Democrats Sustain Losses in

Ey the Associated Press.
Thirty-four governors were elected
yesterday, and returns today showed
the Republicans were leading in 81
States. There were insufficient reports
from Nebraska and South Dakota to
show the trend, and several of the
other States may change the political
complexion of the governorships when
complete returns are in.
Available returns showed the Re-
publicans in the lead in Arizona, Con-
necticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Indi-
ana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Mime
sofa, Missouri, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota,
Ohio, Rhode Island, Vermont, Wash
ington, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
The Democrats had leads in Arkansas,
Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Massa-
chusetts, Montana, New York, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Utah.
If there is no change this will mark
Republican gain of two governors.
The turn-overs would be from Demo-
cratic to Republican in Arizona, New
Jersey and Ohio, and from Republican
to Democratic in Massachusetts.

WISCONSIN BACK
IN c. 0. P. COLUMN
Republican State Party Can
didateS Are Swept Into
Office.
BY the Associated Press.

MILWAUKEE,, November Swing
ing back into the Republican column
after its revolt four years ago, Wisconsin
yesterday gave Herbert Hoover a ma
jority expected to exceed 100000. Upon
this tide of Republican votes, 1t ap-
peared that all the party candidates,
had been swept into Office.
The State, which in 1924 was alone
in its support of Senator Robert M.
La Toilette, elected Walter j. Kohler,
millionaire manufacturer and supporter
of Hoover, governor over Mayor Albert
G. Schmedeman, Democratic candidate.
Young Robert M. La Toilette, who In
1925, when barely able to qualify because
of his youth, was chosen to fill the
Senate seat vacated by the death OF his
father, was returned for the full six
year term. La Toilette, the Republican
nominee, who failed to support Hoover
and gave out a statement interpreted
by the Democrats as an Endorsement OF
Gov. Smith, was reelected over State
Senator William H. Markham, con-
sentative Republican who ran as an
independent after M. x. Reilly, the
Democratic candidate, withdrew.
La Follette's majority was expected to
exceed 100000.
Four Progressives, Henry A. Huber,
lieutenant governor; John w. Reynolds,
attorney general; Theo Dammann, Sec
rotary of State, and Solomon Levitan,
State treasurer, were elected.
Victor Berger, lone Socialist in Con-
gress, appeared to have been defeated by
William H. Stafford, former Congress
man and the Republican nominee In
the fifth district (Milwaukee).
The success of Hoover and Kohler IN
Wisconsin was accomplished over the
opposition of scores of progressive Re-
publican leaders, including United States
Senator John j. Blaine. 1t installed IN
the governors chair, for the next
biennium, the first Republican support
ing the national party since 1918, when
Emanuel L. Phillip served the State.
For eight successive years the Progress
sives have controlled Wisconsin, al
though Fred r. Zimmerman, governor
the past two years, although follower
of the late Senator La Toilette, was OPP
posed by young Bob La Toilette and
Blaine.

National Ticket in Arkansas
Short of Normal
Majority.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, November T.
The Democratic national ticket, on
which a native son of the State, Sem
ator Joe r. Robinson, vice presidential
nominee. had a tWo-to-one lead in Ar
kansas today, was trailing the State
ticket, with indications it would fall
far short of the normal Democratic
majority.
Reports from 684 out of 2,018 pre-
cincts gave Smith 45,638 and Hoover
24,872.
The returns showed many Democrats
scratched the national candidates, but
cast their votes for State Democratic
nominees. Gov. Harvey Parnel was
leading his Republican opponent, M.
D. Bowers, 1922 TO 9,113, in returns
from 461 precincts, and the majority
of j. H. Womack, State superintendent
of public instruction, the only other
Democratic nominee for State office who
had opposition, was running about the
same.
All Democratic nominees for Congress
apparently were elected, although Sam
Cecil, Republican, was running an I'M
usual race against Claude Fuller in the
third district.
The vote from ass precincts for the
anti-evolution measure was 19,443 for
and 14,609 against.
Hoover showed his greatest strength
in West and Northwest Arkansas, par
tial returns in several places showing
him running almost even with Smith.
In Sebastian County (Fort SMITH %
out of As precincts gave Smith 2,245
and Hoover 2,205.

son, Lonoke, showed an overwhelming
Democratic majority on partial re-
turns, Is out of 90 precincts giving
Smith 1866; Hoover, 352.
Pulaski County little Rock in 40
out of 81 precincts gave Smith 8,421 and
Hoover 4,237.

amendments submitted had majorities

"the doubtful" today was safely in the
Republican column in its major races.
On the face of returns from nearly
half of the State the presidential choice
of this farm State went to Herbert
Hoover. The Hoover majority over Gov.
Alfred E. Smith was approximately 40,-
900 votes.
Howell Seems Certain.
United States Senator r. B. Howell,
Republican, was virtually assured of re-
election with more than $50 precincts
giving him 10000 majority over Rich
ard L. Metcalf, his Democratic oppo-
pent. The Senator, early today, issued a
statement in which he characterized
the Republican sweep as victory for
prohibition.
lone thing is certain" he said, "the
offensive against prohibition has re-
ceived setback from which it will not
recover for many years. The Nation is
to be congratulated.
All State Officers Win.
All State officers were reelected.
Arthur j. Weaver. running for the first
time for governor, went far ahead of
Charles w. Bryan, his Democratic OPP
ponent. Bryan, brother of the late
William Jennings Bryan, and a vice
candidate in 1924, was
running nearly $4,000 votes behind
Weaver.
Three congressional races, however
remain in doubt. Former Senator
Elmer j. Burkett, running for Congress
in the first district against Representa-
tive John Morehead, Democrat, was
slightly behind his opponent with the
majority of precincts still unreported
from Lancaster County, Burkett's home
ground. In the fifth district Repre-
sentative A. B. Shallenberger was run
ming a nip-and-tuck race with Fred
Johnson, Republican. The third con-
test. however, appeared to be less
doubtful. Friends of Representative w.
L. Sears predicted his election over
Harry B. Fleharty, Democratic aspirant.

plum that can fall into a presidential
candidates basket, go to Herbert Hoover,

bright spots in the State returns. Frank

Although Smith was strong in many
of the States cities the vote OF the
smaller towns and rural districts went
heavily to Hoover, who, with the re-
turns more than half in at a late
hour last evening, was able to come
down to the Bronx" as the saying is,
with plurality that gave him the
State.
Roosevelt Sees Fraud.
Roosevelt, who himself polled large
vote upstate as well as in New York
CITY. issued a statement early this
morning in which he said the Demo-
cratic State committee was convinced,
in view of slow returns from approx

fraud was being committed in an effort
to elect Ottinger.
