With President Roosevelt and his
running mate Harry Truman carrying
the election in 35 states with electoral
votes totaling Alb to Dewey's 13 states
with 11S electoral votes, sizeable dem
ocratic majorities in both houses of
congress were also assured
OF the 408 safely elected according
to yesterdays reports, 229 were dem
ocrats, 1S0 republicans, / American
labor party and / progressive. There
were still "a undecided contests. The
democrats won five vacancies to the
republicans three. The democrats
overall gain was 25.
Senators elected included 10 demo-
Gratis and IL republicans. There were
five undecided contests with the dem
ocrats leading in two of them and the
in three. With holdover
senators totaling 36, the democrats
are sure of 66 now as against the re-
publicans 35, so the undecided con-
tests will not affect the democratic
majority no matter what their out
come
Democratic governors were elected
in five states in place of republicans
now in the chairs. Liberal Frank ].
Lausche, mayor of Cleveland won the
governorship of Ohio from his repub-
lican opponent, Mayor James Garfield
of Cincinnati Another liberal demo-
crat, Mon. C. Wallgren, defeated the
reactionary governor of Washington
state, Arthur B. Langlie. Massachu-

PRODUCTION
CREDIT ASSNS.
GROWING

Farmers and stockmen made con
siderable progress during the last
year in the operation of their produc
ton credit associations" says G. r.
Arnold. Production Credit Commits
sioner "The total membership of the
SIT production credit associations at
the end of the fiscal year, June 30,
1914, was 355, ,153, which is the high
est membership in production credit
history"
The B stock in these associations
held by member borrowers is the vot-
ing stock which entitled farmers and
stockmen to voice in the manage
ment, each member having one vote
of the number of shares
held. At the close of the fiscal year
there were 285,656 class B stock
holders whose stock holdings had
par value of $26,164,360.
The associations had legal reserves
and unapplied earnings amounting to
S30,442,O3O, which was equal to 1870
of their total outstanding capital
stock. These reserves amounted to
11% of the all-time maximum amount
of loans outstanding reached on June
80, 1914 The total farmer-owned
stock plus the legal reserves and un-
applied earnings on that date
amounted to $5S,671,773, which was
4S%5 of the total net worth of the
associations.
Clace A CT in tho accnnfa.
tions represents non-voting stock.
Some of this is held by members who
are not actively borrowing at the
time. On June 30 they held A stock
amounting to $2,065,3S3.
At the end of 1943 the boards of
directors of "a associations voted to
pay dividends ranging from to 7ee
on both A and B stock
The production credit associations
during the fiscal year ended June 80,
1914 made loans to member farmers
and stockmen numbering 226,154 for
s5O2, ,006, ,124, which was approximately
the same amount as was loaned dur
ing the preceding 12 months.
In citing the activities of the pro-
duction credit associations during the
year, Mr.. Arnold referred to the COM
record which they have
made in selling war bonds. He said
that besides purchasing for their own
account some $1S,000,000 in bonds,
they had sold $33,50O,0OO in bonds and
stamps to members and others.

VALIDITY OF ELECTION
QUESTIONED

A petition is to be presented in
a few days to the Montana supreme
court, asking the tribunal to de-
clare the election invalid according
to reliable information received to-
day by the editor of The Voice.
The petition will assert as grounds
for invalidating the election that
certain sections of the Montana
election laws were violated by all
candidates and by all Montana pub
locations in the state, during the
campaign, it is reported.
