seating thirty.seven persons in COM
parison with a seating capacity of
twenty-one in the present Chevy

EIROII, NOV. Sin one OF the
bitterest elections in history. John
c. Lodge, former president of the
council, was elected mayor of De-
troit yesterday over John w. Smith,
incumbent, by about 5000 majority.
He was supported by the Anti
Saloon League.
Lodge, aside from defeating
Smith, a dripping wet. set prece-
dent by coasting in without having
made a campaign speech.
Early in the night Smith was
confident of victory as he piled up
lead after lead. He was still in the
lead when nearly 500 precincts out
of 500 had been heard from.
Suddenly the trend of the returns
changed and Lodge caught and
passed the mayor.
Backers of Mayor Smith charged
that thousands of qualified electors
were deprived of their vote because
their names were left off the polling
books. Legal action against the
election commission aimed at invali-
dating the whole election was
threatened.
Wet leaders in Detroit were quick
to deny that the race was a test of
wet and dry sentiment in Detroit.
Lodge expressing his gratitude and
commenting on the wet and dry
issue, said:
1T really was no issue, but I am
sure the people who know me know
that our laws will be enforced in a
decent and orderly manner without
aid or advice from professional
drys or professional shoppers"

LEXINGTON, KY, Nov. g.
Totals compiled show that Elem D.
Sampson. Republican candidate for
governor of Kentucky, apparently
has piled up a safe lead over j. C.
W. Beckham, the Democratic candi-
date.
Sampson carried Louisville by ap.
proximatelv 5000 votes while his
majority in Lexington will exceed
5000. In western Kentucky, the
vote was light and Beckham's
ma .iority in his own stronghold was
reported at 10000, which is about
half of what his campaign leaders
had hoped for.
The mountain vote was being re-
ported today and early returns in
dicated that Sampson would run
up a ma iOrity of nearly 10000 in
the Republican hill country. prac.
tically assuring him of decisive
lead.
Republican leaders last night ex-
pressed their gratitude to the voters
of Kentucky for the manner in
which they responded TO the pro.
longed plea. voiced during the
campaign, for the preservation Of

made the State famous through the

at four blond children playing around

Lace Appears Often
On Frocks

When you look over the en-
chanting new Easter Frocks
you will be amazed at the
great number Of ways in
which they utilize lace as
vestee fronts, cascading in
jabot effects, forming
flounces, pleated collars and
cuffs. Usually the lace is
dyed to match the georgette,
chiffon or silk crepe Of the
frock it embellishes, but every
now and then one observes
that it is allowed to offer
contrast.
