ON THE POLITICAL FRONT
By Byron Price
(Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press. Wn„ D. C.)
Special measures to buttress the Democratic tick
et in New York and Michigan serve as a reminder that
state as well as national politics is having a field dav (
in 1936.
Thirty-six of the 48 states choose governors. Elec- ;
tions to state legislatures and to local office are legion. (
One-third of the states will vote for United States sen- j
ator, and a representative in congress is to be selected ;
in every congressional district. ]
While, for understandable reasons, popular inter- j
est focuses chiefly on the presidential campaign, there
are reasons why the politicians are deeply interested ;
also in all classes of local political battles.
Because the national house of representatives is i
the point of origin of “money” bills—measures dealing
with taxation and spending—it is a matter of more than
ordinary interest just now whether the nominee who is l
elected President shall have a house of his own poli- <
tical faith. ,
An extraordinary situation also exists from the ;
Democratic viewpoint, in the purely state elections.
Many of the Roosevelt policies depend on a measure ]
of state cooperation. Naturally the Democratic national
administration is interested in having as many Demo
cratic state administrations as possible.
Strengthening The Party
No one doubts, of course, that the presidential cam (
paign was the thing foremost in the minds of the Roose- 1
velt managers when they persuaded Governor Leh- :
mann to run again in New York, and Frank Murphy to
become a candidate for governor in Michigan.
There was no secret that the Roosevelt men felt
that the names of Lehmann and Murphy on the tick
et would help to attract strength to the Democratic
emblem, and that the President’s chances wrnuld bene
fit thereby.
But unquestionably, less-talked-of considerations
also entered into the picture. One of them was the de
sirability of having Democrats in as governors of im
portant states should Mr. Roosevelt be reelected. An
other was the hope that Lehmann and Murphy would

help to pull through some additional Democratic can
didates for congress.
Besides all this, there was the purely party view.
No party which hopes to remain in power at Washing
ton can afford to neglect the constant building up of its
organizations. Even in national defeat, the survival of
strong state organizations is an insurance of hope for
the future.
There can be no question that, correctly or not, the
national Democratic leaders believed that Lehmann in
New York and Murphy in Michigan offered the best
possibilities for solidifying party strength in their re
spective states.
Senate Stays Democratic
For special reasons, New York and Michigan fur
nish the most prominent examples of this sort of politi
cal dovetailing. One lesser instance is Nebraska, where
unusual measures have been taken to induce George
W. Norris to stand for reelection to the senate.
By and large, however, the senatorial situation will
igure less in the 1936 campaign than it usually does in
presidential years. The explanation is that the Repub
icans have no outside hope of capturing a senate maj
prity.
Only one-third of the senators come up at a time,
md the Democratic preponderance among the hold
)vers is so great that even if every Republican senator
al candidate running this year were elected, the sen
ite would remain Democratic. The best Republican
nanagers can do is whittle down the opposition as
nuch as possible as a help in future years.
It is with respect to the house and the governors,
iside from the presidential contest itself, that the cam
paigning will be heavies. And especially with respect
o the house.

rom a “nickel for a cup of coffee” to “a dime for a loaf
>f bread,” but it’s a bargain—they already have the
;rust.
