Reynolds majority, despite his
effortless campaign, threatened to
surpass the 100,000-mark and
Hancock sent him congratulations.
Latest count in the states major
contest Saturday, from 1861 of
1852 precincts, gave Reynolds
275,402 and Hancock 1854.
Reynolds left Asheville, his
home, Sunday at 5 p. m. for
Washington, after informally Gel
ebrating his denomination.
There was no noteworthy upset
in contests for congress, the state

by a majority that probably today
had passed the $4,000 mark over
his opponent, Paul Grady, former
unsuccessful candidate for the
leutenant-governorship.
lncumbents were uniformly VIC

 In the present campaign, how ever, Meyers is passing his appeal on whether Seattle is behind Presi- dent Roosevelt, assailing Langlie as an anti-New Dealer. Langlie insists that there is no issue in the muni- cipal campaign, and also refuses to make an issue of alleged Communist support for Meyers, saying, There are serious questions facing Seattle.
