Among Democrats, Michigan's Neil Staebler ran a back-breaking campaign, lured former G.O.P. Congressman Alvin Bentley into reckless remarks in face-to-face debate, won an at-large seat despite the Romney tide. New York's Samuel Stratton, who tried unsuccessfully for the gubernatorial nomination, scored an upset victory in a Republican-gerrymandered district. California's Gus Hawkins, 55, a 28-year veteran of the state assembly and a New Frontiersman, became the first Negro from west of the Rockies to reach the House.

Staebler's likely opponent will be Republican Alvin Bentley, 43, a conservative multimillionaire (auto bodies), whose chief claim to fame is that he was wounded in the chest when a band of Puerto Ricans shot up the U.S. House of Representatives in 1954.
