Herbert Hoover, Republican president-elect, George F. Shafer, Republican governor-elect, and Senator Lynn J. Frazier vet been endorsed by pluralities ranging well over the 20,000 mark. e The amendment to bond the state for $25,000,000 to pay depositors in closed banks had been overwhelmingly beaten by the state electorate. Battles for offices alone remained in the race for three seats on the supreme court bench. , Indications pointed to the present incumbents, W. L. Nuessle, A. G. Burr and L. E. Bird- zell retaining their posts despite the stiff opposition of F. O. Hellstrom and C. L. Crum. Speaking over long-distance telephone with The Bismarck Tribune at 3:30 p. m. today, Governor Wal- ter Maddock said that he had no personal regrets as to the outcome of the election but that he was sorry the state industrial program would not go f i. When asked for a statement regarding the out- come of the election, Maddock said he had heard noth- ing since early morning and that he could see no rea- son why he should make a statement. When informed that the Independent candidate was 28,000 votes in the lead with 1,200 precincts heard from, however, he said the outcome of the race was probably definitely decided, and offered his congratula- tions to George Shafer, the Independent standard bearer. Mr. Shafer put up a good, energetic campaign, Maddock declared. Republicans for other state offices had a lead of almost 2 to 1 in the majority of cases over their Democratic opponents. The vote, with 1,128 of 2,197 precincts in the state report- ed, was: Shafer 81508; Maddock “ Returns from 1,057 precincts gave Hoover 82,948* Smith 59,612.

For weeks and iaonths members of the arrangement committee have scurried about the city and state, perfecting arrangements for mak- ing the corn show the best ever held Morris, Olsness, and Harding large jin the state. Today, the opening day of the celebration, every indication was that the work of the committee had not been in vain. Even Old Sol out- did himself for the occasion, and the perfect Indian summer day was ex- pected to bring exhibitors and visi- tors from all parts of the state. Although the official opening date of the show was set for today, judging of the exhibits will not start until tomorrow. Sponsors of the show reasoned that exhibitors will be busy the greater part of the day in arranging their specimens and the work of placing the corn on racks for exhibit would be ham- pered. 700 Exhibits Expected Late arrivals of corn early today brought the total number of exhib- DAVIES SEEM BEATEN TODAY Register and Parker, Holding Narrow Margins; Welch and Runey Leading F.

Smith has fought the greatest battle of his long public career, and has conceded his defeat. Although returns were not com- Ree he had admitted today that his iopes for the presidency had been dashed by an overwhelming vote for Herbert Hoover, his Republican op- ponent. B&t he went down smiling, say the friends who stuck with him to the last, and now seeks “to be left alone for a while.” Surrounded by members of his family, the four times governor of New York had planned to stay at his hotel today preparing for the trip back to Albany, where he will vacate the governor’s chair Decem- ber 31, He preuably will go to the state capital tomorrow and rest a while before taking a vacation trip with Mrs, Smith, who was by his side almost constantly , throughout the long and arduous campaign. Congratulates Hoover Governor Smith was not long in sending his congratulations to Mr. Hoover. Soon after midnight he dispatched the following telegram to his opponent at Palo Alto, Calif.: “I congratulate you heartily on your victory, and extend to you my sincere good wishes for your health and happiness and for the success of your administration.” This was all the New York ex- ecutive had to say for publication last night during a whirlwind dash about his native New York catching election returns’on the fly. Visits were.made tothe Seventy-first. regi- ment armory, temporary headquar- tersof Tammany Hall; to Franklin D. Roosevelt's headquarters in the Biltmore, and to Democratic nation- al headquarters in the General Mo- tors building, where the Hoover tele- gram was made public, and the Democratic nominee finally motored back to his hotel shortly before 1 o’clock this morning. At 2:15 a.m. he kissed each one of his children good nicht and cheer- ily announced that he would see them in the morning. Chairman Raskob and several old cronies also were among the last to leave his suite. Wild Goose Chase It was a wild goose chase the gov- ernor led newspaper men around New York, and it reminded many who accompanied him on his cam- paign trips about the country of some of the largest crowds they had had to battle to keep up with the fast-moving candidate. The largest crush was expenienced at Democratic schools, respectively, were holding narrow leads over their opponents and were apparestly reelected, ac- cording to the tabulation. more closely contested than in any previous election, Unofficial tabulations at noon to- ay gave the following results: ‘or county superintendent, 47 pre- cinetst Huber 1,736; Runey 1,921.

While receiv- ing returns at the General Motors building the governor and Mrs. Smith were taken to Chairman Ras- kob’s office before a huge birthday ,000 Majority ony BIGHT STATES REMAIN DEFINITELY IN SMITH RANKS in Smith Group and Texas and North Carolina in Hoover Group Continue to Swing Near an Even Division of Votes as Count Mounts (By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS) The greatest electoral total in history was clustering under the Republican emblem of Hoover and Curtis today as ac- cumulating returns spoke the mandate of the voters with in- creasing emphasis. New ‘York, Nov. 7.—(AP)—Governor Smith an- nounced today that he never again expected to run for public office, as he had had more than a quarter of a century in public life and that was enough. The defeated Democratic presidential nominee ex- pressed this view at a conference with press cor- respondents in his suite at the Hote) Biltmore. “I certainly do not expect to run for public office again,” he said in reply to a question. “I have been in public life for a quarter of a century and I have had all I can stend of it. As far as running for office again, that is finished.” __ Throughout the day 40 states continued to turn in major: ities for the Republican nominees, while only eight kept to the standard of Smith and Robinson. The Republican 40 included four in the Democratic south, North Carolina, Virginia, Florida and Texas. Among the Democratic'eight were but two out- side the south—Massachusetts and Rhode Lsland. The 40 vote 444 strong in the electoral college. The eight have but 87 votes. These are the high water and low water marks for any major party in a two way national division. The eight states held by Smith were Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, having among them 87 electoral votes, Returns from the congressional elections also were far from complete, but it was apparent that the swing to Hoover had carried into office increased majorities in both senate and house. Although many precincts still were to be counted, returns compiled by the Associated Press up to 3 p. m. eastern time, had shown no indication that a single Hoover or Smith state was preparing to shift from the trend which had continued since early morning. Hoover's popular majority over Smith stood close to 5,000,000 and was mounting steadily, | Hoover Home, Stanford University Campus, Nov. 7.—(AP) —Herbert Hoover today telegraphed President Coolidge that he was “proud of the endorsement which the American people have given your administration” in the election yesterday. The president-elect’s message was in response to one from the chief executive congratulating him upon his election. It read: A “I am grateful for your message and I am proul of the en- dorsement which ahe American people have given to your ad- ministration.” Washington, Nov. 7.—(AP)—President Coolidge today telegraphed President-elect Hoover that his election “and the endorsement of the administration are of great satisfaction to me.” Mr. Coolidge also dispatched his congratulations to Vice President-elect Curtis. “With this enlorsement,” Mr. Coolidge wired, “I can now retire from office in contentment. I send you most cordial congratulations on your victory.” To Mr. Curtis the presi- dent said: “It is a special satisfaction to congraulate you on your election to the office of vice president because I know your peculiar fitness for that position.” Hoover Home, Stanford University Campus, Cal., Nov. 7.— (AP)—President-elect Herbert Hoover today sent the follow- ing response to the congratulatory telegram sent to him last night by his Democratic opponent, Governor Alfred E. Smith: “I am in receipt of your kind telegram. I deeply appreciate both the spirit of it and your good wishes for the future.’ 4 Another to Senator Joseph T.
