CHICAGO. NOV. Illinois voters
approved the Democratic New Deal
yesterday with an avalanche Of bal

carried virtually the entire state
ticket to Office.
The Democratic victory was

The outpouring of voters. $500 600
Of them. was the greatest in an off,
year election in Illinois history.
Democratic candidates for repre-
sentative-at-large, about whom the
fiercest battle ragged, won hands
down over Republican opponents.
Democratic candidates for con-
gress displaced at least three of the

while possibly losing one district in
which a Democrat now sits. Re-
suits in three districts. including
the Tenth. home Of Interior Secre-
tary Harold Ickes, we're in doubt.
Tabulations early today assured the
Democrats of twenty-one seats TO
