Incomplete, unofficial returns from less than half of the starte’s 1,956 precincts showed voters slightly favoring increased pay for state legislators. A greater margin also favored the proposal to permit the state’s special and bond elections to be carried by simple majorities, thus eliminating the “vote against reg istration” provision. "Voters apparently were definite against two other amendments. One would have removed the debt limit imposed on the state, coun ties and cities. The other would have given counties the right to levy increased amounts of taxes for general purposes. "Voters in 768 precincts report ing racked up a slight margin for the amendment doubling the pay of legislators.

Truman swept himself and the Democratic party into power in this cotintry’s government in Tuesday’s general election. Climax came at approxi mately 11:30 yesterday morning when Republican candidate Thomas E. Dewey conceded his defeat and congratulated Mr. Truman on his victory. The victory, which upset all the dope buckets and completely re versed the four major opinion polls of the country, -syas a com pletely personal one for the President who fay his dogged in sistence that he arid the party could •win -when stau^warts in his own party, thought otherwise * aroused a personal administration from the electorate which cairried him and the party in. Democrats wene given some chance of winning control of tite Senate before the election, bat were given practically no chance to take control of the Hcnise of Representatives or -to . presidency. The party won control of the Senate, 54 to 44, a greater margin than they had been given a chance for, and rolled up a big majority in the House with com plete figures still untabulated yes terday. The President’s personal victory w’as popular as well as electoral and with about 40 of an expected 50 million votes counted yesterday he was leading Mr. Dewey by over one million votes. In the electorial college the President had 279 vots to 214 for Dewey. 266 are necessary victory. la incomplete results in California the President was given a chance to gain 25 more electoral votes. Strom Thurmond, candidate of the States Rights Democrats, car ried four states. South Carolina. Alabamia, Mississippi and Louisi ana, for a total of 38 electoral votes and 850,000 popular votes. Henry Wallace, Progressive caiv- didate, carried no states md got so electoral votes, although over 900,000 votes were cast for him of the first 40 million. Considering the fact that all Thurmond’s •votes were ■votes that the President would ntMrmaHy have received, his victory becooMS even more impressive. The Dem ocratic victory has to a large ex- t^t removed the effectiveness of the “protest” being registoed by the States Rights Democrats, in view of the fact that the Demo cratic party managed to win an impressive victory •without the southern protesters.
