week.

that circumstance, it might be bent

utive would hasten to abandon leg-

the whole was healthful, said the
visiting congressman, who was not
surprised at the outcome nor un-
duly disappointed because of gains
of the minority party. Friends of
the administration are In the ma-
jority and doubtless will support
the Roosevelt program In-the main,
he suid. By having a larger oppo
sition group, legislation will be
more thoroughly debated and con
sldered and thereby the country
and congress will have the oppor
tunity to evaluate the weak points1
and correct them, he said, The op-
