 ELECTION FIGHT
They Were Bringing Ne- grOes Across Line But
 Were Anlbushed

Steele, Mo, Nov 6.-(UP)-One man was x killed and another wounded seriously today in an election fight oven spurported bring | ing of negroes from Arkansas to Missouri, to vote, officers said. The dead man was Horace Fer- rell, 33, of Steele. 1 E His father, John E. Terrell, 65, was critically. wounded. He was unable to give officers details of the shooting.
 Officers said the shooting oc-. cured on an isolated road when the Terrell car, containing two negroes, cross the Arkansas Mis-. souri line.
 Police, without a clue. said they believed the gunmen shot Terrell and his father because they thought that they were importing the negroes to vote.
 The negroes told officers that when the Terrell automobile crossed the state line another auto- mobile drove out of a side road and followed. Several men opened fire.
 After the shooting the assailants' car sped away.
 Officers said that i'll feeling had existed in Pemiscott county for several years as result of charges and counter charges that negroes were frequently brought into this section from Arkansas to vote.

GOV RITCHIE TO
 HAVE BIG FIGHT

Baltimore, Nov Mary land voters went to the polls under clear skies to-day to determine whether Gov Albert c. Ritchie, dem., shall have a fifth term. Vic tory would give him 19 years at the head of his state, longer than any other executive in American history.
 The concensus was that Ritchie would hold only the slimmest of margins over Harry w. Nice, Bal timore, his republican opponent.
 Other democratic candidates generally were expected to win including George L. Radcliffe, per- soflal friend of President Roose- welt, running against former Sena- tor Joseph I. France, individuals tic republican. The hottest con- gressionaI fight was that of Rep David J. Lewis. d., chairman of the house labor committee, against former Rep Frederick N. Zilman, r..

 Sides Condemn Act

Philadelphia. Nov 6-(UP)-- Pennsylvania voted on the "new deaI' today under guard of fed- eral, state. county and municipal officers. Alarmed by the massacre at the little mining hamlet of Kel- the 1856 polls were closely watched. Justice department agents were stationed at many polling places, hundreds of deputy U. s. marshals were hastily sworn in, all state police were ordered on duty and local police departments held reserves in readiness. Law enforce ment officials feared additional fiare-ups as a result of the Kel- ayres tragedy in which three were killed and the bitterness of the political campaign.
 Fist fights were reported at wards in south and west Phila- delphia after balloting had been under way less than three hours. Throughout the state the voting was brisk. A straight new deal test is involved. In Philadelphia rain kept many away during the first hour but clearing skies brought out thousands to the ballot boxes. Pittsburg reported heavy voting in western Pennsylvania while Harrisburg reported the vot- ing as moderately heavy.
 Leaders of republican and dem ocratic parties termed the Kelayrcs slayings as ia terrible outrage" Governor Clifford Pinchot said a preliminary investigation indicated the killing of three persons and the wounding Of p others was due to racial troubles within the mixed population' of the small village. Attorney General William A. Schnader, republican nominee fol governor, announced he would or der a thorough investigation by the the state. Another fatality of the campaign occurred when William Rocks, 3S, negro, was shot and killed in front of a Philadelphia polling place. Joseph Davenport. A, negro, who was qua rreline with Rocks over politics, was held for the slaying.

ILLINOIS WILL
 HAVE BIG VOTE

Chicago, Nov 6.-OP)-Both major parties predicted record off-year vote of 2,400,000 to-day as Illinois ended at the polls a po- litical campaign in which national issues submerged local problems. The weather was clear and cold.
 Contests for 27 congressional seats, especially the two represen- tatives at large, dominated the election scene. Democrats pre- dicted they would hold their ma jority of 19 to 8. Republican lead CTS still hammering at "consti- tuition wrecking" issues, claimed they would gain from four to sev- en seats.
 Besides state treasurer and superintendent of public instruc- tion, the voters were asked to ap- proce a $30,O00,0O0 relief bond issue and a constitutional conven- ton.

John Hayes, 40, of 254 East Main street. died this morning at 4:25 o'clock at St Mary's hospital from injuries received october 2S in fall at the J. H. Manville Com pany Machine shop.

The fall paralyzed him completely from the waist down. and frantic efforts were made at St Mary's hospital to check the spread of paralysis. When surgical attempts resulted in failure the mans life was despaired of. His name was placed on the hospital danger, list shortly after he was admitted last month.

SENATOR REED IN
 FIGHT FOR LIFE

Philadelphia. Nov 6.-UP)-An out and out test of the popularity of the New DeaP was being de- cided to-day at the Pennsylvania polls. Voters were instructed by both parties that the issue was solely the Roosevelt administra- ton and the New Deal" Senator David A. Reed, republican stall wart conservative, was the anti New Deal candidate; Joseph F. Guffey, democratic senatorial can- didate, carried the New Deal ban ner. Because of the importance of the election, federal undercover agents have been stationed in each of the 67 counties to- prevent fraud.
 For the first time in more than 40' years democrats had at least an even chance to overthrow re- publican control of the Keystone State. Unbiased observers pre- dicted the final count would be close, with either likely to win.

MRS DALI WILL
 NOT CAST VOTE

New York, Nov 6-U.P.)-The outcome of Mrs Caroline O'Day's bid for election as representative at large from New York attracted wide attention to-day because of a campaign involving Mrs Franklin D. Roosevelt and a challenge of the right of Mrs Anna Roosevelt Dall to cast a ballot.

Nearly coco Votes Short
 of the Record Made Two Years Ago
DEMOCRATIC WEATHER
 DIDN'T CHANGE ASPECT
Chairman Crary Was Much Surprised at Lack of
 Voting This Morning

Waterbury's voting today promised, early this after noon, to break all records, not for heavy balloting but just the opposite. At l o'clock this afternoon, due to the intense rain storm, only 13,691 cleo tors had cast their ballots despite the fact that the vot- ing strength of the city is 38,243. This represents ap- proximately a little over one third of the voting strength of the city, a dropping off in balloting that Waterbury has never before seen. Not disinterest. but the condition of the weather, waa blamed by leaders of both major parties here for the laxity in visit- ing at the polls.
 19,O68 Vote 2 Years Ago
 Two years ago, in the state ana national election, 19,068 voters Of Waterbury had visited the polls at 1 o'clock. Therefore, today's bal- loting was almost 5000 behind tho figure of two years ago.

One of Most Important Elections Ever Held
 in United States
ROOSEVELT NEW DEAL
 CONFIDENT OF VICTORY.
Heavy Vote Anticipated in All States-LittIe ViO= :.
 lence Reported

Copyright, 1884, by United Press)
 Voters in AZ of the AS states today participated in one of the most important off year elections in the country's history.
 The vote served as the first nationwide poll of popular political sentiment since President Roosevelt took of flee and launched his spectac- ular recovery program and the results may have widespread effect on the future of the New Deal and of all political parties.
 Chief interest centered in the races for the senate and house of representatives. Thirty-one states elect 35 senators and the A elect 432 of the 435 representatives. Continued democratic majorities in both houses appeared likely with democratic leaders claiming six additional senate seats. This would indicate a continued popu- lar esupport of the New Deal

Ne1u Dealers Hopeful Of Increasing Senate
Leaders of Democratic Party Expect to Add at Least Six More Seats-SenatOr Reed of Pennsylvania
 Is Being Given the Fight of His Life
By H. O. THOMPSON

United Press Stan Correspondent New York Nov 6-(UP)-The new dealers seek in. today's cleo. tions to add a half-dozen votes to the preponderant democratic ma jority which beat down all repub- lican opposition in the senate dur ing the last session of congress.
 Last minute predictions by Chairman James A. Farley of the democratic national committee, would give his party a two-thirds' it's control there for at least an- other six years.
 The sparkle and dash of many previous campaigns were missing to a large extent this year. But the issues. always centering around the program of President Roose- welt, were joined in deadly earnest in several of the states where sen- ate seats were at stake.
 Reed Was the Target
 During the closing weeks of the campaign democratic efforts were centered in an effort to defeat Sen David A. Reed, the handsome euuSylNdHldH WIlO uiS TepIeSSlI- ed conservative republican policies in the senate since 1922.
 . His democratic opponent is Jos eph F. Guffey. Farley has directed a slashing campaign in his behalf. Republicans were confident, how ever, that Reed would survive the assault.
 There are senatorial elections in 31 states. In three of them-Cali- fornia, Florida and Mississippi- candidates were elected without oposition. The successful senators were, respectively, Hiram w. Johnson, Park Trammell and Theodore G. Bilbo.
 Maine, in it's September election, returned Frederick Hale to the senate for another Six-year term.
