Smith. Smith was elected governor in 1922 over Nathan Miller, Republican incumbent, by a plurality of 385,- 000 votes and some of the most sanguine Democrats predicted today that Roosevelt might match that victory. But not even the most hopeful Democrat foresaw for Roos- evelt the smashing success, upstate and down,, which was his as the votes were counted tonight.

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 i a wn -n. rm nor"v . E SMAE SERIOUSINROADS IN 6. 0. P. STATES Republican Majority in Senate and House Approaches the Vanishing Point. MORROW PILES UP LEAD Gain of 39 Seats in House and 10 in Senate Granted 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.

Gifford Pinchot, meantime, con- istently was holding a lead for overnor of Pennsylvania, despite lissension which greatly cut theI ormal Republican vote.

"Plainly a raw, a wet and char- icteristically Democratic day," said 3nator George H.

(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.
