Tele- phones were kept busy and hun dredS listened to The Empire-KINY returns broadcast over the radio station here.
 So devastating was the victory that Democrats and Republicans were a little astounded at the re- suits, the former because of the un- precedented landslide and the lat ter because of the poor showing made by their candidate. Today it continued to be the sole subject of conversation.
 One of the brightest gestures around the town today was at Gar hicks Grocery where the pictures of Candidates Landon and Knox were draped in mourning, clever inter- pretation of the fact that Americans are good losers as well as noisy winners.
