(!. O.P. LOOKS' 10 SHIPSTEAO OPTIMISTICALLY Appears Farm-Laborite May Hold Balance in Senate. Times Washington Rurenw, 13Z2 New York Avenue WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—On Henrik Shipstead, Farmer-Labor Senator from Minnesota/regular Republicans have never wasted love. Lately, however, things have changed.’ Never has the lumbering Scandinavian giant been greeted more warmly along the Capitol corridors than these last few days. Never has his unusual first name been made to sound so much like a sociable, indigenous “Henry.” Ever since possibility developed that a Democrat might miraculously win the special Maine senatorial election today it has become increasingly plain that, should that Republican catostrophe happen, Shipstead was due among the regulars to become almost a popular fellow. * A Democratic victory in Maine today would elevate Shipstead theoretically to a dominant position in the United States Senate. The Senate Democrats would have fortyeight votes in the Seventieth Congress and the Republicans only for-ty-seven. Shipstead, the sole Farmer-Laborite, would hold the balance of power. The Republicans would have to win him over in order to vote the Democrats to a tie. In a tie Vice President Dawes would cast a party vote and the G. O. P. would, by a margain of one, retain Senate control. Even should a Republican be elected in Maine today, Shipstead would still hold some balance of power. There is always a chance that an election contest will eventually send a Democrat instead of a Republican to the Senate from Pennsylvania or Illinois. Should the Democras win either of these seats Shipstead would again hold the deciding vote. Theoretically, Shipstead is sitting pretty. Practically, he is no better off than when he arrived in Washington three years ago. It is amusing to imagine the regular Republicans buddying up to a champion of farmers and laborers, who speaks with a Scandinavian accent, but politically the racket would not mean anything. Real political power would be given to Shipstead only if the words “Republican” and “Democrat” were actually descriptive of political viewpoints. They are not. There are good Republicans on the Democratic side of the Senate aisle and good Democrats on the other. To all intents and purposes, Senator Joe Robinson. Democratic floor leader, is less a Jeffersonian Democrat than Senator George W. Morris, Nebraska, Republican. It has even been said that out of the forty-seven Democrats, so called, in the Senate, the rambunctious Jim Reed of Missouri alone would b understood by. Thomas Jefferson—apd even here the latter would be puzzled at times. So far as partisan control of the Senate goes, Shipstead holds a dominant position. regular Republicans, to keep their committee chairmanships, many grant him a few favors, may make unimportant compromises. When the next Senate starts voting on vital issues,
