With Senators and Representatives and al most everybody else starting on long deferred .acations the observers in Washingi 011 are surveying the seen*' and utteriiig prophecies with more ap parent confidence than for the past ?six months. Both the President 's sup porters and his opjKMM-uts are in sub stantial agreement oi> sevcraal points. Everybody recognizes now tliat th?* fundamental i-.suo of the f>olitic:tl .?anipaigii of 1936 will be whether the ?iat ion o &o forward along the linen of social ' reform, advocated by the President, or call a halt to t lie effoi I of the Federal Cioverninent <0 l'urw lain in this new field. All observer agree that there has as yet been no general lest at the polls of public sentiment on tlic major phases of tii-' President's social reform program. All agree, likewise, that the leadership of the Democratic Party, as mpre sented both jn the Senate and the ilouse, is far from being completely "sold" on 'the reform program, al though the 74th Congress, so far has taken its orders from the White House almost as completely as did its prcd eeessor. Two major acts of this first session o? l lie 74th Congress stand out 3* embodying the New Deal principle of Federal res|>onsibility for social wel fare. They are Social Security Aet, providing for old-age aiud unemploy iilHit pensions, and the Works R<vlicl", Act, with i'-te appropiation of $4,880 000,000 of Federal funds to enable tlx* National fiovcrninemt to give employ ment on public works to the nation's unemployed. The full effect of these measuesr.-s is not yet apparent, but the principle behind them is clearly de fined. Mr. Roosevelt's supporters are insisting ihat that principle must be tKe major issue of the 1936 campaign even if ft should be necessary to amend the Federal Constitution to es tablish the Government's right to oc cupy this field. The Administration's augurs aia confident that on thalt clear-cut issue of soeiat reform Mr. Roosevelt can be re-el?i?ted while the Republican soothsayers are equally confident that he can lie beaten on any such plat form. Looking a-head poiticalfy, one fore - cast can 'M! made without fear of con tradiction. That is that, except for the aeeide.it of death, the upper Hou.se of the 75th Congress, to be elected in 1936, wifl nave a Democratic majority, no matter which party wins the Pres idency. For then: are now in the Sen ate 40 Democrats whose terms of of fice do not expire until 3939 or 1941. That is one more than a majority of the entire Senate. So that even with a Republican President amd a Republi can House of Representatives, a Re publican Administration taking office bi January 1937, woufd fiid itself handicapped from the start. The possibility of electing a Re publican Congress in 1936 is as yet merely a plaything for the statistic dians, who have figured out that about 180 o"f the present Democratic members were elected by majorities of 3000 or less, ^o that a change of 150;') votes per district would alter the cu rt ire complexion of Congress. To con trol the House the Republicans must effect 116 members in additim to 102 seats which they "now hold. Interest in Republican Presidential possibilities has been stimulated b yt the ]?>ll of Republieos leaders, mn ducted bv Robert H. Lucas, who ha* Ix-en active in Republican National Committee affairs for years. To the surprise of most observers, Senator Horah of Idaho is far and away thu firat choice of those who have been heard from, out of 2,600 Republican Com. Chan-men with Frank Knox a poor set-mid, Governor Lowden of Illinois, Senator Vandenbu rg of Michiga.i ami Herbert Hoover trail ing in the order named. Senator Bo rah has not only been the leading choice from the beginning, but ha> in creased his lead with each freab hatch of returns. In the meantime, however, Mr. Hoover, is the latest and onffy living cx-presid"nt, remains, as one of his friends renia rked recently, the oirfy Republican who can always make th? frost page whenever he says any tiring. y
