ROOSEVELT WINS
THIRD TERM BID
FOR PRESIDENCY
Captures 80 States, But Wendell
Willkie Captures Tremendous
Popular Protest Vote
MARYLAND is DEMOCRATIC

President Roosevelt smashed
one of Americas most ancient
traditions Tuesday with a sweep
ing victory in his battle for a
third term. His election was con-
coded early Wednesday morning
by Wendell L. Willkie, his hard
hitting Republican opponent,
who had made the third term
question one of the two out
standing issues.
AS States considered doubtful
swung into line the Roosevelt victory
became hourly more impressive. The
President definitely had taken 80
States with an electoral vote of 1853
Actually Willkie was assured the def
mite support of seven states, with
total of As electoral votes. They were
Maine and Vermont, Colorado, Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota.
The lead was still uncertain in New
Jersey, North Dakota and Indiana
WIN 81 electoral votes.
The President won magnifcently,
but Willkie captured a tremendous
protest vote against the Administra-
ton with a popular vote of 10 mil
lion as against only % million for
President Roosevelt.
On the whole the American people
apparently placed their faith in the
Presidents pledges okeep the ma
ton out Of war, to achieve unity in
the nation and to solve domestic prob
lens.
Congratulations of the losers were
sent to the President and the OPPOSE
ton urged national unity.
Maryland For Roosevelt
Marylanders gave President Roose-
welt majority of over $4,000 to add
its eight electoral votes to the total.
Even more impressive was the victory
of Senator George L. Radcliffe, Demo-
cratic incumbent, who on the basis of
returns from 1916 polling places de-
feated former Governor Harry w.
Nice, Republican, 372,O8S to 1911 1863
Late returns swelled the safe ma
jorities of Democrats in the House of
Representatives but Republicans
scored a counterstroke with a net gain
of four seats in the Senate Control of
both Houses, however, still rests with
the Democrats.
The Democrats elected 264 mem
bers, six more seats than they held in
the present Congress and forty-six
more than majority.

GARRETT COUNTY
GIVES MAJORITIES
FOR REPUBLICANS
Lead of 1908 For Willkie Here Is
Like Drop In State Or National
Political Bucket
AGAINST ALL AMENDMENTS

Garrett county maintained its
stand for Republicanism in the
election on Tuesday, and altho
Intellectual as far as swinging
Maryland into the Republican
columns or contributing much in
Il national way, it showed that
progress had been made in in
creasing Republican majorities
here over the past eight years.
Garrett county gave a majority OF
1908 for Mr.. Willkie over President
Roosevelt, the unofficial returns plac-
ing the figures at 4376 against 2768,
and gave both Harry w. Nice and
| Walter P Johnson stable majorities.
Nice received 1850 votes compared to
2766 for Radcliffe, and Johnson polled
4037 as compared to 1869 for his OPP
ponent, Congressman Byron.
Other candidates for the offices of
President and United States Senator
received only smattering of votes.
WILKES majority in this county
was the highest it had been since 1920,
with the exception of the year Al
Smith ran against Herbert Hoover,
when the latter carried the county by
1903. Roosevelt's majority over Lam
don in 1886 was 805, while in 1882
Garrett county gave Hoover a major
ity of S16 over Roosevelt. Coolidge's
majority over Davis in 1924 was 1868.
Willkie carried every voting place IN
the county by substantial margins with
the exception of Bloomington,
Kempton, Kitzmiller and Vindex,
where the labor vote was heavily pro-
Roosevelt.
The oldest voter in the county to
exercise his right of franchise was
the venerable George Marley, 104, Of
Deer Park. He cast his vote for Mr..
Roosevelt before noon and was then
brought to 0aklsrqt.; for a visit, his
first trip to the county seat for at
least three years. He was greeted by
nized the names Of those mentioned.
Mr.. Marley has been practically to-
tally deaf for several years, but by
shouting in his ear he was made to
understand with whom he was speak
ing.
Voters Against Amendments
Voters were consistently against all
amendments and referenda, when they
voted on these questions at all, even
to the point of voting against the pro-
posed amendment which would have
made it mandatory for public officials
to pay income tax, the same as other
citizens.
This against" vote was taken to
mean that the people generally did not
understand the various amendments
and either did not vote at all OF in
most cases voted against.
With 10 out of 25 polling places re-
porting the following tabulation
showed two to one against the propo-
SltlOnS:
l. Court of appeals clerk appoint
ment, BAT for, $50 against.
2. Baltimore peoples court, 2S6 for,
$50 against.
3. Tax on judges salaries, 336 for,
Sol against
4. One term for governor, 80 for,
542 against.
5. Increasing legislators salaries,
256 for, $50 against.
6. Third circuit judges apportion-
ment, 231 for, 484 against.
Z. Additional Judge, 7th circuit, 100
for, 494 against.
The official returns will be released
this afternoon by the Board of Super
visors of Elections following the
meeting in the Court House.
