The 2nd California republican In 1942, in an election in which no democrat went democratic last In that under the peculiar provisions of California there were two republican candidates and their combined vote was 60% although the democrat This is the only district in which the democrats gained a In 1942, of there was no presidential election and it may be of interest to compare the result the special elections with those in 1940. As against 1940, the special election in the 6th Missouri district showed a republican gain of 129?-; tho second a republican gain of 14%; the 4th a gain of 23%; the 2nd a gain of 18%; the 17th 21%; the 23rd 4%; the 32nd New 3%; the 21st New 24%; 1st 14%; 2nd a republican Tain of 8%. In the 2nd although the GOP lost 4%, as against 2 years they gained 8%, as against 4 years Although Mr. Roosevelt generally runs stronger than New Deal Congressmen do in off year these last figures indicate than even as against 1940, when Roosevelt there has been a strong republican percentage gain in every district except the 17th where it fell eff although the district went strongly Having ventured to predict heavy republican gains early in. 1942 which were justified by the event the Gallup I intend shortly to attempt to forecast Mr. Roosevelt's chimes next if he decides run for a fourth Forecasting this years is especially hazardous because something might happen a week before the election which would make the presidential a landslide one way or the As of I express the simple opinion that the GOP will have a hard but not impossible battle to defeat Mr. Roosevelt although it seems reasonably that it will control the House of make gains in the and gains everywhere in ] local and state j Although some commentators j express the view that it is un- j fortunate that we must have tions in time of I think a more stable peace can be written by whatever administration is in power after as a result of ascertaining the will of the American people next Nor do I think an election will weaken the war On the we will fight better when it is of who is elected FOREIGN ENTANGLEMENTS BY L.
