was the swing toward the Democrats.
With only $50 precincts reported of
the 2,235 in the state, the combined
Roosevelt and Murray vote was
1902. In 1924 the total Democra-
tic vote was only about II 900 and in
1914 about 10000. On this basis it
appeared easily possible that the
Democratic total would run between
10000 and 10000.
Indications were chat the total vote
would be between 10000 and 10000
with possibility that 1t might ex-
coed the latter figure. A record turn
out for March election was beyond
question.
The surprising thing Of the election
was the sharp swing of North Dako-
ta's electorate toward Democracy.
Whatever the cause, the demand for
Democratic ballots was the heaviest
on record at North Dakota primary.
At Anamoose, for instance, where 10
Democrats voted four years ago, 100
cast ballots Tuesday.
In Bismarck. Fargo, Jamestown and
other centers the demand for Demo-
cratic ballots was practically double
that of 1928.
No tabulations were being made on
the contests for convention delegates
or presidential electors on either the
Republican or Democratic tickets and
it may be several days before infor-
nation Is available concerning them.

Democratic preference vote.
Returns compiled and copyrighted
by the Associated Press showed
Roosevelt leading by a margin of
nearly two to one. They represent

cincts but were sufficiently repres-
entative to indicate the trend.
The gasoline tax and the two pro-
posals to change the initiative and

stitution were definitely beaten and
of the five proposals on that ballot
only that to tighten up the absent
voters law appeared to have a chance
and it was running behind.

Tuesday was a gala night in Bis
marck.
Although never doubtful of the
outcome Of the capital removal issue
residents of this city felt load had
been lifted from their minds when
the returns showed tremendous
chorus of mo" rolling over the
state, and many of them celebrated.
Thousands gathered in the World
War Memorial Building to hear the
returns as reported by The Bismarck
Tribune and the Associated Press
and each report Of the mounting
Bismarck total was greeted with
cheers. The populace of the capital
city felt like letting off steam--and
it did,.
The Cosmopolitan club, which
Joined in staging the party and had
charge of the dancing. presented
numerous entertainment specialties
between announcements of the re-
turns and there was not dull mo-
ment from the time first reports
were received until the crowd, salts
fled and happy, began to drift away
home.
Auditorium Thronged
The number in attendance at the
party is believed to have set new
record both for Bismarck and the
World War Memorial Building.
Admission to the balconies was
free while the Cosmopolitans charged
admission to the dancing floor. Both
sections were crowded.
At both the Capitol and Paramount
theaters the pictures were interrupt
ed while the election returns were
announced to the audience. The an
rouncements were greeted with
cheers and demands were made for
more.
The high school band. under the
direction of Clarion E. Larson,
opened the entertainment at the Me-
mortal building about 9 o'clock. Dur
ing the program lasting an hour or
more, they played several marches
and other sprightly numbers and the
election returns were announced at
intervals by Spencer Boise, COM
nlander Of the American Legion post.
He also introduced the various per-
formers throughout the evening.
Pupils from the Will junior high
school appeared in several chorus
dances from their historical pag-
cant, 1.-THE Progress Of America"

LIBRARY BEGINS
F|NELESS WEEK

The Washington Public Library
is observing a "fineless week" be-
gining today.
The changed policy, says DR..
George F. Bowerman, librarian, is
two-fold. 1t will release cards to
hundreds of readers who have
special need of books at this time
but are unable to pay fines. 1t
will also help to restore to circu-
lation many volumes which are
being kept overtime.
Requesting readers to search
their bookcases, cupboards and
bureau drawers, DR.. Bowerman
said that readers may be re-
stored to good standing by simply
returning books.
A conscience box" has been in,
stalled at the front door of the
central library. Books may be
placed in this receptacle by per
sons who do not care to take
them to the desks.
