Ing Pritchard by 4402, with 37 precir:cts missing. For Juvenile Court, Bradshaw leading Remy by 2719, with 34 prezincts missing. For Sheriff, Feeney leading KealIng by 7952, with 30 precincts missing. The decline in Democratic strength is illustrated by a comparison of yesterday’s results with those of 1934, the last off-year election. Despite an increase in total vote cast of upward of 20,000, the Democratic local pluralities were cut from an approximate 15,000 to an approximate 5000, or almost twovhirds. oy
Several Reasons Advanced
Among the many reasons given by political observers for the large Republican increases yesterday over recent elections were the following: 1. The Republicans got to the polls a larger percentage of their registered voters than the Democrats, which: exactly reversed the get-out-the-vote ratio in recent elections. This was’ interpreted as meaning that many Republicans, hitherto on the fence regarding the New Deal to the extent of staying at home, have now reached the point of going to the polls to cast a protest vote. It also indicates an unexpected weakening in the Democratic ward and precinct organizations, since a party in power usually has a larger and better disciplined ward organization than a minority party. 2. The Republicans apparently received a majority of the voters listed as “doubtful” on both Republican and Democratic poll books. At the same time, the number of “doubtful” polled voters who actually cast ballots yesterday was apparently much larger than in recent elections. Again, these factors are also interpreted as meaning that a larger number of hitherto silent voters in Marion County are turning from the New Deal—at least, when the “magic” name of Roosevelt is not on the ballot. 3. From the beginning of this campaign, it has been generally conceded that Herman C. Wolfl, as mayoralty candidate and head of the local G. O. P. ticket, was the strongest Republican candidate for the position in recent years. 4. Widespread and growing dissatisfaction with the Democratic administration after its many years in office. This dissatisfaction is attributed by political observers not only to the natural public desire “for a change” after a period of time, but also to positive public re-
-action against alleged Democratic
maladministration and alleged corruption in certain City and County offices. : Blame Overconfidence 8. Some Democratic workers, in analyzing their ticket’s slender margin of victory, blamed overconfidence. “We were sO sure we were going over by at least 15,000 or 20,000,” one ward chairman said, “that some of the precinct workers and ward chairmen tried to be generals instead of privates and lieutenants.” Another party worker, discussing the situation in a huddie in the Court House corridor, said “lots of Democrats were so sure we would win by a big majority that rather than stand in line at the polls, they went on home without voting.” Tabulation Is Released A Democratic headquarters tabulation of unofficial returns at 1 a. m. today, when the Marion County headquarters closed, showed: For Mayor—Complete Sullivan ..87,161 Wolff ....80,807

of which I am capable. I will keep my pledges made to the citizens during this campaign. I thank the thousands of citizens and my personal friends who voted tor me. I will be Mayor for all the citizens.” Similar statements were voiced by other candidates. Al Feeney, Democratic candidate for Sheriff, who on the face of the unofficial returns led his ticket, said: “I am gratified to learn that I am leading the Democratic County ticket. I will try to run the Sheriff’s office to the best of my ability.” Prosecutor Herbert M. Spencer, who appeared to have been elected judge of Superior Court No. 2, said: «Although the vote did not show as heavy a Democratic majority as expected, IT am pleased with the results. I will strive to make a fine record as judge.” Study of the unofficially tabulated vote reveals that Mr. Sullivan carried 14 wards and Mr. Wolff 10. Wards carried by Mr. Sullivan were 1, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 10, 17, 19, 23 and 24. Those carried by Mr. Wolff were 2,3,4,5, 6,9, 18, 20, 21 and 22. All South Side wards, normally Demoeratic, gave Mr. Sullivan substantial majorities ranging from approximately 1000 in Ward 17 to more than 2 to 1 in Ward 15 and nearly 2 to 1 in Ward 12. All the wards with heavy Negro population also gave Mr. Suilivan majorities. Wards 20 and 21, both north of 38th St. in Washington Township, gave- Mr. Wolff a heavy vote, In the 20th, he received 2000 majority, and in the 21st, his majority was nearly 2% to 1. These two wards are normally Republican strongholds. Mr. Sullivan carried all West Side wards excepting Ward 6 (northwest), where Mr. Wolff led by nearly 300 votes. On the East Side, Mr. Wolff was a favorite. He carried Ward 18 (Irvington) by 1200 votes, Ward 9 by more than 40 per cent and Ward 2 (Brookside Park area) by about 450 votes. Ward 11, comprising the downtown area south of Washington St., gave Mr. Sullivan a 1600 plurality.

ticket got 156 except the candidate for Auditor, who received 159. Somewhere, 300 votes were lost in the Auditor’s race in that precinct.”
No Disorder Reported
He also cited Precinct 11, Ward 19, where, he said, the Republican tabulation showed a 10-to-1 vote for the Democrats—42 Republican votes and 411 Democratic.
The electorate voted yesterday in the crispest temperatures of the fall. The maximum for the day was 39. Voting was steady all day with a turnout that did not equal preelection predictions but was better than estimates of party leaders made during the day. Although there was no serious disorder, there were many minor problems over eligibility of voters that had to be adjusted by election commissioners. Some mechanical difficulties with the voting machines developed but they were adjusted apparently to the satisfaction of workers from both parties. Despite all the pre-election charges and counter-charges of improper registrations, Charles R. Ettinger, election supervisor, said “the amount of grief in the registration office was less this year than during the 1936 election.” “Considering that this was an offyear election and one which brought out a heavy vote,” he said, “everything functioned extremely well.” William $S. Orr, Election Board clerk, said that apparently there was less challenging yesterday than. in any election “since the new registration law went into effect.”

HYDE PARK, N. Y. Nov. 9 (U. P.) —President - Roosevelt gauged Republican inroads into his Congressional majority today and sought the trend of national politics. The Chief Executive's delight in the victory of his party's ticket in
cratic defeat in Pennsylvania. He stayed up until early this morning receiving returns. He telephoned dozens of political leaders, in some cases seeking information, congratulating others, and extending regrets to the losers. But he went to bed without making a statement. Secretary Marvin H. McIntyre said: “The President is very happy.” . When he arose this morning, he called immediately for the morning newspapers to study returns particularly from the . Far Western states. Those returns were just beginning to come in when he retired.
Farley Gives Results

‘Hoped, Prayed’
' NEW YORK, Nov. 9 (U. P).— Mrs. David Gray, aunt of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, said today as she returned from Europe .on the Cunard liner Scythia that she “hoped and prayed” President Roosevelt would not be a candidate for a- third term. . “It is a hard job for any man,” she explained. Mrs. Gray and her husband, who live at Sarasota, Fla. were met at the dock by Mrs. Roosevelt’s brother, Hall Roosevelt.
Governor Lehman of New York and others, Hyde Park, the home town of the President, went Republican but it always does. Mr. Roosevelt's own election district also went Republican by 10 votes.
May Make Statement
There was some indication here that the President after fully analyzing - the results of the election might make a statement later in the day. If he does observers felt he might discuss the New York victory which he urged in his speech of last Friday night. It was understood that Mr. Roosevelt took particular satisfaction in

0.0.P.SLICES INTO NEW DEAL FOR RICH GAINS
(Continued from Page One)
American Labor Party, one of the New Deal's liberal allies.
Culbert Olson’ (D), who flirted with the $30-every-Thursday pension plan, was elected Governor in California, the first non-Republican to win that office in 45 years. Sheridan Downey (D), who used to be a Townsend pensioner but who also held hands with the $30-Thursday brigade, was elected to the Senate seat held now by Senator McAdoo (D), for whom Mr. Roosevelt failed to obtain primary renomination.
Michigan hit the New Deal hardest, bluntly shunting Governor Murphy out of executive office after a campaign in which his gentle handling of sitdown strikes was the principal issue and during which Mr. Roosevelt and the New Deal national Administration rallied to his defense. Former Governor Frank D. Fitzgerald (R) beat Governor Murphy. He proclaimed his victory “a significant indication of what may happen nationally in 1940.” The New Deal was at stake as Michigan was polled ‘yesterday and the answer seems to have been “no!” Republicans came up. with new
Presidential timber and younger leaders despite the body block that grounded Mr. Dewey in New York. Massachusetts continued its blueblood tradition by choosing Leverett Saltonstall, a Republican descendant of Colonial ancestry, to be the
next Governor, chahging parties for that office for the first time since 1930. . He beat James M. Curley (D), who lost the Senate race two years ago to another Republican blue-blood, Senator Lodge Mr. Salstqnstall, or in the office where #Calvin Coolidge once presided, may be pardoned an occasional thought of the White House. Pennsylvania offers Judge Arthur H. James, former coal miner, as potential Republican Presidential material. He was elected Governor in a poll which returned the Keystone to the Republican arch. Senator Davis (R) retained his seat there, defeating Governor Earle. (D). Ohio is in with two Republican favorite sons, Robert A. Taft, son of a President, who defeated New Deal Senator Bulkley, and John W. Bricker, who will be the first G. O. P. Governor there since 1930.
