HOOVER WINS IN LANDSLIDE Will Likely Have 444 Electoral Votes To 87 For Smith—Sol id South Is Broken, Smith Carrying Only Six Southern States. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER. (United Press Staff Correspondent) j New York, Nov. 7.—Herbert; Hoover's tremendous victory, passing all previous records, 1 both in popular and electoral | votes, opens a new era in the nation's politics for both part-, ies. Republicans have demonstra ted a grip on the country which has remained unshakable through three Presidential I campaigns in which the oppo sition resorted to every con-1 ceivable type of strategy. , Democrats have suffered a se vere blow in permitting Hoover to break into their Solid South. \ What this may lead to, no OIK; i knows, but it might easily prove i a revolutionary event for the Democratic party. Democratic Cause. ! It has been shown the South will not remain Democratic re- j gardless of everything. Those , controlling the Democratic j party's destiny during the next four years must decide whether to play to the Eastern wet vote! by which Smith carried Massaj chusets and Rhode Island, or whether to permit the old dry i Democratic South to resume its domination of the party's af fairs. ! Surprises continued to devel op as returns from the greatest vote in the nation's history poured in today. The latest tabulation of these re turns showed: Electoral Vote. Hoover, 444; Smith, 87; lloov ,er plurality, 357. I'opular Vote Total reported, 30,022,971, (incomplete). Hoover, 17,483,- 692; Smith, 12,539,279. Hoover I plurality, 4,944,413. What They Show These figures, when analyzed reveal that: j Hoover broke Harding's rec ord for the popular vote and Wilson's record of 435 electoral votes—Hoover having 444. Smith received the largest popular vote any Democrat ever had received and the smallest electoral vote any candidate ot' his party ever received. Smith with 87 electoral votes, is the lowest in 50 years except for the freak eightv-vote defeat of Taft in 1912. i Smith carried only six of the 10 Southern states and Rhode Island and Massachusetts — eight states in all out of 48. j Hoover carried four Southern 'states which never had gone Re publican since Reconstruction days—Virginia, North Carolina, Texas and Florida. Lost in New York. Smith, who hitherto has run far ahead of his ticket in New l York State, trailed behind this year, and was the only major candidate on the New York ! Democratic ticket to be defeat ed in his home state. While Smith failed to carry any of the farm belt to which he directed a special appeal, he cut into the normal Republican ma jorities by running far ahead of recent Democratic majorities in those states. I Constructing the election as meaning continued prosperity, Wall Street engaged in the thiru largest market in its history, ! gains ranging up to 15 points, 'due apparently to tho feeling that Hoover as President would adopt a liberal policy towards private enterprise. This overwhelming Republi can triumph establishes 1 i »over on his first campaign for an elective office as the greatest vote-getter of all time and would appear to give him an excellent chance of being re nominated at the end of four years, whereas a less decir.ive victory might have left him open to the attack of influen- ROBBERY AT WALNUT COVE Thieves Take Truck Load Of Merchandise From Store Of J. Wesley Morefield—No Clue Has Been Found. At Walnut Cove last night thieves forced an entrance *o the store of J. Wesley Morefield and took a considerable quant ity of merchandise. It was esti mated that four dozen pairs of shoes were taken, while a great many shirts, overalls, rugs and many other articles were mis using. The robbers entered the store from the back and had a truck on which the goods were loaded | It was impossible for Mr. from the back window. , Morefield to ascertain the exact; | amount of his loss, but it was probably two hundred dollars. No ciue has been found that' would lead to indentification of ithe guilty parties. FRANK L. MOORE DIED MONDAY One Of Stokes County's Most I Widely Known Citizens — j Wife and Six Sons and Daugh- ] ters Survive. Frank L. Moore, widely | known citizen of Peters Creek | township, died at his home Mon |day night after a lingering ill ness. 1 Mr. Moore was a successful farmer for many years and al so was engaged at one time in ; the mercantile business. He ser jved one or more terms as county ; commissioner in Stokes a good ' many years since. The deceased l who was 81 years of age, was I highly esteemed by all who knew him. I Surviving are his widow and six children: Dr. W. B. Moore of j Lewisville, J. L. Moore of Stokes i county, W. C. Moore of Shreve iport. La., Moire Moore of San t Antonio, Texas, Matthew Moore, j Stokes county, and Mrs. J. E. I Moore of Canton, Miss. Also by ten grandchildren and three : great-grandchildren. I The funeral was conducted .Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home and inter ment made in the family plot near Lewisville. The family desires to express appreciation of tie many acts of kindness during the illness ! and death of the deceased. Major Steadmon Won Out Again Congressman Charles M. Stedman won in the race for congress in this district by slightly less than 500 votes. It was reported once that Mr. Stedman was defeated, but this was corrected yesterday. tial Republicans who were by ao | means happy vth his nominal i ion. v-fl'i Through. By the same token,. Gover nor Smith's defeat, despite his . strong popular vote, practically ; eliminates his chance of being I a candidate again. In fact, Gov ernor Smith sai»! today he was through with running for office. "I certainly do r.ot expect ever to run for public office again," he said. "I bav;» had all II can stand of it. I hav? given I a quarter of a century of prob jably the best vears of my life !to it. I will never lose my in teiest in public affairs—that is I a sure thing. But as far as run ning for office agai.i is concer jned—that's finished." With Governor Smith appar ently eliminated as a future ; candidate by his own words, the | Democratic party is left practi cally destitute of visible Presi dential timber. The next candi date probably will be someone ! yet to take his place in the front ranks as a party leader. In this connection, Franklin D. Rosevelt, who has apparently ,been elected Governor of New York, occupies a strong posi tion and if his health permits, he may be a factor in 1932.
