NEW YORK, Nov. 3.
The biennial election, at which the full House, of Representatives of 452 members, excluding three already elected, and 37 senators, the latter including five vacancies, will be elected, as well as a large number of State Governors, is expected to resolve itself into a test of the new deal next Tuesday.
Successful use already has been made of the slogan, ‘‘Stand by the President.” During 75 years, the average losses of the party in power have been almost 50 seats in the House of Representatives, but this is not expected to occur this week.
Opponents of the Roosevelt Administration declare that the Congressional campaign lias been turning wholly .on the question of whether the army of voters receiving subsidies and direct doles will register their gratitude at the polls, with other national issues completely overshadowed.
