Wots Carry New Jersey. Prohibition was the out-and-out Issue in the New Jersey guberna torial race, but in the victory of A. Harry Moore, democrat, over Slate Senator Arthur Whitney, who had the support of the anti saloon league, the democrats ap proached to the overturning of the 30.000 plurality given President Coolidge last year. While Moore rolled up a plurality of approxim ately 40.000, largely through the heavy vote cast for him In his home county of Hudson, the vic tory was not as sweeping as some democratic leaders bad predicted, their forecast running as high as 100.000. Tammany Still Rules N. Y. City. The democratic victory In New York City was overwhelming. State Senator James J. Walker de feated Frank D.

Al Smith Triumphs. NEW YORK. Nov. 4 Governor Al Smith has had another mighty triumph at the polls. His protege. State Senator Jan. J. Wslker, who defeated Mayor Hy Ian for the democratic nomination in a bitter primary battle, was elected mayor of New York yester day by an enormous plurality over Frank D. Waterman, republican and pen manufacturer. Four proposed amendment to the state constitution for, which the governor stumped the state and which were opposed by the repub lican machine, were approved by the voters. This new proof of the political power of the governor Is something of a valedictory If he carries out his announced Intentions.

T WILL REACH HALF- Solicitors Confident That More Than One-Half of Total Sum Will Be Pledged The Community Chest drive started off yesterday with excel lent results. Two teams reported last night with more than $3,000 while -other reports were not made, but It Is believed that al most one-half the sura, has been pledged. The drive went on today with renewed vigor and subscrip tions continued to pour In.

The solicitors are meeting with even better results than they had anticipated. Practically no refus als have been met.- In a' few In stances tbe contributions have not been as large as had been hoped for, but for the greater part the Roseburg people are responding with a will. Salaried people particularly are giving more than they had been expected to pledge, and It is believed that the receipts from these workers will make an exceptionally fine showing when the returns are all in.

Aa immediate renovating of the Jail, and the submitting of a pro posal to the voters of the county to make a special levy for the erection of a new court house, were recommendations made to the court. ' The jury stated that It has taken into consideration the fact that past recommendations of a similar nature have become a mat ter of Jest, hut that the condition prevailing should be one ot grave Importance, and should not be treated lightly. The report Is as follows: Hon. J. W. Hamilton. Judge of the above entitled Court: We, the Grand Jury duly Im panelled In the May 1935 term ot thia Court, beg to report that we have Inquired Into all crimes committed or triable In this County and have presented them to this Court by Indictment In all cases, when all the evidence be fore us, taken together, was such a In our judgment would. If un explained or uncontradicted, war rant a conviction by a trial jury. We have Inquired Into the con dition and management of the County Jail and offices porlainlng to the Courts of Justice of this County. . From such inquiry we find that the general business of Ihe County is being conducted In as efficient manner as Is possible under the adverse conditions ex isting at the present lime. Our examination of the County Jail has disclosed to us as it has to Grand Juries preceding us for a great numlicr of terms, a condl- Ulnn that ought not to exjxt in j any civilized community. It Is, In our opinion, a blot upon the name of Douglas County to permit the continued existence of such an in stitution for one day longer than Is absolutely necessary. We examined the jull building carefully. In our opinion it la not a fit habitation for a human being. We recommend and urge that Immediate steps be taken to thoroughly clean the building and rilatn lar-t l anil rivniiiiiipnil that this work he done aa murh as possible by prisoner. We fur Ithor recommend that Ihe jsll be kept In as sanitary condition a possible In the same manner, that Is, by using the labor of convicted public offenders. In our Judg ment. It is useless to attempt to remodel or repair the jail so as to mke It of use for the purpose for which It was Intended. This I structure has been liuilt for over (thirty years and the needs of Ihe M'ountv have long rlnce onlgrnwn the size of the building. The I at met nre can not properly house over three or four Inmates at the I present lime as the greater por- llon or the building Is wholly i unsafe as a place of restraint. .Common sense dictates that the i present Intolerable condition I should be remedied hy the aban donment of Ihe present structure and the erection of a modern structure suitable to present and 'future needs. Again we call the attention or this Court, the County Court, and Ihe taxpayers of llnuxlas County, to tho Imperative need of a new Court House. We are all tax payers ourselves and fully realize the heavy tax burden which we now carry. However, after our thorough Inspection of every room In the Court House we can not hut realize that, heavy as our tax burdens are, we miiM add there lo a sufficient amount lo relieve Ihe present fire hazard occasion ed hy the stove healing hazard of the County Court House.
