EIGHT PAGES) NUMBER 38 All But Two States Won By Roosevelt President Carries Every State Except Vermont and Maine for Electoral Vote Score of 523 to 8 DEMOCRATS INCREASE THEIR REPRESENTA TION IN HOUSE AND SENATE Next Congress Will Give Presi dent nn Overwhelming Work ing Majority; Stork Market Stages Buying Whirl, Only Utilities Showing Weakness; No Modern Parallel to Sweep ing Victory Won by New Deal ers; Expressions of Satisfac tion Come From Abroad; Many Party Traditions, Especially Those of Republicans, Over turned President Roosevelt piled up the greatest electoral majority in Tuesday's election thqt any can didate ever has enjoyed since, tlie nation grew up. The victory left just right elec toral votes in the column of Al fred M. Landon, the Republican candidate. It further reduced the Republican membership in Congress and took one more Gov ernor's chair, at least, from the party of Landon and Lincoln. So wide was the margin over Governor Landon that followers called it a clear mandate for Mr. Roosevelt to continue his liberal policies; even some of his most , bitter opponents said every real P American must stand behind the President. Some reaction! were visible im mediately. The stock market was thrown into a buying whirl, with some issues advancing to a new five-year high, and only public utility stocks the object of heavy selling. Just Two States Just two states, Maine and Ver mont, with a total of eight elec toral votes, stood on the Landon side. New Hampshire spent elec tion night In the Landon column, then climbed on the Democratic bandwagon. In the end, the President seem ed certain of 523 electoral votes. Landon 8. It was the nearest ap proach to unanimity Id the elec toral college since James Monroe was re-elected in 1820 with only a single vote against' him. A correspondingly heavy ma jority in House and Senate seem ed likely. The Democrats appeared to be winning enough seats to give them 75 of the 9< in the Senate. House returns were slower, but with something like two score con tests In doubt, the Democrats ap peared sure of going beyond 300 seats. In the upsets, they had taken two Republican seats for every one the Republicans had gained from them. Tbey had 308 members In the last House. Back in 1012 Not since William Howard Taft went down in the snorting Bull Moose rampage of 1912 had the fortunes of the Republicans fallen to so low a state. Even then, though Taft got only the eight electoral votes of Utah and Ver mont, all the rest did not go to the Democrats. Theodore Roose velt got 88, Wilson the remaind er. In the aftermath of the ballot ing, the nation settled slowly back to wbrk. The candidates exchang ed friendly messages, with a com mon call for alt Americans to obey the will of the majority. Governor Landon, his defeat behind him and congratulations already sent the winning candi date, told reporters he had no comment to make on the election, nor on future Republican plans. "I expect to go duck hunting in a few days," he said. At least part of the bitter taste ?if the words that the two parties had flung at each other last week was being washed away. Governor Landon sent a message to Presi dent Roosevelt saying: "Every American will accept the verdict and work for the common cause of the good of our country." Mr' Roosevelt replied that he was "confident that all of us Ameri cans will now poll together for the common good." Alfred E. Smith, the Democratic candidate of 1028. who took off his coat aqd worked, for the elec tion 6t Landon, said that "every citisen. every real American, must put his shoulder to the wheel and stand behind the President." Similar Mote The words that came from most of the others w"fio had taken a FRANKLIN D.ROOSEVELT I PRESIDENT FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT Who was re -elect etl bv the biggest landslide in many years on Tuesday. ~ i prominent part in the campaign struck a similar note. From international circles came expressions of satisfaction that America's foreign policy was to be continued without interruption. This view came from French, Ital ian and Austrian officials.

Poteat, president emeritus of Wake For est College, Tuesday addressed the students of Louisburg College and gave them valuable counsel out of the many years of his rich experience.
