NEW YORK, Nov. s.-Thls eIcc-
tion has brought the Democratic
party face to face with the problem
of what it's future is to be.
This is the third successive defeat
for the party and its worst. Re-
turns by the Unitcu Press show
Herbert Hoover with Al electoral
votes, passing even the record of
Wilson who received 435 due to the
Republican split between Taft and
Roosevelt. Smith is shown with
only 81 votes, the lowest of any
Democratic presidential and ranking
next to the historic eight votes OF
Taft in 1912 for the consolation
prize of presidential politics.
Both candidates, however, pollcd
. a tremendous popular vote. Latest
compilations by the United Press
show IIoovcr's vote at 1929, ,027
and Smith at l2,S0l 1856. This
gives Hoover a plurality of 5,l21,-
Sil.
The Democratic party's national
ticket, though bolstcrcd with a
vicc-prcsidcntial candidate from the
solid south, lost four of those sup
posedly imprcgnabc states which
had been Democratic since recon
struction days. 1t carried only two
states outside of the south-'Mas'
sachusctts and Rhode Island which
apparently were carried by Smith
due To a combination of Catholic,
wet and foreign population.
All of this defeat came in face
of the fact that Smith reversed the
historic policy of his party on the
tariff andN lined it up abreast of the
Republicans on the issue OF protec-

REPUBLICANS TO
RETAIN CONTROL
in BOTH HOUSES:
Election Gives Hoover
Working Majority In
Congress.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press Staff Correspondentl


NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-Republi.
cans will hold a definite whip hand
in congress as n result of the Tues
day election, United Press returns
showed today.
The Hoover landslide swept aside
many veteran Democratic congress
men in both the senate and the
house and as a result the president
elect will take office with a con
grcss definitely aligned to his
policies. He will have even great
err majority than the Republican
congress during the Coolidge admin
istration.
Returns indicated the new con
grcss would find the Republicans
having eight more seats in the sen
ate and perhaps 90 more in the
house than the majority they held
in the last congress. This will give
them IA definite margin.
One chief result of this lineup
will be that the balance of power
no longer will rest with the Repub-
lican insurgents of the midwest.
Their balance of power had been
such that they could vote with the
Democrats to stave off Republican
legislation and many times in the
course of the last congress their
votes succeeded in bringing about Il
paralyzation of the progress Of i'm
portant legislation.
Veterans Lose Out
The Hoover landslide apparently
has carried away with it many
familiar figures of the senate.
Senator Peter G. Gerry of Rhode
Island apparently was defeated by
Judge Felix licbcrt.
Senator Edward I. Edwards of
New jersey was defeated by llamil-
ton s. Kedan his Republican op-
poncnt.
Senator Thomas F. Bayard, De-
mocrat of Delaware, also was de-
featcd.
Senator David Bruce of Maryland
was defeated by the Republican, 7,
\. Goldsborough.
There even will be Republican
senator from Missouri to replace the
veteran Senator James A. Reed, who
has announced his retirement from
politics. Roscoe c. Patterson, Re
publican, apparently has defeated
Charles NJ. Hay the Democratic can
didate for Reed s seat.
Many of the eastern Democrats
were listed as vets and their de-
feat could bc considered strength
cning the dry majority Of the SEN
ate.
One contest remained in doubt
this morning for senate post, in
West Virginia, where Senator
Nrely, Democrat, appears TO have
been defeated by Henry d. Hat
field, Republican.

SMITH TO SEEK
FOR JOB WHEN
TERM EXPIRES
BY MAX BUCKINGHAM
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-Graduated
from his % year school of politics,
Gov Alfred +. Smith started today
on the course all graduates must
take = that of looking for job.
There was no trace of disappOint-
mcnt about the governor as he start
ed packing up this morning prcpara-
tory to returning to Albany where
for four terms he has served the
voters of New York state. He seem
ed as eager as almost any school boy
to find his job.
What that Job will be depends on
9Th boss, Mrs. Smith, the former
Katie Dunn who has followed him
in all the vicissitudes and glorics
that have lead him from East Side
New York obscurity to become a
candidate - albeit unsuccessful -
for the nations highest office.
Depend on it, however, that Smith
is through with running for office.
Rested after his strenuous campaign
and the disappointment at hearing
Tuesday night that even his own
state had not endorsed his presiden-
tial candidacy, Smith told ncwspa-
pcrmen that his name had appeared
on a New York state ballot for the
last time.
Governor Not Rich
The governor and Mrs. Smith will
return this afternoon to Albany
where for a few months Smith will
continue at the head of the New
York state government until his
friend and successor, Franklin ID
Roosevelt, is inauguratcd.
Then it will be a return to the
sidewalks of New York, - in search
of a job Just as he once sought jobs
down on Oliver street - Il searching
that then led him to the Fulton Fish
Market and thence to trucking
corporation.
The governor is not a wealthy man.
His long service to the people has
precluded his amassing a fortune TO
retire on. Therefore New York soon
is to see the former fish salesman,
ward assemblyman, sheriff, COVER
nor, and presidential candidate theo-
retically doffing his derby hat in
the outer office of some concern,
asking that he be employed
