THE . EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1936. A—S NOISY THRONGS SURGE THROUGH CAPITAL STREETS CAPITAL I]lSPlAYS MARDI GRAS SPIRIT Gay Throngs Surge Through Streets as Democrats Acclaim Victory. With jubilation reminiscent of the recent Halloween, thousands of citi- wens of the voteless Capital surged noisily through downtown streets and hotels as approaching midnight brought certainty of a Roosevelt land- slide. There was a veritable New Deal mardi gras as enthusiastic Democrats, convinced of a smashing victory for their chief, vociferously shouted, sang and honked their acclaim. All that was lacking were gay costumes and confetti to give the rejoicing the as- pect of a long-awaited festival. Jams of traffic moved slowly along F street and Pennsylvania avenue as scores of policemen strove vainly in the din to untangle the masses of cars. The street celebration did not really get under way until almost midnight and continued for a couple of hours, but in the various hotels and night clubs the hilarity went far into the early morning. Crowd Is Orderly. For the most part, the crowd was good-natured and orderly. A few fights, quickly quelled by police, were scarcely noticed in the general cele- bration. The most enthusiastic of the formal | | Democratic celebrations was at the Hamilton Hotel, where the Democratic League of the District held sway. Ar- thur Clarendon Smith, chairman of the league, said he planned for 300 persons and suddenly found a couple of thousand on his hands. Speeches, scheduled far in advance, were banned by the clamor of the crowd, but parts of the floor show were | put on. Most of the Democrats attending the affair early left the room where the returns were coming in, confident o(] the outcome, and spent the remainder | of the evening dancing and in gen- | eral merry-making. Election Returns Supplied. Many of the other hotels and night €lubs furnished special election in- formation by loudspeakers. There was a big election celebration at the Shoreham for both Democrats and Republicans with a number of poli- | ticians on hand. The Democratic National Headquar- | ters in the Press Building was in| noisy contrast to the gloomy quiet of the hearquarters of the Republican National Committee at 718 Jackson place. In the latter offices, only em- ployes, their friends and relatives were assembled to get election information | over a leased wire. The progress of the voting was recorded on a large | blackboard. Swarms of persons filled the ex- tensive suite occupied by the Demo- cratic Committee and radios blared in half a dozen rooms. A battery of tele- phone operators were kept on the Jump until well after midnight. A midnight supper for the select few was held in the Democratic stronghold. The big stone house at 1500 Rhode Island avenue, which has been dubbed *“Democratic Headquarters” by the Central Committee, the Democratic Women’s National Council and the Democratic local and State clubs /| which occupy it, resounded for hours | with the cheers of hundreds of New; Dealers assembled there to listen to | the returns, announced by Arch M- | Donald, of radio fame, and John B. Colpoys, Central Committee chairman. G. 0. P. Crowd Gathers. } At Scott Circle, a block away, the | Old Guard faithful gathered under the auspices of the National Cnpiull Republican Club to listen to the re- turns. Instead of the blaring loudspeaker of the Democratic headquarters, a radio, tuned to a low pitch, informed a small group gathered around it of the election’s progress. The rest of the considerable crowd engaged in conversation over doughnuts, coffee and cider. The only other gathering place for Republicans was the Landon and Knox Campaign Club, at 1413 H street. ‘There, Edward F. Colladay, Repub- | lican national committeeman; James | C. Wilkes, chairman of the Central Committee, and Mrs. Virginia White Speel held sway. There were refresh- | ments for those who stayed to listen to the returns. A reception was staged at 1410 G street, where the Democratic National Absentee Voters' Bureau was located, and late in the evening there was a dance. Perhaps one of the largest celebra- tions was at the National Press Club, which held open house, with free beer for all. Senate (Continued From First Page.) Benate, Robinson of Arkansas, was riding toward re-election with a sub- stantial majority, and Senator Mc- Nary of Oregon, Republican floor leader, also 1s ahead of his Democratic opponent, Willis Mahoney. McNary, however, found himself in a close con- test, in a State where the Democratic presidential ticket mustered consider- Able strength. The Senate’s dean, and its most eloquent orator, William E. Borah, Republican, of Idaho has a comfort- able lead for re-election, despite the fact that his State joined in the Roosevelt electoral vote parade. Borah stuck to issues in his campaign for re-election without taking the stump for either of the major presidential candidates. Interest in the senatorial situation today centered largely in Nebraska, where the veteran Western progres- sive, George W. Norris, was forging steadily ahead in his three-cornered battle with Robert G. Simmons, Re- publican, and. Terry Carpenter, Demo- cratic aspirant. Although he has heretofore sought election as a Re- publican, Norris has made a record |she was from South Carolina. NEW DEAL SWEEP | STARTLES CAPITAL Callers Shocked or Jubilant at Word of Democratic Landslide. A first-hand insight into the emo- tional response of Washingtonians to the overwhelming Roosevelt landslide was the reward of 16 Star reporters who manned & battery of information telephones last night and early today, handling for a time a record total of nearly 2,000 calls per hour, Expressions ranging from shocked incredulity to intense jubilation rang in the ears of the men and women who handled the special telephone in- formation service as the Roosevelt tide washed State after State away from the Landon column. One woman, hearing that Roosevelt apparently was running away with a number of the supposedly certain Re- publican States, gasped and dropped the telephone with a clatter which made the reporter jump. He heard loud cheers. The woman picked up the telephone again and said, apolo- getically: “Excuse me; they were Democrats.” Told that Roosevelt was piling up 2 commanding lead in Connecticut, a masculine caller replied politely: “I'm sorry, I don't think you under- stood me. I am asking about Con- | necticut.” He was assured that the reporter was speaking of Conpecticut. The caller was obdurate. “I mean Connecticut,” he said, “C-0-n-n, ete., Connecticut—how is Connecticut go- ing?” He was told again that Roose~ velt was leading in “C-0-n-n" and the rest of it. “Well, I'll be darned,” he said, weakly, and hung up. Hopes for “Terrible Upset.” Another caller, a lady, told that Roosevelt was leading by about twe to one, early in the evening, n.sped in- dignantly. “I hope,” she said, “there will be a terrible upset.” One of the information men re- ceived a call, apparently from a col- ored woman. She said that she wanted to vote for Mr. Roosevelt; that Her husband, she said, told her to call up her vote. It was then 10 p.m. A whoop of Tarzan-like rejoicing deafened the ear of another reporter. “My gosh,” the caller yelled, “I've won $40.” One lady caller was very suspicious. “I'm not going to be so sure about this thing,” she said when told Roose- velt was leading. *“You may remem- ber that in 1916 everybody went to bed thinking Hughes was elected, and when they woke up it was Wilson who had won. How do I know I won’t go to sleep ahd find Landon is elected?” One of the telephone crew said that two ‘callers—he is*sure they were dif- ferent persons—reacted identicshy. “Ha, ha,” they chortled, “when is The Star going to concede the election?” Willl Be “Good Laser.” A woman who apparently wanted to | make certain she was not sailing un- der false colors opened her request for information with the bald state- ment: “I am a Republican.” She was told that it apparently was not an auspicious time for Republicans, “Well,” she replied, “I'll be a good | loser.” Told that at the time Roosevelt | was amassing a lead in Iowa, a caller exclaimed in surprise: “What! Did it rain in Iowa today?” A girlish voice breathed into the | ear of one of the reporters a sincere apology for taking up his time—she knew he “must be very, very busy.” Then she went off into & fit of gig- gling, and many, many minutes were | consumed before she could get set- tled down and communicate her re- quest. And so0 it went, hour after hour—an unceasing floor of calls which almdst | swamped telephone operators and in- | formation service from early ¢venlnl\ until long after midnight. Finally, at 2 am, a man called for general results. He was told that both Landon and Hamilton had con- ceded defeat, and that Roosevelt at the moment was leading in 45 States. “Well,” replied the caller judiciously, “do you know what I think I will do | in that case?” “No,” the reporter replied, “I can’t | say that I do.” “I think that I will say ‘Wahoo!” * “That,” the reporter replied, “sounds like a pretty good idea. Suppose you do that.” “Wahoo!” -said the caller, and he hung up. — HOOVER IS SILENT Declines Comment on Returns of Election.

It was the first time | in Washington radio history that such | an arrangement was made to prevent any delay whatsoever in transmission of the returns as they flowed into The Star over Associated Press wires, tele- graph lines, and by telephone from staff correspondents in Maryland and Virginia. So expeditious was this service that, as gauged by’ a special checkup by | Philip Merryman, operations super- | visor of the Washington division of the National Broadcasting Co., The Star’s returns were from 2 to 30 min- utes ahead of all other election broad- | casts. Merryman remained by the appa-| ratus in The Star offices the entire time The Star was on the air, period- ically from 6 p.m. yesterday to 2 a.m. today, keeping a close check on the unusual operation, and directing the necessary shifts at times to the net- work broadcast. “The National Broadcasting Co.” said Merryman,s “wanted to provide The Star with facilities that would give the quickest possible access to its radio audience over WMAL and at the same time be sure that important spe- cial programs such as statements by Chairmen Hamilton of the Republican National Committee and Farley of the Democratic National Committee as well as those of President Roosevelt warts rode to easy victories in the solid South, where nomination in the primaries is virtually equivalent to election. Included in this group were Pat Harrison of Mississippi, chairman of the important Finance Committee; Byrnes of South Carolina, who fre- quently has been in the forefront of New Deal legislative battles, and Bankhead of Alabama, who has been active in farm legislation during the past three years. Virginia returned its distinguished Democratic stateman, Carter Glass, to the Senate for another term, and in North Carolina Senator Bailey, Democrat, also was heading safely toward re-election on latest returns.

Latest returns indicate a close finish, with the result still in doubt, between Lundeen and Christianson. The election in Minnesota was en- livened by the coalition between the New Deal and Farmer-Labor leaders, under which Democratic candidates for Senator and Governor withdrew. The aim of the coalition was to give Roosevelt the electoral vote and help Farmer-Laborites win State offices.

This system gave The Star and WMAL the most complete, effective and speedy radio coverage ever provided a radio audience. “At the end of the long vigil the radio crew complained of sore ears from wearing the tight-fitting head- phone bands.

In Colorado final returns are still being awaited in the contest between Gov. Ed C.

Like Abou Ben Adem, comes to predictions, the name of James A. Farley leads all of the rest. In their claims of victory the Demo- cratic and Republican national chair- men predicted: Farley—"President Roosevelt will carry every State except Maine and Vermont.” John D. M. Hamilton—"The abso- lute minimum is 320 (electoral) votes | for the Republican national ticket and in no way surprising.” ‘Three of the national forecasts were those of the New York Times, the | Literary Digest and the American In- stitute of Public Opinion, conducted by Dr. George H. Gallup. Times Gave Roosevelt 406. ‘The Times, after a survey of po- litical observers in every State, and | the Institute of Public Opinion, after & poll, both forecast President Roose- velt’s re-election. The institute poll declared that only Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire were certain for Landon, but listed two States as un- certain and three probably Republi- can. The Times' survey indicated Mr. Roosevelt probably would win 406 electoral votes. The Literary Digest poll, which forecast the winner in the three pre- vious presidential elections, last week gave Landon 370 electoral votes from 32 States and Roosevelt 161 electoral votes from 16 States. After President Roosevelt's re- election became & certainty, Wilfred J. Funk, editor of the Digest, said: “We may not have reached a repre- sentative cross section of the popu- lation in distributing the ballots. Shift in Sentiment Held Possible. “On the other hand, the last re- turns were received some weeks ago, and there may have been a shiff in voting sentiment since then. What we will do now is try to figure out which happened, as a guide to our future policy.” The poll was constructed, Funk said, from almost 2,500,000 ballots re- turned from 10,000,000 distributed “among every class in the country.” “Don’t get me wrong,” he added. “My personal belief was that Roose- velt would win. I thought it would be close.” He laughed and said: “That's to show I cantake it.” The Baltimore Sun conducted & poll of all registered voters in Mary- land which correctly forecast that Roosevelt would carry the State. ‘The New York Daily News in a State-wide poll estimated President Roosevelt would receive a State plurality of more than 1,000,000, an estimate borne out by the vote.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., November 4.— | Sweeping majorities placed Connecti- cut's presidential electors in the Democratic column today for the first time since 1912 and returned Gov. | Wilbur L. Cross to office for a fourth successive term. ‘The State, which he lost to Presi- dent Hoover four years ago by 6,788, | gave President Roosevelt its eight electoral votes by an unofficial ma- Jority of more than 100,000 in yester- | day’s election. Almost as impressive was the victory scored by the T74-year-old Governor, retired dean of the Yale Graduate School, and the rest of the Democratic State slate. For the first time in its history Con- necticut elected also an all-Democratic Representatives to join the State's two Democratic Senators in Congress. Near-Record Victory.

In 193¢ Cross became the first Democrat ever to be elected Governor | for three successive terms. By his latest victory he became the first Chief Executive since the Civil War to win the office for more than six years. One of the victims of epochal Dem- ocratic landslide was the veteran Re- publican Schuyleg Merritt, who lost his House seat in Congress to Alfred N. Phillips, former Mayor of Stam- ford. The four Democratic incumbents were re-elected by wide margins, Wil- liam M. Citron from the State at large, Herman P. Kopplemann in the first, James A. Shanley in the third and J. Joseph Smith in the fifth. Closest Congressional Fight. Closest of the fights for congres- sional seats was in the second district, where Fitzgerald polled 55,386 votes and Dr. Higgins, former Secretary of State, 50,347 votes. Re-elected to State offices with Gov. Cross were Lieut. Gov. Prank Hayes, Secretary of State C. John Satti, State Treasurer John S. Addis and State Controller Charles C. Swartz. Democrats also won commanding control of the State Senate and be- came assured of a one-vote majority in that House for the special session of the General Assembly which will convene tomorrow to begin considera- tion of a proposed unemployment in- surance act. Of the estimated 750,000 eligible voters, approximately 700,000 cast ballots. melm J.HI Chapman FUEL OIL 31 N St. N.W. LLINOIS WIDENS PRESIDENT'S LEAD Democratic Assault on G. 0. P.
