president today.
 Vermont went republican even during the Bull Moose" bolt of 1912 which resulted a democratic victory in every other New England state. Vermont citizens voted for presi- dent and governor, but there was no senatorial contest. The state has three electoral votes.
 Gubernatorial contests were held in Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.
 Governor Wilbur L. Cross, 74-year- old democrat and former Yale pro- lessor, was seeking reelection against Arthur M. Brown, republican, in Connecticut.
 Tn Rhode Island, the contest for governor was between Robert E.. Quinn (democraU and Charles P. Sisson (republican).
 Three contestants were in the field for governor of New Hamp- shire. They were House Speaker Amos N. Blandin (democraU, Fran cis P. Murphy (republican)) and Arthur l.. Bergeron farmer -labor). |.
 Alfred Heininger, a Roosevelt sup porter and self-described father of the old-age pension in Vermont" :" and George D. Aiken, known as a regular old-line republican, battled for the governorship in Vermont.
 Massachusetts also voted for IS congressman. Of more than local interest was the battle between owen Johnson (democrat), the novelist and friend of President Roosevelt, and Representative Allen T. Treadway Republican,, dean of the Massachusetts congressional delegation, in the first district.

 the history of Waterbury The banners reading "vote for so-and so'' did not appear to be as big and flashing as In past years, however.
 There was a pencil hanging on every voting machine in the city today. This was so that those wanting to vote in for Mrs. Lydia Ayotte or Frederick Puckey, ."write-in" candidates for Con- gross, could do 50.
 The pupils of Duggan school this morning enjoyed \ morning snack when party workers at the 1lth district polls divided their lunch among the children in the school playground.
 William Mahaney, always a col orful election day figure in the Brooklyn district appeared this morning wearing conspicuous blue feather In his hat band, and appeared to be enjoying the pro- ceedings more than ever.
 One kindergarten pupil of Dug gan school approached the polls near noon time, walked up to Detective Joseph Bender and in- qulred as to how she could cast a vote for President Roosevelt. Detective Bendler informed the young lady that her school teach- CT would supply that information.
 Republican Moderator Charles Dubauskas of the 1lth district paused this morning to inform friends that he began his politi- cal career in a small way, build ing up to his present day suc- cess. One heckler who over- heard the remarks, (maybe democraU retaliated with wise- crack that he would be e,back driv- ing a truck tomorrow.
 All polls about the city today were placarded reminding party workers of the 75-foot law, and 1t appeared as though the ruling was strictly enforced.
 Voters of the 18th district re- ceived an added thrill, other than that of voting, when Engine 4 was called out to subdue brush fire shortly after Il o'clock this morning. The alarm came at a very busy moment, when several voters were at the polling placc in the fire station, and a mac scramble for cover ensued, on the part especially of several women.
 A similar thrill was experienced by voters of the third district when Engine Co. , was summoned at 10:05 a. m., to fight Q house blaze at 37 Bronson street. The Walnut street fire station is the polling place for the third dis trict voters.

hopes on rolling up huge majority in Hartford county, predicted a substantial majority" for the na- tional and state tickets.
 The polls at Hartford were guard ed closely to prevent repetition Of demonstrations several years ago which resulted in numerous arrests for intimidation.
 Bribers Face Arrest
 U. s. District Attorney Robert P. Butler announced he had been in- formed of attempts to bribe voters and that he would order arrests up- on being furnished proof of the reports.
 National Union for Social Justice leader, John Toohey, at East Haven, who claimed he was discharged from the WPA after he had refused to pledge support of his following to democrats, was investigated by Prosecutor Arthur P. Connor who said he might issue a warrant for Toohey's arrest on a charge of false information
 G.O.P. COnfl0ent
 Republicans were confident that the state would remain in the party, as 1t has been since 1912, princi- pally because of New Deal resent ment which they expected to cut down the democrats strength in the cities. Democrats, on the other hand, claimed a majority of the independent vote, which represented almost 25 per cent of the total elec- torate. The strength of the Union party, which has a candidate for president and five congressman, was unpredictable.
 Of the six congressional places, four arc now held by democrats. Republicans seeking reelection were the veteran, Schuyler Merritt, Stamford, and William L. Higgins, Coventry.
 Governor Poll Watched The outcome of the gubernatorial contest, in which Governor Wilbur L. Cross seeks reelection for fourth term, occupied particular attention. He is opposed by States Attorney Arthur M. Brown, Jewett City.
 Tn 1884 Governor Cross carried only 35 of the states 169 cities and towns and emerged with a plurality of 7,599 votes. In 1892 his plurality was l0,780, although the state went for Hoover.
 Platforms of the respective parties were virtually identical. The New Deal played a minor role in the gubernatorial race and state issues were hammered until details of the proposed unemployment insurance bill were disclosed last week. Repub- licans capitalized on a provision for one per cent assessment on em- ploycs. Governor Cross charged political trickery" in revealing the contents of the bill just before elec- tion and flatly denied he supported the employees contribution phase.
 Republicans were assured of ma jority in the state house of repre- sentatives. The senate now is divid- cd, l7 democrats, Is republicans and 3 socialists. Unless the democrats can increase their seating by talk ing from either republicans or so- cialists, the republicans socialist coalition will continue to rule the upper branch.

Midday Survey

Hartford, Conn, Nov. 3-(UP)-A mid day survey of the states prin- cipal polling places indicated a record-breaking ballot in the state and national elections.
 Hartford registrars reported be- tween 45 and 50 per cent of the el!gi- ble 78,000 voters had cast their bal lots before noon, an exceptionally heavy result.
 At New Haven, home of Governor Wilbur L. Cross, who is seeking & fourth term the voting booths at all 8 wards were damned throughout the morning and there were long waiting lines.
 The governor cast his ballot early at the 18th ward, with his son and daughter-in-law, MT. and Mrs. Avery Cross. Wilbur l.. Cross, Jr., and his wife, voted in the 18th ward.
 New Haven Is Strong
 New Haven listed 74403 registered voters and both parties looked for a turnout of more than 90 per cent. New Haven and Hartford gave President Roosevelt outstanding ma jorities in 1882
 Similar reports came from Stam- ford and Danbury, the only two cities to give Hoover majority in the last national election. Polls were taxed to capacity and the noon- day rush added to the jam.
 Bridgeport Democratic
 Bridgeport reported 45 per cent of 55, ,000 registered voters had bal loted by noon and the heaviest vot- ing in history was reported through out Fairfield county.
 Police were called at Stratford when a campaigner, distributing It. erature, stepped within the 75-foot

omen of good luck.
 AS they entered and left the hall, the brilliant floodlights of photo graphers were centered on the presi- dent and his son. The heat was intense and both were perspiring freely as they stood while a battery of cameramen ground away.
 Voting Rush
 Voting in the presidents home district was unusually brisk. Shortly before noon $50 of the TOO voters had registered their selections.
 "How do you feel?" the president was asked as he left the hall.
 "Fine," he smilingly replied.
 It was noticed that he wore a tie on which were embroidered donkeys, the symbol of the democratic party.
 Out in the unusually warm Mo- vember air, MT. Roosevelt took his place in the rear seat of an open au- tomobile while the photographers again made movies and still pictures.
 He said l.e was going to take it easy for the rest of the day, probably going for a short motor ride through the winding roads of his farm in the late afternoon.
 The president came to the polling place with his 83-year-old mother, Mrs. Sara Delano Roosevelt; Mrs. Roosevelt, their daughter, Mrs. John Boettiger, and her husband; Miss Nancy Cook, Mrs. Malvina Schneider, secretary to Mrs. Roosevelt, and Miss Marguerite Le Hand, White House personal secretary.

DAY OF OATH

Norris 'Iame Duck" Amendment Ends March
 4 Inauguration
By EDWARD W. LEWIS nlkN6 Prexg Stan C0rYeSnOndentl

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Washington, Nov. 3-UP)-The next president of the United States for the first time in history, will be inaugurated in mid-winter-Jan- uary 20, instead of March 4, as a re- suit of the Norris lame duck" amendment.
 Washington, despite its souther- ly location, finds winter often grim. AS a result a snowstorm beating down on the Capitol may be the in- auguration greeting for the next president.
 Four years ago Franklin D. Roosevelt was inaugurated on the center tier of Capitol steps on March {. The day was hay, chilly and windy.
 Term Cut Short
 Next year, as a result of an amendment to the constitution sponsored by Sen. George Norris (R) Neb., the new president must take his oath of offlce almost eight weeks before any predecessor-in January-Ofte a clustering, snowy month even as far south as the languid Potomac.
 Norris sponsored the constitution al amendment in the belief that the "lame duck" congress in mod ern times was a relic of the past, with its slow transportation arrange ments.
 Now with airplane and stream lined train, he argued the will of the people in a November election should react on legislation. with the beginning of the new year after the cl. ;tion.
 Congress Meets Jan. 5
 Thus congress will meet-a new congress-on Jan. 5, and president be inaugurated on Jan. 20 for the first time. President Roosevelt there- fore finds himself the first presi- dent in history with a term cut short.
 One major hazard to the inaug- uration has resulted from the Nor ris amendment. Previously a lame duck" congress has met in Jan uary-A congress already organized to give official benediction to the electoral college count.
 The new amendment provides that on Jan. J, one day after the new congress convenes, house and senate will S.. in joint session and give legal status to the electoral voe.
 However, the possibility has risen thLt the house--an admixture of political fiiliations-may be unable to organize by that date. A strong "liberal bloc" conceivably could de- lay election of new speaker so that the joint session would be de- layed.
 May Need New Law
 Tn that even a new law would have to be rushed through setting another date for verification of the electoral vote. This would be nec- essary in event of the house failing to organize, If a new president Is to take the oat;i on Jan. 20. ..
 Inauguration day often has been a day of rough weather, straining f , physical strength of government ofiicials, particularly of justices of supreme court who usually attends en masSe.
 March is blustery and dangerous ] Washington. January is even more 50. The capitol for several years past has been susceptible to New England wintry weather. A spell of 1t in January could affect the glamour of inauguration day. The drive from the White House to the capitol by the president and his successor conceivably could be through a driving blizzard.

 what would happen. One heckler came armed with pocketfu Of disreputable- looking eggs.
 Suddenly, about l0:l5, a husky young man fainted. He was carried to a bed, where M:5. Bouge, a reg istered nurse, examined him. She said "he pulled it." He was better in no time.
 Three drunks, one of them in a battered condition, started row. A neWspaperman called two police men and they were elected. One of the drunks complained he didn't want to 'leavc the republican ral- ly."
 This is not a political gather ing, said Brother Smith, "it is a prayer meeting, in the name of Jesus only"
 Pictures Snapped
 Cameramen snapped pictures of the group kneeling in prayer. Broth CT Smith opened the meeting with a reading from the Bible. Jesus said" he intoned, "tha. men ought always to pray and not to faint" The hoodlums seated on camp chairs obtained from an undertaking es- tablishmen, Uttered.

 He began reading excerpts from magazines and newspapers. A voice in the audience objected when he lifted one paper. "I'd rather" said the heckler, you skip over that. It's a Hearst paper"

 Heckled again, the leader of the flock said: "Now want you to hear all this. We'll start the regular pray CT meeting after you men have gone."

 New York State
 Albany, N. Y., November g. (UP) = The greatest army of voters in New York's history = probably 6.000,000 = moved on the polls to- day, aroused by one of the sharpest national and state campaigns since Civil War days.
 An overwhelming majority of the states 6,2l7,246 registered voters was expected to mark ballots for president, governor, lieutenant-gov- ernor, comptroller, attorney general. members of congress and the sen- ate and assembly before the polls close at g D. m.
 The threat of indictment weather over much of the state resulted in a strenuous 'get out the vote" drive.
 Governor Lehman and his repub- lican opponent, William F. Bleakley, ended the most extensive guber- material campaigns in modern hiS- tory with victory statements.
 The vigorous democratic fight to win New York's 47 electoral votes for the New Deal came to its end with President Roosevelt personally appealing for the support of his home state.
 Republican State Chairman Mel win c. Eaton predicted Governor Ali M. Landon would carry the state with plurality of 250,000 and Judge Bleakley by at least 100000.
 PENNSYLVANIA CLAIMS
 Philadelphia, Nov. 3.-(UP)-The largest voting army ever enrolled in Pennsylvania marched out today to ballot for presidential, state fiscal, congressional and legislative candi- dates.
 The eligible list reached 5000, ,000; the probable vote 100000, depend- ing to some extent upon the weather and the effectiveness of district workers. Showers were pre- dicted throughout the state.
 Because of hard fought contests, more than usual disorder was ex- pected. State police were sent to some sections to assist local peace officers.
 The states 38 electoral votes were vital to the election of the repub- lican candidate, Gov. Ali M. Lan- don, but democrats hoped to swing the state for President Roosevelt and break a chain of g. o. p. su- premacy which began in 1856.
 Republicans claimed victory by a larger margin than the Herbert Hoover plurality of 157,000 in 1882. Democrats predicted at least 250,- 900 plurality for MT. Roosevelt.
