YOUNG LOCAL FARMER
TO PARTICIPATE FRIDAY
IN TRACTOR CONTEST
(By the Associated Press)
President Roosevelt, the precedent
Taylor County Agent W. F. Bern-j breaker, smashed one of America's
most ancient traditions Tuesday with
a dramatic and sweeping victory in
his battle for a third term.
Helped along by the President's
sweep, Democrats kept control of
both the House and Senate.
With returns in many congression
al districts still incomplete, the
Democrats were certain of 237 house
19 more than the 218 needed
bare majority—Republicans
were sure of 114 and the American
Labor party one. At this point Dem
ocrats had won 17 house seats now
held by Republicans and Republicans
had captured six house seats now
held by Democrats, giving the Dem
ocrats a net gain of 11.
Among the Republican house mem
bers who won re-election was Repre
sentative J. W. Martin Jr., of Mas
sachusetts, the party's national chair
man.
The still incomplete returns showed
11 Democrats and seven Republicans
assured of election to governorships.
The outcome in pve of these contests
represented a shift from one party to
the other, giving the Democrats a
net gain of one in governorships at
this point.
Reports persisted that due to the
present emphasis on a need for na
tional unity in the face of foreign
developments Mr. Roosevelt might
ask his vanquished foe to assume a
post of importance in connection with
the defense program.
Certain it was that in many
minds Willkie's defeat had hardly
diminished his stature. The energy
of his campaign commanded wide
spread admiration not only among
his own followers but among his op
ponents, too.
