NG STAR, WASHINGTO! D. C, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1928. HODVERNEW YORK ARG 5 800 Defeat in State Smith’s Sec- ‘ond in 30 Years of Office Seeking. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 7.—New York State's 45 electoral votes, the choicest plum that can fall into a presidential candidate's basket, go to Herbert Hoover, probably by 100,000, The home State of Gov. Alfred E. Smith, which had seen him defeated for public office only once in more than 30 years, returned a plurality for his Republican opponent in yesterday’s na- tional election. The vote, with 233 dis- tricts missing out of 8,267 in the State, was: Hoover, 2,130,788; Smith, 2,052,641. Democrats, however, found some bright spots in the State returns. Frank- lin D. Roosevelt, who nominated Smith at Houston, was elected to the gover- norship over Albert Ottinger by a mar- gin that showed him running well ahead of the Democratic national ticket. Houghton Is Defeated. United States Senator Robal S. Cope- land, Democrat, was re-elected, defeat- ing former Ambassador Alanson B. Houghton of Corning, Republican. Gov. Smith showed unexpected strength in the upstate cities, while ~ Hoover cut into the usual Democratic pluralities in New York City. Four yvears ago Gov. Smith defeated Col. Theodore Roosevelt by 108,000 votes while President Coolidge was carrying the State by 870,000. Eight years ago, the year of the Harding land- slide, the governor lost to Nathan L. Miller by 74,000. Harding got the un- precedented plurality of 1,089,000 in the State. Although Smith was strong in many of the State’s cities the vote of the smaller towns and rural districts went heavily to Hoover, who, with the re- turns more than half in at a late hour last evening, was able to ‘“come down to the Bronx.” as the saying-is, with a plurality that gave him the State. Roosevelt Sees Fraud. Roosevelt, who himself polled a large vote up-State as well as in New York City, issued a statement early this morning in which he said the Demo- cratic State committee was convinced, in view of slow returns from approxi- %o mately 1,000 up-State districts, that fraud was being committed in an effort to_elect Ottinger. “Accordingly.” said the Roosevelt statement, “Edward Dore, chairman of the law committe of the Democratic State committee: John G. Saxe and Maurice Bloch, minority leader of the Assembly, are leaving New York Wed- nesday morning for up-State cities, to- gether with a staff of 100 lawyers, 10 uncover such frauds as have been com- mitted and to prevent any further frauds.” SCHOOL CONTRACT GOES TO LOEHLER COMPANY 16-Room Building to Be Erected at Twentieth and Evarts Streets. ‘The G. C. Loehler Construction Co. was awarded a contract by the District | Commissioners yesterday to construct the new 16-room Langdon School. The new school will cost approxi- mately $250,000 and replace the pres- ent building at Twentieth and Evarts streets northeast. The present build- ing is of frame construction and for years has been the target of criticism as a firetrap. - Repairing? 3 BRANCHES 64 C.Sts SW. 524 Fla AveNE 5921 Ga AveNW New Bake Your Thanksgiving Turkey to a “Queen’s Taste” On a New “CLARK JEWEL” Gas Range With or Without the - LORAIN OVEN HEAT REGULATOR AN OVEN HEAT accurately meax- nticaliy conirols the heat of the oven. < MUDDIMAN § 709 13th St. NW.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., November 7.— Republicans apparently have been able at last to wrest Florida from her place in the solid South. With 588 precincts out of 1,263 tabulated, the vote was Smith, 58267; Hoover, 74,098. ‘With 504 precincts reported, the vote was: Doyle F. Carlton, 53,036; William J. Howey, 35,401, for governor. United States Senator Park Tram mel was given assurance of his election over Barclay H. Warburton, t} mayor of Palm Beach, his Republican opponent. The vote was: Trammel, 43,- 279; Warburton, 21,956. NEBRASKA CHOOSES ance WISCONSIN BACK ING. 0. P. COLUMN Republican State Party Can- didates Are Swept Into Office. By the Assoclated Press. MILWAUKEE, November 7.—Swing- ing back into the Republican column after its revolt four years ago, Wisconsin yesterday gave Herbert Hoover a ma- Jority expected to exceed 100,000. Upon this tide of Republican votes, it ap- peared that all the party candidates, had been swept into office. The State, which in 1924 was alone in its support of Senator Robert M. La Follette, elected Walter J. Kohler, millionaire manufacturer and supporter of Hoover, governor over Mayor Albert G. Schmedeman, Democratic candidate. 10 FOLLOW HOOVER Howell Seems Winner in Sen- atorial Race—Prohibition Seen Vindicated. By the Associated Press. OMAHA, November 7.—Nebraska, “the doubtful,” today was safely in the Republican column in its major races. On the face of returns from nearly half of the State the presidential choice of this farm State went to Herbert Hoover. The Hoover majority over Gov. Alfred E. Smith was approximately. 40, 000 votes. Howell Seems Certain. United States Senator R. B, Howell, Republican, was virtually assured of re- election with more than 750 precincts giving him a 40,000 majority over Rich- ard L. Metcalf, his Democratic oppo- yent. The Senator, early today, issued a statement in which he characterized the Republican sweep as a victory for prohibition. “One thing is certain,” he said, “the ceived a setback from which it will not recover for many years. The Nation is be congratulated.” All State Officers Win. All State officers were te-elu‘fd time for governor, went far ahead of Charles W. Bryan, his Democratic op- Bryan, brother of the late Willlam Jennings Bryan, and a vice running nearly 25000 votes behind Weaver. ‘Three congressional races, however, remain in doubt.

La Follette, who in 1925, when barely able to qualify because of his youth, was chosen to fill the Senate seat vacated by the death of his father, was returned for the full six- year term. La Follette, the Republican nominee, who failed to support Hoover and gave out a statement interpreted by the Democrats as an indorsement of Gov. Smith, was re-elected over State Sel r Willilam H. Markham, con- servative Republican who ran as an independent after M. K. Reilly, the Democratic candidate, withdrew. La Follette’s majority was expected to exceed 400,000. Four Progressives, Henry A. Huber, lieutenant governor; John W. Reynolds, attorney general; Theo Dammann, sec- retary of State, and Solomon Levitan, State treasurer, were elected. Victor Berger, lone Socialist in Con- gress, appeared to have been defeated by William H. Stafford, former Congress- man and the Republican nominee in the fifth district (Milwaukee). ‘The success of Hoover and Kohler in Wisconsin was accomplished over the opposition of scores of progressive Re- publican leaders, including United States Senator John J. Blaine. It installed in the governor's chdir, for the next biennium, the first Republican support- ing the national party since 1918, when Emanuel L. Phillip served the State.

A fall from a second-story window of her home resulted in the serious in- jury yesterday afternoon of Jacqueline Monday, 5 years old, 1135 Twelfth street. She is in Emergency Hospital suffering from a broken right arm and internal injuries. An investigation by second precinct police revealed that the child had been standing in the window sill and leaned against the screen, which gave way. Her parents called Emergency Hospital ROBINSON UNPERTURBED. Defeat Fails to Prevent Arkansan From Sleeping. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., November 7 (#).—His major defeat in a long politi- cal career did not keep Senator Joe T. Robinson, the Democratic vice presi- dential nominee, from enjoying a good night’s sleep, one of the lew he has had since he began his campaign more than two months ago. He and Mrs. Robinson sat up at their home here listening to the returns by radio until about midnight, when, his defeat certain, he retired. At 8:30 o'clock this morning his wife reported he still was asleep. He made no statement, but Mrs. Rob- inson said he undoubtedly will make one later and send congratulatory mes- sages to the Republican victors, includ- ing Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas, the Republican vice presidential nom- inee, who long has been a close per- sonal friend of his. SVITH FAR BEHIND IN PENNSYLVANIA Hoover’s Lead Nearly 750, 000—Rival’s Showing Best Among Democrats. By the Assoclated Press. PHILADELPHIA, November 7.—Her- bert Hoover's lead over Alfred E. Smith in the contest for Pennsylvania's 38 electoral votes was being increased further today as weary election clerks continued to 1.:ddd up the unprecedented ote cast yesterday. vmnurnsytmm 3’.4:«6 distriots out of 8,571 in the State gave Hoover a lead of 728,00. The vote so far received was Hoover, 1,590,017; Smith, 861,967. Smith Vote a Record. While- acknowledging defeat, Demo- cratic leaders had some solace in know- ing that Gov. Smith had rolled up more votes than any previous Democratic candidate in Pennsylvania. In so do- ing the last member of the Vare family was eliminated as a_legislative repre- sentative of the people of Philadelphia, for Mrs. Flora S. Vare, sister-in-law of Willlam S. Vare, was defeated for re-election to the State Senate. The Republican victory carried United States Senator David A. Reed back to Washington to succeed him- self. He has been a member of the Senate since 1922. The Smith popularity in Philadelphia swept five Democrats into the lower branch of the State Legislature. They will be the first Democratic Assembly- men from Philadelphia in years. Vares Long in Body. A Vare had held an office in the State Legislature since 1891 when George A Vare went to Harrisburg to represent his constituency in the House. In 1897 he went from the House to the State Senate and was succeeded in 1908 by Edwin H. Vare, who in turn was suc- ceeded by William 8. Vare. Mrs. Vare is the widow of Edwin 8 Vare, and she had been a State Senator since 1925. and the ambulance responded.

By the Associated Press. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., November 7.— The Democratic national ticket, on which a native son of the State, Sen- ator Joe T. Robinson, vice presidential nominee, had a two-to-one lead in Ar- kansas today, was trailing the State ticket, with indications it would fall far short of the normal Democratic majority. Reports from 684 out of 2,018 pre- cincts gave Smith 45,638 and Hoover 24,872, ‘The returns showed many Democrats scratched the national candidates, but cast their votes for State Democratic nominees. Gov. Harvey Parnell was leading his Republican opponent, M. D. Bowers, 33,282 to 9,113, in returns from 461 precincts, and the majority of J. H. Womack, State superintendent of public instruction, the only other Democratic nominee for State office who had opposition, was running about the same. All Democratic nominees for Congress apparently were elected, although Sam Cecil, Republican, was running an un- usual race against Claude Fuller in the third district. ‘The vote from 455 precincts for the anti-evolution measure was 19,443 for and 14,609 against. Hoover showed his greatest strength in West and Northwest Arkansas, par- tial returns in several places showing him running almost even with Smith. In Sebastian County (Fort Smith) 23 out of 45 precincts gave Smith 2,245 and Hoover 2,205. - The home county of Senator Robin- son, Lonoke, showed an overwhelming Democratic majority on partial re- turns, 18 out of 29 precincts giving Smith 1,366; Hoover, 352. Pulaski County (Little Rock) in 49 out of 57 precincts gave Smith 8,421 and Hoover 4,237, 2 All four proposed _constitutional amendments submitted had majorities which indicated their passage. FIRE IN TOUR'ISTS’ TENT CAUSES MUCH DAMAGE Fire started in a tent at the Wash- ington Tourist Camp, occupied by Abe Suwalsky of Columbus, Ohio, yesterday evening, which was extinguished by Patrolman Robert Howell of the Park Police with a hand extinguisher, but not before it destroyed nearly all of Mr. Suwalsky's belongings and ruined a chicken dinner which he had in the course of preparation at the time. Suwalsky, who is traveling alone, and who has just completed a tour of 21 States, said he must have fallen asleep while cooking his chicken over a camp fire, and that a gust of wind did the rest. Throughout the fire the fowl miraculously remained in the skillet. “It was a bit overcooked,” said Su- walsky, “and the fire extinguisher fluid did not mix well with the gra: Peerless engineering has given the Sixz-81 a heavy 7-bearing crankshaft, inter- nal expanding 4-whezl brakes, Bohnalite pistons, ROOSEVELT LEAD 64,083. 347 Districts Unreported in New York Governor Race. NEW YORK, November 7 (#).— Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic gu- bernatorial candidate, had a lead of 64,083 over Attorney General Albert Ot- tinger, Republican, with 347 districts unreported. The total was: Roosevelt, 2,077,673, Ottinger, 2,013,590. The returns from the missing up- State districts were expected to cut the Roosevelt plurality to about 40,000. . 6.0 GAINS TWO STATE EXECUTIVES Democrats Sustain Losses in Arizona, New Jersey and Ohio. By the Assoclated Press. Thirty-four governors were elected yesterday, and returns today showed the Republicans were leading in 21 States. There were insufficient reports from Nebraska and South Dakota to show. the trend, and several of the other States may change the political complexion of thé governorships when complete returns are in. Available returns showed the Re- publicans in the lead in Arizona, Con- necticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Indi~ ana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minne- sota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode Island, Vermont, Wash- ington, West Virginia and Wisconsin. The Democrats had leads in Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Massa- chusetts, Montana, New York, North' Carolina, Tennecssee, Texas and Utah. If there is no change this will mark a Republican gain of two governors. The turn-overs would be from Demo- cratic to Republican in Arizona, New Jersey and Ohio, and from Republicam to Democratic in Massachusetts. REPUBLICAN SWEEP RECORDED IN KANSAS Curtis’ Home State Gives @. 0. P. Ticket Majority of Nearly Three to One. By the Associated Press. ‘TOPEKA, Kans., November 7.—A Re- publican sweep was recorded in Kansas in yesterday's general election. The home State of Senator Charles Curtis gave him and his running mate, Herbert Hoover, a majority of nearly three to one. Clyde M. Reed, Republican, was elect- ed governor, defeating Chauncey B. Little, Democrat, by a heavy majority, and all the Republican candidates for State office were victorious. 21 REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS ELECTED IN 34 STATES LEGISLATIVE PAY Incomplete Returns Point to Decisive Defeat for Mary- land Amendment. Late returns from Maryland indicate obviously the defeat of the proposed constitutional amendment to raise the salary of members of the State Legis- lature from $5 to $15 a day for the time that the General Assembly is in session at Annapolis. With only a few precincts missing, the amendment was snowed under by nearly 7,000 votes in Baltimore, which offset the majority vote for it in many of the rural districts of the State. Ma- jorities for the amendment were ob- viously voted in Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties on the basis of incomplete returns. In Montgomery County, with three precincts missing, the amendment re- ceived 3,613 votes as compared with 2,354 against. With six precincts un- accounted for in Prince Georges Coun- ty, the -vote for higher pay for the Assemblymen was 3,456 to 2,943 against the amendment. ‘The present pay of $5 a day has been in existence since 1867, when $5 went a whole lot further than it does now. In view of the unusually short sessions of the Legislature, extending about 30 days during the year, a mem- ber received $150 for his services. Most of the agitation for increased pay came from the rural districts. Under the proposed amendment the member would receive no salary for the days he was absent, except in case of illness. An additional payment for mileage was proposed, at the rate of 20 cents a mile. The presiding officer of each house would have received a sal- ary of $20 a day during sessions. PR SEEK BIDS FOR BARS.
