Commenting on results of yesterdays
election in Virginia, Gov. Harry F
Byrd said today:
1.-THE overwhelming Democratic vic
tory is high tribute to the character
and capacity of our candidates. Per-
haps never in the history of Virginia
have the people registered their con-
f1dence in any men to a more remark
able degree than when, under the polit-
ical conditions existing, normal Demo
cratic majority was given to Pollard
Price and Saunders.
1.-THE people Enthusiastically Endorsed
the Democratic program of progress
under successive Democratic admins
trationS. And just as emphatically de-
clared themselves against the program
of reaction as offered by the Republican
leaders. The size of the majority can
only be accounted for by the fact that
Independents and many broad-minded
Republicans refused to follow the Re-
publican leadership in their program
of destruction and cast their ballots for
progress under DR.! Pollard's leadership
progress made under Democratic ad-
ministration since Fitzhugh Lee and for
which I personally deserve little, If
any, credit.
"Virginia has ony begun to realize
her wonderful opportunities. Let us
correct any errors the Democratic party
has made in governmental affairs.
Forget the bitterness of this campaign,
and. with the support of all patriotic
Virginians of all parties and factions,
bend our energies to make the admins
tration of John Garland Pollard the
most progressive and the most develop
ing of our economic, social and intellec-
tual resources the State has. ever
known"

own organization for the nomination
was triumphant over Edward w. Cox
Democrat, by 26,560 votes. The VOTE
was Harvey, 1929; Cox, 1869.
Heretofore, Queens, like the other
four boroughs comprising the metropo-
lis, had been a Democratic stronghold
The upheaval started there last Fall
after the conviction of Maurice E. Con-
molly, Democratic borough president
of graft in connection with a sewer con-
Struction scandal. Harvey then was
elected for the uneXpired term.
The Republicans swallowed a bitter
pill in the contest for district attorney
in New York County. Frederic H
Coudert, jr., the Republican nominee
had violently assailed the Tammaily
administration for its failure to solve
the murder of Arnold Rothstein, gam
bier. Thomas c. T. Grain, a veteran
Tammany man, had stepped from the
Supreme Court bench to accept tie
Democratic nomination. District At
torney Joab H. Banton had declined &c
run. The vote was Grain, 214,967;
Coudert, 118,104.
G. o. p. Setback on Island.
Another Republican setback occurred
in the contest for Supreme Court in the
Long Island counties. Stephen Cal
laghan, Republican, whose 14year term
expires this year. was defeated by ap-
proximately $4,000 votes by District At
torney Charles j. Dodd, Democrat, Of
Brooklyn It has been customary for
the major political parties to indorse
the outgoing incumbent, but the Kings
County Democratic leader, John H.
McCooey, refused to follow precedent
and named Mr.. Dodd. His action was
bitterly assailed by prominent members
of the bar, who argued that high jul
dicial positions should be freed of par
tiSanship.

this they carried cities that had Deen

Springfield, Mass; bridgeport, conn,
and Ithaca, N. Y, which is Democratic
for the first time in Is years.
Ordinarily municipal elections might
not have a great deal of bearing on the
national situation, but in yesterday
elections in nearly every case national
issues were brought in and the appear
was made on behalf of the Republicans
that the support of Republican national
policies and the Endorsement OF the

cumbent, Smith.

DETROIT, November 6-Making his
third attempt for the mayoralty Of De-
troit Charles Bowles, former judge of
the Recorders Court, was elected yes

nicipal election since the record vote
of 1924 The total was about 81 per
cent of the city's registration.
At Smith headquarters there was talk
of a possible recount petition, but no
formal statement was issued.
Bowles election was a victory, in
sense, for the administration of Gov.
Fred w. Green In State affairs, although
the governors opposition to Smith was
not an open issue in the mayoralty CAM
paign. Smith was known to be hostile
to the governor, and, with control Of
the heavy Detroit and Wayne County

conventions as the prize. the governors
adherents had hoped for the election
of BowleS.
In some political circles is was said
the election of Bowles probably will in

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 6.-Democ-
racy was more firmly intrenched than
ever in the country'S largest city to-
day as the result of smashing vic
tory all along the line in the quadren-
NAL municipal election yesterday.
Mayor James j. Walker defeated
Representative Fiorello H. La Guardia,
the Republican fusion candidate, by
a plurality of 497,165. Tammany
Hall was a bit disappointed in the
figures, for John F. Curry, the Tam
many chieftain. officiating for the first
time in a mayoralty campaign, had
estimated the margin at $4,000.
The total vote was: Walker, 865, SAG;
La Guardia, 1853, 1874.
But Walker bettered his mark of
about 100000 four years ago when he
defeated Frank D. Waterman.
Thomas Polls Heavy Vote.
Other than the Democratic tidal
wave, the feature of the election was
the heavy vote polled by Norman
Thomas, Socialist. Although only 1000
registered as Socialists, he received
174,931 votes, which represented the
peak vote of his party here. The pre-
viouS record Socialist vote was las, 1892
by Morris Hilquitt in 1917.
Many reasons were advanced for the
Socialist showing. The one most gen.
orally accepted was that it was a per-
sonal tribute to the former clergyman,
who last year carried the Socialist ban
ner in the presidential campaign
Another contributing factor, it was gen.
orally agreed, was that many Repub-
licans of the conservative wing who
were hostile to La Guardia, cast their
votes for Thomas. La Guardia once
was elected to Congress on a Socialist
ticket and it was an open secret that
many old-line, northumberland Re-
publicanS did not regard him as a real
member of the party.
Enright Is Poor Fourth.
Richard E. Enright, who was police
commissioner under Mayor Hylan, ran
a poor fourth as mayoralty candidate
of the newly formed Square Deal party,
polling only $3.50 votes.
Only in battle-Scarred Queens did
the Republicans derive any comfort.

cratic camps.

where Reginald Sullivan was elected
mayor, the Democrats swept through

tests in a number of the States larger

Wayne, South Bend, Evansville, Marion,

cago and in Kokomo, Bloomington and
Richmond.
Following defeat of the Republican
candidate for mayor in yesterdays city
election, George v. Coffin, Republican
city and district chairman, announced
his retirement from politics.
Collins leadership of the Republicans
was made a campaign issue by the
Democrats. They commended that it was
under his guidance four years ago that
John l.. Duvall was elected mayor OF
indianapolis and in 1924 that Ed jack
son was elected Governor of Indiana.
Duvall later was convicted OF violat-
ing the corrupt practices act and now

IRE|NS IN KENTUCKY
G. O. P. Advances in Two
Counties Offset by Great
Gains in State.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LOUISVILLE, KY, November g.
Democratic majorities in both branche
of the Kentucky general assembly con
vening in January were indicated toda!
on the basis of returns from yesterday!
election.
Republicans sought to gain contro
of the State Legislature to strengthen
the administration of Gov. Elem D
Sampson, two years of whose four-yeal
term remain. The governor and all APP
pointive State officers are Republican
All elective officers except the governor
are Democratic.
Unofficial returns point to the usua,
Democratic majority of approximately
two-thirds of the Lower House, ano
control of the Senate.
The Republicans, however, made a
clean sweep of Louisville and Jefferson
County. William B. Harrison, Repuo-
lican, was elected mayor by an IN
precedented ma ority of 10000. In the
legislative races, the Republican, gained
four seats by electing all eight candl-
dates in Jefferson County. The one
State Senate election in the county also
went to the Republicans.
Democrats Offset Gains.
The Republican gain in Louisville and
Jefferson Counties was offset by Demo-
cratic gains in the legislative races
throughout the State. Several districts
that sent Republican representatives 70
the 1928 session gave maJorltles 10
Democratic candidates.
TWENTY-FIVE persons were arrested
4Io charged
interfering with voting. At Shepherds
Vile, Charles E. Ricketts,, 38, railroad
employe, fell dead of apoplexy as he
entered a booth to cast his vote, and
at Louisa, an organized search started
for Hardy Hays, so, farmer, missing
since october %, when he started out
to electioneer for friend.
Amendment Count Is Slow.
Returns on the two Constitutional
amendments offered were slow. Reports
indicated that the vote was about even
on the amendment proposing to remove
the constitutional limit OF $4,000 annual
salary for judges of the Court OF
Appeals. Early returns showed the
negative vote to hold slight lead on
the amendment proposing to remove
the limitation restricting to two the
number of amendments that may be
voted on at one time.
Among the candidates elected to the
Legislature are several who have an
nounced their opposition to the policies
of Gov Sampson, particularly In con-
nection with his proposal for luxury
tax to obtain funds for free textbooks
for public grade school pupils: the
free textbook act, the principal plank
in Gov. SIMPSONS campaign in 1927,
was held by the Court of Appeals to be
Constitutional, but imperative until
funds had been provided.
