DEMOCRATIC

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Nov. 4.

an early hour, West Virginia,
which went Democratic in 1882,
swung out today for the New Deal
on all fronts.
President Roosevelt was leading
with a majority of 10000 after

2,347 precincts had reported. The
vote in 481 precincts was 92,508
for Roosevelt to 61,206 for Ian
don.
In the gubernatorial race, the
Democratic candidate, Homer A.
Holt, received 96,089 in 489 pre-
cincts, while his Republican OPP
ponent, Summers H. Sharp, was
trailing with 65,558.
With all but five of the SIS coun-
ties reported, Democrats predicted
that the Democratic majority in
the State would go far beyond
100000.
Senator M. M. Nicely, Demo-
crat. was reelected, and all of the
Democratic candidates for the
House were leading in the early
returns.
Democratic incumbents on the
board of public works were leading

The outstanding precincts are in

ceived 1925 votes to 761 for Don
aid Burke, Communist, and 10
votes for George Rohlsen, Social

pected to exceed $4,000, with pros

would be a substantial increase
