The election of Charles A.
Sprague of Salem as governor of
Oregon, to take office in January,
was assisted by his nome county
by just slightly less than a 2-to-l
margin, it was revealed when the
last precinct reported its final
count late Wednesday night.
. Earl Snell topped the state re
publican ticket here as elsewhere
, with his overwhelming -victory for
reelection as secretary of state
over Emily F. Edson, democrat.
Rufus C. Holman held compara
tively a better edge here over Wil
lis Mahoney for United States
senator, than he did in the state
at large, his margin being more
than 6000 votes.
Putnam Holds
Lead Over Rice
The lead of Rex Putnam, -incumbent
superintendent' of - pub
lic instruction, over Charles A.
Rice, republican," was approxi
mately the same as that of -Holman.
Congressman James W. Mott
who was expe-ted to set a na
tional record for margin of vic
tory in a congressional district,
led A. C. Burk,-democrat, almost
2-to-l In this county. -
Only by approving the repeal of
the double liability constitution
al provision for bank stockhold
ers did the voters of Marion coun
ty manage to differ In any partic
ular from the Judgment of Oregon
voters in general on the state
measures. This amendment was
. approved here by less than 200
votes, but lost in the state.
20-day Measure
Gets Support .'-"-The
measure granting the gov
ernor, 20 days to consider legisla
tive bills after adjournment of a
session received strong ' support
here along with the marriage test
bill which topped the list of pop
ular, measures. Marion county
voters approved the two bills ban
ning 'slot machines, pinball ma
chines - and similar devices by
more than 2-to-l but defeated the
proposed constitutional amend
menf legalising lotteries by .a
smaller though substantial 'mar
gin. Its "bait" of old age security
funds may have made it slightly
more popular. The bill tightening
liquor control provisions lost by
1000 votes.

ry toward a national constitution
al convention to adopt the Town
send plan carried here by a mar
gin of nearly 2000. but the retire

Some voters passed up certain
of the measures, but apparently

Of '40 Hopes Despite Loss
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-fP)-W
as h lngton political observers
kept the name of Thomas E. Dew
ey high on their listot republican
presidential v prospects tonight,
even though he did lose In the
New. York gubernatorial election.
Ordinarily when a political
new-comer meets defeat in a ma

least until he has demonstrated
his vote-setting -powers by a
comeback. ?. . -
But Dewey, ma n y thought,

House Membership Gains

Republicans Also Strong
in Several Contests
Narrowly Lost
(By the Associated Press)
Republican gains in every
broad section of the land except
the south fired the expectations
of party leaders tor a successful
1940 presidential campaign today
(Thursday) and brought predic
tions of a substantial opposition
to new deal me&surts in congress.
For Tuesday's balloting added
eleven republicans to the roster of
the nation's governors. Increased
the party's membership in the
house by more than 77 and gave
It at least eight additional votes
In the senate, -
Increased GOP
Strength General
But even these victories did not
completely measure the extent of
the republican advance. In set-
eral major contests which the re
publicans lost, their party display
ed much more strength than in re
cent years.
Against the republican tri
umphs, there were offsets. One
of these was a narrow democratic
victory in the all Important state
of New York, which retained
Herbert H. Lehman, democrat. In
the governor's chair.
in addition the democrats took
California, which has had a re
publican governor for many years,
and replaced the republican gov
ernor of North Dakota with one of
their own party.
They" also placed a democrat in
the governor's chair In Maryland,
previously held by a republican.
Democrats Remain
lnDrlver's Seat - -
But while: the democrats and
the new deal lost much, they had
much to lose. The results left the
party securely in control of both
house and senate, although the
republican gains vastly increased
the potential effectiveness of a co
alition of republicans and anti
new deal democrats. '
The returns pushed the stock
market into an energetic upward
swing that produced : new highs
for the 1938 bull trend. And the
bullish spirit was apparent, too,
in gains for bonds and commodity
prices,, although the -latter were
moderate.
Republican spokesmen were
quick to make the most of their
victory. Senator Vandenberg, of
Michigan, whose stature as a pre
sidential prospect seemed to in
crease wjtn a republican victory
in his state, said the election was
"an amazing defeat for the Roo
sevelt party and program" and
one that was "the more convinc
ing because of the marvel that
such a victory could be won
against Santa Claus." ,
Hoover Declares
Result "Protest"
Former President Herbert Hoo
ver issued a statement saying that
a majority of the voters cast
their ballots for anti-new dealers.
He called the result 'a protest"
that "should enable the beginning
of the end of this waste of public
money, these policies of coercion,
political corruption and under
mining of representative govern
ment." He added:
"The reinvigorated republican
party is now in position to join
effectively with the anti-new deal
democracy to cheek these policies
in too congress and thereby eon
tribute to restore employment and
agriculture to re-establish confi
dence In business, and above all
to restore faith in America."
Missouri, considered to be a con
servative or "middle-of-the-road"
democratic possibility, had by an
imposing majority taken a long
stride : toward the position of a
compromise 1940 party choice.
Republican victories In Pennsyl
vania and Ohio were regarded as
placing the names of Governor
Elect Arthur James of the former
and Senator-Elect Robert A Taft
of the latter In the running for
the 1940 nomination. They placed
Governor-Elect John W. Brlcker
of Ohio in the same category.
"There i have been past . tickets
combining a New "York, and an
Ohio man. -The strategy is to catch
the seaboard vote with one and
ballots from the Interior with the
other. Such a combination, of
Dewey and either Taft or Bricker,
already has some offstage backing
In the party for 1940.
' James A. Farley, chairman of
the democratic national commit
tee, suggested today that Senator
Arthur Vandenberg, Michigan re
publican, was "the "man to de
feat" '
To this, Vandenberg retorted
that Farley had . his hands full
looking after the democratic party.

votes, a margin scarcely secure
from possible reversal when the
vote is officially canvassed and
the poll boards', tally sheets re
checked. The unofficial complete
count from the city's 26 pre

favorable and 5179 adverse votes.
City voters on the other hand
rejected the proposed one-eighth

the city council will have to con
tinue its past custom of paying

Not until the last few precincts

nitely established that although
construction of a building replac
ing the present one was authoriz
ed by Marion county voters by a
margin of more than 3500 votes,
the financing of such construction
was refuse&T
The difference between total
votes on the two measures re
veals a possibility that failure of
many voters to understand the ne
cessity for voting on both, was
really the cause for defeat of
the financing measure, since the
financing measure showed nearly
2000 fewer votes for and against,
than the authorization measure
which preceded it on the ballot.

jority of the voters thought they

Is Unknown
Whether in view of the passage
of the authorizing measure, any
thing can be done toward con
struction, was not definitely
known in the absence of an
opinion from the district attorney,
but the possibility was seen that
the county might start making
budget appropriations from year
to year. The requirement for fed
eral cooperation might complicate
this program.
No change in the results of
county contests occurred over

Legislature Is Republican
For First Time Since 1932
PORTLAND. NOV. 9--Ore-gon
voters yesterday restored in
the state legislature the republi
can strength Hhat succumbed in
1932 to the Roosevelt landslide.'
Republicans gained control of
both the senate and the lower
house. At the last session they
had a majority In the senate while
the democrats ' controlled the
house." In yesterday's political
about-face the republicans retain
ed their senate leadership and re
captured the lower house. "
Multnomah county was a heavy
contributor to the republican
comeback. At the , last session,
Multnomah county, for example,
was represented in the lower
house .by 1 2 democrats and ' one
republican. After yesterday's elec

Labor unions argued that the
bill, which would throw union
books open to inspection by mem
bers and curb picketing and boy
cotting by unions, would wreck
them.
A 3 to 2 margin was piled up
in favor, of the measure, which
also was opposed by Governor
Elect Charles A. Sprague.
The vote on two. pension pro
posals showed that Oregonians
favor larger old age pensions but
that they don't want to pay iW
them. The bill to levy a two per
cent transactions tax to pay pen
sions of 65 a month to oldsters
was defeated by almost 2 to 1,
whereas the Townsend memorial,
to direct the legislature to ask
congress to call a constitutional
convention to adopt the .Townsend
old age pension plan, carried by
a comfortable margin. ,
The bill preventing the loca
tion of a liquor store within a
quarter of a mile of church or
school and to place sale of beer
and wine in liquor stores was
snowed under by almost 2 to 1.
Anti-gambling sentiment was
apparent in" the passage by large
margins of the arfti-slot machine
and antl-gaming devices bills,
while the initiative to legalize
gambling was defeated easily.
All marriage license appli
