A Chevrolet sedan occupied by four
passengers, tipped over in the Dooley
district, in the wee hours of Sunday
morning, after the occupants had at
tended a dance in a school house near
Dooley and were returning to Plenty

the passengers were only slightly in

not to be so badly disabled but what

Late Returns Increase Lead
The late returns have served only
to emphasize the immensity OF the
republican sweep that embraced the
entire west and most Of the east and
also extended into four traditionally
democratic states Of the south.-Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, Florida and
Texas.

Of the nations precincts remaining

have polled up in 40 states. Smith
held the lead in eight others, six Of
them in the south and two IN the
east, Massachusetts and Rhode Is-
land. Only Alabama, Georgia, South
Carolina, Mississippi, Arkansas and
Louisiana in Dixie remained definite
ly under the democratic banner.
When more than three-quarterB Of
/ the popular vote had been counted 20
total exceeding 30,000,000, Hoover
was pulling away from Smith with a
margin Of approximately 100000.
BY the same mandate with which IL

the electorate likewise increased that

OF congress and gave republicans a

contests.
Following a trend established ear
