President Wins
BY Landslide
Carries 4l States With 457
Electoral Votes

President Eisenhower's over
whelming popularity carried him
to an historic reelection victory on
Tuesday but there was an unprece-
dented amount of vote-splitting to
control Congress.
With 21S seats needed for control
of the House of Representative the
Democrats had nailed down 226.
Mr.. Eisenhower responded to the
tremendous endorsement given him
by the nations voters with this
quiet and solemn pledge
LAS long as l have any God-given
talents and any strength within me,
and my associates will work for
1853 million Americans here at home
and for peace in the world"
The sixty-siX-year-old Chief EX-
ecutive carried Al states with ASH
electoral votes to seven states with
IA votes taken by his now twice
defeated opponent, Adlai E. Ste
venson. The popular vote showed
32.453.623 for Eisenhower and 23,-
555. $50 for Stevenson.
The final popular vote margin
for the president, it was believed,
would approach 10 million. He now
has plurality of 8,897,8 1853 votes.
The nationwide surge of split
ballots brought defeat even to such
handpicked or endorsed Eisen-
hover Senatorial candidates as
James Duff in Pennsylvania and
Arthur Langlie in Washington.
There remained seven undecided
races for the Senate. Democrats
led in Arizona, Nevada, Oregon,
Colorado, South Dakota and in one
Kentucky race. Republicans held
the edge in the other Kentucky
contest.
The Democrats unseated Re
publicans in three states while los
ing in only two Thus, if the cur
rent front-runners sew up their
victories the Senate will be Demo
cratic by a 5l45 margin.
Stevenson and Sen. Estes Ke-
fauver both congratulated Mr.
Eisenhower and Vice president
Richard NJ. Nixon and pledged
their support in all that is good
for America"
The Presidents pattern of victo-
ry was truly nationwide. He cracked
four states off the once solid South,
swept such normally Democratic
big cities as Jersey City and
smashed Democratic campaign
claims of farm belt revolt that
would affect his own standing in
the Midwest.
likes margin of victory was great
er in both popular and electoral
ballots than his landslide win in
1852 when he carried 80 states and
swamped Stevenson by nearly sew
en- million votes.
Modestly and earnestly Mr.
Eisenhower pledged that his Adj
ministration would do nothing to
"betray the trust" placed in him
by a nation he has served as a
soldier, an international military
commander and a Chief Executive

Battle For Seat in Senate

tie for reelection to the United
States Senate in Tuesdays ballot
ing.
Butler polled 465,269 votes com
pared to 415,292 for George P. Ma
honey, his Democratic opponent.
Butler ran well behind President
Eisenhower in the Maryland vot-
ing but both winners increased
their margins over their 1852 cleo
ton.
Mr. Mahoncy conceded defeat
Tuesday night Senator Butler re-
ceived his concession at a Republic
can victory celebration at the Lord
Baltimore hotel and said, THE re-
Moved confidence in me and my
record, expressed so cloqucntly at
the polls by the good people of
Maryland, gives me a deep sense
of humility and qualification My
victory is all the more impressive
because il was achieved with the
help of so many Independents and
Democrats who put their nation
above party"
1t was Mahoneys fourth defeat
for high elective office since he
entered the field in 1850 with his
aspiration for the governorship.
He remarked, Better luck next
time"
Mahoney A Substitute
Mahoney, a substitute for the all
ing Willard E. Tydings, who was
unseated in 1850 by Butler, had
chung to a hope that his city margin
would pick up late returns, but
this did not occur and the tradition

and Butler.
This had been called the year of
vengeance for former Sen. Millard
f. Tydings who was defeated in
1850 by Sen. Butler after having
served for "a consecutive years in
the Senate. Last May Tydings won
the Democratic nomination by the
narrowest margin in the states his
