While Turner Wins Gov
ernorship.
ey the Aksociatad Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DIES MONIES, November 5.-Iowa
remained true TO its Republican tradi-
tons in Tuesdays election, choosing q
Senator, Governor and all its State
Offices from that party'S ticket
The only reflections apparently were
in the second district congressional race,
where a Democrat led with returns
nearly complete and ia the State Legis-
lature, where the Democrats made
strong gains.
Representative L. j. Dickinson, with
six terms of service In the House be-
hind him, was advanced to the Senate,
defeating Daniel F. Steck, Iowa's flrst
Democrat, in the Upper Branch Of Con-
gress IN 10 years.
Dan w Turner of Corning, advocate
of State income tax, was swept into
the Governorship by two to one ma
jority over Fred p. Hagemann OF
Waverly, Democrat. He carried with
him all other Republican State candi-
dates
With only few precincts missing in
the second congressional district, Ben
NJ. Jacobsen of Clinton, Democrat led
Representative F. d. Let's, Republican.
Jacobsen campaigned for the repeal of
the eighteenth amendment, while Let's
remained silent on the prohibition
question.
Other Republican Representatives APP
parently were returned, including the
veteran G. N. Haugen, and Republican
was chosen to succeed Dickinson.
Representative Lloyd Thurston, In the
, eighth district. and Representative
Cyrenus Cole IN the fifth were en-
dangered during early returns by James
Pearson and H. M. Cooper, respectively
Dickinson gradually swung away from
Steck as the votes were counted during
the night until he had piled up 1855

the States 2,434 precincts. Arthur A.
Wells. Farmer Labor nominee, and L. e.

Turner'S support came from all parts
of the State. He led the Republican

HO|DALE DEFEATS
SENATOR SCHALL
Farmer-Laborite Candidate,
Floyd B. olson, Elected
Governor.

ST. PAUL, November 5 (P).--For the
flrst time In its history Minnesota today
had Farmer-Laborite Governor
Floyd B. Olson, and probably had
elected Democratic Senator.
Einar Hoidale, Norwegian Demo-
cratic candidate for Senator, had a lead
of $4,000 over Thomas d. Schall, blind
Republican incumbent, with nearly half
of the vote tabulated.
Election of Olson was conceded early
today by his Republican opponent, Ray.
p, Chase, who congratulated him and
said: Returns indicate Mr.. Olson has
won the contest for the governShip."
Hoidale and Olson profited separately
from what appears to have been an UNI
precedented DETECTION from Republican
ranks, the leads of each being similar
through many stages of the tabulation.
Election of Olson would be the first sue
cess of his party in its efforts for a
decade to gain the Office.
First Democratic Success.
Success for Hoidale would be the first
for Democrat by election since Minne-
sofa began statehood. For a brief
period, from December, 1900, to late in
January, 1901, a Democrat held the
senatorship by appointment. and the
States first Legislature chose two in
1858, but aside from these three Demo-
cratic senatorial candidates regularly
have gone down to defeat.
For Governor, 1,001 precincts out of
3,705 gave Olson 1874. 1856; Chase, 90,952,
and Edward IndrehuS, Democrat, who
made no campaign, about 5000.
Republicans Back HoidaIe.
Many Republicans and a majority of
daily and weekly newspapers adhering
to that party supported Hoidale. Schall
was attacked for opposing the World
Court, for voting for increases in naval
appropriations and for having Joined
with forces during the last Congress
which opposed the program of the ma
tional administration.
Hoidale, while an ardent supporter of
Gov. Smith in the 1928 presidential
campaign, centered his campaign on an
attack of Schall's record, and in a direct
invitation for Republican support
pledged that he would refuse to join in
any program ito embarraSs President
Hoover" but promised instead to sup
port the President in ANY constructive
program benefiting Minnesota" He
emphasized the proposal for a 9-foot
channel for the upper Mississippi
throughout his campaign.
Present congressional representatives,
nine Republicans and one Farmer
Laborite, led In indecisive returns, while
Republicans led for minor State offices,
with possibility that one of the closest
contests win be for Lieutenant Governor,
with John Hougen, Republican, and
Henry Arens, Farmer Labor, running
evenly.

Additional Pennsylvania Tab

Lead by Davis.

PHILADELPHIA, November 5.-Gif-

Governor Of Pennsylvania, today was
conceded the election by John M. Hemp
hill, his Democrat and Liberal party
opponent, as further returns from up

PinchotsS plurality was 49 ,464, all but
16 of these missing districts were up
State, where the Republican candidate
had rolled up vote which overcame
the 224,00 plurality accorded Hemphill
in Philadelphia.
Additional tabulations of the vote for
United States Senator served only to
make more crushing the defeat of Sedg-
wick Kistler of Lock Haven, Democrat,
and Republican nominee. The vote
from 6,0S9 out of 1921 districts in the
State gave Davis lead of 675,700.
With most Of returns in Pinchot de-
clared himself the winner. He said 1t
was q victory of the plain people
against the special interests" and q
triumph of the decent, dry, law-abiding
people over the gangsters of Philadel-
phia."
Declines to Concede.
HemphilI declined to concede defeat,
saying 1.-THE figures show it is still any
body's race"
II haven't characterized my cam
paigd by any silly bonbastic statements
and I don't intend to start now" he
said.
James ]. Davis, Secretary Of Labor,
won sweeping victory in his contest
with Sedgwick Kistler, Democrat, for
the United States Senate.
In $3.50 districts in the State, includ-
ing nearly all of Philadelphia, Secre-
tary Davis had lead over Kistler of
589, $50. The totals were: Davis, GAS, 1877;
Kistler, 355,777.
Other Republican candidates for
Statewide Office likewise were elected
by large pluralities.
They are: Lieutenant governor, Ed
ward G. Shannon, Columbia; secretary
of internal affairs, Philip H. Dewey,
Gaines; Judge Of the Supreme Court,
George w. Maxey, Scranton, and judges
Of the Superior Court, William B. Linn,

the detection in this campaign made a
race Of it. Continuing the battle against
Pinchot's ambition to again be Governor
of Pennsylvania begun In the primary
campaign, the Philadelphia organiza-
ton turned In almost solidly for Hemp
hill.
Hemphill ran far ahead of the Demo-
cratic party ticket, largely because of
the support accorded him by the Liberal
party, of which he was the sole
nominee. This party was composed
largely Of Republicans who sought to
nominate wet candidates at the May
primary In which attempt they poIled
more than 100000 votes.
The Democratic and Liberal candi--
dates on the face Of complete and in
