Democratic Candidates In County Score Victories By Majorities Os More Than 2,500 HUGE VOTE ( AST THE TICKET Prosecuting Attorney Arthur E Voglewede Joint Representative Frank G. Thompson County Treasurer .h-ff Liechty County Recorder Ritlli Hollingsworllt County Sheriff Dallas Brown County Coroner Robert J. Zwick County Surveyor W. H. Gilliom County Commissioners Frank Liniger Moses Augsburger The Democratic candidates for county offices in Adams county were swept into oflice with majorities expected to exceed any preyiottsly given ticket in the history of this traditional Democratic county. From the time the first precinct West I'nion—reported, giving the Democrats a lead of more than 100 over the Republicans, it was a case of waiting to see what the major! ties would be. no race developing for any of the offices. With less than half of the pre. cincts repotted at this writing, ma jorities were estimated at more than 3.000 till the way down thu ticket. If the total vote cast Tuesday exceeds tile 9.000 record in 1932, the majorities are likely to exceed 3.200. All the excitement of previous election nights was lacking. The Democrats had it in the bag. Never did tile Republicans hope to elect any of their county candidates and as Hie returns continued to come in. it was evident that they did not let the Literary Digest influence their political acumen. Adams county also joined the landslide lot President Roosevelt and climbed the Democratic hand wagon tor M. Clifford Townsend. Democratic candidate for governor. Early returns indicated that Roosevelt would probably lead the ticket in the county. Townsend running nip and tuck witli the nation s leader and that both would have pluralities of more than 3,000. At an early nour the crowd which gathered at the Daily Democrat and at Democratic headquarters ahove the newspaper ottiee sensed tlte victory and began asking about tile majorities. A band was employed to help celebrate tlte victory and queries were made if “we thought Indiana would go 250,000 Democratic” and if "Landon would carry more than a half dozen states. " In view of the fact that three ballots had to be counted, the precincts were slow in reporting. The extraordinary heavy vote was also accountable for some of the delay in making complete returns from the 34 voting precincts. The crowd was entertained at Democratic headquarters, M. E. Hower, employed as oflice secretary during the campaigning acting as host. Two radios brought national and state returns and reports from the county were relayed to the assembly room by Marcellus Miller and Edwin Kauffman. Thu Misses Helen Suttles and Marjorie Carroll chalked up the vote on a (COXTTNUFD ON PAGE SIX) O Close Race In Wells County Bluffton. Nov. 1 (Special) —The closest race in the election here was that of John Decker. Democrat and John Edris. Republican, for judge of the Wells circuit court, with indication at midnight that Decker would have a majority of more than 500. Frank Thompson for representative was leading his opponent, Chauncey E. Frantz by 466 with 11 of the 35 precincts reported. Roosevelt's vote was 1660 to 9GG in 12 precincts and Townsend was leading Springer 1-117 to 902 in Gio 12 preciucls.
