Test of Strength
Providence, Aug. 7. Charles Frisk, the Republican candidate, has apparently defeated Antonio Prince, Democrat in special election here.
#
This is considered to be the first test of the strength of the New Deal since the Supreme Court's ruling that the National Recovery Administration was un- constitutional, and when Presid- ent Roosevelt prophesied a change in the Constitution.
The result of this election regarded as very important, due
to the fact that the Issue WAS sharply drawn upon premises which will probably dominate the 1938 national campaigns of both parties.
The campaigns will include the Work Relief programme and the Utility holding companies "death sentence."
