NEW YORK —(UP)—Herbert Hoover of Cali-
fornia has been elected President.
Running for office the first time in his life, he
defeated Governor AI Smith of New York, a veteran
master of politics, in one of the most spectacular vic
tories in the history of American campaigns, ac
cording to nationwide returns collected by the Unit
ed Press Wednesday.
--Hoover smashed the solid south,
the first time the republicans have
done so in fifty years.
Hoover also took Smith's own
state of New York with its great
block of 45 electoral votes.
The result, ns tabulated by ths
United Press, stands as follows:
Klectornl Vote: Hoover 38Sj
Smith 76; doubtful 72.
