Washington, June 31. ? With
Congress apparently on the verge
of adjournment, and a hot cam
paign ahead for all of the Repre
sentatives and a third of the Sena
tors, political Washington is pay
ing much more attention now to
the outlook for the Fall elections
than it is to such matters as the
wages-and-hours bill or the Pre
sident's efforts to put over his Re
organization plan.
The big question which next
Fall's elections will decide is whe
ther the trend of sentiment among
the voters of the nation is away
from the dominant Democratic
party, and, if such a trend to the
Republican party is not clearly
shown, whether the trend inside
of the Democratic party is away
from the present Administration
and the New Deal, or otherwise.
Straws In Tlic Wind
So at both ends of Pennsylvania
Avenue, the Executive end which
centers at the White House, and
the Legislative end on Capitol Hill
the soothsayers and star-gazers
are tossing straws into the air to
determine which way the political
wind is blowing.
The first straw so tossed blew,
as feVCTy observer agreed, directly
toward the White House. That was
the clean-cut New Deal victory of
Senator Pepper in Florida. So far
as the trend inside the Democratic
party is concerned, that was ac
cepted by many Democrats as suf
ficient evidence that Democratic
voters are still overwhelmingly
New Dealers.
But then came t'he Pennsylvania
primaries. and the indications
from that straw were by no means
so clear-cut. Only one of the Demo
cratic candidates who had the
blessing of the Administration
was nominated.
Governor Earle's victory, run
ning for the Senatorial nomina
tion, was conceded in advance by
almost everybody, not so much be
cause he had been a consistent
supporter of Mr. Roosevelt from
the beginning but because the
candidates who opposed him in the
primaries were men in whom the
voters of their own party had little
confidence.
Pennsylvania Results
The victory in Pennsylvania of
t lie Anti-Ngj?? Deal Democratic
candidate for Governor Charles A.
Jones, over Lieut-Governor Ken
nedy. secretary-treasurer of the
United Mine Workers of America,
was not only a straw revealing a
Democratic current in a different
direction from the way the wind
blew in Florida, but it was a de
finite and severe set-back to the
political ambitions of John L.
Lewis, chairman of the C.I.O.
Lewis had put all the strength ?
of his labor organization behind
Mr. Kennedy. Mr. Jones' victory
over the combined efforts of Mr.
Lewis and of Chairman Farley of
the Democratic National Commit
tee is regarded here as a pretty
definite indication that the trend
in the great industrial states of
the north is at least' toward conr
servatism, if not distinctly toward
Republicanism.
Mr. Lewis had also put his in
fluence in the Republican prim
aries behind the veteran former
Governor Gifford Pinchot, who
made a very poor showing indeed
against Judge Arthur H. James
for the Republican nomination for
Governor.
That, and the size of the Repub
lican primary vote, over 135.000
more than the Democrats polled
for all their candidates, have start
ed Washington to talking serious
ly of the possible recapture of
Pennsylvania hy their party next
November, and have definitely
strengthened the conviction that
the Republicans are certain to gain
a large number of Congressional
seats.
Even New Deal enthusiasts are
now conceding that there will be
at least 35 more Republican mem
bers .in the lower house of the
next Congress than in the present
one. That may safely be regarded
as the minimum shift. Estimates
of experienced political observers
run all the way from 35 more Re
publicans to 110. The average of
several polls of expert opinion is
"^80.
, That would not give a Republi
can majority, and "even staunch
Republicans express doubts whe
ther a majority would be desirable
with a Senate still overwhelming
ly Democratic and a Democratic
Administration in the White
House. Such a condition has ob
tained in the past, with the result
of a complete deadlock in all im
portant matters of legislation.
1804 Situation Recalled
The situation is likened here to
that which obtained in 1930, when
the Democrats gained 54 seats,
giving them a majority of the
House, with a Republican Presi- j

deni^and Seimfe still in office.
Every constructive effort looking
toward recovery wus effectively
blocked by the House.
Many shrewd onlookers com
pare the present political situation
to that of 1894. Mr. Cleveland was
serving his second term as Presi
dent!. His own Democratic Party
was split between the Conserva
tive faction bent upon preserving
tlie gold standard aild bringing
back recovery from the panic of
1893 by encouraging industry, and
the radical Rree Silver advocates.
In the Congressional election of
that- year the Republicans gained
120 seats, an4 two years later
elected President McKinley and a
Republican Congress.
Cutting across all party lines
this year, however, is the new
spending program which the Pre
sident proposed and which Con
gress has accepted. That t'he dis
tribution of several billions of
fresh funds for relief and public
works will operate as a powerful
influence for the election of Demo
crats over Republicans in scores
of Congress districts is taken for
granted here.
How far it will be influential in
the nomination of thick-and-thin
New Dealers over the conservative
Democrats is a question to which
an affirmative answer is not quite
sucli a foregone conclusion, since
the Florida New Deal victory was
about the only criterion to go by.
The newly made citizen asked
what we meant in America by the
"three R's." a wag told him that
these three R's ran all through
life:
At 25 its Romance,
At 45 its Rent,
At 65 its Rheumatism.

MEN who grow fine tobaccos? who jell them ?

they say, "Camels buy our finest grades." So, if you
