Dewey, Republican, to a smashing victory for the New York Governorship and developed close races all over the country. At midnight (1 a.m. A.D.'l‘.), the Democrats had elect.- ed nine Senators which, added to 41 holdovers, gave them a total of 50. The Republicans had elected one, with 20 boldovcrs. Forty-nine is a majority. On the House side, the Democrats had elected 109 and the Republicans, 30. A majority is 218. Behind these figures, however, was a clear Repub- lican trend, particularly among candidates for state gov- ernorships, but at. midnight it was still impossible to ass- ess its true strength. Dewey, the former Manhattan racket-buster, en- hanced his chances as Republican candidate for the pres- idency in 1944 when he defeated John J. Bennett, the Dem- ocratic nominee for Governor of New York, President Rcosevclfs home state. Polling a huge up-state vote and holding Bennett, who had been en- dorsed by President Roosevelt, to narrow margins in New York City, Dewey became the first Republican Governor of New York in 20 years.
