things RED. Lou know wp had one
senator that was named Harrison,

and politicians from Chicago, had

It was reported that a lady who

with the exception of one candidate
she stated that she wanted

figures that were available today. ;
Iiutler the close frit del of the presi.

The state ?f Oklahoma returned

This caused no great surprise as It

that I his w ould happen.
Color'ado Once Dry Goes Wet
Although the wets won important
victories in Massachusetts and
New York, these are states which
have always been wet. The significant
thing is that Colorado, one
of the original dry states, went wet
on a referendum, but this is offset
by the fact that Missouri, a wet
u*ont the other wav. This Is
supposed to have been due' Do a
fautly wording o[ the referendum.
As for the presidential situation,
Mr. Coolidge's policies were hardly
tested in most of the states which
went Democratic. Local issues
swayed the voters. But within the
Republican party are some abbitious
men who seek the 1928 nomina
ion. If Mr. Coolidge had won a
sweeping victory this time, these
elements would have .been discouraged.
As it is they will renew their
fight to prevent Mr. Coolidge's nomination.
Arguing that the voters
hill not accept a president for long
er I han eight years.
On the Dcpiocratic side, the victory
of A1 Smith stands out as unprecendented.
He has corroborated
ihe argument of his followers that
even uhen as issue is made, as ft
was this jtime, of his presidential
apirsations, he can carry New
York. The fact that Mr. Walsh
carried Massachusetts for the Democratic
ticket means that A1 Smith
jwou'd have a good chance to carry
Mr. Coolidge's own state. New Jersey
has always been friendly to Al.
Smith.

MAJORTY FOR
ZE6 WEAVER IS
ABOUT 7,500
Tenth District Congressman is
Conceded the Victory by
His Opponent
Congressman Zebulon Weaver
has been re-elected by a majority
of approximately 7.500, according to
practically complete unofficial (returns
tabulated bere today. His perocutage
of the votes cast is the
highest he has ever recorded, it
was believed, despite the record
breaking majorities of 9,434 in 1923
and 8,159 in 1924, when a heavier
vote was cast.
His Republican opponent, Captain
Kenneth Smathers. conceded
the election of Mr. Weaver in the
Tenth District by a "safe majority"
at 11 o'clock today.
Congressman Weaver expressed
gratification over the gains he and
his party made In the western sec!
tion of the state, referring particuI
larly to the returns from Swain and
I '1 ranssylvania counties which he
1 said had gone to him although prel
viously rated Republican.
Take Some G. O. P. Ground
I Mr. Weaver stated that some of
J the bulwarks of the Republicans
in this section now have come over
to the Democratic side, and declared
lhat the victories in some of the
old G. O. P. precincts have convinced
him the district is "Democratic
to stay."
Although the voting was light,
the victory is decisive for the Democrats,
Mr. Weaver seated in ref!
erence to voting particularly for the
; nffi.'p of (ToiiEressman.
| He slated that his majority in
j Polk had risen to 426 as against
'only 40 in 1924. and that the vote
in Haywood, although light, was
i gratifying to the party. He was
j pleased apparently with returns
from practically all r: . nns.
