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 The State dry act was repealed &nd In its place a provision was adopted providing for state regula tion of liquor sales and distributed in event the Eighteenth Amendment is repealed.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. ?

Senatorial control during the coming short session of Congress tonight ap peared to have definitely passed Into Republican hands. Democrats needed to capture special elections In both Colorado and New Jersey to Insure control. Latest reports from New Jersey Indicated that Senator W. War ren ^arbour would win his ttght for re-election against Percy H. Stewart, Democrat. Barbour led, 679,047 to 079,400 with 3,202 out ,sf 8,425 precincts reported. In Colorado, Cart C. Schuyler maintained a slight lead over 'Walter Walker, Democrat; with a small number of precincts miss Inn Washington, Not. 9. ? Democratic supremacy in the next House of Rep- 1 resentatlves approached the three to-one mark upon completion of more counts this evening, at a time when the party figure in the Senate approached the border of a two-to- < one margin. Some seventy House seats remained to be heard from, however. It look ed as though the Democratic major- i ltles would be increased Instead of : diminished, but there was nothing i Anally conclusive as to the final i line-up. < From Connecticut to the state of l Washington, the mighty rush of Democratic ballots that bore Cover- \ nor Franklin D.

INCREASES MAJORITY < 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. ?
