Wallace’s Name on Ticket Fails to Swing State To Democrats. DES MOINES, Ia., Nov. 6 (U. P.). < Wendell L. ‘Willkie appeared today

to have won Iowa's 11 |electoral votes despite the presence of Henry

A. Wallace, native son candidate for:

Vice President, on the Democratic ticket. © Mr. Wallace, former Secretary of Agriculture and director of {the New Peal farm program which| contributed heavily to the income of Iowa corn farmers, lost his home precinct in Des Moines by more than 550 votes. However, President RooseVelt and Mr. Wallace carried Polk (Des Moines) County, normally Republican, by almost: 10,000. votes. Gov. George A. Wilson, Repubcan, won re-election over his Democratic opponent, John K. Valentine, and carried the entire Republican state ticket with him. Returns from 1835 of the state’s 2453 precincts gave “For President, Willkie 487,214, Roosevelt 446,156. FReturns from 1803 preeincts gave: “Por Governor: Wilson] 459,452, Valentine 419,195. There was no contest for Senator in Iowa this year. Six of Iowa's incumbent -Republican representatives in | Congress and two other Republicans|appeared certain to be. elected. One of the two Democratic incumbents, Rep. william® Jacobsen, apparently was assired re-election.. The other, Rep. Vincent Harrington, was trailing Alpert, F. Swanson, the Republican candidate,

Chairman William Allen White of the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies announced that “unity mass meetings” would be held throughout the nation within the next few days. “The mass meetings,” Mr. White said, “should plead for unity of national spirit in support of a foreign

policy to defend America by aiding the Allies. This is appropriate inasmuch as both presidential candidates pledged all aid to the Allies.”

Urges Literature Burned

Mr. White proposed that Democratic and Republican. campaign_ literature and . buttons be burned at public “unity? bonfires. In Chicago, Frank Knox, Secretary of the Navy, asserted that it now “becomes the duty of every good American to foster and promote a national unity. “It has been the undisguised hope of Berlin, Rome and Tokyo,” he said, “that the election would leave us disastrously divided. We must prove that a vain hope, ‘ “The doubts and the hesitations which the campaign produced are now behind us. The hitterness which it engendered must be forgotWe must, for = our mational safety, become one people devotedly pursuing a single purpose under our constitutionally selected one leader—the President.”

Bitterness Passes

Democratic National Committee Chairman Edward J. Flynn said that “With the election there passes whatever bitterness there has been in this campaign.” He asserted that those who supported Wendell Willkie would join President Roosevelt in his efforts to keep. “our nation out of war and carry on the program of economic progress that has brought us for far on the road to recovery.” Former Democratic National Committee Chairman James A. Farley. also made a radio plea for unity. “Now, perhaps as never before in its history, the United States has need for national unity,” Mr. Farley said. “The excitement of the campaign must not blind our eyes to the dangers of the perilous world in which we live. We must go forward without delay or interruption along the path which we have been following in the nation since the ugly form of ‘total war’ engulfed the nations of Europe and the Orient.”

“Forget Class’—Perkins

Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins declared that “during such a time as the present there should be no accent on class or group structures such-as capital and labor, but rather on solid democratic unity of the nation.” Leading supporters of both major political * parties meet int New York's Carnegie Hall tonight in an “America united rally.”

‘| President ‘Roosevelt today as the

state gave him a plurality of more than 100,000 votes over the Republican candidaté, Wendell L. Willkie, in Tuesday's election. Ohio’s Republican governor, John W. Bricker, held a commanding lead over Martin L. Davey, former | Democratic governor, however, and Mayor Harold H. Burton of Cleveland, Republican candidate for United - States Senator, was leading John McSweeney, Democrat, of Wooster. For President, returns from 8043 out of 8675 precincts gave:

line-up in the present Congress is 16 Republican and six Democrats.

Carries All Large Cities

The Republican incumbents held small leads for the two at-large Congressional seats. Long before midnight it became apparent that Ohio would give its electoral votés.to Mr. Roosevelt for the third successive time. . The President either carried or was leading in all of Ohio's eight large cities. He took most of the semiurban districts as well. - It appeared that the total vote in Ohio might. set a new record.

"' Ballots ‘Separated

Thé Ohio ballot was “split.” Some months ago the Republican State Administration put through the Legislature a measure to separate the national and state tickets. + If Bricker is re-elected Governor, it will be the first time since the Republican Party came into being that Ohio has given its votes to the Democratic Presidential candidate and "a Bepublican gubernatorial candidate. Ohio’s electoral vote has been on the side of the winning candidate since 1892.
