An unprecedented outpouring OF
the American electorate to register
their choice at the polls resulted in
an unprecedented national victory fo1
the republican party, Tuesday, No
vember 6. Forty of the forty-eight
states in the union were carried by
Hoover and Curtis. Even the "solid
south" liquified under the hot fire
of the republican forces. Only six
southern states, Alabama, Arkansas
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and
South Carolina remained in the DEM
ocratic column.
The sweeping victory by the head
OF the ticket carried with it de-
cided increase Of republicans both in
the House and Senate, so that Pres
ident-to-be Hoover may rely upon
enthusiastic support of his policies.
Nebraska, famous for its independ-
ent electorate and considered one of
the doubtful states, rolled up a re-
publican majority of approximately
145,000 for Hoover, electing prac-
tically it's entire state and congress

feated Richard L. Metcalfe for the
