which retained Herbert H. Lehman,
Democrat, in the governor’s chair.
In additioh the Democrats took
California, which has had a Republi-
can governor for many years, and re-
placed the Republican governor of
North Dakota with one of their own
party.
They also placed a Democrat in the
governor’s chair in Maryland, pre-
viously held by a Republican.
But wh*le the Democrats and the
New Deal lost much, they had much
to lose. The results left the party se-
curely in control of both House and
Senate, although the Republican gains
vastly increased the potential effecti-
veness of a coalition of Republicans
and anti-New Real democrats.
The returns pushed the stock mar-
ket 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 lat-
ter were moderate.
Hon. Charles L. South, candidate for
re-election to Congress from the 21st
District, won by a very wide margin
over his republican o'pponent, Max J.
Bierschwale, and Hon C. H. Gilmer,
of Rocksprings, unopposed for the of-
fice of representative from the 86th
district, led the ticket in a number of
voting precincts in various counties

assist in landscaping tire project, giv-
ing much needed information in the
way of proper trimming of trees, the
kind and amount of grass needed, as
well as assisting in other ways toward
this needed city improvement program.
Judge Johnson is handling the coun-
ty’s end of the matter, and Barney
Weaver and Elmo Boyce will have
charge of the city’s interests in the
park movement.
The committee of ladies, accompani-
ed by the city committee and Judge
Johnson, will visit WPA officials in
Uvalde just as soon as necessary
data is in hand, and present the mat-
ter for consideration by the WPA of-
ficials, after which it will take but lit-
tle time to get workmen started on
the contemplated improvement at the
parksite.
Just as soon as the blue prints and
specifications and plans have been per-
fected, then we will give an intelligent
account of just what is contemplated
by the committee of ladies, the county
and the city in the matter of a public
park, so necessary here.
But we do want to compliment
over-yield of
nets interests
well.
