HOOVER ROLLS UP HISTORY
BREAKING RECORD ELEC
TORAL VOTES
NEW YORK, Nov.. 7, (&)—(By
Byron Price, special Associated
Press Staff writer.) The Republi
cans were sweeping from coast to
coast enveloping the Border Stairs
and driving a wedge into the solid
South and still was piling up ma
jorities for Hoover today as retun s
told, in expending details, the story
i i yesterday’s election.
As the figures stood this morning
with many votes still to be counted,
about four-fifths of the States, car
rying nearly the same proportion ■ f
electoral college votes, had either
topplen into the Republican col
umn or were showing substantial
evidence of doing so.
ALL OF HIS
-calculations of victory were crushed
under the vaalanche and Smith
conceded the election to his op
uonent long before the compilation
ei the record breaking vote as 't
neared completion.
His own State of New York, the
cornerstone of his hopes, turned
■against him; it had given its great!
block of 45 electoral votes to Hoo
ver.
AT LEAST TWO SOUTHERN
States, Virginia and Florida, were
showing substantial evidence of go
ing Republican the first time since
the Civil War, while in Texas and
North Carolina as well, the count
hovered at the danger line nor was
there any evidence in the returns
which piled in overnight that Lne
Democratic crusade into the farm
country would net Smith a single
electoral vote.
ON THE CONTRARY
from the Alleghenies to the Rock
ies farm States were reporting
hourly increasing majorities for
Hoover and Curtis. Even in Wis
consin, where much dependence
had been placed in coalition of
Democrats and La Follette, the Re
pubicans swung decisively away
from the Democratic column after
riving Smith the edge on early re
turns.
Only in Massachusetts and
Rhode Island, outside of the South,
did the balance show signs of tilt
ing in Smith’s favor as the totals
mounted throughout the night and
even if both of these two New Eng
land States were to wind up with
Democratic majorities and Smith
held only the Southern States in
which he established substantial
leads; Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississ
ippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South
Carolina.
HOOVERS ELECTORAL
college vote is 444 out of a* total of
531. No such high water mark has
ever been reached in any previous
Presidential election even in 1912
when the Republican strength was
split between Taft, Roosevelt and
Wilson and had only 435; Harding
had 404 and Coolidge 382 four years
ago.
The measure in which the result
of Presidential balloting would be
Continued on Pago Four.)
