: G. O. P. Wins Plurality Over Democrats in - Nation, Excluding 10 States of Solid South

Congress Must Answer Question of Real Victory

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 11 (U. P.).—A showdown to determine the real winners of Tuesday's election was expected today to come quickly in a col-

Republicans Win Indiana In Congressional Race By Gain of 29,000.

(Copyright. 1938, by United Press) NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—The Republican Party is again the largest party in the North and West, a compilation of votes cast in Tuesday's general election, revealed today. But its resurgence was not sufficient to return it to its former majority status. Any general combination of the Democratic Party with third parties would, on the basis of Tuesday’s total vote, put it again in the minority. The compilation was based upon the party vote for Congressional candidates except in a few instances where the vote for Governor or Sen-

ator was substituted because that :

count was more complete.

It included the border states of :

Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and Oklahoma, but exclud-

ed the Democratic Southern states

It was not complete and unofficial |

but the final official returns were Jot expected to materially change t

The compilation (exclusive of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia) showed:

Democratic Vote. .15,334,159 Republican Vote. .15,512,702

Inclusion of the Southern vote would, of course, wipe out the narrow Republican margin. The compilation showed a substantial reduction in the popular vote cast over the nation as a whole as compared with 1936. In that presidential year the total vote exceeded 44,000,000. The popular vote normally declines in off-year elections. This year it was indicated that the total wolud not exceed 34,000,000 'or 35,000,000.

tion of its 1936 vote or in some instances bettering it. The Democratic totals, even in instances where Democratic candidates won, were far below the landslide totals polled by President Roosevelt. Most notable gains scored by Republicans were in the large states of the industrial East and of the Midwest farm belt. Conversely it was in these states that Democratic balloting was farthest off from the huge 1936 margins. . In Ohio, for example, Republicans bettered their 1936 total of 1,127,709 by 82.000, while the Democrats skidded 620,000 votes to 1,127,304. In Pennsylvania, Republicans got 1,658,123 votes, only 32,000 below their 1936 total. But the Democratic poll dropped 725,000 to 1,624,780.

G. O. P. Gains in Indiana

Even in New York where the Democrats retained control, it was by a skimpy margin. ‘The Democratic total dropped 900,000 votes to 2,123,589. The Republican total was > off only 162,000. On the Pacific Coast, where Democrats captured the California Governorship from

- Republicans, it was at the expense

of a 620,000 loss in popular votes, the total falling to 1,146,837. Meanwhile, Republicans actually polled nearly 150,000 more votes for Congressional seats in California this year than for Alf M. Landon in 1936. Their total was 979,431. Illinois showed an 875,000 Democratic drop while Republicans lost only 300,000. Indiana had a Dem-

State Chairman Says Gil-

lette’s 2070 Margin Will Fall in Statewide Check.

DES MOINES, Nov. 11 (U. P.).— J. H. Milroy, Republican

chairman, predicted today that former Senator Lester J. Dickinson (R) will win the Iowa Senatorial contest over Senator Gillette, incumbent Democrat, when an official

canvass of Tuesday's balloting is complete. Senator Gillette won the seat by 2070 votes, according to complete unofficial returns. “Reports indicate many errors in present tabulations,” Mr. Milroy said, “particularly in certain counties. “Republican precinct and county workers have been advised to make the most careful checks possible to insure a correct and honest count.” Mr. Dickinson's son and campaign manager, L. Call Dickinson, indicated that he plans to demand a recount. He said he would not cecided on whether to ask the recount until after the official canvass.

‘Rep. Martin Calls

WPA ‘Serfdom’

BOSTON, Nov. 11 (U. P.).—Rep. Joseph W. Martin Jr. (R. Mass.), slated for the House Republican floor leadership. was en route to Washington today after promising to press for a sweeping investigation of WPA political activities in every state. WPA conditions in Massachusetts, he said last night, constitute ‘“serfdom as vicious as in Russia.” “The Senate has been making an inquiry into the situation, but that inquiry was directed only to those states in which there were Senatorial elections,” he said.

Democratic delegation from the South will have to be kept happy if Mr. Roosevelt is to obtain what he wants from the new Congress. There is a nominal two-thirds Democratic majority in the new Senate. But the Southern conservatives and anti-New Deal Democrats from other areas probably found new courage in Tuesday’s returns. The showdown will come when issues compel Mr. Roosevelt either to compromise with those congressional conservatives or drive them into open opposition. They have determined now that he shall not have a third term, nor even the nomination if conservative strategy can prevent it. Tuesday's returns showing Senator Clark (D. Mo.)

F.D.R. TOPUSH NEW DEAL AIMS

No Threat to Liberalism in Election Returns, Says President.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11 (U. P.). —President Roosevelt indicated today that Republican gains in Tuesday’s election would not deter him from his chief New Deal objectives and he declared he did not envisage a coalition of Republicans and conservative Democrats to oppose him Mr. Roosevelt, making his first comment on the election at his regular press conference, said he saw in the returns no threat to the continuation of liberal government. “I do,” a newspaperman suggested. The resident told him that he was too “close to the forest. A favorite expression of the President is that some persons cannot see the forest for the trees.

He was asked at his press conference what he thought of the election returns and he replied that they were all right so far as he was concerned. In response to further in-

quiries he indicated there would be no change in his determination to reach New Deal objectives. He said that he had expected the New York elections to come out just about the way they did. On’ the Senatorial races. ne said his predictions were wrong in but one case. He estimated a loss of seven seats, he explained, instead of eight. As to the loss of seats in the House he declared that he figured a net Democratic reduction of 65. He made no - estimates on Governorships, he added, except to predict that Governor Lehman would carry New York. Mr. Roosevelt revealed that before he goes to Warm Springs, Ga., Nov. 21 for a Thanksgiving holiday he will fill a large number of vacancies in various Government departments.

LANSING, Mich, Nov. 11 (U. P). “—Governor Murphy will become a private citizen and practice law in Detroit when he leaves the executive office Jan. 1. ® “There is no basis for reports that I will accept a Federal appointment,” the Governor said at a press conference last night. “The only thing I can go back to with dignity is to private citizenship. Mr. Kemp (Edward G. Kemp, the Governor's legal adviser) and I expect to form a law partnership and practice in Detroit.” ‘With that definite statement Governor Murphy spiked rumors that he might accept appointment to the Supreme Court, to a Federal District Court in Michigan or to the United States Circuit Court ‘of Appeals.
