ALBEN W. BARKLEY
Keeps Record Intact -
Berkley's Return
To Senate Assured
By Farmers' Votes
Louisville, Ky. (U.R) The
Veep was headed back to the
Senate today, still holding his
record of never losing to a Re
publican in almost 50 years of
political life.
The Republicans did their
best to turn back former vice
president Alben W. Barkley's
bid to regain the Senate seat he
held for 22 years before he be
came vice-president in 1948.
Leads by 75,000 Votes
They sent against the veter
an Democrat the top Republi
can votegetter this border state
has seen, Sen. John Sherman
Cooper. But with only about one
fourth of the ballots still to be
tabulated today, Barkley .was
leading Cooper by 75,000 votes
and the outcome was certain.
The tally for 3,219 of 4,133
precincts gave Barkley 364,493;
Cooper, 289,549.
Owes Victory to Farmers
Barkley owed his victory to
Kentucky's tobacco - raising far
mers, long his staunchest sup
porters. Cooper carried metro
politan Louisville by a few hun
dred votes, but was swamped
in the out-state voting.
Speaking from his Paducah
home, Barkley said, "I appre
ciate this new expression of
confidence from the people of
Kentucky. I will devote all my
energies, both physical and
mental, in working for the peo
ple of my state."

DICKSON LEADS
Portland (U.R) William L.
Dickson, whose battle to get on
the ballot carried to the State
Supreme Court, led Thomas R.
Mahoney today in their race for
the probate position on the
Multnomah County Circuit
Court.
Case's Opponent
Claims Victory
. Newark, N.J. (U.R) Demo
crat Charles R. Howell claimed
victory today in a narrowing
election battle with Republican
Clifford P. Case Jr.
Howell, whose election would
make him New Jersey's first
Democratic senator in 18 years,
issued a victory statement shortly
before midnight, but Case re
fused to concede, predicting "We
will win."
With all but 56 of the state's
3992 districts reported, Case had
834,205 and Howell 845,416 a
plurality of 11,211.
The Republicans fought hard
as the margin narrowed. They
said there was something
"wrong" with the totals, and sai
they would seek a court order
impounding all voting machines
in pivotal Essex county.
Patterson Thanks
Voters of Oregon
Portland (U.R) Informed
that Joseph E. Carson Jr., of
Portland, Democratic candidate
for governor, had conceded him
the election, Gov. Paul L. Pat

will continue as I have in the
past to give my best efforts to
the job."
