CITY BOND ISSUE
PASSED AT POLLS
Early Returns Indicate Proposal
Carried in All Wards.
Ann Arbor's $350,000 bond pro-
posal, which has been defeated by
city voters in three previous elec-
tions, passed the required 60 per
cent of the total vote in Tuesday's
elections when approximately 4,-
000 voters gave written assent to
the plan for the new sewer system.
Returns early in the evening indi-
cated that the bond had been pass-
ed when every ward carried a ma-
jority of "yes" votes over "no" bal-
lots.
The bonding proposal received a
majority even in the stormy Third,
ward, where it was beaten at the
last election, held in April. The
First ward gave the bond the great-
est percentage of majority when
413 out of 559 voters marked an X

MORROW PILES UP LEAD
Gain of 39 Seats in House and

Democratic Party.
(By Associated Press)
Knifing deep into Republican
strength indeast, west and. south,
the Democratic party recorded yes-
terday a notable string of state
victories and threatened seriously
to capture Congress.
The count of the ballots early
today, still far from complete,
showed enough Democrats either
elected or leading for Senate and
House to shave the Republican
margin almost to the vanishing
point.
Needing a net gain of 10 seats
in the Senate and 53 in the House,
the Democrats at 1 a. m: (eastern
time) were leading in enough to
indicate for them a gain of seven
senators and 39 representatives. In
addition, the vote in 16 House dis-
tricts continued so close that they
might swing either way.
Kentucky not Considered.
These computations took no ac-
count of Kentucky where the
Democrats have hope to pick u
a senatorship and several seats in
the House. Kentucky returns will
not be counted until today.
The congressional turn toward
possible Democratic victory became
apparent late in the evening,
mostly on returns from western
and middle-western states, after
New York had turned in a record-
shattering Democratic state major-
ity, and the Connecticut and Ohio
governorship had shown signs also
of passing from the Republican to
the Democratic column.
T h e Empire State governor,

Pinchot Maintains Lead.
Gifford Pinchot, meantime, con-
istently was holding a lead for
overnor of Pennsylvania, despite
lissension which greatly cut theI
ormal Republican vote. A. good
)ortion of the state was yet to be
weard from.

ACCLAIM VICTORY.
(By Associated Press)
DETROIT, Nov. 4.--Bya majority that may reach more than
Ioo,ooo Wilbur M. Brucker, Republican candidate, was elected in
Tuesday's state-wide election. He defeated William A. Comstock,
Democrat.
Brucker took the lead when the first out-state precincts re j
ported, and tenaciously built it up at a steady ratio of about three
votes for every one cast for Comstock. The latter conceded defeat
when Brucker's out-state lead had grown to more than 6o,ooo and
first reports from Wayne county showed the Republican aspirants
running ahead.
The fight was close in sevq'ral counties, including Saginaw,
Brucker's home. Although defeated, Comstock ran far ahead of
the Democratic ticket and gained the satisfaction of securing much
more than the support normally acorded his party's candidate.
Comstock, evidently little per-
