since the days of James Monroe,
for Mr.. Roosevelt captured the 523
electoral votes of 46 states. Only
Maine and Vermont, with five and
three electoral votes respectively,
were won by Landon and Knox, the
Republican candidates. Their pop
ular vote, when all returns are in,
and tabulated, may be sixteen and
a half million.
The amazing New Deal landslide
is looked upon by most unbiased
observers not as Democratic party
victory, but a personal triumph for
President Roosevelt, an expression
of confidence in him and recogni-
tion of the improvement in the coun-
try's business and industry. 1t was
so overwhelming that the President
may well consider he has been CIV
en- carte blanche to do as he pleases
in carrying his policies on to
their logical ends. What he may
please to do depends largely on
pending decisions by the Supreme
Court of the United States on New
Deal legislation.
President Roosevelt, moreover,
will have at his command a con-
greSS more heavily Democratic
than were the last two, for the lin
gering hopes of the Republicans
that they could capture enough seats
to enable them, in conjunction with
conservative Democrats, to put up
effective resistance to New D e a
measures, were not realized. The
New Deal majority in the new SEN
ate will be about five to one, and
in the house it will be almost four
to one. The few Republicans will
be permitted to take part in debate,
but when it comes to vote the
congress will be virtually a one
party affair

Navy and Army Growth
Noted in Reports

CECRETARY of the Navy Claude
~ Swanson, who it is believed may
retire from the cabinet, made his
annual report to the President show
ing that the navy had made con-
siderable progress in its program to
build up to full treaty strength.
At the end of the 1886 fiscal year
last June 30, the secretary said,
the navy had under construction 70
vessels. Further, the 1897 appropri-
ations act provided for the building
of 10 vessels as replacementS for
over-age ships and for the begin
ming of construction in 1887 of two
battleships. The capital ships are to
be built only in the event battle
ships replacement construction is
commenced by Great Britain or
Japan, the other signatories to the
London treaty of 1880.
The secretary emphasized the
need for auxiliary vessels, which
service and supply combat vessels,
as necessary to the maximum eff
cheney of the fleet. Present auxiliary
vessels are old and unfit and should
be replaced with modern craft, he
said.

Peace Move in Labor

e OR day or two it seemed that
l. the two factions in the American
Federation of Labor might get to-
gether before the convention open
ing in Tampa on November 16. But
plans for a conference between
President William Green and John
L. Lewis, leader of the c. 1. o., fell
through when the former said he
had no power to reinstate the sus-
pended unions. Lewis and his chief
supporters held two day meeting
in Pittsburgh, after which he said:
1.-THE convention will determine
the future of the c. I. o. If it
supports the arbitrary and insolent
attitude of the executive council,
that will be one thing If it shows a
disposition to give consideration of
the fixed principles of the c. I. O.,
that will be another thing"

Wage Increases and
Dividends Declared

MAJOR producers of steel, led
4V1by the Carnegie-Illinois Steel
corporation, largest subsidiary f
United States Steel, and the Colum-
bia Steel company, west coast men,
ber of the same group, announced
wage increases averaging 10 per
cent and in some cases running as
high as 25 per cent, which will add
about $50, 900, 900 a year to the in
dustry's payroll. In most instances
the increases were to take effect
November 16. According to compi-
lations of the American Iron and
Steel institute they will affect $685.
700 employees throughout the coun-
try.
Committees acting for employees
at more than a dozen plants rejected
the offer, demanding higher pay.
Negotiations in these cases are
therefore continued.
Directors of numerous big cor
porations authorized special divi-
dends to stockholders and wage bon
uses to workers that will release
many millions of dollars. This is
in pursuance of the policy of avoid
ing SO far as possible the stiff levies
imposed on undistributed profits I'M

also, in most cases, in recognition

Spanish Government
Flees From Madrid

WHILE the Fascist insurgents
w were smashing their way into
Madrid and hurting shells among
its chief buildings, the Socialist gov
ernment of Spain, headed by Prem
ier Fancisco Largo Caballero, fled
from the capital and set itself up
in Valencia on the Mediterranean
coast. The capture of Madrid by
the rebels seemed certain and this,
it was believed, would be followed
by recognition of the Fascist Gav-
ernment by several powers, inckad-
ing Portugal and Italy and perhaps
Germany. The first nation to &C.
cord this recognition was the Cen
trail American republic of Salvador.
It is not to be assumed that
this would end the civil war, i'm
mediately or soon. Caballero, it was
reported, believed the loyaIsts
could best continue the struggle
from the south, and it was claimed
they had strong concentrations at
Valencia, Cartegena, Alicante and
Albacete. Moreover, there were in
dications that they would soon re-
ceive open aid from Russia and per-
hapS France. Leon Blum, the
French premier, told a Socialist
meeting that he was ready to scrap
the non-intervention pact and help
Caballero if Great Britain would
join in such action. This caused
CONSERVATION a m n G the British
statesmen.
Fighting in the suburbs of Madrid
was continuous and bloody. The
casualties on both sides were heavy,
and the Fascist bombardment by
artillery and planes killed and
wounded hundreds in the center of
the city. The Socialist defenders had
been ordered to hold their posts
regardless of losses, and they
fought bravely and stubbornly.

The "PhillipS" Way
Millions Are Adopting

On every side today people are being
urged to alkdlize their stomach. And
thus ease symptoms of ''acid indiges--
tion," nausea and stomach upsets.
To gain quick alkalization, just do
this: Take two teaspoons of PHIL
LIPS MILK OF MAGNESIA 30
minutes after eating. OR - take two
Phillips Milk of Magnesia Tablets.
Relief comes almost at once -
usually in a few minutes. Nausea,
''gas" - fullness after eating and

feel like a new person.
Try this way. Get either the liquid
