THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. LXXIL, NO. 11,034 - ‘““Truman Deal’’ To Be Launched in Con RUSSIA PULLS Legislative Program fo Be WASH. STATE SPLIT, BUT GOES WET SEATTLE, Nov. 4.—(®—Washing-! ton’s strong-minded voters went Democratic for President, Republi- can for Governor and wet for the future. They also decided the veterans of World War II were entitled to a bonus, voting in favor of an initia- tive which would raise $100,000 for ex-sérvicemen. A tax on tobacco would provide the money. Under the measure, veterans who had lived in Washington for a year prior to the war would get $10 for each month of domestic service and $15 for each month served abroad. There were two liquor measures. The voters crushed one which would have done away with sale of beer and wine in taverns and stores. They gave sweeping approval to an- other legalizing ' the sale of liquor by the drink in restaurants and re- sorts. Although the state went general- ly democratic, it backslid in the governor's contest by ousting Mon C. Wallgren in favor of Arthur B. Langlie. This was a reversal of their choice four years ago when the same pair were running, with Lang: lie the incumbent. There was talk today that Wallgren would be of- fered'a place in President Truman's cabinet. The two are good friends. The state also switched parties in one congressional race, electing for-| mer Senator Hugh Mitchell, U. S. Representative from the First Dis. trict, and ousting Republican Rep. Homer Joneés. Other representatives were successful in retaining their jobs, leaving the state with five Republicans and two Democrats m! bonus the lower house. - R Hawaii Is Republican HONOLULU, Nov. 4.-P— Ha- | hold local option elections only {whose popularity had never had .I wall reelected Republican Delejate- to-Congress Joseph R.
