DEMOCRATS WIN EVERYWHERE IN THE TERRITORY
Party May Elect Every Legislator-New Deals
 Sweeps Territory PARTIAL RETURNS OF TUESDAY SHOW TREND Democratic Sentiment Ap- parently Strong in Ev-
 cry Part of Alaska

Alaska, which started Franklin D. Roosevelt off on his quest of the Presidency, yesterday joined the state of Main in giving an al- most blanket endorsement to the President and the New Deal Alas kan voters apparently have elected IA Democratic members of the House of Representative out of a total of Is and three out of four Senatorial seats at stake seem cer- tain to be filled by Democrats. - Delegate Dimond, who was un- opposed for reelection, was given one of the largest complimentary votes in the Territory's history. The race between Oscar G. Olson, Democrat. and w. C.. Smith, In- dependent. incumbent, for the Treasurership, was still in doubt.
 Trend Is Definite
 While the vote is still largely in- complete rom aii parts o2 the Territory, every larger community, except Nome, had been heard from, and enough of the smaller, outlying precincts to definitely indicate the trend. The Democratic sweep was pronounced.
 In the First Division, 31 out of 53 precincts were reported this aft- ernoon. These returns put A. H. ziegler, A. P Walker, Joe Barono- vich and Joe Green, Democrats, well into the lead over the four Republican and two Independent candidates for the House, and their election seemed practically assured.
 H. G. Mccain, Ketchikan Repub- lican, who is in fifth place, was 344 votes behind Green. the low man on the Democratic ticket, and was believed by local Republicans to be definitely out of the race. H. R. Shepard, sixth man, was 401 votes behind Green.
 The standing in the House race was: Ziegler, 1854, Walker, 1920, Baronovich 1893. Green 1,686, Mo- Cain 1,342 and Shepard I,285. This includes votes from all of the larg- CT centers and several Indian pre- cincts.
 ROden Leads Shattuck
 Henry Roden, Independent, was leading Senator Allen Shattuck, Democrat, for the Senate by 56 votac Tho o,,tcox,,a 1f +l;~ ~~ was regarded as problematical and it may take the final, official count to determine the victor.
 In the Second Division, and re- ports from there are meager, lack ing the Nome City returns, which constitute most of the votes there, J. F. Devine. Democrat, was leading Senator Alfred Lomen, Republican. for the Senate by 15 votes in re- ports from five outlying precincts. He had 65 and Lomen 50 votes. This is, of course, too small a proportion of the vote to indicate definitely the final result, but local Democrats believe it does show that the trend in the Second Di- vision is just the same as in this section.
 Three of the four leading candi- dates for the House are Democrats Arthur M Chamberlin, w. Mar tin. Howard Lyng-and J. c. Ken nedy, Republican, is the fourth. Leroy Sullivan. former Juneau man, Republican, was fifth, A. G. Blake. Republican, sixth. Tolbert Scott. Democrat, seventh, and Nels Swan berg, Republican, last.
 Powers Leads Hurley
 John B. Powers, veteran Eagle Democrat, although beaten in Fair banks, had overcome that disad- vantage in the outlying precincts in the Fourth Division and was leading Julian Hurley, Republican and former United States Attorney there, by the narrow margin of eight votes. However, he was carry ing all of the smaller precincts and it was believed his lead would con- tinue to grow on later reports.
 Andrew Nerland. veteran of the Legislature from Fairbanks. was the only Republican candidate for
