Wu&hlkigton State I
OLYMPIA, Wash. (JP)—-Russell
V. Mack, Republican, ranked to
day as the newest addition to the
Congress of the United States and
Charles Savage, Democrat who
had the backing of Henry Wal
lace, remained an ex-Congress
man after Saturday’s special elec
tion gave the G.O.P. and the Ho
quiam publisher the victory by
1,500 votes.
Mack said he viewed his elec
tion as a decision by the people of
Washington’s Third District to
stand “solidly back of our nation’s
bi-partisan policy.” He succeeds
the late Fred Norman, the Repub
lican who defeated Savage by
7,000 votes in the 1946 election.
The loser accused the Republi
cans of resorting to “smear tactics
to confuse the voters” during the
election in which the Wallace
stand was played prominently by
both parties. He added, however,
that the vote indicated a trend
“away from the backward Repub
lican program.”
In the primary election which
sent the two into the finals the
Democratic vote was 29.000 and
the Reoublican vote 17.000, Sav
age polling 17.000 and Mack 9.000.
In Saturday’s general eleet’on
Mack polled an unofficial 32,449
to Savage’s 30,939. with 573 of the
district’s 607 precincts reported.
Savage conceded four hours after
the polls closed.
The off-season election, watched
nationally for its possible indica
tion of a trend, brought from
House Democratic leader McCor

gain for the party because the
margin of Republican victory was
less than in 1946.
“It is fair to assume,” MrCor
mack added, “that Mr. Savage
had some people voting against
him, because of extraneous issues,
who would have voted for an
other Democrat.”
Chairman Carroll Reece of the
Republican National Committee
said in Milwaukee the Mack tri
umph “repudiates the Democratic
party of Washington and its radi
cal support.”
Mack, who is 55 years old and
a veteran of the first world war,
rolled up his biggest margin in
agricultural Lewis county, where
Democratic county chairman
James Sareault said*'he was “op
posed to the ideologies and politi
cal philosophies for which he
stands.”
Savage carried five of the dis
trict’s nine counties, including the
home counties of Savage and
Mack.

Democratic Defeat
In Mack Victory
NEWARK, N. J. (IP) — Henry
Wallace said today it was “hardly
true” that the victory of Russell
V. Mack, Washington Republican,
over a “progressive Democrat”
backed by the former vice presi
dent was a victory for the Truman
foreign policy.
In New Jersey for an all-day
tour and speeches under auspices
of the New Jersey Independent
Citizens League, Wallace said at
a newsconference that “it was a
mistake to say that former repre
sentative Charles R. Savage was
my candidate.”
Foreign policy, added Wallace,
was not an issue in the Washing
ton campaign. The former vice
president said Savage was a can
didate of the Democratic adminis
tration, which put money into his
campaign.
“ “Some members of the adminis
tration felt it was inadvisable for
