SECTIONAL LINES ERASED
Herbert Hoover’s victory in the South and Smith’s
vote in some of the northern states indicate that the sec­
tional lines in the United States have been, to a certain
extent, wiped out. The prejudice that has served in the
past to hold the “ solid South” in the democratic column,
can no longer be claimed as an asset of the democratic
party, judging from Tuesday’s results.
Mr. Hoover said there should be no North or South
or East or West in the United States. O f course those
who opposed Mr. Hoover would say that he was merely
playing for votes, but I believe he really meant what he
said and evidently thousands of southerners believed it.
As a member of a southern family, both my grand­
fathers having served in the Confederate army under
General Lee, it certainly is gratifying to read the reports
from my old state indicating that the people have voted
for men and ideals, and that the feeling that has been
shown in every election since the Civil war until this time
has, apparently, been outlived.

Republican Ticket Sweeps the
Country in Election of
Intense Interest.
Sweeping through the east. the west
and the border, and threatening seri­
ously the solid south, Hoover and
Curtis were borne along on a tide of
rising majorities as returns from the
election assumed definite character.
Overtaking earlier leads established
by Smith and Robinson in several im­
portant states, the republican ticket
was leading in every state thus far
heard from except for the most rock-
ribbed of the democratic strongholds
of the south.
Hoover Wins Smith’s Home State-
New York city, which as the early
returns poured in, was celebrating the
election of their native son, Governor
A1 Smith, as president of the United
States, later began to quiet down as
bulletins were flashed on the boards
from upstate districts showing Hoover
gradually overtaking their idol. About
midnight all hopes had faded and what
once looked like the biggest celebra­
tion in years died out.
COUNTY’S LONE DEMOCRATIC OFFICER
à
Sheriff E. T. Mass has reasons to be elated over the
results of Tuesday’s election. The county, giving the re­
publican county, state and national ticket an over­
whelming majority, gave Mr. Mass an equally large ma­
jority, There was no real reason for opposing George
Randall. Sheriff Mass has been a good officer, and the
voters had recognized the act and hired him for another
four years. Had there been any criticism or dissatisfac­
tion of any consequence he could not have been re-elected
in a county with the habit of electing republicans by the
majorities usual in Clackamas.
It can not be said that Mass made a campaign. His
opponent did not make one either. It was simply a propo­
sition of the voters selecting the man they believed to be
best fitted, and this they did, emphatically.
-------- oOo---------
ALL TOGETHER— LET’S GO
<
I
The city of Estacada has elected almost a new set
of city officials. Everyone one of them was elected by
decisive majorities, indicating that they have the confi­
dence of the public. L. A. Chapman without a doubt is
the choice of most of the citizens for mayor, and had it
been known that he would accept the office if elected,
neither of the other two candidates would have filed for
the position.
.
. .
Something must be done about the water proposition
at once, and as this matter must be handled by the council,
it should have the support of the people. There may have
been factional differences of opinion on different matters
in the community in the past, but it’s time they were bur­
ied and forgotten.
The time has come when Estacada people should
solidly unite for community upbuilding. Let everyone
forget their petty grievances, get behind the council in
an effort to solve the water problem, support every
worthy community enterprise wholeheartedly, and watch
the town go forward. This is the one and only way that
cities can build and prosper.

HERBERT HOOVER
Ex-Secretary of Commerce, who was
elected President of the United States.
Smith lost his own state of New
York; Hoover carried his home state
of California.
Hoover leads in the southern states
of Virginia, North Carolina, Florida
and Tennesee, and has a fair chance
in Texas.
The republicans made gains in both
the senate and the house.
The New York governor polled a
goodly number of the popular vote,
but if the republican majority contin­
ues Hoover will lead his democratic
opponent by about 5,000,000. In the
electoral vote however, Hoover seems
to have gathered over 450, leaving
Smith with 100 or less.

CHARLES CURTIS
Senator from Oklahoma, who was
elected Vice-President of the United
8tatee In the Republican landslide.
Having listened to the returns at
his home in Palo Alto, Cal., through
the earlier hours of the evening, Mr.
Hoover had retired satisfied that he
had been elected by one of the largest
electoral college pluralities ever given
a presidential nominee.
Border States Turn Republican.
Assured of a sweeping victory in
Oklahoma and Kentucky and running
well ahead in Tennessee and Missouri,
the republican presidential ticket ap­
peared to have made a clean sweep of
this border group of states for the
first time in a general election.
In Kentucky the campaign had been
bitterly fought, especially in the mourn*
tain sections. The Hoover ticket was
aided by fair weather, known as "re­
publican weather” in Kentucky, en­
abling voters from the mountain sec­
tions to get to the polls.
Three of New England's six states
appeared definitely settled in the
Hoover column as the mounting totals
of returns piled up.
Maine and Vermont held true to
tradition and remained in the republi­
can column by what appeared likely
to be record-breaking majoritities.
New Hampshire seemed assured for
Hoover, while Connecticut likewise
showed a margin for him.
Massachusetts and Rhode Island,
upon which the supporters of both
Hoover and Smith centered their at­
tack, remained in the doubtful column.

REAL ACCIDENTS FEW
What are generally classed as accidents are in most
cases not accidents at all, but merely the results of pure
carelessness, according to a noted railroad surgeon, who
declares that really unpreventable accidents are very few.
The greater number of accidents are caused by failure to
keep in mind the consequences of a slight mistake in judg­
ment, or in “ taking a chance” even when the danger is
realized.
O f 25,000 deaths in the United States through auto-’
mobile accidents each year, it is safe to say that 90 per
cent of them are due to someone’s disregard of ordinary
precautions. The worst feature of this is that a reckless
driver not only endangers himself but also trifles with the
lives o f others.
In accidents due to fire the same principle holds
good. Everyone knowTs howT easily the careless throwing
of a lighted match may start a disastrous fire, yet millions
of lighted matches, cigar and cigarette stubs are cast
aside with little or no caution. Practically every fire tha^
occurs is caused by stupid carelessness.
Accidents do happen, of course, under circumstances
wherein no one appears to be at fault, but these are in the
minority. Generally accidents are caused by ignorance,
careless or wanton disregard of consequences.
Herbert Hoover swept through the
entire farm belt, rolling up leads In
some areas in excess of uormal re­
publican majorities.
Farm Relief Issue Fails Democrats.

Smith Sends Message.
At the same time Governor Smith
made public a congratulatory message
to his republican opponent.
" I congratulate you heartily on your
victory, and extend to you my sincere
good wishes for your health and hap­
piness and for the success of your ad­
ministration.”
Republicans Gain in Senate and House
Among democratic house seats cap­
tured by the republicans are six in
the border state of Kentucky and one
in New York, where a republican was
elected to a seat held by a democrat
not up for re-election. On the basis
of early returns, one republican seat
was won by a democrat.
In the senate, the republicans had
definitely picked up two seats. Four
republicans have been re-elected and
all of the 13 republican seats involved
in the election appear to be in the
