Governor, Gov. McKeldin said.
"If there is any real signifi-
canoe in the result" he said, "it
lies in the fact that the Repub-
lican candidate obtained AZ per
cent of the total vote-a new
high for Governor in the Old
Dominion. 1t speaks we'll for
the rise of the two-party Sys-
tenn. and therefore for contin-
uance of good government"
Gov. Battle of Virginia, Demo-
crat, had nothing to say about
results outside his State. But he
said he was very much pleased
with the victory there of Thomas
B. Stanley. the Democratic NOM
inee for whom he campaigned.
1T was about what I ex-
pected," Gov. Battle said, "and
of course we like to have our
ideas confirmed"
Gov. Battle said VirginianS
had voted for the candidates
they wanted, not for those Gen.
Eisenhower wanted, "but I don't
think in Virginia it was a vote
against Eisenhower.
Sees Democratic Congress.
Gov. Murray of Oklahoma,
who supported Mr.. Stevenson in
1852, said the results point to
a Democratic Congress next
year.
1T is a repudiation of the
Eisenhower administration in
some respects" he added.
Gov. Shivers of Texas, an
Eisenhower hacker, said it
seemed to him "the best candi-
dates" had won in the individual
races. He said he was not fa-
miliar enough with the local sit
uations in each case to interpret
any national trend in the results.
Gov. Johns of Florida said he
thought the whole results indi-
Gated that "the trend is definitely
back to the Democratic Party"
1.-THE Republicans are not
measuring up to their promises, "
he said, land the voters are
catching up on them at the
polls. It seems to me this points
in the direction of a Democratic
Congress next year."
Comment From Congress.
Among members of Congress,
comment tended as usual to re-
fleet both political ties and per-
sonal attitudes towards issues.
Senator Hunt, Democrat, of
Wyoming, said the Democratic
victories were proof of the gen.
eral dissatisfaction with the
present Republican adminiStra-
ton"
These were largely tests of
urban voters" Senator Hunt
added. land did not reflect the
known and wide dissatisfaction
in rural and farm areas"
He said city voters were dis
satisfied with the continued high
cost of living and imitation and
Government 80 completely
dominated by millionaires."
On the other side, Senator
Flanders, Republican, of Ver-
mont declared the voting was

test for Mayor, and in the race
for Governor of Virginia-the
two other elections to which
leaders of both parties had looked
for political trends.
The results were a blow to
the Eisenhower administration
The President in the final days of
the campaign, had expressed a
wish that the Republican candi-
oates would win, including the
candidates for Governor of New
Jersey and Governor of Virginia.
Meyner Wins in New Jersey.
In New Jersey, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, Robert
B. Meyner. was swept to victory
over his Republican opponent,
Paul L. Troast, largely on a cor
ruption issue. Mr.. Troast had
written a letter to Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey of New York, asking
parole for a convicted New Jer-
Sey labor racketeer and eXtor-
zionist. Joseph S. (Joey) Fay.
Mr.. Meyner will be the first
Democratic Governor of New
Jersey in 10 years.
More significant, however, was
the election of youthful Harrison
A. Williams, jr., of Plainfield, a
newcomer in politics. as Demo-
cratic member of the House from
New Jerseys 9Th congressional
district. He won with lead of
about 1000 votes over George l..
Hetf1eld. Republican, in a dis
trict that was carried by former
Republican Representative Cliff
ford Case, last year with a plu-
rality of $4,000. 1t was the first
Democratic victory there since
the 9Th district was established
in 1882.
Coming on the heels of a
Democratic victory in the 9th
Wisconsin Congressional Dis
trict a few weeks ago, the New
Jersey congressional election
leaves an impression that the
Republicans face a serious up
hill fight in the congressional
elections of 1854.
Lineup in House.
1t brings the number of Demo-
cratic Representatives in the 83d
Congress to 215. The Republi-
cans have 218, independents, /.
There is one vacancy, in Cali
fornia's oath district, which is
to be filled by special election
next Tuesday.
With the Republicans having
bare majority in the present
House and only At Republicans
to 48 Democrats and l inde-
pendent in the Senate, Demo-
cratic majoritieS may easily be
rolled up in the 1854 congress
sional elections, when the entire
membership of the House must
be elected. together with 35 Sen
atorS. The chances appear to
favor the election of a Democrat
in the California district next
week, too.

party has made gains in Con-
gresS in mid-preSidential term

Party Chief Looks
To Eisenhower for
New Lift in "a

Chairman Leonard w. Hall of
the Republican National Com
mittee looked at the election re-
turns today and concluded: I'VE
are in trouble"
Democrats gleefully agreed.
A few Republicans discounted
the G. O. P.'s election losses, AS
sociated Press dispatches showed.
But Mr.. Hall conceded his dis
may at the resultS-including
the election of Democratic
Governor and Congressman in
normally Republican New Jer-
Sey.
There is no question about it, "
Mr.. Hall said. "As of today we
are in trouble politically, despite
an excellent showing in Virginia
and several municipal elections" "
Looks to Eisenhower.
Mr.. Hall added. however, he
was convinced that when the
Eisenhower program goes into
effect next year the national out
look will be substantially diff
ferent."
Former Democratic President
Harry S. Truman said he was
very. very happy" at the election
outcome, which he said shows
that the people still have high
regard for the New Deal and
the Fair Deal"
Adlal Stevenson. the Demo-
cratic presidential candidate in
1852, viewed the results in this
manner:
Many people in many places
have expressed renewed conf
dence in Democrats and the
constructive record of the DEM
ocratic Party.
II am not sure what the re-
turns mean in all cases, but it
looks as though the fruit of Re
publican promises and perform
ance is dissatisfaction, disilluSion
and defeat"
Mitchell Exuberant.
The Democratic national chair
man. Stephen Mitchell, was
more exuberant. He said that
there was a clear trend back to
the Democratic Party which was
evident last month in Wiscon-
sin"
Local elections take on added
significance in the light of Presi-
dent Eisenhower's statement that
he was for all Republicans every
where" Mr.. Mitchell declared.
The elections make it plain that
there has been a clear change of
sentiment since last November.
The Democratic Party is on the
march from North, South, East
and West"
The Democratic chairman saw
the Virginia victory as confirm
ing his party's belief that it
would "recapture most or all of
TIE congressional seats that the
Democrats lost in the South last
year"
Down at Hot Springs, Va,
where the Southern Governors
are meeting, the Associated Press
recorded the following reactions:
Republican Gov. McKeldin of
Maryland said the New Jersey
gubernatorial contest produced
the only outcome that could be
considered an upset and even
that definitely was not a trend
away from President Eisenhower
and his administration"
Goo. McKeldin blamed a split
within the Republican organiza-
ton in New Jersey for loss of
the governorship. He said intra-
party divisions and jealousieS
may have influenced municipal
elections elsewhere.
Certainly it was no upset for
Virginia to elect a Democratic

Endorsement of Democrats
Mr.. Stanley saw his victory as
another Endorsement of the
record of the Democratic Party"
"a record on which his cam
paign had been principally based.
Mr.. Dalton, who is Republican
national committeeman and a
law partner of Representative
Poff, one of the States three
G. o. P. members of Congress,
promised to cooperate with the
new administration, but said he
had bucked "the most powerful
political machine in America. !"
"If I have contributed a
little toward the establishment
of a real two-party system in
Virginia my sacrifices have
been gladly given" he added.
Senator Byrd, who departed
from custom by personally en-
tering the campaign in the clos
ing weeks. commented only that
"the returns speak for them
selves"
1t was not Mr.. Stanley but his
two running mates who proved
to be the top vote getters on the
Democratic ticket. With only a
few precincts missing, Attorney
General j. Lindsay Almond, jr.,
led the ticket with about so per
cent of the vote over his Repub-
lican opponent, Walter E. Hoff-
man of Norfolk.
And Lieut.. Gov. A. E. S. Steph-
ems was pulling about SIS Der
cent of the vote over Republican
Stephen D. Timberlake of Staun-
ton.
Mr.. Stanley's percentage was
about SIS per cent.
Mr.. Almond and Gov. Stephens
saw the relative strength of the
Republican turnout as indicating
the Democratic organization
must broaden it's horizons.
THE organization will have to
be more liberal toward bringing
more individuals into party &C
tivities and councils" Mr.. Ste
phens said. He said the danger
sign is that many young people
showed a lot of enthusiasm for
the Republicans"
Mr.. Almond, a possible guber-
material candidate in 1857, said
the results demonstrate for him
what he has been contending for
some time-''that the Democratic
Party must broaden its horizons,
must come up with a progressive
program, appealing as far as is
consistent with sound policies, to
all segments of Virginia's popu-
latiOn."
He said he is opposed to ruth
less domination" in a political
party.
Mr.. Dalton had a special word
of appreciation for support he
said was given him by young
people.
II have sought to extend on
behalf of the Republican Party a
special welcome to the young
voters" he said. Through them

TRAILERS POSE
PUZZLE To CITY

With the state board of health
urging compliance, Port Clinton'S
city council Tuesday evening
agreed to investigate alleged sew
age infractions within the city
limits, especially trailers and
small residences in West Second
Street, north of Lakeview Gene
terry, where no sewage facilities
are available.
The unhealthy condition came to
light when Amiel Smith appeared
before council and asked that sew.
ers be extended along the north
side of the street. He was advised
to present a petition signed by
the majority of property owners.
Several families reside in trail
ers and small residences in that
area. There is no sewer facilities
available, and most have no sep
tic tanks.
Members of the councils build
ing committee will investigate not
only that area, but others through
out the city where trailers are be
ing used.

HERSBERCER SEEKS PERMANENT
INJUNCTION IN AIRPORT BRIEF

In brief filed in the Ottawa
County Common Pleas Court late
Wednesday, Leslie Meyer, attor-
ney for Milt Hersberger's Air
Tours, Inc, has asked Judge
Ralph Segrue, Tiffin, to grant a
permanent injunction giving Air
Tours, Inc, the exclusive right to
fly commercially to the Lake Erie
Islands.
Air Tours now is operating the
airplane service under a tempor-
ary injunction granted last year
by Judge Segrue, sitting in local
court by assignment.
In the brief, the attorney states
that the plaintiff, Mr.. Hersberger's
Air Tours, Inc, sincerely be-
lieves that this case has arisen be-
cause of the personal animus of
the Mayor, Carl Becker and the
vice mayor, Harold Nelson, to.

READY SOON FOR
PUBLIC MEET

A much discussed and long
awaited zoning ordinance may be-
come reality soon as Henry
Cowgirl of the Planning Commit
tee at Tuesday nights council
meeting stated advance copies of
the ordinance should be available
for councilmanic study by May 7.
After the councilmen have had
ample opportunity to study the
proposal, designed on a population
basis of $500 and with an eye to-
wards Port Clinton so years from
now," council and the Planning
Committee will meet to iron out
any controversies.
Later a public meeting will be
held at which time every property
owner should be present.
Mr.. Cowgirl, who is the city's
safety director, stated he and Po-
lice Chief Jack Shelter had stu
died the ambulance call situation
and recommended that ambulance
calls by police be placed on a
monthly basis, rotating every third
month among the three local COM
panies. Sanders Funeral Home
will be called during May in case
ambulances are needed in emer-
gencies.
Solicitor John Reinheimer an
nounced that the estimating board
had completed its work in esti-
mating the waterline project in
the westerly part of Payne Addi-
ton, and fixed assessments at
S233.58 for each tap.
Atty Reinheimer told council
men a recent petition, from Jack
son Drive residents seeking street
improvements, was insufficient
due to wrong signatures. 1t is to be
returned with a clear explanation
of the irregularities.
A letter, written by Mrs. Gladly!
Bowden and her sister, was reat
to councilmen stating their side O.
the controversy with Frank Put

In the letter, Mrs. Bowden asket
that no action be taken until def

air ports on the islands in Ottawa
County are privately owned and
that the ones on South Bass and
North Bass are owned exclusively
by the plaintiff.
"While it has been stated that
the plaintiff has the sole use of
the Port Clinton Air Port, this is
not true and the only right which
the plaintiff has which is not en-
joyed by the general public is the
exclusive right to engage in the
business of flying to and from
said Air Port to the Islands," the
brief added. This, of course, does
not cover any flights to and from
the Islands, except commercially"
the attorney continued.
Air Tours, Inc, in the brief,
submits that the evidence shows
that no tax payers funds have
ever been spent on the airport
until an action of the City spent

Gil in authorizing the expenditure
