DEMOCRATS SLATE
IN ILLINOIS WINS
New Deal Sweeps State-Held
Quietest Election in
Years.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, November 7.-Illinois
today shouted the Democratic theme
song, Forward With Roosevelt" An
estimated 100000 voters yesterday
marched to ballot boxes and elected
the Democratic State slate.
Cook County (Chicago), with gusto,
showed Democrats into Office despite
Republican campaign charges that
the local organization, headed by
Mayor Edward j. Kelly and National
Committeeman Pat Nash, was neither
o-Roosevelt nor had the backing
of the national administration. Lo-
cal candidates in the main received
3 to l majorities over Republican
opponents.
Little violence attended Chicago's
election. Several sluggings and two
kidnapings were reported, but Judge
Edmund K. Jarecki, supervisor of the
election machinery, said:
This has been the quietest election
Chicago ever had. although it was
one of the largest
The outcome of referenda, for a
S30,000,000 relief bond issue and the
calling of constitutional convention,
were undecided early today. Ap-
parently, however, the bond issue had
a good chance of approval.
Commented jubilant Nash:
"The people have expressed their
unqualified approval of President
Roosevelt's humane policies. A large
number of patriotic and unselfish Re-
publicans joined in the approval. To
them. particularly, express my graf
itude."

OLSON LEAD CUT
BY RURAL VOTES
Three Largest Twin Cities

Nelson's Defeat.

ST. PAUL, November 7.-Slow gains
that whitfield down Gov. Floyd B.
Olson's lead were chalked up by Mar
tin A. Nelson, Republican, today as
almost a fourth of the States 3,700
precincts were heard from.
The rural vote, where the Nations
only Farmer-Labor Governor had won
big majorities two years ago, was lean
ing toward Nelson on the basis of
scattered returns. in the face Of which
the three largest Twin City newspa-
pers, supporters Of Nelson. had con-
ceded the election to Olson.
Returns from 1,004 precincts gave:
Olson, l49,15l; Nelson, l23,807, and
John E. Regan, Democrat, 45,488.
The Governor, on platform charg-
ing failure of capitalism and advocat-
ing a sweeping program of public
ownership, apparently would win the
Twin Cities by at least 10000 or IS 900
votes
The final outcome, indications were,
hinged on how the farm vote went
with small towns going for Nelson.
The Governors strongholds. however,
the iron ranges and the Western
drought area, were yet to report First
returns from these areas showed pre-
ponderance of Olson sentiment.
Olson's- running mate, Hjalamar
Peterson, was out in front for lieu

DEMOCRATSSWEEP.
NEW YORK STATE.
Capture Complete Control
by E|eCting Lehman and
Ticket.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November swept
onward before the momentum OF a
rebuilt Tammany machine in New
York City, the Democratic party car
ried the New York State "off year"
elections by tremendous proportions
yesterday and captured completely
the State government.
The Democratic ticket, headed by
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman, ran up
pluralities of 100000 and more. won
control of both branches of the nor
mally Republican State Legislature
and rendered an overwhelming in
dorsement of the New Deal doctrines
of President Roosevelt.
Comeback Victorious.
The collapse of the Republican
party in New York City was in sharp
contrast to Tammany Hall. bolster
ously hitting the comeback trail from
its disastrous defeat of last Novem-
ber at the hands of the Fusion party
in the municipal election.
The striking pluralities of Demo-
cratic candidates was due almost en-
tirely to the New York City vote.
Only for Gov. Lehman did upstate
New York desert its traditional Re-
publicanism to hand over substan-
tial majority of the vote.
In New York City, Tammany took
revenge for it's beating of last year
by electing Frank j. Taylor city con-
trolle: over Joseph D. McGoldrick,
Fusion incumbent, by the margin Of
1885 votes
Strains Fusionists.
Taylors election constituted a Sc
we're strain upon Mayor La Guardia's S
city administration, and with Tam
many now controlling five-and pos
sibly seven-of the 16 votes of the
important Board of Estimate, the Fu-
sion working majority faced an un-
certain future.
Gov. Lehman's defeat of Robert
Moses, the Republican candidate. was
swift and staggering. The majority
for the Presidents close friend and
his successor at Albany approached
the 100000 mark as final returns
filtered in.
The Governors final plurality will
far exceed that of 100000 given Mr.
Roosevelt in the 1880 gubernatorial
elections, and will closely approxi-
mate the Governors lead of 847 ,439
when he was elected first two years
ago.

PHIL La TOILETTE
NAMED GOVERNOR
With Less Than 200 Pre-.

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MILWAUKEE, November THE
infant Progressive party appeared to-
day to have been victorious in all
major contests of the Wisconsin gen.
eral election, with the two La Fol-
lettes in full comamnd by virtue of
their individual triumphs.
Senator Robert M. La Toilette was
reelected; his younger brother Phil,
on the basis of nearly complete re-
turns, won the Governors Office, a
position he reached four years ago,
only to be retired after a single term.
The Senator defeated John B. Chap
pie, Republican, and John M. Gala
han, Democrat.
The Senator vote in 2,7l9 precincts
of 2,9l7: La Toilette, 359,993; Gala
han, 203 ,679; Chapple, 1913 967.
Phil nosed ahead of the Democratic
Governor, A. G. Schmedeman, and ran
far ahead of Howard T. Greene, Re-
publican.
The vote in 2,786 precincts of 2,9l7:
La Follette, 35l ,6o2; Schmedeman,
335,470; Greene, 1924.
Six months ago the brothers dared
to split from the Republican ranks
and declared for new political
alignment. They organized their own
party. inspired with the La Toilette
touch, and swept the boards.
The brothers broke precedents in
their sweep. Their father, the late
Fighting Bob" La Toilette. won his
victories as Republican. A La Fol-
lette has represented Wisconsin in one
capacity or another since 1900, but
never did two run together for the
States most important posts.
Senator R. NJ. La Toilette left Madi-
son early today for Washington. where
he will meet President Roosevelt.

BOSTON, November T. James
Michael Curley, who started life as a
humble grocery store clerk. has at
tanned a lifelong ambition-the gov
ernorship of Massachusetts.
Through three terms as mayor of
Boston, he kept his eye on the gov
ernorship. Ten years ago he sought
his goal only to be turned back by a
Republican. But yesterday there was
no stopping the original Roosevelt
man in Massachusetts-he swept the
State from Berkshires to the coast
and in the one-time grocery clerk
doing so swept into political retire

OF an ancient and distinguished
family.
In 1879 precincts out of LIS, the
figures were: Bacon. 6l7,242; Curley,
720.S94; Goodwin independently :,
92,653.
Flair for Politics.
Jim Curley, as he is known to his
1ntimateS, is man of many faces.
Even his political enemies have con-
ceded his fair for practical politics
while questioning, at times, his record
in office.
He went only to grammar school,
yet few men are so well read. He
has resonant voice and command
Ing platform manner.
His campaign speeches are literally
1nterspersed with quotations from the
classics. and he has delighted on more
than one occasion to confound his
opponents with apt quotations from
Shakespeare.
Curley first came into the national
1imelight when in the early days Of
the boom for Franklin D. Roosevelt
for the Democratic presidential elec-
ton, he defied the preponderant
Alfred E. Smith sentiment in MasSa-
chusetts to espouse the Roosevelt
cause.
Denied the right to go to the Chicago
convention as delegate, he succeeded
by stratagem in being seated as an
alternate for delegate from Puerto
Rico.
Declined Poland Post.
He stumped the State and many
parts of the country for Roosevelt, but
shortly after the President was in
augurated, he surprised political wise
acres by declining presidential ap-
pointment as Ambassador to Poland.
He explained he wanted to finish
his term as mayor. He stayed on the
job despite the taunts of the envious
that he was building his fences for
the forthcoming gubernatorial fight.
Curley will succeed Joseph B. Ely.

power he Haunted by overturning
Ely's choice of Gen. Charles H. Cole
to be his successor. Ely and United
States Senator David l. Walsh sue

the party convention. but Curley en-
tered the primary as an independent
