The Senate

Arizona: Trailing in the pollsters' books only a few weeks ago, Republican Incumbent Barry Goldwater, 49, closed the gap with a flurry of TV talks, trimmed outgoing Governor Ernest McFarland after a bare-knuckle campaign that had the rancor of a personal feud. By beating McFarland, despite the Democratic trend, by winning in the teeth of Big Labor's threat to get him, unabashedly conservative Barry Goldwater emerged as Capitol Hill's No. 1 spokesman of the Republican right wing.

California: Liberal Republican Governor Goodwin J. Knight, 61, hitherto a favorite of California Democrats, paid the price for a hopelessly crippled G.O.P. campaign, lost to conservative Democratic Congressman Clair Engle, 47.

Connecticut: Ex-Congressman Thomas J. Dodd turned a cautiously predicted victory into an overwhelming one, blasted Incumbent Republican Senator William Purtell out of office.

Delaware: Conservative Republican "Honest John" Williams, 54, beat down the substantial threat of ex-Governor Elbert N. Carvel, 48, to win a third term.

Florida: Democrat Spessard Holland, 66, ambled to his third term.

Indiana: In a big switch for a Republican state--and still vindicating insistent newspaper polls--Evansville's Democratic Mayor R. (for Rupert) Vance Hartke, 39, overran Governor Harold Handley, 48, who was bedeviled by recession ills, high taxes and highway scandals.

Maryland: Colorful, never-defeated Baltimore Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro, 55, had won 23 elections in a row until he ran for the Senate against colorless, never-defeated Republican Incumbent J. Glenn Beall, 64. D'Alesandro got off to an early lead in the Baltimore returns, but despite the overwhelming victory of Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate J. Millard Tawes, Beall (rhymes with well) ran far enough ahead of D'Alesandro in the counties to cop the victory.

Massachusetts: The 1960 presidential hopes of rich, boyish John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 41, got a hefty boost from the 3-1 lopsidedness of his victory over Republican Vincent Celeste.

Michigan: Unhappy over heavy unemployment in the auto industry, Michigan voters swept out of office Senator Charles E. Potter, 42, last major G.O.P. officeholder in a onetime Republican stronghold, swept in popular, able Lieutenant Governor Philip A. Hart, 45.

Minnesota: What began as a toe-to-toe shooting match turned into a hands-down victory for Congressman Eugene McCarthy, 42, who buried forever the legend that a Roman Catholic could not be elected to statewide office in Minnesota, rode the well-oiled Democrat-Farmer-Labor machine to a thoroughgoing victory over the Republicans' two-term incumbent, Ikeman Ed Thye, 62.

Missouri: Democrat Stuart Symington, 57, wanted to win big to brighten his prospects for the 1960 presidential nomination. So he ran hard and won big.

Nevada: Mossback Republican George W. Malone, 68, lost his third-term race to middle-of-the-road Democrat Howard W. Cannon, 46, Las Vegas city attorney for ten years, less on political grounds than because Las Vegans, who recently surpassed Reno in population, were peeved because all three Nevadans in Congress were from Reno.

New Jersey: After a lackluster campaign, Lawyer and Onetime (1953-56) Congressman Harrison A. Williams, 38, defeated longtime Republican Congressman Robert W. Kean, 65, became the first New Jersey Democrat elected to the Senate since 1936, bolstering the 1960 presidential prestige of his sponsor and patron, Democratic Governor Robert Meyner.

North Carolina: Textile Manufacturer B. Everett Jordan, 62, conservative Democrat appointed to the Senate last April after W. Kerr Scott died, won a predictably lopsided contest for the remaining two years of Scott's term.

North Dakota: Maverick Republican "Wild Bill" Langer, 72, won re-election to his fourth term without going home to campaign.

Ohio: In the year's biggest surprise, Right-Wing Republican John Bricker, 65, three-term Governor (1939-45) and 1944 vice presidential nominee, lost his bid for a third term to Lawyer Stephen M. Young, 69, perennial Democratic candidate.

Pennsylvania: Hugh Scott Jr., 57, longtime (eight terms) Republican Congressman from Philadelphia, onetime G.O.P. National Committee chairman in the Dewey days, and an early Eisenhower partisan, breasted the recession blues that covered Pennsylvania, took on Democratic Governor George Leader, 40, profited by splinters in the Democratic Party and dissatisfaction with Leader's administration, won an unexpected victory.

Rhode Island: Tough-skinned John 0. Pastore, 51, saved his own hide, despite a strong protest vote in his second race against Republican Bayard Ewing, 42.

Tennessee: Democrat Albert Gore, 50, was expected to win in a romp, and did.

Texas: Incumbent Democrat Ralph Yarborough, 55, trounced Republican Millionaire Roy Whittenburg by a Texas-sized margin.

Utah: Ex-Governor J. Bracken Lee, 59, ran as an independent against two-term Republican Arthur Watkins, 71, cut into the normal G.O.P. majority enough to elect Salt Lake's Democratic County Attorney Frank E. Moss, 48.

Vermont: Eisenhower Republican Winston L. Prouty, three-term Congressman, took an early lead and kept ahead of popular Democrat Frederick J. Fayette, the state's first serious Democratic threat in years, by one of the smallest pluralities (some 5,500) in the history of the Vermont G.O.P.

Virginia: Apple-growing Democrat Harry Byrd, the Senate's leathery old (71) Mr. Economy, easily plucked a fifth term.

Washington: Democrat Henry M. ("Scoop") Jackson, 46, scooped up a predicted second term.

West Virginia: After going Republican in 1956, this state returned to its Democratic normalcy in a landslide. Old Guard Republican Chapman Revercomb was unseated by Democratic Congressman Robert C. Byrd, 40, for the full term. Blunt-spoken Banker John Hoblitzell, 45, was beaten by Congressman Jennings Randolph for a two-year remainder term.

Wisconsin: Amiable Bill Proxmire, 42, Democrat elected last year to Joe McCarthy's seat, easily skipped in ahead of inept Republican Tyro Roland J. Steinle, 62.
