By Kenneth Finlc, Director

PRINCETON, N. J. ? How
would the two major political
parties stand in the nation if U.
S. citizens were vothig for Con
gressmen today instead of In No
vember. 19954 ? less than six
weeks from now?
By a margin of six per cent, a
cross-section of the nation's vo
ters Interviewed by United States
PoU staff reporters say that U
they were voting for Congress
men {House of Representatives)
today they would favor the dem
ocratic rather than the Republi
can Party.
Here are, the figures that show
present day Republican - Demo
cratic strength across the nation:
"It the elections for Congress
were 'being held today, which
party would you like to Ree win
in this state ? the Republican
or the Democratic?"
The following table ghows the
results nationally, among those
who had an opinion on the above
question, or who, If ? undeclaej,
stated toward which party they
"leahed":
; Democratic 53%
Republican 47%
Fifteen weeks ago, the vote on
the same question was Democra
tic 51.5%; Republican 48.5%- ?
Today's findings thus repre
sent a 1.5 percent gain for the
from Mr. Goforth at his hom?
604 W. Mountain St., or by tele
phoning 159-W. .
Dr. D. J. Whitenur, a member
of the faculty of the history de
partment of the college, will
make the principal address.
The organization, Mr. Goforth
added, will include alumni of the
college in Polk, Rutherford, Gas
ton, and Cleveland counties.
Democrats and a 1.5 percent loss
for the GOP since early June.
A clearer picture of the situa
tion can be had by examining
the vote separately in the tradi
tionally Democratic South on the
one hand and In the areas out
side the South on the other.
South Only
Rep. Dem.
1950 Election ... "20% 80
1952 Election ........ 20% , 80
TODAY 20% 80
And here. Is the vote outride
the South since 1950;
Outside The South -
' . Rep. Dem.
1950 Election . V 53% 47
1952 Election . , 55% 45
TODAY 50% 50
From the above, it can be seen
that the big job facing the GOP
in this year's Congressional Elec
tions ? the one that It faces In
every Congressional Election ?
is that the Democrats can always
count on a solid block of Con
gressional seats from the South;
(In the past five Congressional
elections, the Democrats have
never lost more than 7 Congres
sional seats to the Republicans
In the South and have always
won at least 115 seats).
And today's findings give no in
cation that the South will be dif
ferent this year. .
This means the Democrats
start with more than one-half of
the 218 seats that they need to re
gain control of thte House and
that they need to pick up only
one-third of the 313 seats outsld?
the South to win.
Another Important fact to be
kept In mind is that only once
during the 20th Century has the
party in power Increased its lead
In an off-year election. That was
In 1934, when the Democrats gain
ed 9 seats.
It must, also be understood that
today's findings reflect sentiment
for the nation as a whole. They
cannot be applied to any single
Congressional district.
Finally. It should also be Wept
In mind that today's findings re
flect sentiment pearly six weeks
In advance of the elections, and
that much - can happen between
now and November.
