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. How States Voted Electoral vote as compiled by the (Turn to Page S; No. 1) Word has been received by the parents of Mr. Duke Pittman, RMIC of the United States Navy that he has been selected iby the Navy de partment for special duty in China.
