On the basis of actual votes cast, Mr. Mason said, a president nearly always is elected by one-third of the total qualified voters, and. a congressman in off-year elections usually is elected by less than 20 per cent of the total qualified voters of his district.

"The C. I. O. Political Action Committee," Mr. Mason said, "will get out every one of its qualified voters in 1946.

The left-wingers are well organized and extremely active. "Citizens who want to save the American form of government and the private enterprise system must go to the polls and cast their votes this year, if they would prevent the election being won by a militant minority."

There will be contests for 35 Senate seats, 34 governorships and all 435 seats in the House of Representatives.

Supervising the transmission of the first special picture for Gannett newspapers, Governor Dewey forecast that the new service "will be of great benefit to the people of the state." "I extend my congratulations and best wishes on the success of the new venture," he said. The Governor demonstrated keen interest in the operation of the service as it was explained by Arthur Kelly, new state bureau manager, and Grant Anderson, Acme traffic chief, of Cleveland. "It is a marvelous device," the Governor said as he peered into the sending machine and studied the mechanics involved.

The Republicans must win 27 more seats in the House to obtain 218 members which would-be a bare majority of one. Some loss of Democratic seats is to be expected in an ofT year and without the political appeal of the late Franklin D. Roosevelt playing over the voters. There is a political saying that the party which wins control of the House in an off-year will win the White House two years later. Experience proves the prediction to be substantially sound.
