FIRST Pl’TNAM COUNTY VOTES RECEIVED EARLIER THAN USUAL Election returns in Putnam county came in somewhat earlier than had been expected in Tuesday’s election and the cast precinct of Madison township reported on its presidential vote early in the evening, while other precincts reported their county vote prior to ten o’clock, it being evident that the county ballot had been counted ahead of other ballots. Big crowds Jammed the court house where radio and wire reports were being received and each return was awaited with great interest, especially those on county candidates. On the first precincts to report, President Roosevelt and M. Clifford Townsend, the candidate for governor, took a commanding lead and held it on each succeeding return, although the Republican vote within the city reduced the majority in the totals. Heavy Democratic voting from the precincts in the county offset the Republican votes in Greencastle and gave the Democratic state and national tickets a lead after a half dozen precincts reported. The closest races in the county were those for congress between Airs. Virginia E. Jenckes and Noble Johnson, both of Terre Haute, and for prosecuting attorney between Fred V. Thomas, the Democratic nominee and Albert E. Williams, present prosecutor who was seeking re-election. Other close races were those for treasurer between Jesse F. Young, incumbent and Roland Lane, Republican; and the two commissioners’ contests between Gwin Ensign, Republican and William H. Eiteljorge for the second district and Buford Lee Fall, Republican and Oscar E. Cramer, Democrat and present comrnisisoner, from the First district, who was seeking re-election. All these races were closely contested on the early returns and in some instances, it may require the final tabulation to decide the winners. In the county contests, Albert Williams had the largest lead over his Democratic opponent, Fred V. Thomas of any Republican, and others were changing on about every precinct reporting. SENATOR NORRIS RE-ELECTED BY VOTERS OF NEBRASKA

The voters of Nebraska yesterday sent Senator George W. Norris, veteran Republican, back to the senate for another term of six years. This time he was re-elected on an independent ticket with the support of President Roosevelt who endorsed him over the regularly nominated Democratic candidate. Senator Norris has been one of the staunchest supporters of the new deal. Last year ho announced his retirement from the senate and said he would not seek re-election. However, after the primaries, he reconsidered at the special request of President Roosevelt and entered the rampnipn as au Independent candidate and was elected in Tuesday’s voting.

EAST MADISON PRECINCT WAS FIRST TO REPORT ITS VOTE The election board in East Madison precinct was the first to make a report in the Putnam county balloting on Tuesday. The presidential ballot was counted first as was required by law, and this precinct showed a total of 96 for President Roosevelt and 51 for Governor Landon. As a comparison of this vote and that of four years ago, it showed three Republicans voted for Roosevelt in 1936. making the difference of six votes over that of 1932 when the vote was Roosevelt 90 and Hoover 54.

F. D. R. RE-ELECTED (Continued from Page One) bership of but 88 Republicans. California, Delaware, Illinois, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania. Connecticut, and Rhode Island were among states which either tentatively or finally had contributed to Democratic gains. Republicans appeared likely to pick up seats in Kansas, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and possibly Iowa and Wisconsin.

CONCORD. N. H„ Nov. 4, (UP) — New Hampshire, eastern home of the Republican vice-presidential nominee Frank Knox, went into the Roosevelt column today. Returns from all but two of the 297 precincts in the state gave: Roosevelt 102,412; Landon 100,347; Lemkc 3,703; Roosevelt’s margin 2,065. Only precincts unreported were the towns of Claremont, a Democratic stronghold, and Farmington, a relatively small community. » . Earlier in the day Knox’s Manchester Union had conceded New Hampshire to Roosevelt. It was the first time since the "Bull Moose” bolt of 1912 that the Granite state had gone Democratic in a presidential election. In that year New Hampshire gave Wilson 34,724, Taft 32,927, and Theodore Roosevelt 17,794. With the defection of New Hampshire, Landon was assured of the electoral votes of only two states— Vermont and Maine.
