landslide is the possible political
eclipse of James A. Farley, New

heat down presidential opposi

Dewey said during the recent
campaign that he would serve
four years if elected. He said
that tie would have to let the
people judge after four years
whether tie had been a good gov
ernor.
"Four years'.’" Some one asked.
“That is what I said.” Dewey re
plied.
The presidential candidate in
both Republican and Democratic
parties will ,be nominated in two
years.
The term of a New York gover
nor is four years.
Bennett conceded his defeat
by Dewey. Republican rival and

“I wish you a most successful
administration.”

Results Arc Summarized
AH in all, the election n-lifts
-haped up tliis way:
j The Democrats were tunic 1
j out of office ;ti six p'votal states.
' The Republicans won 15 sen
atorial scats to the Democrat - 14
i with five still in doubt.
1 This is a gain of eight for the
Democrats In the five doubtful
j.-notorial rate.-, the Republican.
j are leading in two.
The old Senate linue-p was 65
Democrats. 29 Republicans, one
Progressive and one Indcpend
' lit.
The Democrats won 203 House
seats, the Republicans 199, the I
Progress ves 2, and the American
Lab'r party 1 Thirty-eight seats
are still in doubt. Il the Repub
licans should capture 19 of thc.-c,
they will have 218, a majority
of the House.
The .present House division is
264 Democrats. 166 Ri publicans,
3 Progressives, I Farmer Labor,
and 1 American Labor.
While t!ie Republican adminis
ration may obtain a working ma
jority in both the Uupper and '
Lower Houses. Nevertheless, the
definite Republican trend in tin
elections is expected by impar-,
tial political observers to have a
profund effect on the policies in
Washington, both as to the war
effort and the home front

Admiral Dalian. Fmirli Commander is F. S. Prisoner
LONDON. Nov ID (.Pi — An American column
was reported advancing toward Libya, the first U. S.
thrust directly aimed at expelling the Axis from Af
rica. as the preliminary occupation of French North
Africa rolled swift \ to completion over Vichy’s shat
tered and disorgan defenses. Aged Marshal Petain
himself shouldered the burden of commanding the
French, forces', replacmg Admiral Darlan, now a pri
soner of the American-.
The Germans reported to have sent Field Mar
shal Erwin von YVit/ieben to North Africa to direct
the Vichy forces in ‘he held.
Or m, the eh F.. . eh North African port :n the
' Mediterranean was entered by L. S. tank crew.;, but
the c 'v was apparently .-t.il not fully stibjug ited when
the Aiiii-rlian colt .m struck out for the iv\‘ bigger
' goal.
An < xpt ditio; Vichy broadcast said, of Ameri
can for. e is adva -my t ward Bou Saada. 120 miles
southeast of Algic In ( direct line toward the Lib
yan desert, indicat . • a p.oMbie attack, over the inland
de.a rt, on ’Tripoli, capital of Italian Libya and the rear
of Rommel’s scurrying Axis army.
One r. port, unconfirmed, said that American van
guards pierced the b . der ot Tunisia but a Vichy broad
cast indicated a plan lo try to by-pass it. Vichv said
! its forces in the dj, ert arc preparing to re ist a thrusl
toward the interior, as a report that Wht/.Teben arrived
in Ni Mb Africa, came from Russian sources.
Amid gathering signs of disintegration of the
Vichy command, with Admiral Darlan a captive, and
French leadership in Algeria in the east, and Morocco
in the west, without a unifying commander, Pierre
Laval is reported to have hurried to Rome to take
stock with Mussolini of the peril with which the Axis
suddenly finds itself confronted by the Allied threat
from the south.
Thus. Fi<ruh North Africa tottered under the
armor-tippejf blows of a P. S. expeditionary force strik
ing with might and speed so rap'd that the campaign's
progres,-, uutsi tapped the expedition's communication
system's ability to jeport it. An Allied headquarters
-pi krsm n he . however, declared that the whole op
eration is reeling off with smooth precision. There arc
-till hut slight V. S. casualties.
