The vote, with most of the counties complete, was: Sampson, 334,- 017; Beckham, 324,565, Beckham had opposed the pari-mutuel system of betting in Kentucky, while Sampson contended it was not an issue. In the mayoralty race in Louisville Mayor Joseph T. O'Nea! was defeated 772 by William B. icial figures. Democratic leaders yofused late last night to concede de feat. In a statement Thomas S. Rhea State chairman, claimed a Democratic wajority in the State and charged that “the grossest frauds have been | perpetrated against the franchise.’ According to Associated Press tabu ons, Judge Sampson duced or turned the Demo: -into Republican majorities . sixth, seventh and ninth districts, nor. amally. Democratic. The sixth district | dealt the Democratic candidate a | terrific blow, normally Democratic by | 4.000. It went Republican in the gov- ernor's race by $.000.

Beckham, on the | 1 returns | { 4y, James Rolph, wha becomes head | | VASHINGTON, ) INCUMBENTS WIN of San Francisco Clt{ government for fifth time, and Harry H. Mackey, new executive of Philadelphia. By the Associated Press. - PHILADELPHIA, November 9.— The Republican organization under the leadership of Senator-elect Wil- liam S. Vare is still in the saddle in Philadelphia. The entire organiza- tion ticket, headed by Harry A. Mackey for mayor, was swept into office by overwhelming pluralities. Mackey’s unofficial majority over J. Hampton Moore, Citizens' party can- didate, was 165,062, the vote being: Mackey, 291,489; Meore, 126,427, Moore apparently earri of the 48 wards. Vare Sees 1928 Index. Senator-elect Vare said the heavy Republidarr vote was a notice to the country and that it would “give heart and courage to Republicans every: where upon the eve of the presiden- tial election.” Leaders of the Citizens’ party as- only one VARE ORGANIZATION CAPTURES ALL OFFICES IN PHILADELPHIA Hampton Moore Apparently Takes Only One of 48 Wards; James M. Beck Is Sent to Congress. serted that many irregularities had been discovered. Moore made a drive to overthrow the Republican organi- zation on the ground that it was ex- travagant and tyrannical, while Mackey based his campaign on promises of economy and party regu- larity. Beck Is Elected. James M. Beck, Republican, was elected to Congress from the first district of Philadelphia, defeating Dr. John P. Mulrenan, Democrat, by a huge majority. William W. Roper, head coach of the Princeton foot ball team, won a clean-cut victory in his race for re- election to city council. Despite his critielsm of Mayor Kendrick, he was nominated by the organization. The mayor urged his defeat and so did the Citizens' party, but the coach crashed through. MAYOR ROLPH WINS IN SAN FRANCISCO Gets Fifth Term of 4 Years. Hetch Hetchy Power Bond Issue Defeated. By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, Novémber 9.— Mayor James Rolph, jr., today emerged victorious by a wide margin in the city and county election, defeating James E. Power, his strongest oppo- nent, by a majority of some 30,000 votes on the face of complete unoffi- cial returns. This gives Rolph a fifth term of four years. - Rolph won a complete victory by virtue of the ‘defeat of Sheriff Tom Finn, who had combined forces with Power in the fight for the offices of mayor and sheriff. Rolph’s fight swept W." J. Fitzgerald, the mayor’s candl- date for sheriff, into office by about 20,000 majority, the returns showed. Power resigned the San Francisco postmastership to run for mayor and boasted the support of the Republican city organization in spite of the fact that the race was non-partisan. Rolph, a Republican, accepted the indorse- ment of the city Democratic organi- zation. Adolph Uhl, independent, - gathered only 11,396 votes. The figures: Rolph, 90,344; Power, 59,442, For sheriff—Fitzgerald, 91,135; Finn, 65,976, The returns indicated that only one of the bond measures had been ap- proved by the necessary two-thirds majority. That one provides for is- suance of $9,380,000 for construction or completion of highway - projects within the city. The proposed municipal railway ex- tension, to cost $4,600,000, and the $2,- 000,000 Hetch Hetchy power transmis- sion line project apparently were de- feated. . .

Special Dispatch. to The Star, FAIRFAX, Va., November 9.—By a smaller vote than was cast in the primary, all Democrats except one, unning against a full Republican ticket, were elected in Fairfax County yesterday. The exception was that of Arthur B. Barrister, Republican, elected justice of the peace in place of Judge James Allen of Vienna, Democrat, who obtained considerable publicity recently by his campaign against District motorists lacking Virginia_ license tags. The vote against Republicans, with this excep~ tion, was about 10 to 1. The victorious candidates: For State Senate—Frank L. Ball, defeating M. G. Ely. House of Dele- gates—H. E. Hanes, defeating L.

DETROIT, November 9.—John C. Lodge, exponent of a political creed that the office should seek the man, today apparently had defeated Mayor John W. Smith, champion of liberal- ity in enforcement of prohibition laws, on the face of returns from all but a few of the city's precincts, in yes- terday’s non-partisan mayoralty elec- tion, Returns from 606 precincts gave Lodge 120,988 votes and Smith 108,800. Never Made Speech. Lodge, who during his 25 years in local politicals has never made a polit- ical speech- or issued a written ap- peal, swept into the lead in a late rush of returns from outlying dis- tricts, after trailing Smith in earlier returns. Smith sprung numerous surprises, invading wards previously hostile to him. . Smith came out flatly in oppo- sition to the liquor laws, and his atti- tudé is believed to have had a bear- ing on the balloting. Many precincts which had gone overwhelmingly in the primary to Lodge, who led Smith by 30,000 votes, reversed the order yesterday. Liquor Issue Fought. Lodge's supporters refused to ac- cept the liquor question injected by Smith as an issue. Among five amendments to the city charter that were adopted was one approving construction by a private concern of a proposed vehicular tun- nel from Detroit to Windsor, Ontario. A proposal that the county issue $2,- 000,000 in bonds for the site and con- struction of a publicly owned airport also was approved. . AL SMITH VICTORY SEEN IN BALLOT (Continued from First Page.) 000 votes or more. Mr. Bbck has ap- peared as a ‘defender for the seating of Mr. Vare and Col. Frank L. Smith of Illinois, both Senators-elect, and both charged with excessive expendi- ture of money and corruption in their campalgns. Drys Receive Jolt. In Ohlo the Anti-Saloon League re- ceived a jolt when it was defeated yesterday in a referendum’ on a bill approved by the Legislature, which would have put justices of the peace on a fee basis with authority to try violators of the prohibition laws. Ohlo has been so strongly dry in political contests that the result yesterday has given the wets couwrage, They are claiming that there is no longer a dry majority in Ohlo. However, there is a difference between the strength of the justices of the peace bill and the dry sentiment in the State. It the wets claim a victory in Ohio, the drys may claim success yesterday in Michigan's wet spot, Detroit. There the mayor, John W. Smith, an avow- ed wet, has been defeated apparently by his dry opponent, John C. Lodge, a granduncle of Lindbergh. The city election in. Detroit is called a non- partisan affair. New Jersey Republicans retain con- trol of the State Legislature, which may indicate Democratic defeat in the State next year, when Senator Ed- wards comes up for election. James Rolph, Jjr., San Francisco’s mayor, was given another four-year term, his fifth, and Willlam B. Harrison, Republican, was elected mayor of Loulsville, Ky. ‘The Republicen administration of Louisville was turned out only a few months ago, after a court decision that "l::n” had been corruption in its elec- tion.

Special Dispatch to The S CLARENDON, Va., November 9.— All county office holders, with but one exception, were returned by the elec- tions yesterday. By defeating Willlam J. Ingram for the office of supervisor of Arlington district, B. M. Hedrick, Republican, kept the county's official family from remaining intact. ~ In- cumbents had easy sailing in all but three fights, those of commonywealth's attorney and sheriff in addition to Arlington supervisor, and the de- cisions in these were in doubt until late returns had been received. Frank L. Ball, generally expected, was given an over- whelming majority ov M. G. Ely Republican, for the State Senate, the vote being Ball, 4,765, and Ely, 986, Hugh Reld, Democrat. had many votes to spare in the race for the House of Delegates, against Will W, Douglass.

VIRGINIA CONTESTS Stafford County Democrals | Ousted—Woman Delegate Reported Loser. Special Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va.. November 9.—De- spite_light voting generally through- | out Virginia yesterday, several con- | tests were close and complete returns are slow arriving here. The ballot favored all thr proposed amend- ments to the State constitution. One of the hig surprises of the election was the ousting of Demo. cratic commonwealth's attorney, treas- urer and sheriff in Stafford County, the new Republican or independent officers being L. R. Curtis, W. D. Reamy and W. E. Curtis, chosen in | order for the offices above named. In Spottsylvania County James Ask ¥, Democrat, was re-elected coul clerk. while E. R. Carney, Democrat, was d~eated by S. P. Powell, incum- bent, Republican, for commonwealth’s attorney. In the Isle of Wight election, ac- cording to returns from Smithfield, the county seat, Sheriff William Chap- man and Prosecuting Attorney George Whitley, both Democrats, were de- feated Ly W, . Whitehead and A. A. 8. Stephens, Republicans, because of their alleged dereliction in bring- ing about the punishment of a negro murderer named Winnegan, who com- | mitted a crime after being discharged | from an insane asylum. Stephens is said to have refused the prosecutor- «hip, however, because of friendship for Whitley. Gen. C. C. Vaughan, Democrat, was returned to the Senate and D. W. Chapman, Democrat, to the Tlouse Buchanan Given Honor. In Smith County of which Marion is the county seat, B. F. Buchanan, for- mer lientenant governor and former State Senator, considered by many as a Democrat of presidential propor- tions, was elected to represent the district again in the Senate. The dis- trict is strongly Republican. George W. Layman, author of the State prohibition law, leads George Rebercomb, Republican, for the Sen- ate in Rockingham County. Dele- gates George Keezell and Ralph Dader apparently were re-elected. A. L. Worthern was re-elected county treas- urer in Warren County, where he had been removed for an glleged shortage and re-instated. R. Lindsay Gordon, one of the veteran members of the House of Delegates, was re-elected over his independent rival by about 200 majority in Louisa County. For the Senate from Lee and Scott Coun- ties J. H. Johnson, beaten by only two votes in the last campaign, is reported to be running even with Royal Crafts, Republican, In Pittsylvania County, which em- braces Danville, there were contests for three seats in the House of Dele- gates. Independent candidates are caid to have been defeated. Mrs. Sal- lie C. Booker, one of the two woman members of the House, was reported beaten by Reed L. Stone of Bassett, in- dependent, who based his campaign upon the frank assertion that law- making is a man's business. In the Roanoke district A. P. Sta- ! ples, James Bear and John W. Mec- Cauley, Democcrats, unopposed, were elected to the House of Delegates, while R. J. Noell was re-elected to the Senate. Patrick Vote Close. Yesterday's election fight in Patrick County centered on the position of clerk of the county court, in which T. Lee Clark, Democratic incumbent, defeated J. R. Taylor, Republican, by a close vote. Because of the recent activity of “yndercover” agents, who caused many Patrick County men to be im- prisoned for violations of the Volstead act, there was a_bitter pre-election campaign. Rev. J. R. Lodge, Meth- odist. preached for law and order, and condemned vote trading. The proposed amendment design- ed to enable Arlington County to assess abutting property owners for local public improvements met with little County, and some opposition. One of the other proposed amendments fixes the appropriation vear of the State to coircide with the fiscal year and | the third would give widows and wives of Confederate veterans the right to vote without payment.of poll tax. Only 3,000 votes were cast out of 40,000 here, ¥. G. Haddon, Waller Holliday and Edward R. Fuller, Dem- ocrats, belng elected without opposi- tion for the Senats and James H. Price, Edwin C. Folkes, James P. Jones, J. Van Gary, Charles W. Crowder and S. S. P. Patterson sim- llarly for the House. WINS IN ALEXANDRIA. Birrell Defeats G. 0. P. Rival 645 to 171 in Delegateship Race.
