Early press readings show likely Democratic state ticket defeated and a Republican legislature on joint ballot. Stone tipped to win U S Senate race over Folk by 15 000 to 20 000 votes. Missouri might then have two Republican senators if the legislature stays Republican. Senate balance unlikely to be entirely Republican, serving as a check on policy. Bryan carried the state.
