Beacon Falis, Nov. 6.-Although Beacon Falls gave President Roose- welt 58 vote plurality here over Wendell Willkie, Rep. William Bradley, Republican, was reelected to the representative office, defeat- ing his Democratic opponent, Jo- seph Trazski by the slim margin of five votes. The vote was 437 for Bradley to 432 for Trazski. When first counted 1t was 437 for Bradley and 430 for Trazski, but a recount gave Trazski a two-vote pickup.
 President Roosevelt received 467 votes to 408 for Willkie, and one more for Willkie on the Union ticket. Browder received six votes. This was the second time in recent years that Beacon Falls has gone Democratic in a national election, 1t having given Roosevelt plural ity here in 1886.
 Only last month in the town elec- ton, Beacon Falls went Republican by about 300 votes.
 Hurley was given Al votes here to AT for Baldwin and IT for Me- Levy. Shepard got 452 votes and McC Conaughy, 40. Woodhouse got 45S votes and Mrs. Crawford had 407 votes. Anastasio defeated his Republican opponent. Joseph E. Talbot of Naugatuck, here by a 4S9 to 425 vote. Dove had 448 votes and Teller 414; Sen. Francis Ma loney received 458 votes to 40 for Paul Cornell.
 Maciora boiled 454 votes here to 40 for Monkiewicz; J. Joseph Smith almost equaled the presi- dents mark, when he got ASA votes to 4O5 for Johnson and five for Ring. D. Emmet Shea, of Nauga- tuck judge of probate nominee, boiled 460 votes here to 406 for Thomas P. Saunders. Republican. In the senatorial contest for the 17th district, Kiernan, CD received 456 votes to 407 for Lynch, (R).
 MT. Bradley, who has served as representative for @ long period, was the only Republican to get plur- ality here.
 The total vote, e82. was c record here. There were only 939 eligible to vote so 1t may be seen that vot- CTS here yesterday realized the value of the privilege to vote.
 Mrs. David O'Shea was moderator of the election. Counting did not end until about il o'clock, the delay being caused by the re-check of the vote for representative.

Congressman J. Joseph Smith, returned to Congress for his fourth term from the once-Republ1can fifth district in yesterdays balloting, was pledged today to continue his efforts for national defense. Re- turned to office by @ plurality of well over 11,000 votes, the Demo cratic representative entertained close friends at reception at his Prospect home last night and today was preparing to return to Wash ington for resumption of the present congressional session.
 Reelection of Congressman Smith, on the basis of Waterbury returns, was announced by The Democrat over Station WATR before 6:3O o'clock last night. The evening was still earl ywhen his Republican op- ponent, Frank T. Johnson, Thomas ton resident and local reporter, con- ceded MT. Smiths reelection. Both candidates spoke from The Demo- crat,s editorial rooms over the radio.
 Heavy Support
 MT. Smiths large margin yester- day compared with his narrow vic- tory in 1888, when he was elected by less than 200 votes over Colonel Roy E. Rice. His victory was made possible by the heavy support he received in Waterbury, Torrington, Naugatuck, Ansonia and other in- dustrial centers, but he also man. aged to hold down his opponents edge in strongly Republican Litch-

saying that he was pleased with the G. O. P. efforts here.
 MT. Tangney, speaking over WATR, said:
 Naturally I am highly elated over the success of the Democratic party in Waterbury. This being my initial appearance as leader of my party, I feel particularly grati- fled. The hearty cooperation re- ceived from my fellow workers all along the line made possible the party success which was registered today at the polls.
 T extend congratulations to the successful candidates for public ofilce and my grateful appreciation to each and every person who SUD- ported the Democratic party in Wa terbury.
 '"The result of todays ballot in- dicates clearly and emphatically that a healthy and sturdy condition exists within the ranks of the Dem- ocratic party in Waterbury"
 Said MT. Hall:
 "Proportionately, Waterbury did a better job than party workers did in the three other large cities of the state when an analysis of the figures from Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport is considered.
 "In this election, Hartford and New Haven showed a reduction ot only about 5000, the same as Wa tefbury. Bridgeport's reduction was only about 5000.
 T want to take this opportunity to thank all the Republican work CTS for their efforts. The campaign was 8 clean one, and I'm grateful for that. am firmly convinced that the Republicans will be suc- cessful in next years city election" !"

Election Highlights

To judge from the excitement greeting the early returns here last night, you would think the election was in the bag, which, from the later returns, 1t proved to be. There was no excitement.
 Supt. of Police William J. Roach said the election crowds were the smallest in years, their activities the milCest. Not one complaint was re- ceived at headquarters.
 Slightly brewed, a man nudged a crony on Grand street today. What were the 'electorial' votes?" he asked. Without waiting for an an- sweE he said, Monkey business"
 Roosevelt has become habit, sort of chronic, to judge from the "re- action" to his election. The same kind of tranquility greeted his re- election in 1886, except that im- prcmptu arades formed four years ago. There was much speculation as to what the reaction" would have been, if the returns showed 8 big Willkie lead.
 There was lot of talk today about the big vote registered in Waterbury. Observers said they noted many invalidS being wheel chaired" to the polls, or walking with the aid of crutches.
 
 One of the cOmmonest remarks today went as follows: You know, it's funny. met a lot of Repub- licans who said they were going to vote for Willkie and a lot of Demo- crats who said the same thing, but not a Republican who was going to give Roosevelt his vote. Wonder what happened?"
 The "dagger-in-the-back" speech which prognosticators said would alienate the Italian vote in Water bury and elsewhere, was being re- vived here today. But to show that the prognosticators had 1t all wrong.
