which swept. Illinois as well as ihe
natjon Arthur W- Mitchell defeated
former Congressman Oscar De
Pi Jest, Repubican by a vote of 35,
330 to 28,182.
Athough DePriest waged a
strong campaign he was unable to
withstand the welter of straight
Democratic votes It was not until
1:30 a- m. Wednesday that DePriest
conceded his defeat to the Demo
crat.
Viuw" i
With his head bowed and accom
panied by his son, O Stanton De
Priest, the former Congressman left
his campaign headquarters and told
his campaign manager, Fred Morris
to take charge. At that time there
were still six precincts missing.
Pm still a good loser,” he said
“I had expected such an outcome
along wjth a Democratic landslide ”
DePrJest blamed political leaders of
the Second ward for his defeat. He
sajd they had failed to cooperate.
Jubilant after returns showed him
victorious Congressman M jtchell
left his campaign headquarters at
3 a m in company with hjs secre
tary, Claud Holman.
“I am going to carry on for Roose
velt and his program,” he sajd- “I
am going back to Congress to make
history.”
Congressman Mitchell piled up a
record vote in the First ward and a
fairly good vote in the Second
ward. Incidently, Congressman
Mitchell js the only member of the
ra^e to win a seat in Congress in
this natjon-wde Democratic land
slide
When the smoke of battle had
cleared away, the trench fighters of
the Republican party gathered up
their wounded and dead and re
paired to political seclusion to take
stock with their fortunes and fail

the City Council to annex it to the
city of Omaha.
