Dear Len: If and when full statistics on the results of the current election are available to you, I should like an analysis along the following lines:
a. Results in each Gubernatorial, Senatorial, and Congressional race (except those in the solid South which I think would yield little in the way of lessons for us).
b. Whether or not each candidate was an incumbent and seeking re-election.
c. In the case of each candidate, did he or did he not make a point of being an "Administration" or "Eisenhower" supporter?
d. What was made the principal issue in each race--or, putting it another way, what factor seemed most to influence the voters in the area?
e. Any other observations or facts that would make a detailed examination valuable.1
Sincerely
