DEMOCRATIC VOTE LESS THAN IN 1332 Loss of 1.6 Is Shown in To- tal Figures Compiled on Election. (Copyright, 1034, by the Associated Press.) | (" Despite the unprecedented Demo-| eratic strength in Congress voted last month, an Associated Press’compila- tion showed candidates of that party for the House of Representatives polled & slightly lower percentage of the major party vote than in 1932. The practically complete and mostly official tabulation of the bal- lots for the House gave a 32,279,792 total for all parties. A fractional diminution of the Democratic percentages in the Mid- west farm country was more than offset in the industrial East and min- ing West. The Democrats had a numerical margin of 3,927,689 over the Re- opublican tally of 13,512,749, ,. Of each thousand votes cast for candidates of those parties this year, however, a loss of 1.6 votes for the Democrats was indicated. The figures were: 563.1 Democratic and 436.9 Republican. This compared with the count two years ago of 564.7 in a thousand for the Democrats and 435.3 Republican. Comparative Totals. Here are the comparative House totals: Democrats Republicans Others 1932 20,386,334 15,715,010 1,379,747 1934 . 17,440,438 . 13,512,749 1,326,605 32,279,792 37,481,091 The figures told a paradoxical tale of Democratic fortune in two of the States where the party organization exerted itself, Pennsylvania and New # Mexico. Accompanying the toppling of the veteran Senator Reed in the Key- stone State, nominees for the House on the Guffey-for-Senate ticket polled 11.3 per cent more of the total than their predecessors of 1932. The vote for House members there exceeded the 1932 presidential vote by 156,000 At the same time, in New Mexico, where the Democratic machine was belatedly ana fruitlessly geared to oust “enator Cutting, its favorites for .ne House aggregated 12.1 per cent less of the House total than two years previous. In lifting their strength from 314 to 322 Representatives, the Democrats accounted for 56.32 per cent of the total vote involved to 43.69 for Re- publicans. The latter, with 116 seats last session, came out with 103 and the Farmer-Labor party retained only three of its five. Loss in Midwest. Six-tenths of one per cent was the measure of loss in Democratic popu- larity in the Midwest, as evidenced in the tabluation, while the industrial and Eastern Seaboard States accorded President Roosevelt's party 2.4 per cent more and the Far West 4.2 per cent more of the total than in 1932. The South, where Democratic primaries so frequently provide the only real contest, gave thpt party’s nominees 78.1 per cent of the total, or 1.1 per cent less than two years ago. Gains were shown for the Demo- crats in eight Eastern States and for the Republicans in four. The largest gain for the Democrais was in Pennsylvania and for the Repub- licans 7 per cent in Maryland. Half of the 12 Midwestern States showed gains for the Democrats, while the other half showed Republican gains. The largest Democratic gain was 3.8 per cent in North Dakota, the largest Republican gain, 6 per cent in Nebraska. Of the 11 Western States, seven gave gains to the Democrats, the largest 12.7 per cent in Montana. Four gave gains to the Republicans, the largest having been “in New Mexico. .+ The largest Democratic gain in the 13 Southern States was that of Vir- ginia, with 16.7 per cent. Interest Higher. Interest in the election of Repre- sentatives was high in some States, as shown by their larger total vote than cast two years ago for House members. This was the case in Maine, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Kan- sas, South Dakota, Wyoming, North Dakota and California. In some Southern States the vote was less than half what it was two years ago. Spirited senatorial and guberna- torial races in some of the States were in part responsible for the Jarger vote for members of the House. The total vote for some Senators and some Governors was larger than that for the members of the House in their States, so the total vote for House members does not represent the aggregate vote cast in the country in the election for comparison with the total Presidential vote two years ago of 39,734,351, LOW FARES Convenient Schedules FROM WASHINGTON Florida Special “ Arisocrae of Wincer Ef.Jan. 2 Trains.” New Recrea- tion Cars — , Dancing, Bridge, Hostess.

ULM WILL SEARCH FOR MISSING FLYERS Refuses to Abandon Hope for Her Husband, She Charters Schooner for Month’s Cruise. By the Associated Press. SYDNEY, New South Wales, De- cember 17.—Refusing to abandon hope for her husband, missing for two weeks on a trans-Pacific flight, Mrs. Charles T. P. Ulm chartered the schooner Lanakai today through the British consul in Honolulu to make a month’s search for him. The Lanakai will cruise about reefs and islands from Honolulu to Midway Island. Part of the £5,000 (about $25,000) grant the Australian govern- ment made Mrs. Ulm last week will finance the expedition. A close study was made of maps and admiralty charts of the region where Ulm and two companions were forced down near Hawaii on a flight from the United States. @ Cigarettes for smoker ever has which cigarette?

BERLIN (#).—A campaign is under way in Germany to assure the public that it need have no fears of a textile shortage, that there is no necessity of stocking up and hoarding clothes, and that under no circumstances are the “paper clothes” of World War days to return. One of the latest steps in this direc- tion was an impressive style show at one of the leading hotels, where dozens of Berlin’s most beautiful mannequins paraded in gowns and garments of various “artificial” materials. Synthetic Silks Shimmer. ‘The mannikins tripped down car- peted aisles, in the glare of spotlights, in Winter coats and frocks made of “artificial wool.” They shimmered in PARK AVENUE - Witi evening gowns of “artificial silks.” They demonstrated “lace” gowns, the materials for which Berlin society for the to purchase clothes of “German materials” as a matter of patriotic assistance to German econ- omy, as well as a proof to themselves that the materials were fully as good as imported textiles. Experts See Peril in Rain. That the “new” materials are as good ‘as claimed 1s being disputed, however, by some experts. They warn that the artificial wools, silks and laces created from chemical treatment and processing of wood and other in- gredients, may not survive severe weather tests, such as a good drench- ing in a rainstorm. In some quarters it is claimed that Germany’s foreign exchange situation soon will bring to a virtual stop all imports of textiles.
