HOOVER'S VOTE LARGEST EVER (Continued from First Page) senate, the republicans held every-; one of thelr 13 seats at stake in this | election and captured six of the democratic seats involved in the con- | test. Indications were that the seventh seat would be lost by the democrats in West Virginia where Senator Neely is still trailing his re- publican opponent, Henry D. Hal- | tield. | While Herbert Hoover has brok- en the democratic south, the dumo-" crats there have held tenaciously to wost of their congressional repre- | sentation. Kentucky which went overwhelmingly for Hoover also re- | placed six democratic house mem- | bers with republicans and this ac- | counted for the major gain of the republicans in the house. | Virginia for the first time in years | will have three republican hous members and a fourth is still possi- ble with the tenth district in doubt. North Carolina has elccted one re- publican to the house and several districts have reported close con- lesta. Dosnite the republican sweep, ¢ jomocrats in the north re- . . republicans. This honor Is ied by Louis Ludlow, newspa- potmien, of Indiana, who defeated Iiepresentative Updike in the In- dianapolis district; Jercmiah O'Con- nell who defeated Representative Monast in the third Rhode Island district and Joel Smith who broke the republican sweep in West Vir- ginia to upset Represcntative Eng- land in the sixth district. A contest is on in Fhiladelphia where Representative James M. Beck was running close to his demo- cratic opponent in the first Pennsyl- vania district, William L. Rooney.

Cook county voters regard the re- mains of the machine of Mayor Thompson and State's Attorney Rob- ert E, Crowe, crushed by the steam roller of ballots Tuesday. The machine was badly shaken in vital spots in April at the primary. Not a candidate of the ring survived the election. Judge John A. Swanson, backed by the republican faction of Sena- tor Charles 8. Deneen opposing the Crowe-Thompson alliance, was chos- en by a plurality of 141,363 over Judge Willlam J. Lindsay, dengocrat. | Both men campaigned on the issue of breaking the alliance between gangland and politics.

Resentment to certain of the objections raised against Governor Smith is thought to have swung much of the Polish vote to the democrats. Published statements by George T. Kimball, president of the Ameri- can Hardware Corp., and of Charles | F. Smith, chairman of the board of | directors of Landers, Frary & Clark, | are considercd by some cf the dem cratic leaders to have placed tariff | before the clectorate as an outstand- |ing issue. Imported Speakers Ineffectual It is generally conceded that the| factory gate rallies conducted by| Patrick 1. Conway of Philadelphia, |Pa., and Col. H. Russell Wood of artford, reacted against the re- publican party instead of adding strength. Mr. Conway's word pic- ture of hungry men and women, soup kitchens, bread lines and chil- dren picking up crumbs in the street was ridiculed, while Col. Wood, al- | |though given less to dramatic ap- |peal, found his factory groups al- eady in a mood for cheering Gov- ernor Smith's cause. Attendance at democratic rallies through the campaign was mucg greater than at republican gather- | ings. Much of this was due to the | appearance of the popular “Political | | Follies” minstrel show, but the dem- | ocratic speakers nevertheless had {large opportunity to plead the cause | of their candidates. | New Britain democrats are shar-| ing the rebellious feeling against | their southern brethren which s |gencral in the northern states since {the “solid south” failed to maintain its democratic solidity. One demo- crat today facetiously expressed his | sentiment toward his party, nation- |a by saying: “Four years from Tuesday, when T go to the polls to vote for a president, Il be able to| walk into the booth on my knees and reach the lever I'll pull. i | No High Hats— | | (Copyright, 1928, NEA Service, Inc.)
