New Sectional Trends Spirits of Republicans Rise Not Optimistic About Utah By WILL KENNEDY Exclusive to The Tribune WASHINGTON Oct 26 The most Important congressional campaign In history has started more than thirteen months In advance of the election The Republicans are making an unprecedented offensive along all battlefronts for two reasons First they realize it is or for them to recapture house seats from the Democrats which will eventually give the control They feel that they have hit rock bottom and sink any farther Second they are confident they are going to win back house seats in large numbers that the awing Against the new deal la definite and growing that Ihe tidsmnd the wind and public dissatisfaction are with them for 1936 instead of against them as in 1930 1932 and 1931 All Along Line So the fight Is going to be made along the even in the erstwhile which is not now considered Impregnable The Republicans have hopes of picking up a few seats in Florida and North Carolina and there are rumblings too about prospects Jn Georgia In many states districts that previously have been admittedly Democratic are to witness an aggressive drive In -some states redistricting has given grounds for doubt as to the political complexion of certain districts There is also a new sectional sentiment that means much in the cam-palgiu-Western-states traditionally Republican have had a taste of hog money dam construction and irri4 gation funds wheat and corn and other federal subsidies and so are more inclined than normally to listen to Democratic blandishments The Democritic spellbinders will be courting votes in the west On the other hand New England and other Industrial centers have suffered through the new deal the Republicans say These states have felt oppressed by the processing tax and have resented the encouragement to factories to move south and west Eastern voters are paying heavier costs of living and increasing taxes The Republicans will woo the east as never before East Reported Turning The Republicans have received their greatest encouragement from the Atlantic eeaboayu including the New England states which leaders say promise to return practically solid delegations to the Republican fold and from such Industrial states as Ohio and Michigan Probably the hardest battles will be fought in the midcontinent Indiana Illinois Iowa Kansas and Nebraska In some border states such as Maryland Kentucky Missouri and Oklahoma there are districts which were held previously by Republicans although they have a Democratic background and the Republican campaigners hope to pick up some of these In California It la all an open question with so many groups of objectors and radicalism all fighting each but the Republicansbelieve they will garner several seats Big Republican gains are expected In the stateawhere the most disheartening losses were experienced in 1932 and Ohio Illinois Indiana and Missouri In the states where there are members-at-large such as Ohio two Illinois two New York two and Connecticut one the Republican calculators feel they have a good chance to gather them all in depending on the in each state They are
