Senate -
either to the left or the right. For every liberal Democrat un-
seated by a conservative Republican, there was a case of ex-
actly the opposite.
But some of the more clearly identifiable Senate voting
blocs will be getting some new blood: The "new right"
group, led in the past two Congresses by Republicans such
as Jesse A. Helms of North Carolina and James A. McClure
of Idaho, will be getting a possible new leader in Orrin G.
Hatch (R Utah), and may also embrace Republicans
Malcolm Wallop of Wyoming and Schmitt of New Mexico.
Hatch will be one of the most intriguing new figures in
the Senate. A trial lawyer with a successful practice, he
never ran for office until this year. He filed for the Senate on
the last possible day, qualified for the primary at the state's
GOP convention and won the primary easily with the help
of Ronald Reagan.
Hatch proved to be a born campaigner, with unusual
stage presence and oratorical skill. He led Moss from the
day after the primary, and he never lost the lead. Conser-
vative interest groups are already counting on him as a
spokesman for the right wing in the 95th Congress, and
some are even talking about him as a possible presidential
candidate in 1980.
The political inexperience of Hatch, Hayakawa and
Schmitt set them apart from most of the other Repub-
licans who will be coming to the Senate for the first
time in 1977. John H. Chafee of Rhode Island was governor
of his state for six years; Richard G. Lugar of Indiana was
mayor of Indianapolis for eight; John C. Danforth of
Missouri has been that state's attorney general since 1969;
H. John Heinz III of Pennsylvania is a three-term member
of the U.S. House.
The backgrounds of these men make Republicans op-
timistic that they have an unusual crop of newcomers com-
ing in, and that the class of 1976 will quickly have an in-
fluence.beyond its junior status.
Strange Turns
Whatever their political skills however, it took some
strange turns of fortune for some of them to be elected.
Danforth began planning for his 1976 Senate campaign
shortly after he narrowly missed in 1970 against Democrat
Stuart Symington, who is now retiring. But he would have
almost certainly been the underdog against Jerry Litton, the
runaway winner of the Democratic primary. Litton died in
an airplane crash Aug. 5 as he took off for Kansas City to
claim his primary victory, and runner-up Warren E.
Hearnes, who stepped in as the nominee, trailed badly from
the start.
Many Missourians will be watching to see what kind of
senator Danforth will be. The 40-year-old Episcopal
minister has been viewed as a moderate Republican durinf
most of his career in state politics; but, like Wallop i Wyoming, he moved to the right in his 1976 campaign,. It is
not clear how conservative he will be in the Senate:
Chafee's victory also came after an unexpected turn of
events. The former governor, beaten in a Senate try in 1.972
had been expecting all year to oppose Gov. Philip Noel
front-runner for the Democratic Senate nomination.. Bul
Noel ran into primary problems against Richard Lorber,' 1
wealthy Cadillac dealer who poured nearly $500,000 of hi:
own money into his challenge. It was an angry campaign
and by the time it was over Lorber had won by 100 votes
But the Democratic Party was so badly divided that thi
nomination was not worth much. Lorber began his genera
election campaign financially and politically spent, and hi
never caught up with Chafee.
Heinz of Pennsylvania did not benefit from any par
ticular turn of events. He won essentially by heavy spend
ing. In his primary and general election campaigns com
bined, Heinz spent more than $2-million, the most of an;
candidate in the country in 1976. He financed most of'hi
campaign with his own money, part of the Heinz catsup any

Pursell in final unicial returns.
The Midwest was the only part of the country in which
Republicans scored a slight gain in House seats. But it was a
narrow one--a single seat, which could rise to two if Mikva
lost.
Missouri, where five Democratic open seats provided a
tempting target for Republicans, did not 'do for the GOP
what Pennsylvania did for the Democrats in the East. The
expected strong showing by the Republican state ticket
fizzled as Jimmy Carter carried the state and Gov.
Christopher S. (Kit) Bond lost in one of the country's
biggest upsets. Only the House seat of the late Democrat
Jerry Litton shifted parties, as the personal problems of
Democrat Morgan Maxfield converted an early huge
Democratic lead into victory for Republican E. Thomas
Coleman.
The defeats of incumbents Mezvinsky, Roush and
Vander Veen came in the Midwest, but Indiana was not as
productive for Republicans as expected. The four
Democratic freshmen all won easily, and newcomer David
Cornwell narrowly held for the Democrats the seat of the
departing Philip H. Hayes.
The Democrats countered Republican gains elsewhere
with a two-seat pickup in Ohio, beating Clancy and captur-
ing an open seat while re-electing incumbents Thomas L.
Ashley easily and Charles J. Carney narrowly. The presence
of a black independent interfered with their good chance to
defeat Republican Samuel L. Devine; he edged out a
Democrat by only 1,800 votes. Democrats also won new
seats in the overwhelmingly Republican delegations of Kan-
sas and Nebraska. Shriver's upset loss and the unexpectedly
comfortable 6,000-vote victory of embattled Martha Keys in
the 2nd District gave Democrats two of five seats in Kansas.
In Nebraska, State Sen. John J. Cavanaugh broke the GOP
monopoly in the state's House delegation for the first time
in 10 years, while Democrat Edward Zorinsky was taking a
U.S. Senate seat.
Democrats Tom Harkin and Alvin J. Baldus demon-
strated what Downey showed in New York-how to win
by a landslide in a Republican district. Harkin converted
a 51 per cent margin in 1974 into a 65-35 victory in the 5th
District over Kenneth R. Fulk, a well-known conservative
who demonstrated limited appeal. Baldus, a farmer facing
the computerized and highly organized campaign of physi-
cian Adolf Gunderson in Wisconsin's formerly Republican
3rd District, won by margin of more than 38,000 votes, more
than seven times his 1974 victory.
A hard-fought contest to succeed unsuccessful.
Republican Senate candidate Marvin L. Each in Michigan
gave a narrow 337-vote victory to GOP candidate Carl. D.
The West remained balanced between the parties.
Neither party scored a gain in House seats.
Arizona gave the Democrats their best opportunities for
ains in the open seats of John B. Conlan and Sam Steiger.
g
Their chances looked best for Conlan's seat, but Republican
Eldon D. Rudd managed a victory by 707 votes. But in the
other seat, State Senate President Bob Stump, an old-line
"pinto" Democrat, won with surprising ease over a
Republican and an independent.
The Democrats beat Talcott in. California, but failed to
win the open seat vacated by Republican Alphonzo Bell.
Ultraconservative Robert K. Dornan easily defeated
Democratic businessman Gary Familian in the 27th
District, in perhaps the country's nastiest House campaign,.
The Republican gains came in Howe's seat in Utah,.
and in Montana, where Democratic Senate victor John
Melcher's seat in the normally Republican eastern part. of
the state slipped back to the GOP.
In Washington's 2nd District, Republican John Nance.
Garner could pull a big upset; he is running neck-and-neck
with six-term Democrat; Lloyd Meeds, who got into troubl&
with the voters when he failed to take a firm stance against a
federal court decision recognizing special rights for Indians
in fishing the state's waterways. Garner, a relative and
namesake of the late former Vice President, had promised to
work to reverse it and help the district's commercial
fishermen, who were suffering as a result. The issue had
much the same emotional impact that busing did in other
states in 1970 and 1972.
Incumbents pulled through in several close races in the
region. Democratic freshmen Mark W. Hannaford of
California and Timothy E. Wirth of Colorado barely sur-
vived challenges from attractive GOP conservatives.
Another Californian, Jim Lloyd, won more comfortably over
Republican Louis Brutocao in the 35th District.
Robert L. Leggett of California, battered by his admis-
sion that he supported two families and was under in-
vestigation by the Justice Department on bribery charges,
staved off Republican Albert Dehr by just over 700 votes,
in his heavily Democratic district. In any other circum-
Dehr would have been merely token opposition to
stances,
fill the Republican ballot line.
James P. Johnson of Colorado, an independent-minded
Republican, won without difficulty in a three-way race over
a Democrat and a right-wing independent. The weakest.
Republican showing by an incumbent was by George,
Kress to win a fourth term from the 2nd District.
