The late returns have served only to emphasize the immensity of the Reublican sweep that, embraced the entire west and most of the east and also extended into four traditi onaily j democratic states of the south?Virginia. North Carolina, Florida and Texas. With less than a scattered quarter j J of the nation's precincts remaining uncounted, the Hoover majorities have rolled up in 40 states. Smith held the "lead in eight others, six of " them in the south and two in the . east, Massnchusetts and Rhode Is- | land. Only Alabama, Georgia, South | Carolina, /.ussissippi.
