Wallace Winborne said his reports at midday showed Ihe ■ Republican membership of the 1937' North Carolina General Assem bly would probably consist of eight men as the Democrats eight swept, places held by Republicans in 1935. There were 15 Republicans in the last legislature. Winborne said that it appeared Re publican representatives would be here from Clay, which was Democrat ic in 1935, and from the normally mi nority party counties of Madison, Mit chell, Yadkin, Davie and Avery. The Democrats took seats from Re publicans in Wilkes, Polk, Rutherford CheJjkee, Lincoln, Sampson, Catawba and Randolph counties, Winborne said. Only in 1931, when there were only five Republican House members, do records show a smaller representa tion for the party in modern times than the six members listed by Win borne for next year. Winborne conceded that the two Republican State senatorial strong holds, the 24th and 30th districts, ap parently had gone their unual way. Engine Crew Shot From Ambush As Train Speeds On Shreveport, La., Nov. 4) — Ambushers’ bullets, fired at the cab of a speeding Louisiana and Arkansas railway passenger train, were blamed today for the killing of a guard and the wounding of the engineer and fireman. This latest outbreak in a strike of transportation workers of the line brought instant death late yesterday to Max Osborne, 30- year-old Rodessa man. Several bullets struck him in the head. Slugs pierced the left jaw and cheeks of Fireman A. J. Waskom, of Shreveport, and a bullet grazed „ the neck of Engineer F. R. Bacon, also of Shreveport. Neither was reported in serious condition to day. Despite his wound, Bacon con tinued his run and brought the train into Winnfiled, where he re ported the shooting. It was believ ed that passengers were unaware of the killing until the train reached Winnfield. HENDERSON, N.

Republicans were certain of only 16 senators and 68 as late returns came trickling in. Should the trend continue, it ap peared certain that President Roose velt would have a record-breaking majority on Capitol Hill. Late returns re-elected the veteran Senator Capper, Kansas Republican; Senator Bahey, North Carolina Dem ocrat, and Senator H. Styles Bridges, New Hampshire’s young Republican governor, and H. H. Schwartz, Wyom ing Democrat, to the Senate. In other Senate contests the Demo crats were leading in Colorado, iowa, Montana, New Mexico, and South Dakota.

BASKKRVII.Li Raleigh, Nov. 4.—The legislature should make provision for the re treatment and re-surfacing of not less than 1,000 miles of surface treated highways in the State each year, Chairman Capus M. Waynick, of the State Highway and Public Works Commission, said today. The State has approximately 4,000 miles of sur face treated roads. Since the normal life of a surface-treated road is about four years, the re-surfacing of 1,000 miles of these roads each year would make it possible to resurface the en tire 4,000 miles every four years and thus keep them all in first-class con dition, Waynick pointed out. “It would cost. less to re-surface these roads every four years than to (Continued on Page Four.). Syndicalists Get Big Hand In Power In Madrid Upturn Madrid, Nov. 4.—(AP) Madrid, amid the crash of heavy cannonading and continuous wail of air raid sirenes, virtually completed today a long expected cabinek shake-up to give the syndicalists a share in the government. The government reorganization, 22nd since the fall of the monarchy in 1931, came at the most critical mo ment in the history of the republic. Drives of insurgent planes circled circled back and forth over the capi tal in continued assault on the morale of the civil population.

Big States Paok Their Elec toral Votes Into Roosevelt Bag; New Deal Plurality Appears Near 9,000,000; Landon and Roosevelt Ex change Messages (By The Associated Pr-ess.) A Roosavelt landslide that shook the nation today left but two states clinging to Republicanism. Maine and Vermont alone clutched the beaten banner of Alfred M. Lan don. New Hampshire, after marching with him all night, finally turned in to the victorious oolumna of Roose velt. All the other stales already had given the Democratic presidential ticket huge majorities in the electoral college, and sent new recrulta to the previously toprheavy list of Demo cratic Senate and lienee members. The apparent electoral vote stood at 528 for Rooeevelt, eight for Lan don. The final thinning of the Republi can ranks left them with the smal lest electoral vote they have had since 1912, when Taft had just flight votes. Not since 1820, when James Menroo was re-elected with just one dissent ing voto in the electoral college has there been so close an approach to unanimity of electors. The New Deal plurality of popular votes seemed likely to approach 9L -000,000. Os the prize packages heavily stuff ed with electoral votes California came to Roosevelt by half a million, Illinois by 600,000, Michigan by 100,- 000, New York by more than a mil lion, Ohio by 300,000, Pennsylvania, the strong fortress of Republicanism, by 500,000. The presidential and congressional sweep was accompanied by Demo cratic victories in many state elec tions. Returns showed 26 Democratic candidates for governor elected or leading, and only five Republicans.
