REPRESENTATIVE BESTS STATE SENATOR LE GORE All Three Proposed Amendments Believed Adopted—Many Split Ticket. B: a Staff Correspondent ot The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., November 4.— Sweeping triumphantly through 26 of the 31 precincts, President Roosevelt carried Montgomery County by a pop- ular majority of 2,948 over Gov. Alf M. Landon in complete unofficial returns on the record-breaking vote cast in yesterday's election. Representative David J. Lewis, run- ning slightly behind the Democrat’s presidential standard bearer, neverthe- less went throught the county with a lead of 2,183 over State Senator Harry ‘W. LeGore, his youthful G. O. P. op- ponent, in his race for re-election to the House from the sixth Maryland district. Only fragmentary returns were available today on the three constitu- tional amendments, but indications pointed toward their indorsement by a large majority. The only area to vote{ against any of the three proposals on the basis of incomplete returns was the third Rockville precinct. The vote was 501 to 242 against creation of a fourth judgeship in the sixth circuit. Majority Under 1932. President Roosevelt was given 12,830 votes to 9,882 for Gov. Landon in the presidential fight, while Representative Lewis received 10,831 against 8,648 for Le Gore in carrying 25 of the 31 pre- cincts. The electorate cast 22,712 votes to shatter the previous record of 20,164 cast in the Roosevelt-Hoover contest of 1932, ‘The majority received by the Presi- dent was slightly less than the 3,506 by which he carried Montgomery four years ago. Only the second, fourth ‘and fifth precincts of Bethesda district and the seventh and ninth precincts in ‘Wheaton district fell into the Landon ecolumn yesterday, and the G. O. P. nominee’s triumph in those sectors had been expected by Democratic chief- tains. Many Split Ticket. Lewis won over Le Gore in all but the first, seventh and ninth precincts in Wheaton, the fifth Bethesda pre- cinct and the first precinct of Rock- ville district. Many voters split their tickets in the first Rockville, first Wheaton and fourth Bethesda precincts, Le Gore earrying the first two over Lewis, al- though Roosevelt received a majority in those sectors in the presidential race, while Lewis carried the fourth Bethesda precinct, where Landon polled a majority over the President. A controversy over the manner in which to compute the vote for the electoral college held up the tabula- tion in the third Bethesda precinct, Jocated at Glen Echo, for more than two hours last night but election | supervisors ironed out the difficulty | after the delay was reported to their | office in Rockville. | The proposed amendments would Telieve State bank stockholders of double liability, permit the Governor to appoint to vacancies in the State Legislature instead of calling special elections and create a fourth place on the bench of the sixth judicial cir- cuit, composed of Montgomery and Frederick Counties.

MARYLAND VOTES 3 AMENDMENTS, RETURNS INDICATE {Large Majorities Apparent, With 991 of 1,453 Poll- ing Places In. BALTIMORE COUNT LACKS ONE PRECINCT Abolition of Bank Stockholders’ Double Liability Clause Con- forms to U. S. Law. BY the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, November 4.—Three amendments to the State constitution apparently bore the approval of Mary=- land voters today. Returns from all but one of the Baltimore City polling places and from nearly half the county polling places indicated the amendments had carried by large majorities. The amendments would abolish the double liability of bank stockholders, provide an additional judge for the sixth judicial circuit and authorize the Governor to fill vacancies in the Legis- lature by appointment. On the basis of returns from 991 of the State’s 1,453 polling places the vote for these amendments stood: To abolish double liability—For, 120,735; against, 50,799. A majority of 69,936 for the amendment. For Circuit Judge. For additional sixth circuit judge: | For, 126,406; against, 34,610. A ma- | Jority of 91,796 for the amendment. For legislative appointments: For, 120,153; against, 35,248. A majority of 84,905 for the amendment. The three amendments were passed by the last Legislature, subject to ap- proval by the voters in a referendum. Abolition of the double-liability clause brings the State constitution into line with national law in this respect. Heretofore, in bank failures, stockholders have been liable to the depositors for twice the amount of stock they hold. Bankers contended the double-lia- bility clause made people wary of holding bank stock and thus made it difficult for the banks to raise cap- ital. Furthermore, the bankers claim the double liability is hard to collect. Approval of the amendment pro- viding an additional judge for the sixth circuit, composed of Frederick and Montgomery Counties, means there will be four instead of three Jurists in the circuit hereafter. Appointment of Judge. Gov. Harry W. Nice will appoint the added associate judge to serve until the next State-wide election, in 1938. Under the amendment authorizing the Governor to fill legislative va- cancies by appointment the necessity for special elections would be elim- inated. With approval of the amendment, the Governor is empowered to 8 point members of the House of Dele- gates or State Senate when vacancies oceur. The Governor’s appointee must be from the same county and of the same political party as the person whose place he fills. _— Roosevelt, 520; Le Gore, 282; Lewis, 409.

ROCKVILLE, Md., November 4— More than a score of Montgomery County residents were deprived of their votes in yesterday’s balloting under circumstances that officials of the board of election supervisors were at a loss to explain today. Stricken from the registration books were people who, election officers said, apparently had failed to answer cita- tions, but the disgruntled citizens de- clared they had failed to receive any notice of challenge. Their complaints, made to attaches at the supervisors’ headquarters in the court house, struck the only discordant note in one of the most peaceful and uneventful elections in Montgomery political history. Record Number Expected. The offigial canvass, beginning at noon tomorrow, is expected to reveal that between 90 and 95 per cent of the county’s 29,857 registered voters ap- peared at the polls during the day to set & new record. However, there was not the slightest semblance of disorder or confusion in handling the large crowds. Police de- clared that no complaints were re- ceived of trouble in the polls and the election passed without an arrest for disorderly conduct or other violations. John A. England, clerk of the super- visors, said the score or more residents who complained that their names had been struck frome the books hailed mainly from the suburban district im- mediately adjacent to Washington, but @ few were turned in from the rural areas also. “It appeared they lost their vote because of neglect on the part of some one, but there is nothing our board can do about it at this time,” he said. Personal Notice Required. England explained the law required registration officials to mail one chal- lenge to the last-known address of a person cited to show why their name should not be removed from the book, and further stipulated that another notice must be delivered in person to the challenged voter. “It may have been neglect on the part of some registration officials, or it may have been through oversight on the part of some who were chal- lenged,” a member of the board de- clared. “We can’t tell at this time just where the trouble lies.” One of those to lose his vote was & colored preacher who has resided in Rockville for years and who said he never received a citation of any de- scription, England added. The clerk said the only possible action on the part of those refused & vote yesterday would be to institute steps to have their names restored to registration records for subsequent elections. An unidentified woman who left her sick-bed to vote at the Bethesda County building went away disap- i H agaga i??gggs underwent an operation earlier in the week at Garfield Hospital. Maj. Cutler, a resident of Silver Spring, was removed from the hospi- tal on a stretcher, placed in an am- bulance and carried to the National Guard Armory in that town, where he voted for the President's re-election, The heavy voting by the county’s electorate prevailed in each of the 31 polling places. A record-breaking vote was cast in the farming area as well as in the suburban section bordering the National Capital. Crowds began to form at daybreak and continued in unbroken formation until booths were closed at 7 o'clock last night. FAIRFAX RALLIES BEHIND NEW DEAL County Gives Roosevelt Al- most 2-to-1 Majority Over Landon. Special Dispatch to The Star. FAIRFAX, Va., November 4.—Fair- fax County voters rallied behind the | New Deal yesterday, giving President Roosevelt an almost 2 to 1 majority over Gov. Landon, on the basis of un- official returns from all of the county’s 25 polling places. The unofficial tally gave President Roosevelt 2,910 votes and Landon 1,586. In the 1932 election President Roosevelt received 2,714 votes, against 1,368 for former Presideht Herbert Hoover. Approximately 4,500 ballots were cast in yesterday's election, which was one of the largest votes ever polled locally in s national election. The | number was about 300 more than the 1932 total. President Roosevelt car- ried every precinct. In the larger precincts the vote was closest at Vienna and Falls Church. At the former polling place the President received 273 votes against 220 for Gov. Landon and the vote at the latter was 269 to 214. Glass Leads Ticket. United States Senator Carter Glass, a candidate to succeed himself, re- ceived the high vote in the election, 3,540. Representative Howard W. Smith ranked second, 3,193 votes to 1,013 for his Republican opponent, John Locke Green of Arlington. The unofficial tally also gave Represent- ative Smith every precinct. Of the other presidential candi- dates, Dr. D. Leigh Colvin received 11 votes in the county; Norman ‘Thomas, 10; William Lemke, 10; John W. Aiken, 0, and Earl Browder, 1 George Rohlsen and Donald Burke, opposing Senator Carter Glass, re- ceived 219 and 128 votes, respectively, and F. A. Shelton, second opponent of Representative Smith, 72 votes. A scattering write-in vote was given several other persons.

VREINANS ELEET ALLCONGRESSWEN Democratic Sweep Includes Flannagan in Fighting Ninth District. B the Associated Press. RICHMOND, Va., November 4— Virginia returned a solidly Demo- cratic delegation to Congress in the Roosevelt landslide yesterday that brought out the heaviest vote in the history of the State. ‘The Democratic sweep included an unprecedented majority of mnearly 12,000 on the basis of incomplete re- turns for Representative John W. Flannagan in the “fighting ninth,” which ordinarily polls one of the State's heaviest Republican votes. With additional precincts to report from five counties, Flannagan led Luther W. Fuller, his Republican opponent, 26,298 to 14,410. Voters of the fifth, sixth and sev- enth districts, other vigorous cam- paigning centers, also approved the record of Democratic incumbents by almost 2 to 1 majorities. Results in the other five districts found Democrats running far ahead with the result never in doubt. Coincident with the selection of the slate of Democratic Congressmen, the Old Dominion re-elected Senator Carter Glass by an overwhelming ma- Jority over his two minor party oppo- nents, George Rohlsen, Socialist, and Donald Burke, Communist, The senior Virginia Senator, once given the sobriquet of “watchdog of the Treasury,” polled 191,035 votes in 1,498 reporting precincts out of the State's 1,704. His opponents together secured only a small fraction of that number. New Deal Supporter. Representative Clifton A. Woodrum of Roanoke, who based his campaign, like Flannagan, on an indorsement of the New Deal, defeated T. X. Pare sons, Republican, his former law parte ner, by approximately 9,000 votes. Parsons, former assistant United States attorney, made a spirited fight, and Republican leaders had counted the district among those in which they saw a possibility of capturing con- gressional seats. The vote, with four Bedford precincts missing, was Wood= rum, 25,160; Parsons, 16,316. Despite similarly aggressive Re- publican campaigns in the fifth and seventh, Democrats rolled up nearly 2- to-1 leads. Representative Thomas G. Burch of Martinsville was given 24,639 in 210 precincts out of 236, compared with State Senator Taylor G. Vaughan's 13,646. Representative A. Willis Robertson topped J. Everett ‘Will, Luray Republican, by almost the same count in the seventh, 24,242 to 13,578, with 12 precincts yet to be heard from. Remaining districts went over- whelmingly Democratic, in some in=- stances by even greater majorities than their supporters had predicted. Representative S. Otis Bland of New- port News was returned to office over William A. Dickinson, Cape Charles Republican, 20,151 to 4,393, with a number of polling stations. yet to re- rt. Norman R. Hamilton, who will be the only new Virginia Democrat in Congress, rolled up 29,268 votes to Gerould Rumble’s 3,312 in the sec- ond. Representative Andrew J. Mon- tague defeated Charles C. Wilson in the third by more than 23,000, with one precinct unreported; Represenia- tive Patrick H. Drewry was swept to & new term by almost a 15-to-1 edge in the fourth, and Representative How- ard W.

Returns were not altogether complete, but unreported precincts were not expected to change the totals anmm,-fiu / 223,000, the first district contributed 19,608, compared with 6,389 for Landon on the basis of near-complete returns. The second district voted 28,330 to 6,165 for Roosevelt; the third, 28.652 to 7417; the fourth, 19,275 to 3,179; the fifth, 25,511 to 13,165; the sixth, 26,901 to 14,977; the seventh, 23,480 to 15,199; the eighth, 27,097 to 12,344, and the ninth, 24,592 to 13,948. Final counts had not been made, ex- cept in the second, but the scattered precincts yet to come were expected to change the figures but slightly. The fourth district—the only one in Virginia to maintain its Democratic identity in the 1928 election that placed Virginia in the Republican column— returned the greatest Democratic ma- Jority for Roosevelt and its Democratic Representative. RECORD YOTE GAST INPRINGE GEORGES 85 Per Cent of Those on Registration Lists Cast Ballots. BY & Staft Correspondent ot The Scar. UPPER MARLBORO, Md.,, Novem- ber 4.—Prince Georges County’s voters, breaking all previous records for poll- ing volume, went to the ballot boxes in orderly procession yesterday as some 85 per cent of those on the reg- istered lists exercised the right of suffrage. Precinct workers, starting to “get out the vote” even before the booths opened at 7 a.m., found many of their party followers already at the polis without solicitation. ‘Throughout the 12-hour period crowds surrounding the 45 election places were good-natured. From mid- ‘morning to shortly after noon the pro- cession was heaviest. Police at Hyatts- ville and here reported no trouble calls to quell altercations or arrest ineb- riates. Political Leaders Surprised. Political leaders expressed surprise at the heavy volume. The county’s usual number approximates 70 per cent of the registered voters. In al- most every section of Prince Georges, from the heavily populated metropoli- tan area to the rural territory, ratios ranged from 80 to 90 per cent of the registrants. Favorable weather conditions, mark- ed by high temperatures, prompted trips to the polls. Although this year’s ballot in the county is a short one, the large number slowed totaling pro- cedure. Pirst results were announced by the K-Z alphabetical section from Marlboro district at 9:30 p.m., two and a half hours after ballot boxes were closed. 90 Per Cent Vote in Precinct. In the Bladensburg district voting percentages reached 90 in one pre- cinct, with lower ratios in the Hyatts- ville, Riverdale and Laurel areas. The voters not only broke previous records for volume, but also shattered the percentage-of-registrants figures. leaders were unable completely the increase.

RALPH W. POWERS WINS SEAT IN LEGISLATURE Only One Precinct Favors Landon. Gambrill’s Margin Jumps 1,500 Votes. BY GORDON EAMES BROWN, Staft Correspondent of The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., Novem- ber 4—Prince Georges County Re- publicans were swamped under a de- | luge of Democratic votes yesterday as New Deal followers gave Presi- dent Roosevelt & 7,000 majority, sup- ported Representative Stephen W. Gambrill by a like margin and voted 2 to 1 to send Ralph W. Powers of | Calvert Hills to the State Assembly. Even the mgst optimistic of party leaders were surprised at the one- sided returns, which increased the Federal administration’s 1932 balance of power by 2,000. Only one pre- cinct favored Landon, but that terri- tory, Seat Pleasant No. 3, had a reg- istration G. O. P. margin of 464. Results from all polling places gave the three Democrats a 2-to-1 edge. The other three presidential candi- dates, Thomas, Browder and Aiken, received less than 100 total votes. Trend Evident Early. The New Deal trend became evi- dent from the first totals reported when Marlboro district, registered as | a Republican territory, revealed a | Democratic edge. Heaviest Demo- cratic majorities came from the met- ropolitan area, with Spauldings No. 3 and Seat Pleasant No. 2 supporting Roosevelt 4 to 1. Gambrill's counfy-wide margin, which was 5,500 two years ago, jumped | ;w more than 7,000. He lost only two | precincts, Vansville and Seat Pleasant | No. 3. His “opponent was Roscoe Rowe of Anne Arundel County. According to registration figures, the county is Democratic by 7,309. Politi- cal observers, however, had predicted that the New Deal, although favored to take the majority, had lost some of its power exhibited in the 1932 elec- | tions. Pigures show that the opposite was true. In the choice for State Delegate, voters more strictly followed party lines, giving Powers a 5,000-vote edge | over Sherman Hollingsworth of Hy-| attsville. The victor lost four pre- cincts—Vansville, Nottingham, Mel- wood and Seat Pleasant No. 3. though he lost the Vansville district by only one vote, his defeat there was unexpected, since that area has a reg- istered Democratic margin. All Amendments Carried. All three proposed amendments were carried in Prince Georges. These State constitutional changes provide for ap- pointment of persons by the Governor to fill Assembly vacancies, an addi- tional judge in the sixth judicial cir- cuit in Prederick and Montgomery Counties and repeal of the State stockholders’ double liability clause. Landon and President Roosevelt re- ceived a tie vote in the Nottingham each. The heavy vote kept election officials tallying ballots until near day- break. It was estimated that more than 80 per cent of the registrants ‘went to the polls. ‘Totals from the 34 precincts show: Landon, 7,843; Roosevelt, 14,832; Rowe, 6,066; Gambrill, 13,133; Hol- lingsworth, 6,149; Powers, 11,150.

GREEN, NATIVE SON, DECISIVELY DEFEATED Representative Smith Scores Sure prise by Polling 2,714 More Votes Than Rival. By a Btaft Correspondent ot The Star. ARLINGTON, Va., Nomember 4.— Giving President Roosevelt the largest majority ever accorded a Democratie presidential candidate in Arlington County, voters here swung in with the general trend of the country to ape prove the present administration by an almost 7-4 majority at yesterday's polls. The final score was: Roosevelt, 4,795; Landon, 2,825, This 1,970 Democratic majority even exceeded the expectations of party leaders, who had not looked for victory by more than 1,000 votes. Their pre- dictions had been restrained by the close 1932 election, in which President Roosevelt defeated Herbert Hoover by only 479 votes. Smith Vote Surprises. Equally as unexpected was the large majority Arlington County gave Repe resentative Howard W. Smith, Demo= crat, in his contest with the Republi= can candidate, John Locke Green, & county resident, for the eighth Vire ginia district seat in the House of Representatives. Smith took 5,021 ballots to Green's 2,307 as voters in the county’s 11 precincts snowed their fellow resident under a 2,714 majority. The two substantial victories of Arlington County’s Democratic forces, indicated in early returns and sube stantiated by later results, were the spark for celebrations that got under way once the returns started showing the Roosevelt lead in all precincts. In the normally Republican Carne precinct the closest contest in presie dential voting took place. Here Gov. Landon received 309 votes to Roose= velt’s 325.° All other precincts in Arlington gave the Democratic candie date majorities of 2 to 1 and 3 to 2. Both Parties Back Glass.
