Landon Carries Only a Bandful of States. 4^ • The ballot-box barometer of the people's will suggested strong ly a lop-sided victoiy for President Roosevelt as substantial but SOU far-from-complete returns of Tuesday's voting streamed in. In all but a handfpl4)f states, the Democratic rooster was < crowing loudly. nf■-Gavel3l£u^.lAndan*-fl■.Jltgollgeftt. supporters conceded defeat. Others waited hopefully for the later returns. The weather-vane states of New York and Pennsylvania rolled up Roosevelt leads counted in the high thousands. Through the midwest and on the I*acific coast other electoral votes nodded' toward the Roosevelt column in profusion.JiL two New England states, Mas- •achnsetts and Ck>nnecticttt, the Democratic ticket was ahead, and even in Landon’s own home state of Kansas the race was extremefy close. Newspapers Concede Roosevelt's Reelection The New York Times annottnq»d Roosevelt’s reelcction. So did tlto New York American, a Landon supporter. The Kansas City Star and the Chicago Tribune, both for Landon, reported a Roosevelt sweep. Tike Republican nominee held to a lead in^ only # half-dosen states. His reliance was in New England, where he took early leads in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island, and held to them fairly steady. He see sawed with Roosevelt in Iowa and a few others. ' The great cities piled up tremendous totals for the New Deal—so great in •ome states that the Republicans early lost confidence that the out-state vote could pull them down. New York, Chicago, even heavily Republican Philadeipbia, and many other centers of population rplled in the votes in billowing thousands.- Mr. Roosevelt, at Hyde Park, was described by his aides as ‘‘pleased.” Governor Landon, entertaining friends at a coffee and doughnut supper,at Topeka, Joked and smiled as. the returns ^me in, and indicated he'would bave nothing to say for'lhe present. Republican Chaitman Hamilton refused to give up. Late at night he re iterated hii faith that the country would tear away the earlier Democratic advantage. Tet all the time the figures in many states were building up tbe Roosevelt leads. Tbe New York retoms, baeoming available lata, immadiataly astabliahad a graat Rooaevalt laad in Naw York eity. It would ba aoma hours Wore it oooAd be determined whathar upstate votes, usually Rapidklieaik, eould over- aoma it It was a Btory of Roosevelt laadiag la a preponderant number of states fhnn the baginniag. In some the marghis wars mitow, in still others there were shifts; but tike 29 states in wkkh the New Deal had the advantage when the New York Amerieaa eoaceded, have a total of 801 electoral vot«i *****" Glarting off vrith a powerful utielena hi flw South, which alone has 140 aleetorti votes, Roosevelt won a steady if narrow lead even in Landon’i Kansas, and snfpiised even some of hft o^ friends by'^running ahead at timea in Maasaehuaetts. ^ Harrisburg, tike capital of Pennsylvania and normally a Republican strong- bold, put Roosevelt V(ell ahead and for actime hii lead in the state was run ning well a^ve 100,000. l Roosevelt'S lead in Illinois held well a^ve an impressive two to one. Connecticut gave him a lead of nearly 100,000 on returns from a third of the state, mostly the industrial areas. He ran two-to-one ahead in Maryland and held a Bomewhat imaller advantage in Indiana. - In Kansas, wHh the nine eleetoral votes of Governor Landon's own state at ataha, a eontinuoualy dose race developed. With something more than a sixth of the state reported, Rooeevelt was ahead by a Kttle more than 1,000 votes. William Lemke, Union-party candidate, backed by tbe Rev. Charles E. OoughKn, polled an insignifkBat number of votes. His 'greatest streui^h seemed to be coming from Illinois, Pennsylvuiis, MaMschusetts and MalM. No matter who wips the presidential election, returns from tbe solid South <p2idtly imured a Democrat^ majority of at least five in the senate. Those fiiut rtiported, to make at least 54 Democrats in the new senate, were Pep per in Florida, Russell in Georgia, Ellender in Louisiana, Harrison in Missis sippi, Bynes in South Carolina and Sheppard in Texas. It was too early to tell anything about the house of representatives. In Ktikiief. meanwhile, the veteran Republican Senator Capper was lead- / isg in his race for reti^on, aad Massachusetts reported that Republican Henry Gkbot Lodge, third, gTSiUdson of the famous senator of that name, was ahead in a three-comered battle for a place in the senate. Voiiiif HcaTjr In Every SccUea Epom praetiedly every aecCien came'reports of extremely heavy voting, linee formed te ltetr York, where a 8,000,000 reeord total was expected for the state.

The game should be close and hard fought, for while the Furman men have an advantage on paper the. Blue Stockings will be fighting on -their home field before a huge crowd and with their first team for the first tinie in ';over three weeks. 1 And no less interesting than the game itself will be the military exhi bition given during the intermiiaion between the hahres.

S. senate and the house of rep- resentptlves showed the Democrats leading in about the sanfu proportion. The amendment to enable the leg islature to provide old age pensions and similar leinsUtion had a 10 to 1 favorable vote In the available re turns. Reports from 469 precincts showed 37,286 votes for it and 3,116 against. '- The other amendment-^To author ize the enlargement of school dis tricts, had a smaller margin, but still overwhelming, 19,430 to 3,452. With returns listed from 308 pre cincts, Senator James F. Byrnes had 39,340 votes against a total of 1,006 for his two Republican opponents. Of the two Republican nominees, Joseph A. Tolbert, of Greenville, nom inated by the ‘‘old guard” headed by the veteran Joseph W. Tolbert, had a' slight advantage over Marion W. Sea- brook, of Sumter, named as th(^ stan dard bearer of toe Hambrigbit^ard- n» ‘illy whito” iaction. On a percentage basis, the Repub-^ Kean vote waa running slightly less than in 182 when it was 1.9 per cent. Roosevelt’s vote that year was 102,- 847, Hoover’s 1,978. ' Democratic leadera said the vote would tet a reeord for siu. Unusual efforts were made to get the voters to the polls because of the possible effect the total vote wottlifT have in fixing the state’s strength in the next national convention. Although the Republican factions had nominees for toe six seats in con gress, most county election officiaJiy apparently ignored the contests. Few figures were obtained on these races.
