publican landslide that cracked
the “Solid South" and breached
Democratic defenses across the

ried Republicans to control of the
House, but the senate outcome was

toral college division: Eisenhower
491; Stevenson 100.

ocrats, 190 were elected and 23
others were leading for nn indicat-
ed tout of 213. One independent
waa elected.
Senate results showed 20 Repub-
licans elected and three others
leading. Adding these to the 25 Re-
publican holdover Senate**, gave
the GOP an indicated S e n at e
membership of 48, one short of a
bare majority, a j
Seventeen Republican candi-
dates tor governor swept into- of-
fice on the GOP victory wave, un-
seating Democrats in three states.

Mans Barbecue,
Dane* Nov. 11
Plans for a big, free barbecue
and dance on November 11 were
made at a special called meeting
of the American Legion Monday
night.
The meeting also marked the
celebration of the burning of a
note of indebteness on the Legion
Hut. The note was in the amount
of $14,000.
Committee chairmen appointed
to work on the barbecue were pub-
licity committee, Cleo Marlowe;
music committee: Commander Nell
Burney; barbecue committee: Mel-
vin Pate and Ed Lawrence. It is
hoped that Cowboy Hogue and His
Orchestra will provide the music.
The American Legion Auxiliary
has been asked to decorate the Hut
for the event. The barbecue will
start at 7 and the dance wilt begin
at 9 p.m. The occasion will honor
all Legionnaires, veterans and
their wives. Some 200 people are
expected to attend. •
Fir* Partially Destroy*
Russall Ritch Horn*
The home of Russell Ritch in
nn Camp was partially destroyed
by fire about 8 a.m. today. The
blaze was thought to have started
in the kitchen. Two rooms were
damaged heavily.
The Gladewater fire department
extinguished the blaze soon after
arriving.
Yesterday’s election was a great
personal victory for cx-gencral,
Eisenhower.
For the first Mmc since 1028
when many southerners refused to
support A1 Smith, a Republican
candidate breached the so called
Solid South. This time people were
voting for a man not a party.
Many of us feel a relict, a re-
lease. I say many, but actually 1
feel all of us are glad this is over
and Just hope and pray that Eisen-
hower and the men and women
who work with hjnvwtll be able to
give this country and the world the
peace and security for which this
country was established.
Let’s forget politics and work
seriously together to bring about
the chgpges we know are neces-
sary. .
Even the nice rain we are having
this morning seems to be the amen
to the okietjon.

Promised What Waa Wanted
As sized up hy the Washington
staff of United Prea* it is as sim-
ple as this: Eisenhower promised,
and seemed able to deliver, a lot
of the things Americans want-
peace, continued prosperity, low-
er taxes, and and to inflation.
Ike also said he would run the

So the armies of small fry that
cheered Ike’s rear platform ap-
pearances—heckled Stevenson’s —
meant something, after all.
It was true they couldn’t vote.
But their ear-anlitting “I like Ike’’
was the tip-off on the general’s
fame and appeal.

His opponent held one card that
used to be considered unbeatable.
It was that most people are pros-

ft for all it was worth.
Stevenson ran on the 20-year-
record of the four previous Demo-
cratic administrations. He prom-
ised more of the same, with im-
provement*.
The Democratic theory was that
Americans don’t vote against a
