Election Day in Greenwood
The largest number of voters to ex-
ercise the right of franchise at the
polls here in many years, turned out
Tuesday to cast their ballots for the
candidates of their choice,- and while
the greater number seemed to favor
the democratic 'nominees from the
head of the ticket down, there were a
few republicans out. The crowd at the
polls was large and at times' a' line"
was waiting to 'enter the booth and
mark their ballots. One woman, Mrs.
Fritz, of between Greenwood and
Ashland, appeared and while she was
able to negotiate the flood about the
poling place, was assisted to the booth
by two ,of the judges and when she
got there was able to mark her own
ballot. Another woman well past the
meridian of life came in a car, and
was waited upon by a clerk and judge,
being able to vote while sitting in the
auto. However, all got to vote, not
withstanding the large number.

BYSTANDER SHOT TO DEATH
Buffalo. N. Y. Two men, one of
them a. bystander, were shot to death
in front of a barber shop during a
clash of rival gangs believed by po
lice to be battling for control of the
policy racket in Buffalo. The men
killed were: Anthony Bonvita, thir
ty-one, said to have been one of
several men engaged in the dispute,
and Charles Cutinello, twenty-seven,
reported to have been a bystander.
The double killing culminated a
heated quarrel among four men who
pulled up in front of the barber shop
in an expensive coupe and three men
who were standing outside the place
Two of the men engaged in fisticuffs
and one of these drew a pistol and
fired two shots. One bullet struck
Bonvifa. The other struck Cutinello.
Both victims died in Emergency hos
pital. The fight had attracted a
crowd of thirty or more persons. Af

ants made a hurried getaway.
Montana Pulls
Out of the Mud
to Solid Ground
$28,000,000 Spent on Highways
Hakes Good Roads in
Every Direction.
Spokane, Wash. Of importance to
tourist travel in the northwest is the
improved condition of Montana roads.
That Montana has pulled itself out
of the mud and now presents good
highways north and south, east and
west, was the substance of a report
made by Mr. O. S. Warden, chairman
of the Montana Highway Commis
sion, to the thirty-third annual con
vention of the Washington State
Good Roads association here.
Ten years ago Montana presented
a difficult problem for motorists, its
great territory and its comparatively
small population made road con
struction slow, tedious and costly.
But it has surmounted its innumer
able road problems and now presents
completed highways comparable to
those of other northwest states, Mr.
Warden said.
From 1927 to July 1, 1932, Mon
tana has completed 70 miles of pav
ing, 740 miles of oiled roads, 2060
miles of graveled surface highways
and has graded S50 miles of road
way. Twenty-eight million dollars in
government and state money have
been expended. Five hundred forty-
three bridges have been constructed
at a cost of $4,000,000.
Contracts amounting to $4,000,000
have been let this year to construct
758 miles. At the end of 1932 only
800 miles will remain to be improved,
aIU iui, iiii ucu. uc Biaic u iciuiio
6,000,000 under the present emerg
ency fund and xi,3UU,uuu in ior
estry contracts.
The result is a completed highway
across the northern part of the state
from the North Dakota line to Glacier
National Park, and across the south
ern part of the state except for a
small portion; also a completed high
way from Glacier to Yellowstone
park.
The technical hour brought out
some interesting facts about the cost
of travel to the motorist. Poor roads
and good roads, high pressure and
low pressure tires, different speeds
and rigid car tests over each type of
highway were cited. The effect of
shock absorbers on tire life, and the
reasons for "washboards" were ex
plained. Ratio of wear was shown as
follows: Pavement 100 per cent; ma
cadam 1700 per cent; rough ma
cadam 5600 per cent.

An Overturning
Country Over by
Tuesday Verdict
Republicans Find little To Salvage
from Political Wreck New
Faces Next Congress.
The revolution at the poll3 which
elevated Franklin D. Roosevelt to
the presidency and cut down repub
lican officeholders was emphasized
by late election tabulations. The fig
ures told the story of an electorate
so determined upon a change that it
braved almost every variety of weath
er to register the greatest popular
vote ever known, millions higher
than the outpouring drawn by the
intensity of the 1928 campaign.
President Hoover saw every state
west of the Alleghenies turn against
him. Only Pennsylvania, Connect!;
cut, Delaware, New Hampshire, Ver
mont and Maine kept the republican
faith.
Roosevelt's electoral vote reached
a new high figure of 474. Mr. Hoover
had 59. For election 266 were nec
essary. Hoover received 444 four
years ago. Michigan went demo
cratic. So did Iowa, birthplace of
Herbert Hoover: California, where
he lives; Kansas, home of Vice Pres
ident Curtis, and among others, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Minnesota.
That was only part of a country
wide political upheaval. The result
was substantially the same whether
one looked at the senate, the house,
gubernatorial races or even returns
affecting prohibition.
Political oldtimers blinked as they
tried to envision a senate without
such captains of the republican old
guard as Jim Watson of Indiana,
Reed Smoot of Utah, George Moses
of New Hampshire' and Hiram Bing
ham of Connecticut. All beaten by
democrats. Add to them another vet
eran, Senator Wesley Jones of Wash
ington. The eloquence of Senator
Borah in Idaho apparently failed to
save hi3 republican colleague, sen
ator John Thomas.
New Faces in the Senate.
The opposition of antiprohibition
organizations and of devoted follow
ers of Al Smith, combined with the
ordinary republican - opposition, did
not prevent William G. McAdoo from
winning easily in California.
There' were thirty-four senate seats
at issue. The democrats captured
twenty-five of these to give them
fifty-six seats in the seventy-third
congress. The republicans took five.
The others are still doubtful.
On the house side, already demo
cratic, the tale of republican dis
aster was repeated. The winners
have 218 seats there now. They are
certain of about 260 after next March
4, and 78 house races are still in
doubt.
The aggressive and independent
LaGuardia of New York sloes often
with house democrats, but the label,
republican, seemed too much for him
to overcome. A democrat will take
his place. Ruth Pratt of New York
lost to a democrat. Republican Floor
Leader Snell was re-elected, however,
from upstate New York.
The tabulations tell another sad
story in the gubernatorial races.
There were elections in thirty-four
states. The democrats won eighteen
of these and on the basis of vote3
compiled late in the day were lead
ing in eleven others. They displaced
eight republicans. Floyd B. Olson,
farmer-labor, was elected in Minne
sota.

An interesting program in the ob

by the Junior hiRh school in the

with the singing of "America" under
the direction of Miss Cora Williams,
followed by tne flag salute led by

Means to the Boys and Girls." Fol
lowing Mr. Capwell's address Ed Wes-
cott rendered several numbers on the
marimba accompanied by his father,
E. H. Wescott. The popular number
proved to be "The Stars and Stripes
Forever." The concluding part of
the program was the bugling of the
army calls by Roy Holly. He played
all the regular calls used by the
army and explained the significance
of each.
