HOOVER ELECTED PRESIDENT
Reelected Delegate to Congress
Appears That Neither Democrats Nor Republicans Have Been Successful in Electng a Straight Legisla-
 tive Ticket in the First Division

@A called America's most remarkable political campaign and election has resulted in the greatest triumph in history for Herbert Hoover, Repub- lican President elect. He has cap tured 40 states out of 48 and in so doing has shattered the heretofore solidly Democratic south in piling up his 444 electoral votes out of a possible 531. Smith got only ST.
 Hoover defeated Smith in Texas, Florida, North Carolina, and Vir- ginia, states which have always gone Democratic in previous elections.
 This elections sweeping turnover did not leave Republican strong holds unscathed, for Smith went in to rockribbed New England and cap tured Massachusetts and Rhode Is land-a feat regarded as almost im- possible before the election.
 Smith carried the following states with an electoral vote of ST: Ala bama, Georgia, Massachusetts, Missi- sippi, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Arkansas and Louisiana. In the southern states his lead does not compare with those of former Demo- cratid candidates. Massachusetts and Rhode Island however, have not gone democratic since 1912 until this election.
 Smith appeared to be unruffled by his overwhelming defeat, at least on the surface. He declared, however, that he does not intend to again com pete for office He said, ''I certainly do not expect to run for public office again. I've been in public life for a quarter of century and I have had all can stand of it"
 MT. Hoover received the news of his election with elation. He issued the following statement: 'I can make an adequate expression of grat- itude for the overwhelming confi- dence of our people who without re- gard to section or interest have se- lected me for President of the whole United States. There has been vim dication of great issues and determi- nation of the true road of progress. The Republican party has again been assessed with great responsibility"
 Republicans hold complete control of the House and Senate. The Re- publican party after March will have majority of seven or eight in the Senate and a majority of 75 or more in the House of Representatives as the result of important victories in Congressional contests.
 Indications are that there will be 54 Republicans in the Senate even if the Senatorial elections in Washing ton and Virginia go against their candidates.
 The election of Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mccormick, Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen and Mrs Ruth Pratt to the House of Representatives, bring the total fem; mine contingent in that body up to seven.
 Chicago did an unusual thing by electing De Prieste to Congress. Ow- ing to his being involved in various political scandals his right to sit with that body may be contested. Louis Emmerson was elected Govern or of Illinois by large majority Franklin Roosevelt, close friend of Governor Al Smith, was still running in lead with only few districts to be heard from and his defeat of AL bert Ottinger for governship of New York has practically been conceded.

The failure of the state legislature

that the Blue Book has become an inn

Immediately arranged to provide the
new edition.
The 1923 edition might better be
| termed the Arizona State Encyclo-
pedia, because Of the fact that the in
formation contained in the previous
issues will be but one fourth of that
contained in the new. Not only will
it deal with the administrative Ari-
zona, but it will also give interesting
and valuable information regarding
almost anything person would want
to know about the state, including the
historical, descriptive, and industrial
features. It will also be well illus
trated.

MAN IS SENT

Misfortune has followed fast upon
misfortune for Frank Reynolds, pris-

He thought he was unlucky because
he was in Jail, but yesterday morning
when he was seized by violent pains
in abdomen and the county physician
told him that he had acute appendicitis
he couldn't see anything cute about 1T.
Reynolds was loaded into an am
bulance and took the long ride from
Tombstone, the county seat, to the
county hospital here. He arrived at 4
p. m. and the nurses reported last
night that no operation had been per-
formed as yet. It is thought probable
that Reynolds will recover from the at
tack without an operation being nee
