NeIU York Governor Con-
tinueS To Pile Up Huge
Majority For Record In
4 National Election.
Republican ReUerSeS In
cLude Majority Of State
Tickets As Well As The
u. S. Ticket.

The revolution at the pools which
elevated Franklin D. Roosevelt to
the Presidency and cut down Re-
publican Office holders was empha-
sized by late election tabulations.
The figures told the story of an
electorate so determined upon a
change that it braYed almost every
variety of weather to register the
greatest popular vote ever outpour-
ing drawn by the intensity of the
1928 campaign.
President Hoover saw every state
west of the Alleghenies turn against
him. Only Pennsylvania, Connecti-
cut, Delaware, New Hampshire, YER
mont and Maine kept the Republi-
can faith.
Behind Roosevelt is the almost
unanimous support of the state, ex-
emplified by powerful majOrities in
Senate and House as we'll as by his
victory; and massed in a manner
excelling lecent historical prece-
dents. His astounding electoral
total entrenched itself at 472 votes
with the counting of Kentucky re-
LuIuS lOI lllG III 0L NlllC W NhhCoHeJ ,
or 206 above a majority and 2S over
the 444 Hoover record in 1928.
With y5,531 of the 1874 voting
districts throughout the nation re-
porting total of 32,385,973 votes
the Democratic President-elect had
so far a popular vote plurality over
President Hoover of 5,958,669. On
this incomplete summary Roose-
velt's total was 17,872,32 to his op-
ponent's 13,513,652.
The President-elect's Congress
sional support may be reflected by
figures so fantastic as House in
the vicinity of three to one and a
Senate almost two to one.
Michigan went Democratic. So did
Iowa, birthplace of Herbert Hoover;
California, where he lives; Kansas,
home of VicePresident Curtis and
among others, Ohio, Indiana, Illi-
nois and Minnesota.
That was only part of a country
wide political upheaval. The result
was substantially the same whether
one looked at the Senate, the House,
gubernatorial races or even returns
affecting prohibition.
Political old timers blinked as
they tried to envision a Senate with
out such captains of the Republican
Old Guard as "Jim' Watson of In
diana. Reed Smoot of Utah. George
Moses of New Hampshire and Hiram
Bingham of Connecticut. All beaten
by Democrats. Add to them another
veteran, Senator Wesley Jones of
Washington. The eloquence of Sem
ator BOrah in Idaho also failed to
save his Republican colleague, Sem
ator John Thomas.

the inspectors for the four wards in
Milford are: First Ward-Frank

dirty chimneys, fire traps in cellars,
dangerous places for burning of

SOME DEMOCRATIC
MAJORITIES RANGE
TO 1854 In KENT
Gratifed Over Vote In County;
HirSch Defeat Surprise

The results of Tuesdays election
in Kent county from a Democratic
standpoint, were gratifying. While
conservative estimates were placed
by party leaders and the chairman
of the county committee of MAORI
ties on the State ticket as possibly
reaching 1900. it was with some
surprise to many when the major
tiles ranged from 2,100 to 1854 were
shown on the face of the returns.
Republicans themselves were great
ly surprised at the majorities re-
turned for the State candidates.
The majorities on the county tick
ct were not far behind those of the
State candidates, they ranging from
2,1OO to 2,400.
While it had been supposed that
eight of the ten Representative
would be elected, the defeat of
Charles r. Hirsch. of Milford, by
George Almond Wilson by a major
ity of 64 was somewhat of a surprise
as the Tenth District for the past
twelve years has sent a Democrat
to the Legislature.
There had never been any doubt
as to the election of both of the
State Senators from Kent county,
Neugebaur and Frasher, the for
mer's majority being 463 while that
of Frasher was 689. Norman OUtten,

He Says, After Leaving
White House March 4.

Herbert Hoover, private citizen
and business man, was the ticket
President Hoover wrote for himself
Wednesday as of next March 4.
AS the final struggling returns
from Tuesdays pools poured in,
showing even more clearly the over
whelming victory of Franklin D.
Roosevelt, the Chief Executive told
newspaper correspondents quietly,
but with d smile. that after the in
auguration of his opponent, he
would definitely leave public office
and return to private life.
A half an hour after he arose on
Wednesday morning, following what
he termed his best nights sleep in
years." Mr.. Hoover received newspa-
permen in the spacious living room
of his home.
Standing in front of a huge stone
fireplace IN the dimly lighted room
still decorated with some of the
flowers of Tuesday he talked infor-
mally of his plans.
The Chief Executive reported the
receipt Of "a pleasant acknowledge

that "in the common purpose of us
all, I shall dedicate myself to every
possible helpful effort"

Notwithstanding the national wide
Democratic landslide on Tuesday
Delaware remained in the Republi-
can column, being one Of the six
states in the nation to elect Hoover
electors. The majority in the State
was approximately 5000. At the
same time the Republicans elected
the entire State Ticket, but lost the
Congressman when Wilbur Adams,
Democrat, defeated Reuben Satter-
thwaite, Jr., by a small plurality.
The independence ticket on which
Rev, Francis Burgette Short ran for
Congress polled over 10000 votes in
the State. This accounted for Sat
terthwaite's defeat, for much of
Shorts strength was pulled away
from the Republican candidate.
Governor Buck was returned the
winner over Landreth Layton, Of
Georgetown, by an overwhelming
majority of over 10000 votes in the
State, Notwithstanding the fact that
Layton ran far ahead of Buck in
both Kent and Sussex counties. The
City of Wilmington gave Buck ma
jority of 1888 which was added to
by Rural New Castle county. George
Williams had a substantial majority
for State Treasurer over William L.
Morris.
James Henry Hazel, Republican,
also was returned a winner over
Thomas Marvel Gooden, Democrat,
of Dover The closest fight on the
State ticket was that between Dan
iel J. Layton, Republican, and John
Biggs, Jr., Democrat, for Attorney
General. The Statewide majority
for Layton was about 1895. William
Dickson, Democrat, went down be-
fore Dr. Roy f. COrley, Republican,
for Lieutenant Governor.

HOOVER WON STATE

Featured by a handsome majority
of 10,S62 given to Governor c. Doug
lass Buck, Delaware remained in the
Republican column Tuesday, for
both the National and State ticket.
President Hoover carried the State
for President, and with the excep-
tion of Congress, where the Demo-
Gratis elected Wilbur L. Adams, of
Wilmington, over Reuben SatIer-
thwaite, Jr., Republican. the Repub-
licsns elected all their candidates
on the Statewide ticket.
A total of 57,119 votes was polled
for the Hoover Presidential electors
in the State, compared with 5S,693
sarnered by the Democrats, giving
/ Hoover a majority of 1856.

While the Hoover electors have

prise of rhe balloting. 1t attests the
Statewide popularity of the Cover
nor, who ran away ahead of the
remainder of the State ticket in all
three counties despite the attempts
of some disgruntled Republicans to
knife him.
Wilbur l.. Adams, Democrat, for
Congress, has 1922 majority in the
State, due to Kent and Sussex coun-
ties rolling up big Democratic ma
jorities. The Rev. DR.. F. Burgette
Short. Independence party candidate
for Congress, drew more votes from
Satterthwaite than he did from Adj
ans, evidently. DR.. Short polled Ov-

The next Legislature will be divid-
ed politically, the Republicans hav-
ing gained control of the Senate by
one majority, and the Democrats
having captured the House by about
thirteen majority. The Democrats
elected Edward l. Glenn to the SEN
