NEW YORK, Nov. 8. = Gov
Franklin D. Roosevelt has been
elected president.
In a Democratic landslide, he
won the highest office in the land
with what appears to be the
greatest electoral majority in his
tory.
The Democratic victory also
swept the party into control of
both houses of congress. with vets

A depression weary people buried
President Hoover beneath an avail

Mr.. Hoover was sure of only six
states early today, with total of
SO electoral votes. Mr.. Roosevelt
appeared to have the other AZ
states with a total of 461 electoral
votes. Four years ago, Mr.. Hoover
received 444 votes while Ex-Gov-
ernor Smith received 81 in eight
states.
Governor Roosevelt appeared to
have won a clear popular major
ity, the first any Democratic pres
ident has received since the days
Of Franklin Pierce in 1856. CleVe-
land and Wilson won by plurali-
ties.
The latest United Press popular
vote tabulation showed:
Roosevelt, 13,275,875.
Hoover, 9,616,009.
Thomas, 305,606.
Total 1887, 400.
The final total may reach 40
100000 and Thomas proportion
may increase as his votes were mol
counted in all instances in the
rush of election night.

Leaders Cheered
Jubilant cheers rang throup'
Democratic headquarters at the
Blltmore early today and the met
ropolis and some cities celebrated
noisily. Governor Roosevelt was
at the hotel receiving returns. Al
fred E. Smith, his recent rival fol
the presidential nomination, came
IN to congratulate the new presi-
dent elect. Washington sent a Sec
ret service guard to undertake the
protection of the, prospective pres
ident as required by law.
To the very end President Hoov-
er chung to the slender thread OF
hope that some miracle would
bring him through.
He had given every ounce of his
strength toward battling with the
depression. He believed that his
industry would be rewarded in the
end. At last, he admitted fate
was against him and promised to
give every possible helpful effort
The deadly blow at President
Hoover was struck when he fell be-
hind in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio
this pivotal block added to Roose-
velt's huge nest egg of southern
and border states, placed Mr.
Hoover under a handicap which
was beyond reach even of a mir
acle.
President Hoover's home state
California, was running strongly
against him.
Crushing of the Hoover hopes
began early in the returns when
New York state was torn from his
grasp. BY the time the count was
lnearly completed, Roosevelt had a
vote in New York state of 1881, 18C
against Hoover's 1,739,391.
In the hotly contested states OF
Massachusetts and Rhode Island

and Dixon line carried by Smith

Shuler Runs Third In Senator

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 8. U.H
California, normally Republic
can and in sections conservative
state, went Democratic and Pro-
gressive with vengeance today
helping to elect a Democratic pres
ident, sending Democrat to the
senate, and repeating the state dry
law
Even the most optimistic Demo-
cratic leaders we're amazed at the
huge majority vote polled by
Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was
elected to succeed President Hoov-
er, an adopted son of California.
The state had been listed as
doubtful. and since there were
half a million more Republicans
than Democrats registered, there
was a general feeling that Califor-
mia would stand behind her own
son, President Hoover.
That opinion was changed as
soon as returns began to be report
ed. Roosevelt stepped into the
lead, and his majority was in
creased today with all but small,
scatterer precincts reported.
CalifornianS generally believed
the swing to Roosevelt and Demo-
cracy resulted from a feeling of
dissatisfaction over the "order of
things" that it was not evidence
OF outright rebellion against the
President.
William Gibbs McAdoo former
secretary of the treasury, rode on
the crest of the Democratic wave
to submerge Tallant Tubbs, young
San Francisco rope manufacturer,
under a tide of votes. Many Re-
publicans who deserted Tubbs did
so, it was felt, because of his in
tensive fight against prohibition.
McAdoo was regarded as a "re-
submisSionist."

9.-President Hoover in defeat,
stood ready today to dedicate him
self ito every possible helpful ef-
fort" to make the administration
of his victorious Democratic OPP
ponent, President-elect Franklin D.
Roosevelt, a success.
In conceding the election to the
New York governor, Mr.. Hoover
sent him the following telegram: II
congratulate you on the opportun-
ity that has come to you to be of
service to the country and I wish
for you a most successful admins
tration.
"In the common purpose of all of
us I shall dedicate myself to
every possible helpful effort.
"(Signed Herbert Hoover"
The chief executive remained in
the seclusion of his home on the
picturesque campus of Leland STAN
ford university, debating on his
future plans
He had announced he hoped to
take a weeks rest. However, it was
believed he was debating whether
to take a brief vacation in Cali
fornia or return at once to Wash
ington and prepare to turf over
the presidency to Mr.. Roosevelt.
AT the Hoover home, it was said
it was still not impossible that
the President woEld prefer to re-
turn to Washington by water, by
way of the Panama canal. His
next step depended on whether a
crisis developed demanding his
return to his desk at the capitol.
The action came only after the
returns tabulated on two large
blackboards in the reception room
of the Hoover residence showed be-
yond all doubt the result.

SUICIDE At TER
SHOOTING SON

ALTADENA, Calf, Nov. 9. W.P)
The body of John McNutt, IA,
was found today by sheriff's dep
uties few hours after he had
shot down his son, Harley, after
a quarrel over money matters.
Officers had sought the elder
McNutt since last night when he
returned to his sons home where
ne was living, raped at the front
door and then shot his son when
the latter appeared in the door
way. Physicians performed blood
TRANSMISSION in Pasadena hospital
today in an endeavor to save
young McNutt's life.
According to the story related by
the son as he was being taken to
the hospital, he and his, father had
a quarrel when the latter resented
curtailment in his spending
money, necessitated, the son said,
by his own recent unemployment.
His father, the younger man, said
left the house and later returned,
knocking at the front door.
"It'S my turn now" the elder
man shouted, firing two shots, one
of which narrowly missed his
daughter-in-law, Flora, and the
other striking Harley in the abdo-
men. The assailant then fled.
Officers six hours later found
McNutt's body a short distance
from the sons home. Three empty
cartridges were in the revolver
which the victim clutched in his
hand and bottle, believed to have
contained poison, was lying beside
the body,

MAJOR WTAM|N
! DISCOVERIES MADE
Research Hailed as Bringing
i Industrial Production
Much Neorer.

tCopyright. 1882, by the Associated Press)
CAMBRIDGE, England, May 13.-In-
dustrial production of the four famous
vitamins, A, B, c and D, was believed
TO have been brought much nearer to-
day by the announcement of series of
discoveries made by two young British
scientists, Drs. F. B. Bowden and C..
p. Snow Of Cambridge University.
The discoveries were described by Sir
Frederick Hopkins, president of the
Royal Society and worldfamous au-
thority on vitamins, as of major i'm
portance."
In making the announcement Drs.
Bowden and Snow said they had evi-
dence indicating they had produced
vitamin A from a substance called caro-
tene by treating it with ultraviolet
rays Of a certain wave length.
(Carotene is described as a reddish
substance found IN carrots, which gives
them their characteristic color)
They also have evidence, they said
that they have succeeded in identifying
that part of the molecule Of vitanin
3 which is responsible for its biological
effects.
They said they discovered q method
OF distinguishing between two rival the
cries regarding the nature of vitamin
C-whether this vitamin Is hexuronic
acid or whether 1t is produced from
narcotine by the action Of light.
Besides these findings, they said they
were able now TO suggest Improvements
which will increase the efficiency of the
present methods Of manufacturing vita
min D, which Is known commercially
as calciferol.
Their discoveries, they said, were
made through the development of pre-
else methods of spectroscopic analysis,
using rays of light of one precise color
which they obtained with powerful
apparatus involving the use of large
crystals Of natural quartz.
