as impregnable so long as a sufficient
garrison remains for its defense.
The rock is composed Of gray primary
marble. deposited in strata from 20 TO

HOOVER GETS GREATEST
 VOTE IN ALL HISTORY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8, B - The Presidential election of 1928 is passing into history today feav- ing in it's wake the greatest Elec- toral majority ever cast for any candidate.
 The full measure of the over whelming victory which sent even the rock-ribbed Democratic States into Hoover's column is still to be completely ascertained. but from the returns which today are rapidly becoming complete. it is evident this President came into oface with the greatest electoral majority in all history and with a popular vote exceeding that of any before 1t.
 Likewise, the country is still to learn--and 1t no doubt will be done before all the facts are known-how great a part the Pres idential vote played in evening up Hoover's Republican Congress.
 That there will be ar appreciable increase in both House and Senate has been demonstrated. but the re- turns are still inconclusive in the case of numerous contests for mem bership in the House. along the Mason Dixon Horderline and in some other sections whose party lines are not frankly defined.
 In Virginia. for instance, two dis tricts are still in doubt today with chances of leaning toward adding Republican Congressmen to the States roll The Old Dominion State has already contributed two Republicans definitely to the major ity of the Party in house men who were swept into of1ce on the tide of Hoover sentiment which took Virginia from it's Democratic moor ings for the first time since Recon struction days.
 kentucky's leap into the Republi can column was wholehearted and almost complete. In rlace of eight Democrats and three Republicans who represent the State in the pres ent House, the President Hoover wave changed the representation ro nine Republicans and two Dem ocrats.
 The sweeping aside of Democrat ic Congressmen was noted in var ious localities although in two or three instances Republicans were forced to give up their seats to Democrats.
 Senate Democrats also felt the blow of the Hoover landslide. Six in their places up for reelection went to Republicans whereas all the thirteen Republican places were retained by the candidates of that Party. ,.
