state election returns as sustain
ing Democratic popular MAORI
ties in the state as a whole and
made light of Republican claims
that the result could be interpret
ed as a reputation of the New
Deal.
Mr.. Roosevelt refrained from
direct comment on the election, in
which Republicans regained con-
troll of the State Assembly, al
though failing to get a majority
of the total popular vote, but his
views were interpreted by close
friends who went over the results
with him.
The Philadelphia result Mr.
Roosevelt was understood to look
upon as technical" victory for
his party, inasmuch as the Demo-
cratic mayoralty candidate was
defeated by only $1,000 votes. In
1882 Mr.. Roosevelt lost Philadel-

ALBANY, +. Y, Nov. g.
New York Democrats piled up
nearly a 100000 majority
popular vote over Republican
opponents in yesterdays "otf
year" election, but lost con-
troll of the State Assembly,
virtually complete tabulations
showed this afternoon.
According to tabulations of re-
turns from all except l8 counties in
the state, Democratic Assembly can
didates were given an aggregate
vote of 1,934,873 as against l,316.985
for Republicans.
Despite the Democratic majority,
81 G. o. P. Assembly candidates
were elected, reducing the Demo-
cratic Assembly membership to SO.
Counties not tabulated comprised
mostly rural districts. where election
officials reported the final vote
would not be available for "a hours.
The incomplete counties normally
are Republican. but the final re-
suits are not expected to reduce
materially the Democratic ma jority.
Farley Claims Victory
Postmaster General James A.
Farley, state and national Demo-
cratic chairman, has contended the
big popular vote was an ''out-and-
out" Endorsement of President
Roosevelt and the New Deal.
The Federal Administration was
sustained by more than 100000 ma
jority, which ought to be sufficient
to answer the question of the con-
tinued popularity of Franklin d.
Roosevelt" Mr.. Farley said.
Republican leaders, however. ar
gued the Democratic Assembly de-
feat was complete Reputation"
of the New Deal and indicated Mr..
Rooseyelt's defeat in his home
state in the 1896 presidential cleo
tons.
Thus, the bitter fight over New
Deal sentiment was not expected to
be definitely answered until next
year.
Similar to 1892 Situation
The situation was similar to that
in 1882 when Mr. Roosevelt carried
the state by pularity of 100000,
but Republicans controlled the As

majority of the Democratic
votes were cast in greater New

PLAN ASSA|LED
BY TAX CHIEF
Zoercher, Board Chairman,
Flags State Units for
Illegal Practice.
WARNS OF EMERGENCY
Additional Appropriations
Must Be Warranted,
He Says al Hearing.

Practice of governmental units
mourning Indebtedness before an
appropriation is made was assailed
today by Philip zoercher, State Tax
Board chairman, as hearings were
renewed on the Indianapolis civil
city proposed $l.l4 levy.
Warning that unless an emer-
gency could be shown the tax board
would not be lenient in authorizing
additional appropriations, Mr. Zoer-
cher declared he believed contracts
entered into before an appropria-
ton Is made are illegal and void"
Holds Road Plan Illegal
For this reason, Mr.. Zoercher
said 1t was his belief, although the
county rate was not under conSid-
Grafton at the time, that the 1-cent
road levy sought by the county was
illegal because the funds would be
raised to pay debt already created
Mr.. zoercher's remarks followed
defense of the city's position on its
estimate Of tax collections. sinking
fund requirements and excise
revenues and opposition to these
estimates by Harry MiesSe, Indiana
Taxpayers Association secretary and
its counsel, Walter Horn.
Says Stats damned
Virgil Sheppard, Chamber of
Commerce governmental research
bureau director, upheld Mr.. Miesse
except on sinking fund requirements
on which he sided with Mr. Boet-
cher. Mr.. Boetcher said Scent
levy was necessary due to $4,000 900
of city and school bonds maturing
in 1889 and 1910, refunding of which,
in Mr.. Boetcher's opinion, would be
costly Mr.. Miesse argued that most
of them would have to be refunded
anyway, and a 24-cent-rate would
be adequate.

representative, charged that all gov
ernmental departments were over

The board has indicated decision
