was definitely stopped by Citadel tack-

pass and subsequent run for the
touchdown should not have been al

At the end of the license year. Sat
urday, eppsoximately 255,000 motor
vehicles had been registered by the
motor vehicle division, Mr. Bohlen
said.
It waa estimated that about 145,000
licenses had been issued Saturday for
the new license year, which meant
that there wete still to be issued some
100,000.
Officials explained that although
enforcement would not begin before
Friday, all orders received hereafter
that were postmarked after October
31st would also have to include a fee
of 50 cents, in addition to the amounts
shown on the-application cards, for
late registration.
Commenting on the postponement
of enforcement, Mr. Bohlen said, “We
do not have authority of law to extend
the time for purchasing motor vehicle
licenses, but on account of ‘many
thousands of unfilled applications, our
law enforcement officers have been
instructed not to make cases before
Friday, November 6th.”
All day Saturday a line of persons
stood at the windows of the highway
department waiting to purchase tags.

The election tides were running
swift and strong toward Roosevelt
early yesterday (Wednesday). So im
pressive was the president’s lead—
he was ahead in no fewer that 45
States—that the Democrat^ claimed
the most sweeping electoral victory in
history. A radio broadcast at eight
o’clock Wednesday morning showed
London ahead in only two States—
Maine and Vermont.
The great States of New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio—a bloc whose
weight ia usually decisive—were
helping to pile up the Democratic
ticket’s impressive margin of leader
ship. Westward to California the
story waa the seme.
The 45 States that the President
apparently has captured have a total
of 519 electoral votes, leaving only
