19 AR ELECTED, 6 MORE LEADING Republicans Are Victorious in Two States—Ahead in Four Others. BY the Assoclated Press. Democrats captured at least 19 of the 33 governorships at stake and were leading for 6 more today as the election returns rapidly neared com- pletion. Republicans were victorious in two States—Vermont and New Hamp- shire—and were leading in four others, Jowa, North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana. Fitzgerald Loses Lead. President Roosevelt's coast-to-coast sweep yesterday apparehtly assured Democratic gubernatorial triumphs in Arkansas, Arizona, Indiana, Tennes- see, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Ne- braska, New York, North Carolina, ‘Texas, Georgia, Rhode Island, Idaho, Ohio, Washington and Utah. In Michigan Gov. Frank D. Fitz- gerald, who had led Democratic Frank Murphy, on leave as high com- missioner of the Philippines, in the early returns. went down to defeat. Gov. Philip La Follette of Wisconsin had a substantial lead for re-election on the Progressive ticket, and in Min- nesota Elmer Benson, Farmer-Laborite, who supported the New Deal, was far in advance of the Republican op- ponent. There was no Democratic candidate for the office. Lehman Victory Conceded. Victory was conceded to Gov. bert H. Lehman of New York by Wil- liam F. Bleakley, the Republican nom- inee, in a race that attracted Nation- | Running for re-elec- | wide attention. tion at the urgent request of national Democratic leaders Lehman clung to his slim advantage from the beginning of the count. Connecticut’s professor - Governor, n4-year-old Wilbur L. Cross, carried the Democratic standard to another victory as he piled up an overwhelm- ing lead over Arthur M. Brown, and a Rhode Island Democrat, Robert E. Quinn, won decisively from Charles P. Sisson, Republican. Re-election of youthful James V. All- | red was unchallenged in Texas, and E. D. Rivers was opposed only by L. P. Glass, Prohibition candidate in Georgia, another solidly Democratic | State. The margin of Gordon Browning, Democratic nominee in Tennessee, w beyond dispute from the hour the vot- ing booths closed. Cone Vote Six Times That of Foe. In Florida Fren P. Cone polled nearly six times as many ballots as E. E. Callaway, Republican standard | bearer, on the face of incomplete re- ports. In Washington State the Democratic candidate, Clarence D. Martin, was| victorious over Roland H. Hartley, Re- | publican.

Quinn | NORRIS APPARENT NEBRASKA VIGTOR State’s Four Democratic and One Republican Rep- resentatives Leading. BY the Associated Press. LINCOLN, Nebr, November 4.— Agricultural Nebraska gave its seven electoral votes to President Roosevelt and apparently re-elected Senator George W. Norris, Independent, and Gov. R. L. Cochran, Democrat. ‘The State’s four Democratic and one Republican Representative headed for re-election by comfortable margins. Leo N. Swanson, Republican nomi- nee for land commissioner, apparently was re-elected, but votes on a pro- posed constitutional amendment to abolish his office leaned toward aboli- tion. An amendment to repeal double liability for State bank stockholders was trailing. ‘The victory, though his fifth for Senator, following five terms as Rep- resentative, was based on the most unusual political alignment of Norris’ career. All his other contests were made on the Republican ticket. This time he ran as an independent, ac- cepting a petition filing made by 40,000 Nebraskans. Democrats Worked for Him. He said at 75 he was ready to retire. President Roosevelt led a Nation-wide appeal of liberal leaders that he run again. Roosevelt came to Nebraska to speak for Norris. The Democratic National and State Committees worked for him. The Roosevelt All-Party Agricultural Committee and labor’s Non-Partisan League contributed the bulk of his campaign expenses. To Roosevelt's classification of Nor- ris as one of the Nation's five great- est living statesmen, were added cam- paign words from assorted partisans. William Allen White, close friend of | Gov. Alf M. Landon, rated Norris as | one of the greatest Senators in Amer- ican history and former Gov. Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania cancelled a | Nebraska campaign speech for Lan- don when told he couldn't talk for:| Norns. Strong Opposition Given. | Two former Representatives with | formidable followings opposed Norris. Terry Carpenter of Scottsbluff, 36- year-old Democratic nominee who | idolized Norris formerly and last Fall offered to withdraw in Norris' favor, but later changed his mind. He ran | with Townsend and Union party sup- 'port and was a poor third. | Robert G. Simmons of Lincoln, 44 | years old, Republican nominee, car- ried the burden of the Landon cam- | paign in Nebraska but went down | with the national ticket.

VICTOR IN'IDAHO Veteran Senator Re-elected as Democrats Sweep Other Offices. BY the Assoclated Press. BOISE, Idaho, November 4.—Sen- ator Willlam E. Borah, “Lone Wolf” of American politics, was the lone Re- publican survivor today amid a vote avalanche that swept Democrats into all State offices and gave Idaho's four elelcwml votes to Franklin D. Roose- velt. The 71-year-old veteran of 30 years in the United States Senate outdis- tanced his Democratic rival, Gov. C. Ben Ross, nearly two to one, with more than halt the vote counted. Returns from 487 of 793 precincts gave Borah 61,010, Ross 37,532, Parallels Roosevelt Vote. Borah's vote closely paralleled that of President Roosevelt, who polled 63,156 to 33,165 for Landon in the | same 487 Idaho precincts. Lemke re- ceived 1,238, State Democratic Chairman Ira Taylor conceded Borah’s election in | & statement saying the Senator's vice | tory “indicated the esteem with which he is held by the people of the State as well as the Nation.” The heavy vote—estimated vari- | ously by party leaders at from 180,000 | to 200.000—sent Barzilla W. Clark, a | municipal power advocate, into the | Governor's chair and apparently headed two Democratic incumbent | Representatives, D. Worth Clark and Cnmplnn 1. White, back to Washing- | ton for another two years. Sticks to Issues. During the campaign, in which he | refused to leave Idaho to speak for “any candidate,” Borah stuck, as he | said, “to issues—as I always have done.” Money, monopoly, tariff, world peace —these were his freqquent themes ina vigorous drive that carried him from east to west and from one end of the State to the other. | About the nearest he came to mak- ing a public statement bearing on the national campaign was after the Roosevelt clean-sweep became an ap- | parent fact.
