THE8B words are written on elec

going on. By the time they are read,
of course, the result will be known.
No matter what the result may
be, a lot of people will be aaylng:
"Didn't I tell you so all the time?"
It's funny how people are that
way. lent ltT
ELECTION day" a great day In
newspaper of floes.
The new has to be gathered and
given to the publlo at the earliest
Voslble moment, for that ta what
newspapers are for. Everybody, from
the office boy up, shows up for work
on election night,
Nobody around a newspaper office
even thinks of going to bed on the
night of election. There la too much
to be done.

"Do newspaper workers "nave to be
TOLD to come back and work all

office. They love the excitement of
gathering the newa of the voting and
giving it to the people who are wait

FUN.
Newspaper workers like their Jobs
which, probably, la why they stay
, with them, for newspaper making Is
an exacting task, requiring long hours
of effort at high speed, fighting
against time.
YOU pick up your paper and read
how the voting hw gone. In all
probability, you give not a thought

8 o'clock. In some counties,
there are double boards, one count

Xn others, one board does both Jobs.
As soon as the polls close and
counting begins, messengers from the
newspapers gather the result of the
first dozen or so ballot counted and
rush these figure to the office, where
they are segregated and added. This
process is known a tabulating.

The county clerk's office said to

WETS SEE BEER
I
CONGRESS MEET
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. (AP)
Exuberant wets are talking hopefully,
If still speculatively, of "beer at the
December session."
Their confident predictions, rejected
by the drys, are bolstered by Tuesday's
overwhelming successes, national and
state, of a party whose platform flatly
promised repeal of constitutional pro
hibition and modification of the Vol
stead act.
Then even before all ballots were
counted, the beer cause received new
Impetus from such Democratic leaders
as Robinson of Arkansas, the senate
leader, and Harrison of Mississippi,
the senate whip. Their voices added
volume to a pre-election forecast of
Speaker John N. Garner, vice-presi
dent-elect, that the lame-duck house
will vote beer.
Dry countered quickly, denying
the election recorded a clear cut pro
hibition trend. They mentioned the
large majorities by which the same
senator and representatives who met
In December, refused to vote beer last
spring.
A question mark to both sides was
President Hoover' attitude toward a
beer bill. Without hla signature the
legislation would need a two-thirds
ma Jori ty th e s ame proportion re
qulred for action on the eighteenth
amendment.

By the Associated Preai.
Their victory swelling with every
additional return on Tuesday's tre
mendous vote, America's new Demo
cratic leaders faced today four months
of arduous preparation tor the re
sponsibility of piloting the govern
ment. A free hand in directing the country
was given President-elect Roosevelt
by election of a house three to one
Democratic, and a senate controlled
by his psrty, 59 to 38. This smashing
victory only emphasized the signifi
cance of his never-before -attained
electoral vote of 472 to 69 for Presi
dent Hoover.
Mounts Toward Record.
The popular vote kept mounting
toward record flgurea with 20,161,080
recorded for the winner and 14.184.887
for Hoover, from approximately three
fourths of the country's voting dis
tricts. Under this amazing grant of power,
Roosevelt expressed his appreciation
by saying "this clear mandate shall
not be forgotten."
He termed it " a' national expres
sion of liberal thought."
Already he has Informed the con
gressional leaders of his party that
the time from now until March 4 will
be devoted to creating the machinery
required for the Democratic program.
He Is to choose also a cabinet, a ma

he may break one more precedent by
announcing its make-up considerably

A conference here between George
Alexander, former state prohibition
director and now deputy superin
tendent of state police, and I. H.
VanWlnkle, attorney-general, outlin
ed what could and what could not
be done as a result of the wiping out
of the Anderson dry law In Oregon.
ffta-to enfocement officials now
must confine their activities toward
arrests for drunken driving, drunk
enness, operation of stills and the
poaseaslon of mash. Possession of
Intoxicating liquor, transportation
and even sale, officials said, are not
lnforceable, despite the fact that the
constitutional amendment, prohibits1
manufacture, sale and lmporatlon of
Intoxicating liquors for beverage pur
poses. The etate officials explained that
while the constitutional prohibitions
are on the books, no machinery for
their enforcement Is now provided,
no funds made available, nor pen
alties determined. These were In
cluded In the repealed Anderson act.
With the few exceptions under
other state laws mentioned, the fed
erel law Vlone Is in force, and the
Volstead act Is not as prohibitive as
the old Anderson act, It was ex
plained. City ordinances, passed to conform
to the state dry law, are not re
pealed, and can be enforced by city
officials. The federal laws governing
Intoxicating liquors are enforceable
by federal officers.
