Y., Nov. 12. t/P)—Presi- i dent-elect Roosevelt, suffering from a • void, was “much improved,” his start' at the executive mansion said today, Although he had thrown oft the worst effects of the cold he contracted in the closing, arduous days of the j presidential campaign, Mrs. Roosevelt prevailed upon him to remain in bed for the second day. Vistors at the mansion were asked i to put off their engagements with Mr. Roosevelt to allow him a complete i rest over the week-end. terday The slight had disappeared temperature today. he had yes- Mr. j Roosevelt was attended yesterday by : the Roosevelt physician in Albany, I Dr. L. W. Gorman. The doctor had ! not called at the mansion during the : morning today'. Mr. Roosevelt hoped to he able to continue today, with his secretary at I his bedside, some of the correspond- I ! ence he dictated yesterday when he was not sloping or resting. He spent j part of the day reading more of the congratulartory messages that have ) been pouring in since his election. To j some of these he dictated replies. j The governor thought until y'ester- i day that he had shaken off the cold, ! contracted during the last day of his campaign when he rode bareheaded ! in an open car during a rain. He had : planned Hyde Park to spend residence, this week-end but cancelled at his j j the trip. : j At the end of his swing through some of the* southern states shortly before election, he lost his voice for a few hours after making speeches from an observation platform on a rainy day in North Carolina and Vir¬ ginia, but he quickly recovered. When the governor returns to his desk he plans to proceed with prep¬ aration of the state budget, and after about a week to leave for Warm Springs to remain there until early in December. LAUDS 0E j i j j ] j j VETERAN OF NATIONAL CAM¬ PAIGNS SAYS PARTY HAS ITS GREATEST OPPORTUNITY Buffalo, N. Y„ Nov. 12. f/P)—Nor¬ man E. Mack, veteran of a dozen na¬ tional political campaigns, believes “if the Democratic party will do for the nation what it has done for New York state, long, it will longer, be in than power it has nationally been in j as or control in Albany.” New York state has had Demo¬ cratic governors for the past 10 years and her next governor will be a Dem¬ ocrat. Mack, a former Democratic national chairman, feels that Governor Roose¬ velt as president will give the nation a program such as that which he says gave New' York Democracy its suc¬ cesses. He said last night Mr. Roose¬ velt “will have the benefit of the brightest minds from every walk of life to aid him.” nt said m part: j “The success of the Democratic par- j ty at the polls on November 8 was by '■ all intents and purposes the voice of j the people mostly of all political faiths and it left no doubt that they wanted expect the a change Democrats and to in lead good us faith out j • of the depression at the earliest pos- • sible time. ! “Already the people in general feel j the effect of the promised change and ; where there was fear before the elec-; tion, it shows now replaced with the 1 smiles of hope because of the elec -1 tion of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the | knowledge that he will have the ben- j efit of the brightest minds from every i walk of life to aid him. “The people should take heart and begin to applaud the success of the 1 new deal, and those who have money j hoarded should start to use it and , give their best efforts to the senate ! and congress in their advocacy to re- ; duce the expenditure of the govern- j ment by reducting the many overlap ping bureaus and to refuse to appro- j priate any more money to the useless prohibition enforcement agency that has east a blight over all the land.” -----.

CHESTER Associated Press Staff Writer With President Hoover En Route Washington at Glendale, Cal., Nov. 12. (,/P) —President Hoover broke his return journey to the White House lo¬ day with a speech here pledging co¬ operation to continue economic recov ery. Speaking from the rear platform of his train, the executive said: “ ‘If If we are to continue tho the recovery so evidently in progress during the past few months by overcoming the many difficulties which still confront us, we must have continued unity in constructive action all along the econ¬ omic front, “I shall work for that unity during the remaining four months of this ad¬ ministration. Furthermore, it is our duty after the fourth of March to co¬ operate with our opponents in every sound measure for the restoration of prosperity.” Mr. Hoover declared he was return ing early to Washington from his home in Palo Alto, Cal., “in special concern that the measures and instru mentalities which we have in motion on an entirely non-partisan basis shall continue to function vigorously and contribute their utmost.” < In the crowd at the train was a group of friends in southern Califor¬ nia who had asked the opportunity to greet him. After the speech, the president and Mrs. Hoover drove to the new home of their son, Herbert Hoover, Jr., at Sierra Madre. Mrs. Hoover had ex¬ pressed a desire to see the newly built home. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Hoover, Jr., and their three small children rode from Palo Alto on the special train. Allan Hoover, the President’s young¬ er son, also left the train here to re¬ turn to his work in Los Angeles. Republicans should not be discour¬ aged by defeat, the president said, but “should at once strengthen all forms of national, state, county and precinct organization for militant ac¬ tion.” The party “will return to power,” he said. Mr. Hoover extended his thanks to those “who have given so freely of their time and effort in this campaign a nd in supporting the principles for which we stand.” POST-ELECTION BOOM OF PRIC ES FEATURE ACTIVITIES DURING PAST WEEK By JOHN L. COOLEY Associated Press Financial Writer New York, Nov. 12. <7P)-.-After mo mentary pause, while results of the national poll were being digested, the stock market revived the old tradition of a post-election rally this week, thus carrying along a record of 36 years standing. It is axiomatic in Wall street that termination of a political campaign brings relief from some uncertainties even if others are inevitably created through a change in administration. " Several ’ prominent ! ’ industrial ' ’ ' ' ’ fig- ~ ures stated that in their opinion end ing of pre-election uncertainty should help amalgamate gains made thus far, although some commentators, in (Continuec, on Page 5.) 10 HINDER WEI IN THEIR PLANS ! Brief Period in December Will ! Permit Drys to Block Any Attenipt to « Pass Beer Measures DIFFICULTIES FACE ANTIS IN CONGRESS Beer Possibiliies Forming Prime Topic of Political Conversa* tion in All Sections of Na= tion. Washington, Nov. 12. (/Pi—While enthusiasts in and out of congres,. are interpreting the immense Democratic vote as forecasting beer by' Christ¬ mas, some sponsors of the Volstead act modification join their opponents in conceding that grave difficulties lie in the wav The r '" primary one, recognized by drys, wets and everybody in between, is that the session of congress which next month is so short as to make it possible for even a handful of members to block anything they ‘ pose. This lias not kept beer possibilties from forming a prime topic of ical conversations. In vapid sucres •sion have come expressions from such as Senators Borah (R., Idaho). Reed (R., I'a.), Byrnes (D., S. C.), son (D., Ark.), Bingham (R., Conn.) and Representative McDuffie of Ala¬ bama, Democratic whip of the house. Representative Oliver (D„ Ala.), told newspapermen today he felt it the “duty of every Democrat to -earry out the party’s platform and pledges” on prohibition as well as other things. The Alabama Democrat said he had “resented the slur made by President Hoover in his St. Louis speech that we southern Democrats would not carry out our party’s platform.” Oliver said it was his purpose to “cooperate fully with the president a ad vice president-elect in carrying out the platform” and modification planks. The Alabaman is chairman of the house appropriations sub-committee which shapes the bill for the state, commerce, labor and justice depart¬ ments, which includes the prohibition unit. Their statements have all but ob¬ scured from the continual sifting in of election returns that have pushed Franklin D. Roosevelt’s popular vote above 21,000,000, for a plurality of more than 6,000,000 over President Hoover. Norman Thomas, Socialist, topped other minor candidates easily with over 500,000 votes in the half of the nation’s precincts reporting. The thoroughness of the Democrat¬ ic sweep has meant: A record Demo¬ cratic margin of over 200 in the next house; a senate majority that prob¬ ably will last until 1939; a still-doubt¬ ful short-term senate with the decis¬ ion resting on the close Colorado con¬ test between Karl C. Schuyler, Repub can, and Walter Walker, Democrat, and the vote of Senator Shipstead, Minnesota Farmer-Laborite. With the exception of Borah, the congressional leaders named have voiced the opinion that beer legisla¬ tion should be considered and enacted at the December session. Borah’s comment that he does not expect beei to prove an exception to the general rule that eontroversal questions arc not disposed of in short sessions was concurred in not only by dry organi zation leaders but even by a few 1 anti prohibition chiefs. Binkhain said “the only way drys can defeat her legislation at the short session is by filibuster” and added that he was informed Borah would not use these tactics. But even without them, it was recognized on both sides that the time left to the dying con¬ gress will be crowded with annual appropriaion bills, economy efforts and other essential legislation. WOMAN IS ELECTED STATE’S ATTORNEY Trenton, Mo., Nov. 12. (/P)—A former country school teacher is the first woman to be elected a prosecut¬ ing attorney in Missouri. Miss Agnes Mae Wilson of Tren¬ ton, a slender, attractive young wo¬ man, bucked the tide of Democratic tfotes last Tuesday and won as the Re publican nominee in Grundy county, She ran on a “bone dry” platform, with the main plank pledging strict law enforcement. Formerly a school teacher at Or rick, Mo., Miss Wilson studied law and began practicing with a Trenton law firm in 1928. Later she served as assistant prosecuting attorney and then established her own office, in the same rooms formerly occupied by Ar thur M. Hyde, secretary of ture. ------------ FOUR TON SAFE STOLEN j Decatur, Ark. ,Nov. 12. l/P)—A four ton safe literally was “lifted” from j the today Bank by of six Decatur who just before dawn | men used a winch s equipped truck.

CP)—Ray¬ mond Dyson, Fnirhope contractor, today told a jury trying him on charg¬ es of mudering H. M. Butler, Jr., Mo¬ bile society leader, that knowledge of the illicit relations between his wife and the slain man “drove me to dis¬ traction.

In clear tones Dvson told the jury of hearing ~ gossip 1 concerning *’ his wife and Butler when he returned from college in 1930, and later how he con¬ fronted her with it and she admitted indiscretions. Dyson described the storms that came after these admissions, tracing his troubles through to the night of August 22, when the state charges he lured Butler to a hotel room iti which he and his brother Sam, had register¬ ed under an assumed name. “We made numerous attempts to patch things up,” Dyson told the jury, but added that knowledge of his wife’s infidelity drove him to distrac¬ tion,'and finally into the meeting with Butler in which the real estate man was slain. “Our home life had been happy un¬ til then,” he said with reference to the admission of Mrs Dyson that, she had been intimate with Butler. ! ; i j ATTEMPT TO STEAL j EFFORTS \ M ADE Vvivr TO BREAK vi INTO M vi ' w 11 v< i- ’’ tovu IONSOI m,' evp EM LOSIV nAvr.s LB Atlanta, Nov. 12.

Ragan said numerous complaints had been filed with him on elections in both states, particularly about Phil¬ adelphia. Apparently, he said, con¬ siderable evidence attempting to show that votes wore purchased in Philadel¬ phia and Delaware also would be soiled at the hearings. Representative Black (1)., N. Y.) headed a group of investigators who gathered the evidence, Ragan said. One investigator for the committee, the Arkansan added, had him that negroes in Delaware were paid a dollar each for their votes and that an investigator had been com ladled to close the polls at once at one place because of apparent irregulari¬ ties. Investigators were sent into I he two states before election day after tho committee had been warned of possible irregularities.
