The president carried the Solid South, New York, Pennsylvania, Illi nois, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, Min nesota, California and other smaller states. He almost carried Maine, one of the two states carried by Landon four years ago. The Senate and House are Democratic, but in the House the Republicans are stronger than at present. Georgia gave Roosevelt a smash ing majority. Jackson County cast a very large vote and gave President Roosevelt an unprecedeeted majority. Jeffer son cast 420 votes. 390 for Roose velt, 88 for Wilkie and 2 for Prohi bition candidate. Minish district polled 743 votes for Roosevelt and 45 for Wilkie.
