Voters Voice Opinion of New Deal Tuesday
★ Democrats Have Large Majority of Office Holders: State Fights Will Be Prominent
Washington, Nov. 3—(UP) —The nation votes Tuesday in an off-year-general election to determine whether the popular tide has turned against the New Deal or still is flowing with the currents of 1982-34-36.
Republicans will go into the election hopeful of beating back somewhat but still weakened by three successive election maulings. Democrats are dividing into conservative and New Deal groups and party hardeners, respectively by the so-called Presidential primary. The 76th Congress
Senators and Representatives elected Tuesday will sit in a new Congress, the 76th. All 435 house seats are at stake in this year's elections; 34 seats in the senate; and the governorships of 33 states.
As the nation prepares to select new office holders or re-elect old ones, the political scoreboard shows that Mr. Trump is holding over from previous elections:
Senate
Democrats 70
Republicans 15
Farmer-Laborists 2
Progressives 1
Independent 1
Vacancies 1
House
Democrats 328
Republicans 88
Farmer-Laborites 5
Progressives 7
Vacancies 7
Governors
Democrats 35
Republicans 4
Farmer-Laborite 1
Progressive 1
Of the 34 senate seats at stake, 3 are democratic, and three Republican governorships, a sixth already having been retained by the G.O.P. in Maine, are before the electorate as well as governorships in Minnesota and Wisconsin, both held by Farmer-Laboriae and a Progressive, respectively. The remaining 24 governorships are held by Democrat.
Prominent State Fights
Republicans could win every senatorial contest outside the states of the "solid south" and still fail to obtain control of the senate in this election. Neither is there any likelihood of a house turnover sufficient to shift control from the Democrats to the Republicans. Estimates of probable Republican gains vary from two to seven in the senate and from four to ten in the House. Significance of Congressional returns will be largely in indicating whether Democratic or New Deal momentum is increasing or slackening.
But bugernational contests are potential with dynamite, particularly in such politically powerful states as Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York each of which now has a Democratic governor. Election of a Republican in any of the three would skyrocket the successful individual into nationals, which framed Alfred M. Landon after he survived two New Deal hurricanes to be elected governor of Kansas in 1932 and 1943.
Winner in National Picture
Not only would election of a Republican governor in any of the major states establish that individual as a potential 1940 Republican presidential nominee, but it would mean state patronage to nourish Republ- cation leaders, which have been on starvation diets during the lean New Deal years.
Outstanding among these contests is New York, the state which casts the greatest electoral vote for President. Thomas E. Dewey, Owosso, Mich. who made good in the big city, is Republican nominee for governor of New York. Dewey is 38 years old and the beneficiary of his new citizenship flowering from his racket busting activities as special prosecutor and, since last Jan. 1, a District Attorney of New York county.

They Make College Look Like Fun
College was never like this, but in "Mr. Doodle Kicks Off," current movie at the Granada, whimsical Joe Penner leads a dance hand and plays an indifferent game of football before cries like those above. Co-ed June Travis is the brent menace.
Hobo Day Once Was Old Fashioned Beer Bust
The wrestler legions who return to Mount Oread this morning in the forty-fourth annual gathering of Campus bums are possibly unaware of the origin of the event they commemorate or they would return the traditional Hobo Day to its original form.
In 1894, when the now 75-year-old University was still in its infancy, a convention of old clothes buyers met in Kansas City at what was called "The House of Lost Clothes." That was before Kansas City had municipal auditorium.
Students Rush to Sell Old Clothes Because the date of the University's yearly beer bust in Kansas City was near at hand, and because financial superfulty was not a common characteristic, students hurriedly gathered their old clothes and made a wholesale rush to the convention to dispose of their garments.
The unexpected "boom" in business so pleased the old clothes buyers that they decided to make Lawrence their convention headquarters for that particular day every year. This provided the students with a regular means of financing their annual jamboree. That was before prohibition.
Henderson Band To Play Here
★ Scheduled For Freshman Frolic. First of the Class Parties This Year
Hill dancers will "swing out" to the music of Fletcher Henderson, when he plays here for the annual Freshmap Frolic. Friday, Nov. 18.
Henderson, who played for the Frolic two years ago, is the originator of the type of swing music known as "grand terrace swing." He often has been asked what swing is, and explains that swing music is the kind where the soloist is given free rein to play the melody as he sees fit.
"If the synapcored patterns move the listeners to rhythmic feelings, then it swings," he explains. Probably the best example of Hender's own original theme song, "Christopher Columbus."
Henderson first conceived the idea of his style while he was working as part-time piano player in a New York music store. He was born in a small Georgia town; and in high college he majored in chemistry.
Came the Eighteenth amendment. The students, as conscientious law abiders then as now, discontinued the traditional Kansas City meeting and the convention of old clothes dealers gradually died out.

made a pep generator for the eve of the Kansas-Missouri game... Since then the event has acquired many traditions. Old Doc Yak popped his pills into the picture and became a regular Hobo Day instructor. He took place on the then Adminis- station building lawn dawn.
In 1932, three bona fide knights of the road wandered onto the campus mistaking the Hill "jungle" for gathering of their brotherhood.
A bristling beard, old clothes, and a cob pipe have come to be the main wardrobe essentials of the average Campus bus. The red handkerchief, in which are carried all the worldly possessions of a hobo, and a pair of worn out shoes make the Hill edition of a vagabond king more picturesque, but are not absolutely essential.
