ENTIRE STATE (Cunlinnrd Fro w Pace Oum»» from the Ist District in the earlv stages of the vote counting. He defeated Donald K. Stimson Jr., Gary Republican, by approximately 10,000 votes, far less than the margin of victory observers had predicted. Rep. Winfield K. Denton of Evansville was in a hot neck-and-neck race with former Rep. D. Bailey Merrill in the Bth District. Denton and Madden are the only Democrats in the present 9-to-2 political division of the Hoosier congressional delegation. Four years ago, Merrill beat Denton. Two years ago, Denton beat Merrill. This was the rubber game, and hours after the polls closed the lead changed hands often, with only a few hundred votes separating them among more than 150,000 which were counted. GOP Wins Legislature The Republican sweep meant the GOP again will control the Indiana Legislature in the 1957 session, which is only two months away. Republicans won a comfortable majority in both Senate and House. At 5:30 a.m. CDT, Mr. Eisenhower led Adlai Stevenson in Indiana by nearly 325,000 votes with returns counted from 3,487 of the state’s 4,384 precincts. The vote at that time was: Eisenhower 969,608, Stevenson 644,365. At the same time, Handley had 878,169 votes from 3,421 precincts to 693,742 for Mayor Ralph Tucker of Terre Haute, who conceded the LaPorte man’s election within four hours after tha polls closed. Capehart, whom many political pundits had predicted would trail the rest of the GOP state ticket, kept abreast of Handley throughout the counting, although former agriculture secretary Claude R. Wickard seemed a cinch to lead the pemocratic ticket. ,4L 5:30 >.m„ M>te from 3,435 precincts was 645, Wickard 697,098. Four years ago, Mr. Eisenhower rolled up an Indiana pluarality of nearly 335,000 votes over Stevenson what was then the greatest winning margin in this state's history. He became the first presidential candidate ever to receive more than a million votes in Indiana. A.4KC Breaks Demo Back This time the margin was even greater. The tremendous victory became apparent long before midnight. Eisenhower leads rolled in from large counties, from small bunties, and from medium-sized counties. When, the Democratic stronghold of Lake, which gave Stevenson a 16,000 vote edge four years ago and never favored any GOP candidate since the Al SmithHerbert Hoover race 28 years ago, shifted into the Eisenhower column the opposition’s back was broken. Among congressmen returned to Washington for new two-year terms were Rep. Charles A. Halleck of the 2nd District, dean of the Hoosier delegation and former House majority leader, and Rep. Cecil M. Harden of the 6th District, a grandmother now rounding out her eighth year in Congress. Halleck has been elected every time since 1935. Victory and concession statements came from the winners and the losers. “My election as governor,” Handley said, “is not only a great honor but also a challenge and a well-defined opportunity for fur ther service.” He said he is “now enabled to .administer a progressive program” and in his term will try to “develop harmonious relations among agriculture, labor and industry to insure the continued prosperity of all segments of our economy.” Skillen Raps Craig Handley's statement came shortly after Tucker conceded in a statement that said the Republicans “won an overwhelming victory unprecedented in the annals of our state and nation.” Tucker wished the GOP ticket “Godspeed in the management of state affairs.” Wickard sent Capehart a congratulatory telegram offering “best wishes for a successful term of office.” Charles Skillen, state Democratic chairman, said: "In the spirit of the Democratic party, we accept the will of the majority. We pledge our untiring efforts toward every sincere attempt tfc improve the manage-* ment of state government by the coming administration. “We will defend with equal zeal against any attempt to continue the type .administration we have witnessed these past four years.” This was an obvious crack at Governor Craig, whose administration was the Chief issue used by Hoosier Democrats in their fruitless bid to change the political
