GALIFORNIA'S LEAD EXCEEDS 500000 Returns, Nearly Two-Thirds In, Show Roosevelt 3 to 1 in; San Francisco. B the Assoclated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, November 4 —A pular majority of over half a mil- gin votes—closely following Califor- nia’s mighty Democratic registration— swept the State's 22 electoral votes into the landslide for President Roose- wvelt today, with election returns nearly two-thirds fabulated. Complete and incomplete returns from 7,868 of the State’s 11,716 pre- cincts gave the President 1,001,400 wvotes to 484,207 for Gov. Alf M. Lan- <on. The majority of more than 500,000 eompared to the Democratic majority in registrations for the election of more than 637,000 San Francisco voted three to one for the President. Los Angeles County, home of Pen- sioner Dr. F. E. Townsend, who urged his California followers to vote for Landon, gave Roosevelt 451,976 votes to 227549 for the Kansas Governor in 3047 of 4.262 precincts. Landon | made a campaign . address in Los Angeles. In the 7868 precincts tabulated, President Roosevelt received 67 per cent of the popular vote. In 1932, his percentage in complete returns was 58 to 37 per cent for Hoover, Voters turned out in such numbers that the record total of 2,172,059, cast | for the major party candidates in | 1932, may be exceeded. The Democrats gained congressional strength. One veteran Republican Representa- | tive, Florence P. Kahn, was defeated by a newcomer, Franck Havenner, Democratic San Francisco city-county supervisor. Collier (Continued From Eighth Page.) was telling a gathering at Newark, N. J, that liberty was endangered. | The President bitterly excoriated what he termed an attempt by a handful of employers to “sabotage” the social security act, when he faced a large audience in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., | on October 29. The same day John Hamilton, Republican chairman, dis- puted the President’s claim that so- cial security funds collected from the workers and employers were to be placed in a special trust fund, con- tending they would go into the gen- eral fund of the Treasury. Seizing upon the President’s refusal to discuss with the press his N. R. A. attitude, Landon made the most of it st Madison Square Garden on Octo- ber 29. He challenged Roosevelt to *tell us where you stand” on N. R. A,, A. A. A. and Executive powers, adding, *No one can be sure.” Ignoring the challenge, the Presi- | dent reviewed the achievements of the New Deal before an enthusiastic as- semblage in Brooklyn on October 30. | The candidates themselves summed up the issues of the campaign in their | Jast major appeals to the voters on Halloween. Roosevelt's Statement. 'The paramount issue, according to President Roosevelt's address to a cheering throng in Madison Square | Garden, was the “preservation” of the victory won by the people in 1832 when they “restored” Qmencun democracy, The chief issue, as explained to & vast crowd in St. Louis by Gov. Lan- don, was “restoration of good gov- ernment.” ! Roosevelt enumerated objectives of the New Deal as betterment of labor, farm conditions, the unemployed sit- uation, rome owners, social security and banking. Landon said the Republican goal | was “full recovery and re-employ~ ment” through “unshackling” of “pri- vate enterprise and initiative” and economy in government, Both candidates voiced eleventh- hour “reminders” of the issues in brief radio addresses on election eve. —_— | Lincoln (Continued From Pirst Page.L—_ the votes from the country and smal- ler towns. Roosevelt’s appeal to labor, or- | ganized and unorganized, and to many | of the small business men was well understood. Republican efforts to stem this tide with a last-minute cam- paign against the pay roll tax, taken from the workers’ wages after January 1 to met the costs of old-age pensions, proved ineffective, The labor vote ap- parently was set. Even Takes Connecticut. Starting with the “solid South” as @ nest egg, with 146 electoral votes, .« President Roosevelt rolled up early * Jeads in all the great populous States of the North and Middle West, in- cluding New York, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana. Even in rock-ribbed Republican Connecticut Roosevelt ran ahead of Landon by 100,000 votes. Connecticul was one of the six States that stood by Her- bert Hoover in the Roosevelt land- slide of 1932. “ The overwhelming vote of support given the Roosevelt New Deal was staggering to the Republicans, who concentrated their fire on the Roose- velt spending program. Aided by old- line Democrats, who were unwilling to go along with the Roosevelt pro- gram, the Republicans believed they had a chance to upset the New Deal ‘apple cart. It was in vain that Al ‘Smith and John W. Davis, both for- mer presidential nominees of the Democratic party, campaigned against the re-election of President Roosevelt. Record Vote Exceeded. ‘The vote cast yesterday will exceed by several millions that of 1932, when all records for earlier election figures had been broken. The great increase in registration, judging from the re- turns, was clearly in favor of Roose- velt, thereby upsetting an old political axiom that the voters only come out in great numbers when there is & pro- test against the party in power, It was in vain that the Republicans sought to stem the New Deal tide by EDUCATIONAL.

The voters either did not take them seriously or did not care, Everywhere the people gave the Pres- ident credit for trying to help them out of the mess in which the depres- sion of 1929 and the ensuing years had left them. Business Data Aids Roosevelt. ‘The betterment in business through- out the country during the last year proved, also, a great asset to the Roosevelt ticket. Th? people who gave this matter their attention apparently decided that it was better not to swap horses while on their way to greater prosperity than they had known for half a dozen years. One thing that the election clearly demonstrated—the voters were not to be turned aside from the contest be- tween the Republican and Democratic parties. William Lemke, the presiden- tial candidate of the Union party, sponsored by Father Coughlin and his Union for Social Justice, got no- where. The Lemke vote, even in his home State, North Dakota, was incon- siderable. Democratic and Republican leaders today were assaying the results of yesterday's election. The Democrats were overjoyed. The Republioans were completely stunned. The G. O. P. leaders had been extremely confident that Landon would make & good show- ing and some of them, including John Hamilton, the chairman of the Na- tional Committee, had been confident that the Kansas Governor would be | elected President. They had believed that a great undercurrent of anti- Roosevelt sentiment was at work. Landon Slow to Concede. Not until early this morning was and Hamilton, his campaign manager, continued to insist that the later re- turns from the rural districts would show Landon a winner in many States. He had maintained this attitude, al- | though strong supporters of Landon had early in the evening conceded the Landon cause was hopeless, among them the Kansas City Star, the Chi- cago Tribune, the New York Ameri- can, owned by William Randolph Hearst, and the Chicago Daily News, | Gov. Landon ready to concede defeat | tion.

Frank Knox, Republican vice presidential candidate. Chairman James A, Farley of the Democratic National Committee, on furlough during the campaign from his post as head of the Post Office De- partment, expressed the opinion to- day that the Roosevelt program would now go forward to completion. He insisted that “nobody on our side of the fence has any thought of reprisal or repression.” “We now look forward,” said Far- ley, “to four years of uninterrurted effort tc accomplish the completion of economic recovery, of industrial wel- fare and of the permanent establish- ment of real liberty in the United States.” Sees Non-Partisan Triumph, He insisted that the victory had not been a partisan triumph, although won under the Democratic banner, “The size of the majorities, both the popular arid the electoral college ma- Jorities, make it plain that it was principle and not party that was sus- tained in the voting. I do not think that any body will doubt the spirit of liberalism that actuated our citi- zens.” Chairman Hamilton issued a state ment after Landon had conceded de- feat, which he prefaced by saying that it was his “closing speech of the 1936 campaign.” He said: “Gov. Landon has sent his message to the President, whose re-election is | assured. None of those who have stood shoulder to shoulder in this fight need have regrets or fears, for and courageously followed the dic- tates of their conscience. | “Under our form of government al militant and a vigilant minority has | a vital service to render to the Na- | Independents who find common cause with us, will not fail in that oblm-} When Hamilton approached the radio men to make his statement he; said: | “Gentlemen, we who are about to | die salute you.” Nothing was more significant of the Democratic sweep than the results in Philadelphia, which Roosevelt earried D. by almost 200,000. The Democrats made a clean sweep in the seven con- gressional districts in Philadelphia County. Pennsylvania was one of the States which remained in the Repub- lican column in 1932, giving Hoover & lead at that time of about 157,000. House (Continued From First Page.)
