Results
Dribbling returns from tne gen
eral election increased Wednesday
the vast Democratic majority In
North Carolina ? ordinarily a, part
of the "solid south," but which
smashed tradition a decade ago
and joined the Hoover landslide.
On the basis of representative
but incomplete returns the Dem
ocratic nominees for the U. S. Sen
ate, Congress, and for state offices
swept to easy victories over their
Republican opponents. Little in
terest was manifest in the cam
paign, and tiie vote was compara
tively light.
Senator Robert R. Reynolds, a
New Dealer, who made only a few
campaign speeches, piled up a big
lead over his Republican oppon
ent, Charles A. Jonas, who was
elected to Congress from the old
Tenth District in the 1928 up
heaval.
Jonas, in his campaign, charg
ed the Roosevelt' administration
with' regimentation, and asserted
the issue was whether "constitu
tional democracy" was to survive,
and that he himself carried t-he
"banner of democracy."
The Returns
Returns from 1,089 of the
state's 1,877 precincts gave Sena
tor Robert R. Reynolds, Demo
cratic incumbent. 193.138 votes
against- 94,540 for his Republican
opponent, Charles A. Jonas, of
Lincolnton. as late reports were
received Wednesday from Tues
day's general election.
Incomplete returns from two
congressional districts in which
the Republican candidates advo
cated. among ot-her things, the
Townsend Plan of old age pen
sions, Indicated their Democratic
opponents held safe majorities.
In the Ninth District "Farmer
Bob" Doughton, chairman of the
House ways and means committee,
was leading nearly two to one his
Republican opponent, Monroe
Acfams. a Towsendite.
Similarly, in the Eleventh, the
other advocate of the Townsend
Plan, Vonno Gudger, a Republi
can trailed far behind the Demo
cratic incumbent. Veteran Rep.
Zeb Weaver.
Carl T. Durham, Chapel Hill
druggist, was elected without op
position although a "write in"
movement in the Sixth District
gave Oscar G. Barker several hun
dred votes.
Barker Second
Durham was nominated by his
district committee after the death
of the primary-chosen Judge Lew
is E. Teague.
Barker ran second in the pri
mary and supporters of the "write
in" movement, led by Prof. E. J.
Woodhouse of Mie University of
North Carolina, argued that it was
"un-Democratic" for the commit
tee to name another as the party's
nominee. Durham will succeed
Rep. W. B. Umstead who did not
seek renomination.
In the Eighth District, scene of
a recent party squabble, W. O.
Burgin took the lead over his Re
publican opponent, Solicitor John
R. Jones, of Wilkesboro. ***
Majorities for tihe two proposed
constitutional amendments were
cut sharply as additional reports
were received. On the basis of
Tuesday nlght'9 returns both pro
posals were favored by a ratio of
about) two to one but the percen
tage of "Yes" votes was far less
in a tabulation early Wednesday
afternoon. However, less than a
third of the precincts were ac
counted for. : ? !

REPUBLICANS
MAKE GAINS
1 New Deal Retains Control
Of Congress ? Nation
Shows Its Hand
New York. Nov. 9. ? The Re
publican party turned back the
six-year New Deal tide in yester
day's general elections, and to
night again was a major political
force capable of giving Democrats
a hot fight for the Presidency in
1940.
Although the Republicans cap
tured important political posts in
many strategic states as the na
itiou swung to the right of the
I New Deal. Democrats retained con
trol of both houses of Congress
and possession of more than one
ihalf of the 48 gubernatorial posts.
General Picture
Virtually complete reports from
the off-yea v election presented
this picture tonigbt>:
Republicans won eight addition
al Senate seats and their candid
ates were leading in neck-and
neck races in Indiana and Iowa.
A total of 162 Republicans had
been elected to the House at 9
p. in., E. S. T. This was a gain
of 74 seats. Twenty-seven contests
were undecided.
Republicans made a net gain
of 11 gubernatorial seats.
President Roosevelt received the
news of the Republican tiriumphs
in silence at his Hyde Park, N. \ .,
home. -
Chairman James A. Farley ot
the Democratic National Commit
tee conceded that Republican gains
exceeded his expectations, but he
insisted that tbe country still is
-strongly behind the humanitari
an policies of President Roose
vel-t."
He said the defeat of Democrats
in Connecticut. Rhode Island and
Nebraska should be attributed
j chiefly to local issues and that
Democratic victims in Ohio. Ore
gon, Massachusetts and Pennsyl
vania resulted from failure to heal
intra party strife. While Farley
said that "we lost a few more
\ Democratic governors than we ex
j pected" and Republican victories
I in Congress "were greater than
| we anticipated." he said :
Still With Roosevelt
"I think that the outcome justi
fied the statement that t'he country
as a whole is strongly behind the
humanitarian policies of President
Roosevelt."
Former President Herbert Hoo
ver. who made three nationwide
radio speeches to the electorate
during the hotly-fought campaign.
I said from his home in Palo Alto,
Calif., that the G. O. P. triumphs
constituted a protest vote against
the New Deal. He called upon his
parly leaders to consolidate their
gains in anticipation of the 1940
White House election.
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, in
terpreted the election results as a
complete rout of the rival Com
in i tee tor Industrial Organization
and Labor's Non-Partisan League,
which he described as the C. I.
O. "political dummy."
He said in a statement issued ui
Washington that voters turned
against* every candidate supported
by the C. 1. O.. and added:
' "Bv this time the proof is over
I whelming that the American pub
lic is sick and tired of the tactics
land philosophy of the C. I. O.
Party bulwarks crumbled in the
| face of the Republican party's
I most vigorous bid for power since
i 1932, a survey of election returns
i indicated. The Republican tide hit
New Deal regimes in the East, and
in New England and rolled West
to engulf the fledgling National
Progressive third party ot Wiscon
sin's Governor Philip La Follette
and Minnesota's Farmer-Laborites.
