VOTING VERY ORDERLY
The shouting and the tumult dies,
The Captains and the Kings depart.
Voters nearly 3000 strong marched
to the fourteen voting precincts
of Warren county on Tuesday to
add their votes to the avalanche
of ballots that swept Republicans
fiom power over the nation.
Voting was orderly in every sec
Hon with a holiday atmosphere as
merchants in the towns of the
county waited cn an occasional
customer and spent most of the
day speculating rather gleefully
over the Democratic prospects.
Within less than an hour after
the polls closed, the presidential
vcte was announced in each of the
precincts and citizens gathered
around radios in their homes to
receive returns from over the
nation.
A few scattering returns began
coming in around 6 o'clock in a
broadcast by the two great broadcasting
systems, aided by nationwide
newsgathenng agencies.
By 7 o'clock these returns were
sufficiently strong to indicate '.he
drift in several states. As minutes
passed it was indicated in state
after state that it was going Democratic.
Roosevelt early gathered a
lead which he held throughout the
indicated Hoover electoral votes
swinging from 41 to slightly mors
than a hundred, gradually receding
to 59 as the night wore on
[ At 8 o'clock it was practically a
certainty that New York would
drop into the Democratic column,
t lasting any hope of success that
the Republicans might have entertained.
At 8:20 o'clock, with less than
one-tenth of the ballots reported
and with less than half of the vote
of New York tabulated, WUl'ain

Routine Matters
Occupy Attention
Board Education
District budgets of Afton-Elberon
and Norli/i Special School Districts,
held up by committeemen on
account of high school's disputes,
were approved and ordered signed
by the Board of Education, meeting
at Warrenton on Monday in an
unusually light session, occupied
mostly with routine matters.
Edward Alston, citizen of Fork
and familiar figure around meetings
of the county boards during
the past few years, appeared before
the Board of Education to protest
against the attempt of a colored
P.-T. A. committee of his community
to collect a fee from users
of trucks for colored pupils going
to Warrenton.
It was explained to the Fork citizen
that the colored people had
bought a second hand cheap truck
and were aware of the fact that it
would soon be necessary for them
either to stop riding or buy a permanent
vehicle, since the state
operates vehicles but does not buy

like kind and that the county will
not buy them; and the fee was to
be used to get a permanent truck.
It was stated that since the state
operates the vehicle, the county
board was not concerned in the
question, but Mr. Powell was requested
to hear the parties concerned
and announce the disposition
of the matter.

Victory Without Parallel In
Century of American
Political History
WIN IN EVERY SECTION
Riding the crest of an unprecedented
wave of ballots
that swept the Republicans
in almost every section from
power, Governor Franklin
Delano Roosevelt was elected
to the Presidency of the
r r *i ?
united States on Tuesday.
His victory stands without
parallel in a century of
American history. He left to
President Hoover only six
states with 59 electoral
votes.
With final returns not
complete, Governor Roosevelt
captured 17,107,331
popular votes out of 30,000,000.
President Hoover received
12,321,164; Thomas
372,645.
The six states won by
President Hoover are Pennsylvania,
Connecticut, Delaware,
Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont.
Senator Reed Smoot, coauthor
of the Smoot-Hawley
tariff act, was defeated by
a Democrat. Senator Jim
Watson, Senate leader and
friend of the President, met
his Waterloo at the hands of
his Democratic opponent.
Senator George Moses,
who a few years ago characterized
the Progressives as
the "Sons of Wild Jackasses,"
will hereafter wisecrack

swept out of power and his
seat captured by a Democrat.
The Democrats captured
the Senate. They increased
their majority in the House
of Representatives. Less than
a dozen Republican Governors
remain in the 48
states of the Union.
In the State, the voters

majorities for the entire
Democratic ticket with mainritiPR

Healing Wound*
There was a definite attempt to
heal the wounds of the campaign
when Roosevelt, in thanking President
Hoover for the message cf
congratulation, said he joined in
"your gracious expression of a common
purpose in helpful efforts for
our country."
This thought was echoed by Will
Hays, Postmaster General in the
Harding administration. He said the

Warrenton Scores
An Easy Victory
Warrenton scored an easy victory
over a team from Henderson last
Friday. Gordon and Roy Haithcock
each scored two touchdowns, Warrenton
winning 25 to 6. Henderson's
score came when a blocked
punt was downed behind Warrenton's
goal by a Henderson player.
It was expected that the game
would be with Warrenton's rival of
last year, but that team was playing
elsewhere and a lighter team was
sent here for the game. The strong
Warrenton second tean made a good
showing in the game and easily held
