ROOSEVELT WINS 42 STATES
HOOVER GETS SIX
i ? ?
Biggest Democratic Victory in Recollec
tion of Oldest Voters-Make Big Gains
In Congress and Senate.
New York, Nov. 9- ? Gover
nor Franklin Delano Roose
velt's victory Btands without
parallel in a century of Ameri
can history. He left to his van
quished opponent only six
states with 59 electoral votes.
He won the -Other 42 states and
their 472 electoral votes.
Of 30,000, 000 Votes tabulat
ed by the United Press up to
the time this dispatch was
written, Roosevelt had 17,107,
331; Hoover 12,321,164; Thom
as 372,646.
This victory, exceeding
fondest Democratic hppes, was
interpreted by the new Presi
dent-elect today as an expres
sion of liberal thought and a
national mandate transcending
party lines. He asked all to
help in the task of restoration.
HttHif Wtrands
There was a definite attempt to
l eal the wound* of the campaign
when Roosevelt, in thanking Presi
dent Hoover for the message of con
gratulation. said he Joined in "your
gracious expression of a common
purpose in helpful efforts for our
country."
This thought was echoed by Will
Hayes, Postmaster General In the
Hhrding administration. He said the
principal business of Republicans Wtts
to help make good the promise of
early employment and prosperty made
by both parties.
"In a way the army is loyal to
whomever Is in command," he said.
Newspaper editorials in leading Re
publican organs echoed this thought.
The wrecking /of the Republican
party Involved the defeat for re-elec
tion of the chief Republican wheel
horses in the Senate ? Watson of In
diana, Moses of New Hampshire,
Sinoot of Utah, and Jones of Wash
ington.
Beer Qaestlon
The first effect- of this complete
overthrow It to force the beer Ques
tion to an Issue,
"Beer by Christmas" was the ex
treme wet's firat jubilant cry after
the wet-Democratlo landslide that
swept Roosevelt into undisputed pow
er. Drys retorted, instantly that there
would be a fight? they prepared to
fight as never before.
California even prepared the way
for possible repeal of the Blghteetljh
Amendment in a referendum yeste?
day. The State dry act was repealed
&nd In its place a provision was
adopted providing for state regula
tion of liquor sales and distributed
in event the Eighteenth Amendment
is repealed.
Oregon,* in a similar swing, repeal
ed the rigorous state dry act whieh
it passed in 1916, prior to Federal
prohibition, and left the problem of
enforcement . entirely in Federal
hands.
In a United Press symposium, Sen
ators and Congressmen indicated di
vided views as to whether restora
tion of beor Vould be attompted in the
short session. It was indicated that
a hard fight will arise over the defi
nition of beer and the alcoholic con
tent permissible under the Eighteenth
Amendment.
Robinson's YIew.
Senator Joseph T. Robinson Demo
cratic leader, advised the United
Press he would support plans of wets
to attempt to modify the Volstead act
at the coming session of Congress.
The temper of the wets was ex
tressed by Senator Huey Long, who
declared he expected to see beer back
by Christmas. Foreign beer shares
rose on exchanges 'in Berlin and Vi
enna. Champagne shares rose on the
Paris Bourse.
But dry leaders prepared to fight
a* never before. Their numbers in
Congress have been whittled down
ruthlessly. Both houses are expected
to show wet majorities In the next
Congress. Even Iowa Is sending down
five wet Congressmen to offset two
dry Republicans.
Congressional returns still w*re
coming In tonight. But Democrats
already bad elected 21 wet Senator*
and one wet Republican had been re
turned. Six more Democrats are
pledged tc the Democratic repeal and
beer platform. Thus, out of thirty
?wo Senate seats filled at this elec
tion, 28 are sympathetic to a change.
In the House, out of 302 members
now definitely elected, 179 are out
right anti-prohlbitlonlsts. Of these,
56 are Republicans and 123 Demo
: <r*ts. Only S6 Were definitely dry.
Short Session
These members take office after
March 4.- The coming short session
of Congress will consist of the hold
over membership. Anti-prohlbitlon
ists rely on the moral effect of their
gains yesterday to assist them in ob
thinlng Immediate action on a beer
I bill and in submitting a repeal amend
ment
Only majority is needed in each
bouse for the beer bill, but it is
mbject to Presidential vetQ. The re
peal amendment can be submitted on
'.v by a two-thirds rote of each house
and the President has nothing to do
with it.
P. Scott McBrlde, head of the Anti
Saloon League, told the United Press
in Washington the league would con
t'nue Its "unceasing battle" against
efforts at the short session to modify
the prohibition law. He said that
vntil complete returns are in, no one
can say It had been a complete dry
rout.
Mrs. Ella Boole, naticna] head of
the W. C. T. U., called on her fol
lowers to fight. "We can beat repeal
to the open," she said.
Dr. Daniel Poling, head of the al
lied forces who campaigned for Mr.
Hoover, said Mr. Hoover had kept the
faith. "He has yet a great work to
do." Poling added.
Dr. Arthur J. Barton, president of
the National Conference of Organisa
tions Supporting the 18th Amend
ment, said drys have Just begun to
fight.
? "Restoration of the liquor traffic,"
*ho said, "would be the greatest blow
that could strike economic better

Returns to Democratic Column
In National Politics By Giv
ing Roosevelt Big Majority
Sweeping the State with a veri
table tidal wave, Governor Frank
lin D. Roosevelt yesterday piled up
a majority in North Carolina far in
excess of the most optimistic Demo
cratic claim, which was Governor
Gardner's prediction of a majority
of 162,000.
The Roos&velt majority, which
seems likely to reach the 300,000
mark contrasts with the highest pre
vious majority of 113,000, obtained
two years ago by United States Sen
ator Josiah W. Bailey. The highest
majority ever previously given a
presidential candidate was 93,000
register by John W. Davis in 1924.
The avalanche oi votes swept into
office the entire Democratic ticket,
including the eleven nominees for
Congress by majorities less, but not
greatly less than those accorded the
presidential electors. John C. B.
Ghringhaus, candidate for Governor,
appeared to have run substantially
ahead of Robert R. Reynolds, Sena
torial candidate, the latter feeling
the disaffection of dry voters, al
though winning by an overwhelm
ing majority.
i ue overpowering uemocrauc vic
tory which not only reversed but
multiplied by several times the
62,000 majority which President
Hoover received in the State four
years ago, spread down through each
of the eleven Congressional districts
into the counties with indications
from early returns being that the
Republican representation in the
Oeneral Assembly .will not exceed
the previous low water marks set in
1931 session when the minority par
ty had only five members in the
House and two in the Senate.
Returns from the four contitu
tional amendments voted on yester
day were too meagre to furnish any
definite indication of their fate, but
the amendment making proceeds
from life Insurance policies made to
wives and children immune from
creditors during the lifetime of the
insured as well as after his death
was running well ahead of the other
three. This amendment carried in
several counties in which each of
the others was defeated.
Tuesday's electfon carries to- the
Governor's office J. C. B. Ehringhaua
of Elisabeth City, and the. United
States Senate Robert R. Reynolds of
Asheville, both of whom have long
been widely known In the legal pro
fession and in public affairs, but
neither of whom has ever held any
important public office except that of
solicitor of his judicial district.
Red Cross Week
For more than a
decade, the few days
between Armistice
Day and Thanks
giving have been
set aside by our
people in America
as Red Cross Week.
It is expected that
every person will make some contri
bution, however small or great, that
large numbers may be enrolled as
members for the whole year In this
organization of relief for the suffer
ing and poor.
Mrs. H. H. Johnson, Chairman of
the Roll Call Committee, together
with other volunteer workers, are
depending upon the citizens in each
town and township of the county to
make this the largest roll call ever,
in names If not in funds.
The churches, the schools, the
businesses, all are lending their co
operative effort in this charity. One
dollar counts as a full membership.
But if you can't get the $1.00 alone,
then get your closest friends to join
In together with you; for a member
ship, get together your family, your
Sunday School class, your public
school class, your clubs, why not
your other three friends at bridge?
It will make you happy to feet
that you are a part in this work of
charity; and, especially, as you see
some poor, suffering person given
bread and clothes from the Red
Cross.
Let's all do our part to put our
roll call "over the top".
Judge ? It you were In that house
for no dishonest purpose why were
you in your stocking feet?
Prisoner ? I heard there was sick
ness In the family.
