Returns Indicate; G. 0. P. Holds Lead.
For All but
Indiana Republicans repeated their performance of 1918 at the polls Tuesday in: winning overwhelming majorities
One Office.
in both houses of the state legislature, it appeared today.
Incomplete returns from throughout the state indicated that the Republicans would have at least 80 of the 100 house
seats and nearly 40 of the 50 Two years ago, the G. O. P. had a 31-to-19 control of the state senate and a 64-to-36
margin in the gous. In the comparable 1918 election,
the Republicans increased their}
number of members in the senate over tfle previous session‘ from 24 to 34 and their house representation from 64 to 82,
Minority Leader Loses
Among the Democratic state sen-,
ate candidates defeated were Roger H. Phillips, New Albany, minority leader during the last session. His Republican opponent was William C. Bates of New Albany. ~ Among the prominent Republicans re-elected to the house were Reps. Hobart Creighton of Warsaw, George W. Henley of Bloomington, Glenn Slenker of Monticello and Roy Harrison and former Speaker James Knapp of Hagerstown. It is from this group that the next speaker of the house probably will be chosen. Lieut. Gov. Charles Dawson, a Republican, will preside over the senate.
Republicans Returned
Among ‘the Republican state senators re-elected were Thurman Biddinger of Marion, Davies A. Batterton of Greensburg, John W. VanNess of Valparaiso, Albert Ferris of Milton, I. Floyd Garrott of Lafayette . and O. Bruce of Bainbridge. State Senator Von A. Eichhorn of Uniondale, a Democrat, was re-elected. ‘Meanwhile, recent returns on the state ticket today showed Republicans leading in every office but one by margins of 90,000 to 110,000. Secretary of state candidates were leading both Republican and Democratic tickets with Rue Alexander, Pine Village Republican, ahead of Winfield Dentori, Evansville Democrat, by 98,000. Approximately 85 per “cent of the 4000 precincts in the state were tabulated . Harry McClain of Shelbyville, Democratic candidate for treasurer of state, expected to lead the Democratic ticket, was taking the worst beating of any candidate: on the ticket. Reports from 3346 precincts today gave him only 390,120 votes, compared with 507,653 for Republican incumbent James M. Givens of Porter.
James Lead Grows
Richard ,James, Republican auditor of state, was leading E. Curtis White of Indianapolis, Democratic candidate for the. office, by. more _ than 110,000 votes. Eo Attorney General George N. Beamer, Democrat, trailed hopelessly by more than 90,000 votes behind Judge James Emmert, Shelbyville Republican. Nearest thing on the ticket ‘to a close race was _ that between Dr. Clement Malan, Republican incumbent, and Democrat Ralph Watson, both of Terre Haute, for superintendent of public instruction. The race still was definitely tc the Republicans, however, with a margin of 44,000 votes.

6.0, P. PARADES BACK TO JOBS
Organization Will Handle Patronage; 3200 Places To Be Filled.
By EARL RICHERT The G. O. P. march for jobs in the city hall and courthouse, jobs which Democrats have held for most of the past 15 years, was on today. Republican County Chairman Henry E. Ostrom, who several weeks ago obtained a pledge from all candidates that patronage would be handled through the county organ-
ization, said that he would set up headquarters within the next two
‘|days where he would be available
to his party’s precinct workers. He said that he would get cut a letter to the precinct workers thanking them for their work at the polls and telling them that he would have regular office hours when they could come in and “tell me what they've got in their mind.” “I'm not going to leave town,” he said. 3200 - Jobs Available
It is estimated there are some 3200 jobs that will fall to the Republicans as a result of Tuesday’s election. The Democrats generally were knee-deep in glocm as they pre= pared to evacuate city hall and most of the offices in the courthouse to their Republican opponents on Jan. 1. The only bright spot in the picture for them was the election of their veteran congressman, Louis Ludlow, to his eighth straight term, and the re-election of Center Township Trustee Henry Mueller and Assessor James F. Cunningham. With all but two of the county's 366 precincts counted, Rep. Ludlow was leading by 609 votes.
Tally Sheets Missing
The two missing precincts are the 11th of the 12th ward and the 2d of the 3d ward. Election com-
missioners said the tally sheets were missing for the two precincts and they probably would reopen the machines sometime today. The 12th ward precinct is expected to go Democratic and the ward 3 precinct, Republican. In Center township, Joseph MecLafferty, Democrat, defeated Ernest T. Lane, Republican, for justice of the peace, on the basis of unofficial tabulations. In the county races, the Republicans won by majorities ranging

Gladys J. Haney, Sparta, Wis, a member of the Wisconsin Folklore society, estimated in the current issue of the Journal of American Folklore that more than 60 books, pamphlets and magazine articles have been inspired by Bunyan’s prowess. Five of the 17 full-length books written about the lumberjack and Babe the Blue Ox are in poe- ! try, although hairy, muscular Bunyan would have scorned them as “sissy stuff.” ~ Musicians, sculptors and painters, too, have created tributes to Bunyan. Prof. Ray F. Dvorak, conductor of the University of Wisconsin band, wrote a “Paul Bunyan March.” Arthur Kreutz has composed a Paul Bunyan suite.

Contingent at Stout Field Proves Its Efficiency Early
The troop carrier command with headquarters here at Stout field ‘may be only a few months old— {but it is efficient.’
That was the ;word today from its commanding officer, Brig.-Gen. Fred Borum, following a month's maneuvers by the TCC near Ft. Sam Houston, Tex. Thousands of men and hundreds of pieces of equipment including jeeps, anti-tank guns, mortars. and machine guns were ferried hundreds of miles by air. The TCC flew the planes and and equipment. - They carried airborne infantry and its equipment while the planes also carried paratroopers. During the snaneuvers, the troops were assigned to capture three “enemy” airports.
Parachutists Drop
The first step in each task was the dropping of hundreds of parachute troops with equipment during the night. It was their job to knock out the “enemy” to permit the landing of the troop planes and gliders which were scheduled to begin pouring in men shortly after dawn. When the gliders and troop planes came over, they dropped down one after another. As soon as one was emptied, it took off to make another trip to bring in more men and equipment, As soon as a plane landed, the soldiers poured out, rifles ready. Equipment followed quickly—guns, supplies, . jeeps—and the troops moved off to cover to keep the air field in our control.
They Have Two Jobs
Participating with the TCC in the maneuvers were units of the airborne command—the paratroopers and soldiers moved by. gliders and transport planes. It's the job of the TCC to train the fliers and the job of the airborne command to

Blandy Credited With Efficient Anti-Aircraft Used by Navy.
WASHINGTON, Nov, 5 (U. PJ). —The navy today gave credit to Rear Admiral William Henry Purnell Blandy for the highly’ efficient anti-aircraft defenses on American naval vessels. Admiral Blandy at 52 is chief of the bureau of ordnance, one of the
tant post.” Long before Germany's invasion of Poland, Admiral Blandy saw:the vital role that would have to be played by anti-aircraft defenses. He preached his views within the navy and then went about doing something about it. It -'was no mere accident of navy
Blandy came to head the bureau of ordnance. He specialized in gun and fire control design, studying manufacturing at the Midvale Corp. plant in Nicetown, Pa., design at the naval gun factory here, and interior ballistics at the navy proving ground at Dahlgren, Va. He is the author of several booklets on various phases of ordnance
