DEMOCRATS CLAIM A VICTORY
Iarry Wurzbach is Again

From Texas

ALL OTHERS WIN
Democrats Go Into Office
By Big Majorities in
Every Area
DALLAS, Nov. 5.(U.R)—Apathetic
democrats today had virtually re-
tained a straight ticket in Texas ro-
tations except in the Fourteenth
Congressional District where Harry
M. Wurzbach, lone Republican Con-
gressman of Texas, had retained li is
seat over Henry II. Dielman. The
live amendments to the state con-
stitution were given heavy major-
ities.
• In the face of early returns Ross
S. fiterlig, democrat, was running
u five to one load over his republi-
can oponont, Col. William E. Tal-
bot. Unofficial returns from 14!
o ITexas’ 253 counties, three com-
plete, gave Sterling 93,1444 votes
nnd Talbot 19,645 votes.
Democrats were conceded seven-
teen Texas posts in the House ot
Representatives at Washington.
Morris Shepherd, democratic lead-
er in the senate, retained ids seat
as senator.
The democrats rode into office by
big majorities in all state races.
There was liltie concern shown in
the election as indicated by the
light balloting. The Texas Election
Bureau indicate.that about 390,000
votes were cast yesterday as ag-
ainst 860,000 in l lie second demo-
cratic primary in August.
In Hidalgo county, the focal po-
int of sectionalized voting, all rec-
ords for rating wore broken. The
Democrats were given a slight lead
in last night returns. The election
which climaxed a tumultuous poli-
tical battle passed rpiiefly under
supervision of Texas rangers.

Comes Close to Hoover
Few of tiie reverses in this elec-
ion have come as close to Mr.
Hoover as the Alien defeat. Just a
few minutes before Allen publicly
conceded defeat, his intimate
friend in the White House was ad-
vised of it hv long distance tele-
phone from Kansas.
At noon there was a strong
chance that if the Democrats did
not. actually win tho senate, it
would hang by one vote—giving
the only Farmer-Labor senator
Henrik Shipstead of Minnesota, the
its annual [decisive vote. Hitherto he has al-
ways voted with Republicans in
m .iters of permanent organization
of tin- senate. Democratic control
of the senate would overturn con-
trol of the powerful committees,
and because of the extreme lati-
tude of debate and procedure in
that body, their power in legisla-
tion, influence of foreign affaire,
and in the tremendous power of
c inflrming or rejecting presiden-
tial appointments it would be an
event, of vastly more consequence
than a change of control in the
weaker house.
