POLITICAL BLOC IS DEVELOPED ~ BY RECENT BVENTS Influx of Liberals to Coast States Seen as Reason by Most Commentators By BYRON PRICE Chief of Bureau, the Associated. Press, . Washington Is a “far west” bloc of states form- ing in 1936 to take its place alongside the other grand divisions of American Politics—the south, the east, the mid- west, the border, and the west? Some ranking Democratic strategists profess to think so. When they talk privately, they rank the far west right behind the solid south as the most hopeful Democratic territory this year. They include as a minimum Califor- nia, Oregon and Washington, with 35 electoral votes. Some of them add Montana, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Ari- zona and New Mexico, raising the total to 56. The Republicans concede none of these states, although there are some highly placed in Republican councils who will go so far as to agree that Demooratic chances are better in this Pacific territory than in some other places, The reasons for this involve a va- riety of issues. For one thing, the west coast has become # haven for liberal-| wing strength previously controlled by |the Republican ticket might conceiv- ism of numerous brands, more or less setting it apart. Naturally, too, there is a certain far western community of interest on such subjects as mining and reclamation. Perhaps a real change is taking place. It has always seemed inconsis- tent to lump together all of that vast territory west of the Mississippi as one political entity, yet that is the way it has voted in most past elec- tions, we 8 Olson Death a Factor: The Democratic prognosticators also claim an exception in Wisconsin, be- cause of the LaFollette influence, and they are counting heavily on the Roosevelt farm policies, plus the home vote-gathering- ability of Secretary Wallace, to swing Iowa.

White, Jr., for a second term over Goy. Louis Brann, The record balloting in the tradi- tionally Republican state also saw the party's candidates for governor and three U. S. representatives win by much larger margins, The Republican victory, which ob- Servers studied closely for possible portents in the nationwide November poll, ousted the Democrats from four years of state control. Democrats had held two of the congressional posts besides the governorship. Senator White, a Republican vet- eran of 20 years service in Washing- ton, piled up a sufficient lead in the rural districts and small towns to overturn Brann's margin in 12 of the | State's 205 municipalities.

This report circulated as government departments engaged in a last-minute} tush to file estimates for the 1938 fiscal year with Daniel W. Bell, acting director of the budget bureau. Deadline for filing estimates for the 12 months beginning next July 1, was) set for Tuesday, with hearings open- ing Sept. 21. In a call for estimates to the heads ot government departments and agen- cies, Bell urged that “every possible effort” be made to bring demands for 1938 below appropriations for the cur- rent fiscal period. Officials said, however, that the na- tional defense estimate would rise above the $920,000,000 outlay projected | in the current year because more | money will be necessary to carry on a program of expansion already under way.
