Smith apparently had won
only Alabama, Arkansas, Geor-
gia, Louisiana, Mississippi,
South Carolina, Rhode Island
and Massachusetts, for total
Of eighty-seven electoral votes.
At IL a. m. the electoral standings
were Hoover, 404; Smith, So, and SO
doubtful.
Smith seemed sure of only Ala
bana, Georgia, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi and South Carolina in the
heretofore solid south and had N
addition the five electoral votes of
Rhode Island.
The doubtful states were Montana,
North Carolina, Texas and Utah.
Disaster for Democrats
Smith nearly had 100000 more
votes than Wilson had when the lat
ter won his second presidential term
in 1916; 100000 more than John
w. Davis had four years ago, and
100000 more than James NJ. Cox
coaXed to the polls in 1920.
His electoral total, however, was
the saddest Democratic showing
ever made. Cox, crushed in the
Harding landslide of 1920, had the
previous low electoral total of 1877.
Even to equal this Smith must carry
every doubtful state as well as those
listed for him.
Tie forenoon's returns only con-
f1rrned the Smith disaster Small
leads he held in Utah and North
Carolina were wrested from him by
small margins.
His only solace was the fact that
complete unofficial returns in Rhode
Island gave him the five electoral
vote of that tiny state which never
had ratified the prohibition amend
ment.
Breaks in Solid South
Of the states in which Governor
Smith made formal speeches dur
ing his spectacular 15,000-mile cam
paign tour only one-Massachu-
setts-cast it's vote for him.
The little group of Democratic
drys, headed by Bishop Cannon of
Virginia, who opposed Smiths
stand on prohibition at Houston,
apparently made good in their ef-
forts to swing southerners against
him.
The states where they were most
active-Virginia, North Carolina,
Florida, Texas and the border
states-all apparently supported
Hoover, the first Republican candl-
date to break into the old south.
Hoover is upsetting all expecta-
tionS by his terrific vote in the
south. He has carried Virginia and
is ahead in Florida. In Texas he
and Smith have been seeSawing
back and forth for twelve hours.
North Carolina, heretofore consid-
cred as certain to be carried by
Smith, turned somewhat to the
doubtful list today when Hoover
took the lead and held an advantage
of approximately 5000 with count
ing nearing completion.
In only two southern states did
Hoover fail to register an impressive
vote-South Carolina and Louisiana.
He has carried the entire border,
including Maryland, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Missouri and Oklahoma.
Close Race in Florida
His victory in Virginia and his
close race in Florida and Texas
supposed all expectations on the
part of his managers. They had
hoped to get North Carolina but
lost that.
While Smith had no victories to
his credit in the farm belt, h.
surpassed all expectations on he
some states, particularly Illinois. IL
Nebraska, however, even the help
of Senator Norris failed to bring
him within hailing distance of Hoo

Day.

Herbert Hoover carried
Marion county over Alfred E.
Smith by 33,979 votes unofficial
returns from all the 269 pre-
cincts showed this afternoon.
Hoovers unofficial total was 1O8,-
SCI and Smiths 1882. 10
Franck G. Daley, Democratic can
didate for Governor at the same
time piled up a majority of 21,251
over Harry G.. Leslie, Republican,
according to the complete unofficial
returns. Daley was listed with 100,-
875 and Leslie 1924.
Ludlow Big Victor
Louis Ludlow, Democratic nomi-
nee for congressman of the Seventh
district, won from Ralph E. Updike,
Republican incumbent, by 10.491
votes, according to the complete un-
official total. Ludlow was given
96,571 and Updike, 86,080.
Twenty-nine thousand Marion
county Republicans who voted for
Hoover did not vote for Leslie.
This and the fact that the Demo-
Gratis cracked the always Republican
black belt for Daley, and several
Negro precincts for Smith loomed
large in the post-mortem on Tues
days voting in the county.
Chief comfort of the Democrats
in an election which swept away
their fond hopes of blasting control
OF the county from George V. Cof-
fin, Republican district chairman,
was the election of Ludlow over
Updike, known as the boy congress-
man protege of Coffin and D. G.
Stephenson.
Only Blow Struck
This, however, was the only blow
to Cofin'S prestige, as he put across
the rest of the Republican state
ticket and his entire county ticket.
The vote in Marion county broke
all records for size, the total run
ming 1874 for Hoover and Smith
in the 269 precincts as unohicially
reported.
Total presidential vote in the
county in 1924 was a little more
than 100000.
Crusher for Leslie
Dailey's crushing blow to Leslie in
Marion county was unexpected by
Republican leaders, who had gone
about waving big bills to wager that
Leslie would carry the county, as
late as Tuesday.
Two hundred f1fty-two precincts,
unofflcially tabulated, gave United
States Senator Arthur R. Robinson
92,254 over Albert Stump, his Demo-
cratic opponent for reelection, who
had 1887.
