dewey, beaten by a
hair in his first statewide cam
paign at 3G years of age is a
G. 0. P. white hope with a long
way to travel.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch. (Ind.):
So sweeping were the republican
victories * * * that is it clear the
country after six years, has
evinced a trend toward conserva
etism in national policies. * * *
The general Result must be con
strued not so touch as an affirma
tive vote for t^ie republicans as a
[protest vote'against new deal pol
icies. .;<(*) ' • ’ - 1 ”
Des Moines .Tribune. (Ind): In
- Mi* , * '
number of congressional seats
gained, the victory of the repub
licans may not much exceed gen
eral expectation. It will be debat
able whether this mid-term elec
tion presages democratic defeat in
the presidential contest of 1940.
But getting away from considera
tion of new seats in congress, other
results make this unquestionably a
republican victory.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN
Denver Post. (Ind.): The enor
mous gains made by the repub
lican party must be interpreted as
a demand that congress do its own
thinking. * * * It will be interest
ing to see what kind of mandate
President Roosevelt will find in
the returns.
PACIFIC COAST
Portland, Ore. Journal. (Dem.):
The election was not a defeat for
the democratic party; it was a
warning to some of its leadership.
It was an admonition (to the new
FOURTEEN
deal) to put on the brakes. In
cidently it closed the conversa
tion about a third term for Mr.
Roosevelt.
Tacoma, Wash. News-Tribune
(Ind-Rep.)—Significant was the
heavy republican vote in the
middle west and the several re
publican victories which proved
conclusively that the farmers are
tired of the bungling of the agri
culture problem.
SOUTH
Dallas Times-Herald (Ind.)—
The general election Tuesday, like
the primaries of the summer,
clearly revealed that the nation is

ical phases of the new deal. The
result showed also that the re

and will be in position to face the
democrats with strong opposition
in 1940.
Richmond News-Leader (Dem.)
A new political map of the
United States showing democratic
or republican control of the dif
ferent states, will more nearly re
semble that of 1928 than any that
has been drawn since that time.
The republican party has shown
that it is neither dead nor sleep
ing. Its victories will revivfy it.
Birmingham, Ala., News (Ind.
Dem.)—The swing toward repub
lican candidates was expected. The
fact, however, that it was pretty
well general in all sections except
the south ought to be a warning
to democratic leaders that the vot
ers of the nation are watching, and
have not been altogether pleased
with the way things have been
going in the last two years.
Nashville, Tenn., Banner—(Ind.

against the policies and procedure
of the president, already formu
lated and fow being proposed, was
too positive to be misunderstood.

it looks to the struggle of 1940.

Mobile, Ala., Register (Ind.
Dem.)—The democratic adminis
tration, warned by republic^
gains, may modify to some extent
new dealism and take a more con
ciliatory tone toward those who
oppose many of its drastic methods.
On the other hand, the demo
crats will be enormously encour
aged that 1940 will bring to them
another four years of power.
