SAMPSON LEADING
' IN KENTUCKY RACE
(Opponent of Pari-Mutuel Bet
ting Losing—Democrats
Charge Gross Frauds.
P.r the Associated Press.
LOUISVILLE, November 9.—Judge
Fiem I). Sampson, Republican
nominee for governor, had a majority
of 9,400 votes over his Democratic !
opponent. J. C. W. Beckham, on the
face of incomplete unofficial returns
from 117 of the 320 counties of Ken
tucky. The vote, with most of the
counties complete, was: Sampson, 334,-
017: Beckham, 324.565. Beckham had
opposed the pari-mutuel system of
betting in Kentucky, while Sampson
contended it was not an issue.

Harrison, Republican, according to un
official figures. Democratic leaders
refused late last night to concede de
feat.
In a statement Thomas S. Rhea,
State chairman, claimed a Democratic
majority in the State and charged
that “the grossest frauds have been
perpetrated against the franchise.”
According to Associated Press tabu
lations, Judge Sampson greatly re
duced or turned the Democratic lead
•into Republican majorities in the fifth,
sixth, seventh and ninth districts, nor
mally Democratic. The sixth district j
dealt the Democratic candidate a j
terrific blow, normally Democratic by
4.000. It went Republican in the gov
ernor's race by 8.000. The vote in
the seventh district, which comprises
the Blue Grass section of the State, cut
the Democratic majority more than
10,000 below the normal party

VARE ORGANIZATION CAPTURES
ALL OFFICES IN PHILADELPHIA
Hampton Moore Apparently Takes Only
One of 48 Wards; James M. Beck
Is Sent to Congress.
By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, November 9
The Republican organization under
the leadership of Senator-elect Wil
liam S. Vare is still in the saddle In
Philadelphia. The entire organiza
tion ticket, headed by Harry A.
Mackey for mayor, was swept into
office by overwhelming pluralities.
Mackey’s unofficial majority over J.
Hampton Moore, Citizens’ party can
didate, was 165,062, the vote being:
Mackey, 291,489; Moore, 126,427.
Moore apparently carried only one
of the 48 wards'.
Vare Sees 1928 Index.
Senator-elect Vare said the heavy
Republican vote was a notice to the
country and that it would “give heart
and courage to Republicans every

MAYOR ROLPH WINS
IN SAN FRANCISCO
Gets Fifth Term of 4 Years.
Hetch Hetchy Power Bond
Issue Defeated.
By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, November 9.—-
Mayor James Rolph, jr., today emerged
victorious by a wide margin in the
citv and county election, defeating
James E. Power, his strongest oppo
nent, by a majority of some 30,000
votes on the face of complete unoffi
cial returns. This gives Rolph a fifth
term of four years. -
Rolph won a complete victory by
virtue of the defeat of Sheriff Tom
Finn, who had combined forces with
Power in the fight for the offices of
mayor and sheriff. Rolph’s fight swept
W. J. Fitzgerald, the mayor’s candi
date for sheriff, into office by about
20,000 majority, the returns showed.
Power resigned the San Francisco
postmastership to run for mayor and
boasted the support of the Republican
city organization in spite of the fact
that the race was non-partisan. Rolph,
a Republican, accepted the Indorse
ment of the city Democratic organi
zation.
Adolph Uhl, Independent, gathered
only 11.396 votes. The figures:
Rolph, 90,344; Power, 59,442.
For sheriff—Fitzgerald, 91,135; Finn,
65.976.
The returns indicated that only one
of the bond measures had been ap
proved by the necessary two-thirds
majority. That one provides for is
suance of $9,380,000 for construction
or completion of highway projects
within the city.
The proposed municipal railway ex
tension, to cost $4,600,000, and the s2,*
000,000 Hetch Hetchy power transmis
sion line project apparently were de
feated. ~

WET MAYOR LOSES
FIGHT IN DETROIT
Lodge, Who Never Made Po
litical Speech, Has Lead of
9,000 in Late Count.
By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, November 9.—John C.
Lodge, exponent of a political creed
that the office should seek the man,
today apparently had defeated Mayor
John W. Smith, champion of liberal
ity in enforcement of prohibition laws,
on the face of returns from all but
a few of the city’s precincts, fn yes
terday’s non-partisan jnayoralty elec
tion.
Returns from 606 precincts gave
Lodge 120,988 votes and Smith 108,800.
Never Made Speech.
Lodge, who during his 25 years in
local politicals has never made a polit
ical speech or Issued a written ap
peal, swept into the lead in a late
rush of returns from outlying dis
tricts, after trailing Smith in earlier
returns.
Smith sprung numerous surprises,
Invading wards previously hostile to
him. Smith came out flatly in oppo
sition to the liquor laws, and his atti
tude is believed to have had a bear
ing on the balloting. Many precincts
which had gone overwhelmingly in
the primary to Lodge, who led Smith
by 30,000 votes, reversed the order
yesterday.
Liquor Issue Fought.
Lodge’s supporters refused to ac
cept the liquor question injected by
Smith as an issue.
Among five amendments to the city
charter that were adopted was one
approving construction by a private
concern of a proposed vehicular tun
nel from Detroit to Windsor, Ontario.
A proposal that the county issue $2,-
000,000 in bonds for the site and con
struction of a publicly owned airport
also was approved.

peared as a defender for the seating
of Mr. Vare and Col. Frank L. Smith
of Illinois, both Senators-elect, and
both charged with excessive expendi
ture of money and corruption in their
campaigns.
Drys Receive Jolt.
In Ohio the Anti-Saloon League re
ceived a jolt when It was defeated
yesterday in a referendum on a bill
approved by the Legislature, which
would have put justices of the peace
on a fee basis with authority to try
violators of the prohibition laws. Ohio
has been so strongly dry in political
contests that the result yesterday has
given the wets courage. They are
claiming that there is no longer a dry
majority in Ohio. However, there is
a difference between the strength of
the Justices of the peace biU and the
dry sentiment in the State.
If the wets claim a victory in Ohio,
the drys may claim success yesterday
in Michigan’s wet spot, Detroit. There
the mayor, John W. Smith, an avow
ed wet, has been defeated apparently
by his dry opponent, John C. Lodge, a
granduncle of Lindbergh. The city
election in Detroit is called a non
partisan affair.
New Jersey Republicans retain con
trol of the State Legislature, which
may Indicate Democratic defeat in the
State next year, when Senator Ed
wards comes up for election. James
Rolph, Jr., San Francisco’s mayor, was
given another four-year term, his fifth,

defeated J. R. Taylor, Republican, by
a close vote.

campaign. Rev. J. R. Lodge, Meth
odist. preached for law and order, and
condemned vote trading.
The proposed amendment design
ed to enable Arlington County to
assess abutting property owners for
local public improvements met with
little interest outside of Arlington

the third would give widows and wives
of Confederate veterans the right to
vote without payment, of poll tax.
