BALLOT-BOX TEST.
ROOSEVELT N.R.A. POLICY. A nationwide ballot-box test of the “new deal” started in tlie United States with Illinois voters lining up for the first primaries of the “off” year. The elections inaugurated activities that in the next seven months will reach into every State. November will finish the election of 35 senators and about the same number of Governors and the entire House of Representatives.
Republicans are voicing openly the hope that tho usual off-year tide will restore to them many offices lost in the Roosevelt landslide in 1932. Democrats predict that gains in the Senate will offset the immaterial loss of seats in tlie House. Tlie Speaker of the House of Representatives, Air Henry T. Rainey, brought the White House angle strongly into the picture when he challenged the unfriendly financial interests in New York, which were planning to donate heavily to tlie Republicans in an effort to defeat him because of his stand for Air Roosevelt’s measures.
