fight outside of a polling place where
voters were balloting today. The

According to police reports,' Mad
dox and the other two victims were

drove up alongside and its occu
pants, four men, opened fire on

gang,” a band of west side gangsters
with which Terry Druggan, more
lately a beer magnate, recently ar
rested jn San Francisco, was affiliat
ed before he becahie more opulent.
Anthony Kissarie, another gang
ster, was arretted and questioned in
connection with the shooting.
Nathan Feinstone, a La Follette
precinct worker, was found bleeding
in the street near a polling place as
the result of having been slugged.
Mrs. Englert, a La Follette worker,
reported to party headquarters. Mrs.
Englert took Feinstone to a hos
pital and then returned to the poll

“Let them come back, I’m not
afraid of the whole gang,” Mrs.
Englert said.

county today to prevent threatened
clashes between the Ku Klux Klan

Heavy voting was reported in the
early hours with no semblance of dis

IU FOLLETTE JND
HIS CBWTES
BADLY DEFEHED
■
(By Associated Press)
No tremble of a political earth
; quake was fell in southern states
as voters yesterday went about the
routine business of electing Demo
crats to state offices and returning
the nominees of j)emovratic pti
maries to senate ami house of the
congress. The only Republicans
named were those in congressional
districts here and there entrenched
in office and powerful even against
southern Democrats. i'he day
brought no upset worthy of the
name.
Entrance of Senator La Follette
into the race for the presidency was
not an influence apparently and no
follower of the Wisconsin candidate
has been shown elected to office in
the south, if available returns are
to be regarded as an indication of
the final compilation.
With the party in power given
a. new lease on life in state offices,
Tennessee seeming to offer the only
engagement characterized as more
than a scrimmage, interest was
focused on constitutional amend
| ments before the people of half a
dozen southern states for ratifica
tion.
Florida gave an emphatic stamp
of approval to the plan for placing
an everlasting ban on inheritance
and income taxes for residents. An
i amendment pledging the peninsula
I state, its heirs and assigns not to
impose such taxes was passed by
a decided majority.
Georgia will be satisfied to have
its general assembly meet once in
two years unless later returns un
seat an imposing majority in avail
able returns for biennial sessions of
the legislature to replace the annual
gatherings now in effect. The Em
pire state also favors exemption of
certain manufacturing industries
for a period of five years and passed
six other constitutional amendments
of less far reaching import.
South Carolina is listed on the
face of incomplete but convincing'
returns as willing- to stand pat on
its annual legislative sessions, the
amendment to inaugurate biennial
sessions being reported as running
behind. Doomed to defeat with 'this
amendment were the companion plan
to have state officials serve four
years and a bond issue for educa
tional purposes.
North Carolina’s spirited fight on
the question <rf referendum measures
for a state bond issue for the in
stallation of a state owned steamship
line and port terminals developed a
close contest at the polls with the
result reported in doubt the day aft
er election. The proponents and op
ponents of the measure were almost
neck and neck for a part of the
night but early morning returns
permitted the advocates of the plan
to draw slightly ahead. Georgia
voters ratified a, measure along simi
lar lines but of less significance
when they approved a constitutional
amendment permitting the port city
of Brunswick to issue bonds for
improvement of its facilities
ALABAMA
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Nov. 5.
Alabama gave John W. Davis a five
to one vote over President Coolidge.
Senator La Follette polled about one
third as many votes as the Republic
an ticket. At least five of the nine
counties which polled Republican ma
jorities in 1920 returned to the Demo
cratic column. Seven constitutional
amendments were adopted. One of
these gave perpetual poll tax exemp
tion to World war veterans while the
other six had to do with purely local
community affairs. In the seventh
district Representative Miles C. All
good easily defeated Dr. B. S. Cooley,
his Republican opponent. In four
other districts where Democrats were
opposed, the. Republicans received
only scattering votes. For the first
time in thirty years Shelby county
favored everj r Democratic nominee
on the ticket.
TENNESSEE
MEMPHIS. Tenn., Nov. s.—Demo
cratic majorities ranging from 17,000
to approximately 35,000 were indi
cated in tabulations early today of
the vote cast in yesterday's election,
with Democratic candidates holding
• the advantage in returns from 1.453
of Hie 2.139 voting precincts in Ten
nessee.
John W. Davis was leading in the
piesidential contest with a majority
of more than JO.OOO over the total
vote thus far reported for president
Coolidge ami Senator La Follette.
Unofficial returns from the 1,453
precincts in 90 of the counties in the
state gave Davis 92,812. Coolidge 75-
561 and La Follette 5,954.
In the senatorial contest latest
tabulations gave General L. D Ty
son, Democrat. 88,151, and H. B.
Lindsay, Republican, 61,932, and in

NEW YORK, Nov. s.—(By the As

Dawes swept the Empire State on
the basis of incomplete returns by a,
plurality of approximately 820,008,
but Governor Alfred E. Smith, Demo
crat, demonstrated his personal pop
ularity by winning the gubernatorial
nomination over Theodore Roosevelt
Republican, by a plurality of approxi
mately 113,000.
President Coolidge's total vote,
with 401 districts out of 7,563 miss
ing, was 1,750,281, as compared with
930,459, for John W. Davis, and 446,-
730 for Senator La Follette.
The vote outside of New York city,

Governor Smith’s total vote, with

was 1,548,606, as compared with
1,435,423 for Roosevelt.
The vote outside of New York city,

877,622; Roosevelt, 403,110, with 150
districts missing.
On the face cf incomplete returns,
Seymour Lowman, of Chemung, Re
publican, was leading Lieutenant
Governor George R. Lunn, of Sche
nectady, by approximately 40,000.
Scattered returns showed that Mrs.
Florence E. S. Knapp, of Syracuse,
Republican candidate for secretary
of state, was leading Secretary
James A. Hamilton, of New York.
Both branches of the legislature
will be controlled by the Republicans.
Governor Smith is the ojily man of
any political party ever to run four
consecutive (times for governor and,
with one exception, is the only man
elected for a third term in this state.
William L. Marcy, of Troy, served
for three consecutive terms, begin
; ning in 1832.
The vote for governor was the
■ feature of the election. Col. Roose
. ■ velt made a great run up-state and
' | captured Syracuse, Buffalo, Pough-
i keepsie, Binghamton, Gloversville,
Rome and other cities, some of
which cities were carried by the gov
i ernor two years ago. Smith's tre
mendous vote in the metropolis over
came Roosevelt's big lead in the up
state counties.
Col. Roosevelt, who received the
. returns at Oyster Bay, tendered his
congratulations to the governor
early today. He issued this state
ment:
“I am delighted/ that President
•Coolidge has re-elected. This is
all-important for the country. The
returns from the Republican state
headquarters indicate that Governor
, Smith has been re elected. I extend
■ i him my congratulations.”

GO-OP REAL BOON
ALBANY', Ga., Nov. 4. —Members
and officials of the Georgia Peanut
Growers’ Co-operative association
alike are feeling optimistic over tho
opportunities their association has
for making a good showing on this
year’s crop for the growers, and in
the way of demonstrating the effi
ciency of the co-operative marketing
principle.
Although the gross price of pea
nuts is only $65 to S7O a ton in some
places, the peanut association is ad
vancing its members as a first pay
ment $65 a ton, with other payments
to follow later. The result of this
has been not only greatly increased
deliveries to the co-op, but a stabil
izing influence on the market, which
had become so low in a few places
that' buyers had actuallj r ceased bid
ding for peanuts.
When peanuts first began to reach
the market in September the price
was around $l2O to $l3O a ton, but
government reports
cent increase in production caused a
heavy slump. This slump continued
until it became apparent that the
peanut association was going to
handle a large volume of the crop./
It was generally known in trade cir
cles that the association would not
dump this enormous volume on an
already sagging market; that the as
sociation would sell its large share
of the crop in an orderly manner,
just as the needs of the consuming
trade demanded. One of the largest
peanut brokers in the world, Chi
cago house of wide reputation, in its
last circular to the trade, declared
that the renewed strength of the
market was due to the heavy deliver
ies the Georgia Peanut association
was receiving from its members.
So heavy have been the deliveries
to the Peanut association that it has
required around $35,000 a day to
make first payments to the mem
bers. Funds for this purpose have
been secured by the association from
the Federal Intermediate Credit
bank, at Columbia, S. C-, and from
other sources of cheap credit. Pea
nuts already received by the associa
tion are already far in excess of the
volume on the corresponding date of
last year, and the excess is growing
larger each week, officials of the as
sociation declare. Not onlj' old
members are delivering, but many
peanuts are coming from new mem
bers who voluntarily and without
urging signed contracts, some of
them telephoning from distant points
for copies of the contracts to sign.
These heavy deliveries have come
altogether from south Georgia,
which has not yet nearly completed
its deliveries. The middle Georgia
delivery season is expected to open
in volume within a week or two.

Upset in Pennsylvania
All six of the seats in the house
held by Democrats from Pennsyl

Republicans. This constiuted the
biggest individual state upset in the
congressional elections up to early
today.
Four of the six seats the Demo

have been returned to the Republic
ans.
Only two New England states —
Massachusetts and Rhode Island —|
will have Democratic representatives
in the next house as compared with |
four at present. The Democrats lost I
one seat, each in Connecticut
New Flampshire, hut retained their
one in Rhode Island and their three

after a further fight in the courts,

for governor in tuat state, too, to !

Democratic nominee, whose husband ■
was governor untir nis death a lew
months ago.
Thirty-four states in all elected |
governors yesterday, but in some of I
them the returns remained too in
complete today to indicate a defi
nite result. First reports indicated
that George W. P. Hunt, the grand
old Democrat of Arizona, seeking
his fifth term as chief executive
of his state, was trailing behind the
nominee of the Republicans.
Independents to “Carry On”
The stage at which the collection
of returns stood today would not per
mit of analysis of the vote with any
degree of certitude, but it was ap
parent on the surface that unless
Coolidge receiveij a very great num
ber of Democratic votes in doubtful
states, the strength of La Follette
must have been taken very largely
from the Democrats. To what de
gree his campaign, managers suc
ceeded in -their effort to keep in
line the labor vote will never be
known, but the La Follette, leaders
appeared to see some evidence that
their work had not been in vain.
They announced that their organiza
tion would be kept intact to carry
on in 1926 and 1928, the objects thej r
sought this year at the polls.
As for Mr. La Follette, himself,
he said he had no statement to
make, but might • have one when
returns were complete.
John AV-. Davis likewise went to
bed last night without public com
ment on the showing of his partj'
or the possible consequences.
President Coolidge, receiving the
returns at the White House, stayed
up until after midnight, sent a con
gratulatory message to his cam
paign field marshal, Republican
Chairman Butler, and retired with
the remark that he had expected it
all along. Yesterday, while the vot
ing was in progress, he told those
i about him that he would look for
no less than 350 electoral votes.
