"The Democrats elected Governor Lehman and Senators Wagner and Mead in -New York, but lost the state assembly. , '.TSe President's, friend and co worker, Governor Frank Murphy, of Michigan, was defeated by for me'r1' governor Frank D.' Fitzgerald, and the Republicans, also -won, gub ernatorial .and congressional prizes ; in .. Colorado, Connecticut, . Idaho, : Kansas, New Hampshire New Jer sey, Massachusetts,'.. Minnesota, Michigan, . Ohio, ..Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Ver ;lnortt,. tVjscohsin and Wyoming. - California however, elected a ; Democratic governor " for the first Ttime in 44 years,', and also elected a.;5; Democratic senator Sheridan Eltowrtey, but the Republicans gain - ed two congressmen in that state.
