LATE COUNTING
FERGUSON RETAINS 60 PER
CENT RATIO, ROOSEVELT
MAJORITY, 300,000.
(From Dallas Morning News)
The revolution at the polls which
elevated Franklin D. Roosevlt to
the presidency and cut down Re-
publican officeholders was empha-
sized by late election tabulations.
The figures told the story of an
electorate so determined upon a
change that it braved almost ev-
ery variety of weather to register
the greatest popular vote ever
known, millions higher than ths
outpouring drawn by the intensity
of the 1928 campaign.
President Hoover saw every state
west of the Alleghenies turn
against him. Only Pennsylvania,
Connecticut, Delaware, New Hamp
shire, Vermont and Maie kept
the Republican faith. Rosevelt’s
electoral vote reached a new high
figure of 472. Mr. Hoover had.
fifty-nine. For election 266 were
necessary. Hoover received 444
four years ago.
Michigan went Democratic. So
did Iowa, birthplace of Herbert
Hoover; California, where be liv-
es; Kansas, home of Vice Presi-
dent Curtis, and among others,
Ohio, Indiana, IIHnois, and Minne-
sota.
Senate Greatly Changed
That was only part of a country-
wide political upheaval. The result
was substantially the same whe-
ther one looked at the Senate, the
House, gubernatorial’races or even
returns affecting prohibition.
Political old-timers blinked as
they tried to envision a Senate
without such captains of the Re-
publican old guard as Jim Wat-
son of Indiana, Reed Smoot of
Utah, George Moses of New Hamp
shire and Hiram Bingham of Con-
necticut. All beaten by Democrats.
Add to them another veteran, Sen-
ator Wesley Jones of Washington.
The eloquence of Senator Borah
in Idaho apparently failed to
save his Republican colleague, Sen
ator John Thomas.
The opposition of antiprohii-
tion organizations and of devoted
followers of Al Smith, combined
with the ordinary Republican op-
position, did not prevent William
Gibbs McAdoo from winning easily
in California. , >
There were thirty-four Senate
seats at issue. The Democrats cap ,
tured twenty-seven of these to
give them fifty-eight seats in the
Seventy-third Congress. The Re-
publicans took five. The others
were stl doubtful. The number ■
necessary for a majority is tony -
nine.
House Majority Grows
On the House side, already Dem-
ocratic, the tale of Republican dis-
aster was repeated. The winners
have 218 seats there now. They
are certain of 276 after next
March 4 and.seventy-eight House
races are still in doubt. The num-
ber necessary for a majority la

MS GET BIG LANDSLIDE
The newest oil development is
in the Plainview community, with
a block of land covering what is
known as "Leech Dome.” This
block has been leased by the
Cochburn Oil Company of Hous-
ton, with the Steed Production
Company contracting for the dril-
ling of the well.
Material for the derrick is al-
ready on the ground and the well
will be drilled on the farm of
Carl Lurker.
Mr. Cockburn has been very
successful in locating domes and
bringing in hew fields around
Houston, and claims this as his
“pet dome",
