"In u usual American way We
will now proceed 70 forget our Do
litical differences. and under The
leadership Of Hoover will attain

IN regard 10 the vote in the south,
Mr.. Creager stated that he consid-

II have always advocated the -wo-

pleasure that I see the south. and es-

Creager, who has taken an active
part in the national campaign IN the
north as well as in Texas. was one
the original p~ropoaRnts of Herbert
Hoover as the republican STANDARD
bearer. and il was largely through
hisinfluence, republican leaders as
sert, that the south sent almost old
Hoover delegations 70 Kansas City.
Following the meeting Of the re-
publican national committee In
which Creager was first 70 announce
for Hoover as the republican cardi-
date. he returned to the south and
organized the southern delegations
for the Kansas City convention.
Since the convention practically his

WY accOtAdAtu IItNSI
Substantial republican majorities
in both the senate and house ere
rolling in today behind the tide Of
Hoover votes.
In the senate where they now have
only a plurality Of one. the republic
cans have captured six seats now
held by democrats, and have appar-
entity held to all their own Is NJ
stake in yesterdays election.
The Hoover wave in Kentucky
carried with it nine republican mem
bers Of the house OF that states rep
re%sentation Of IL, and six Of these
republicans replace democrats. How
ever. other defections in the demo
cratic south in the presidential con-
test failed TO make material shift in
the normal representation of those
states in the house. So the repub-
leans have increased their present
majority of 35 so far by little more
than the margin given them by Ken
