Nebraska, 38 Other
States in General’s
Column in Upset
After 20 years of of humiliation
at the polls in presidential ballot
ing, tne resurgent republicans
swept the nation Tuesday in spec
tacular fashion.
With Gen. Dwight D. Eisen
hower, the once-upon-a-time hick
kid from the provincial midwest
ern town of Abilene, Kans., lead
ing the parade, the GOP's wero
returned to power by an elector
ate registering discontent with tha
new deal, fair deal and Truman
ism. Vote-counting is expected
to mount to the 60-million mark
—an all-time record.
Nebraska, a traditional repub
lican stronghold considered to be
in the GOP camp from the outset,
gave ike a 2 Yi-to-1 margin over
his opponent, Illinois Gov. Adlai
Stevenson.
The nation gave the former Eu- .
ropean war leader a 6-million
popular vote margin. Thirty-nine
states including Virginia, Okla
homa, Florida and other demo
cratic strongholds, aligned behind
the general. By 9 o’clock Tues
day evening the die was cast.
When Virginia and Now York
were conceded by the demos to
the Ike forces, it was apparent the
20-year aemo reign had sputtered
to a close.
In Holt county a near-record
turnout of voters took advantage
ot Indian summer weather to
trek to the polls.
There were 6,731 votes cast in
the county, 1,253 under the all
time high mark of 7,984 recorded
in 1940. However, in O’Neill, 1,
345 votes were cast—a new rec
ord. O’Neill gave Eisenhower 982
votes, Stevenson 363.
i Republicans Clinch
215 Seals —
By late Wednesday, 131,498 of
the nation’s 146,361 voting units
had given Ike a popular vote of
31,024,749 compared to 24,948,441
for Stevenson. This figures a 85.4
percentage for Ike out of nearly
56 million ballots. *
The republicans clinched 21&
seats in congress compared to 201^
for the democrats. The GOP
needs 21U to gain control, Races
in several states were not yet de
termined by 6 p.m. Wednesday.
Stevenson lost his own state of
Illinois and saw the solid South
democratic block split wide open.
Even if the party couldn’t keep
:Pace with the wide grinning Ike,
the republicans made some no
1 table gains in both the senate and
the house. But it was apparent
the voters throughout the land
