 Earlier today, Knox's Manchester Union had conceded New Hamp- shire to Roosevelt.
 With the defection of New Hamp- shire, Landon was assured of the electoral votes of only two states Vermont and Maine.
 The vote in this state really was c personal triumph for the pres. ident, since the republicans captured the U. 8. Senate seat when Qover- nor II. Styles Bridges, who had been mentioned last summer as Q possi- ble g.o.p. vice-presidential candi- date, defeated William N. Rogers. The republicans also won the gover- norship and successfully defended a congressional seat, while the demo- crats also retained their house seat.
