CLEAN SWEEPI IN A N AP l Local Balloting Unusually Large; Twice Defeated Sewer Bond Approved. TUOMY WINS CLOSE RACE Reapportionment and Cigarette Amendments Rejected, Other Three Are Accepted. One of the heaviest elections in recent years Tuesday saw Republi- can candidates sweep to victory, putting into office every candidate that had been nominated on coun- ty, state, and congressional tickets. More than 16,000 electors cast bal-I lots in the 35 prec'ihcts of Wash- tenaw county, it was said yesterday, with the victorious candidates being elected to office by large majorities over their Democratic opponents. Vote Big in Ann Arbor. in Ann Arbor, the vote was un- usually heavy, 6,259 casting votes. The major issue, the proposed $350,- 000 sewer bond issue, defeated on two previous occasions, was ap- proved by almost a 70 per cent ma- jority, 4,264 voting for the meas- ure and 1,995 against. Pluralities of more than 4,000 were given Albert J. Rapp, seek- ing the prosecutor's office, and Jac- ob B. Andres, candidate for sheriff. Andres received 9,831 ballots as against 5,746 for his Democratic op- ponent; Daniel B. Sutton, while Rapp, with 10,203 votes, overwhelm- ed Robert H. Cavanaugh, who re- ceived 5,441 votes.

WETS EMERGE AT TOP (By Associated Press) DETROIT, Nov. 5.-The Republi- can party of Michigan had emerg- ed today from its most severe test in nearly 14 years, with a victory remarkably decisive in view of a nation-wide drift that toppled the standard-bearers of their party in other states. Never since the day of Wood- ridge N. Ferris has the head of the Republican state ticket been sub- jected to so severe an attack. Wilber M. Bruckr, the Republi- can governor-elect, was the target for a mass assault which was aided by national conditions. William A. Comstock, his Democratic oppon- ent, stood upon a platform of pro- hibition reform, in a year when two ultra-dry Michigan congressmen were defeated by wets. Brucker won the governorship by a major- ity of slightly more than 100,000. The last time so small a lead xaas accorded a Republican gubernator- ial candidate was in 1916, when Former Governor Alber E. Sleeper 5,000 Undergraduates Will Gather at 4 o'clock in Front of Angell Hall to Fete Michigan Gridmen. "On to Harvard and Victory" will be the war-cry of some 5,ooo Michigan students at 4 o'clock this afternoon when they assemble in front of Angell hall to do honor to their unbeaten football team as it leaves for the widely heralded invasion of Cambridge. The determined Michigan spirit--that the Maize and Blue must triumph over the Crimson-has been fast gamin weight during the past week. Today it will be expressed through famous Michigan songs and yells in a historic fashion. The fighting Wolverines will be cheered on to victory at an outdoor pep- meeting, a parade up State street, and a send-of- at the Michigan Central depot--in all, a demonstration of support unprecedented in several college generations. Saturday, Michigan will be the standard bearers for the West in an intersectional clash that will hold the sporting limelight of the day. The Wolverine's opponents will be no '"gentle sons of Harvard" but a gang of battling Irishmen. Mich- igan will have to give its utmost to win. Today, the student body can play their part in setting what the Grand Old Man of footbali--"Hurry-Up" Yost-calls "the vast background to victory" by endowing the Maize and Bke gridders with the real Michigan spirit--that spirit that vins. EXPECT RECORD-BREAKING CROWD. A record-breaking crowd indicated from the preparations made for the dernonstration. It has been schedul d for a time that will interfere with few classes and othcr activities. Rain, shine, or snow, the send-off will be held. In case the weather is too bad for the outdoor rally, Hill auditesium will be utilized. The Varsity squad of 36 re: will as i - from their last pre-Harvard practice in Ann Arbor at about 4:15 in two open trucks which will be driven up and parked in front of Angell hall so that the crowd may have an uninterrupted view of the gridders. State street will be blocked off from Williams to Jefferson streets and given over to the enthusiastic rooters, Pathe and M., G. M. sound-news cameramen will record the sight and sound of the revival of Michigan spirit. RUTHVEN WILL SPEAK TO CROWD. Pres. Alexander G. Ruthven, Coach Harry Kipke and Capt. "Ducky" Simrall will address the crowd from the large stone blocks at each end of the Angell hall steps. Every effort is being made to have loud speakers installed on campus so the crowd may hear the speeches without difficulty. Twenty minutes before train time the trucks bearing the squad will move off toward the Michigan Central station, lead by a police escort and the band, with the students forming a parade in, the rear. At the depot cheerleaders will help the rooters stage a final demonstration and the band will play one last selection before following the gridders into the train. intendent of the Columbia Cement tory was charted. 9,101 to 6,453. won with a margi i 4 Co., division of the Pittsburgh Glass Frank H.
