When the Daily wer t to press Charles E. Potter, Republican con- testant for the full time senatorial seat, was leading Sen. Blair Moody, 337,579 to 285,542. The totals were based on returns from 956 of the states 4480 precincts. Also seeking to fill out the remainder of Sen. Vandenberg's cur- rent term as well as gain the full term, Moody was trailing Potter s * * 293,254 to 197,211 in 758 precincts GOP lakes County Posts;* Meader Wins A record number of Washtenaw County voters yesterday echoed national sentiments by granting a clean sweep of offices to the Re- publican party. Despite an early evening scare which had Rep. George Meader running behind Prof. John Dawson of the Law School, later returns, including the Jackson vote,rpushed him over the doubtful margin shortly after midnight. * * * WITH LESS than half of the precincts recorded, the twelfth dis- trict was supporting George N. Higgins for the State Senate by a seven to four ratio over Demo- cratic hopeful Leonard D. Bennett. Returns were similar in the second district, where Joseph E. Warner led Viola Blackenburg by seven to four, and in the first district, Lewis G. Christman had rolled up a substantial mar- gin over Henry T. Conlin. The Progressive votes for David R. Luce, a former University stu- dent who was opposing Dawson and Meader, and Prof. John Shep- ard of the psychology department were not counted until late this morning, but the vote was report- edly small. WITH MANY precincts still not recorded, due to particularly late returns from the townships, Gen. Eisenhower led Gov. Stevenson by a vote of 7,074 to 4,087. State candidates received a blanket endorsement. Washte- naw County residents support- ed Fred M. Alger, jr. for gover- nor, Clarence A. Reid for lieu- tenant governor and Ypsilanti's Owen J. Cleary for secretary of State. Millard, Brake and Martin also received Washtenaw County's stamp of approval. FOR THE U.S. Senate post, County residents preferred Rep. Charles E. Potter over Blair Moo- dy by approximately a 7-4 ratio. Although 25,000 votes had been tabulated by 4 a.m. today, harassed officials had not been able to make a breakdown of the figures. How- With 1010 returns in on the gur bernatorial race, Fred M. Alger had the edge on Gov. G. Mennen Williams. The score in this race stood 350,887 for the Republican to 290,254 for the incumbent Wil- liams. INOTHER state races the scores stood no better for the Democrats. In 963 precincts, Republican Clarence A. Reid held onto a good lead in the contest for lieu- tenant governor with 310,965 over 255,273 for Democrat John W. Connolly. Owen J. Cleary, the Republi- can candidate, was in front in the secretary of state race with 309,- 246 votes in 770 precincts. Robert S. McAllister, the Demo- cratic contender, polled 199,830. * * * - IN 801 PRECINCTS, Attorney General Frank G. Millard, out for reelection, led his contest with 322,741. Democrat John T.

In the Auditor general race, In- cumbent John B. Martin Jr. had rolled up 318,728 to Robert J. Baker's 202,157 in 784 precincts. The non-partisan contest for Supreme Court Justice had in- cumbent Clark J. Adams still in the lead with 125,116 in 426 pre- cincts. His opponent, Charles H. King, had 98,363. Michigan voters also decided yesterday on three proposals to amend the state constitution, two of them the controversial redis- tricting amendments. Labeled Number 2 and Number 3, first returns gave the advantage to proposal Number 3. It calls for a "balanced legislature"--a house chosen according to population and a senate frozen roughly on the present basis. * * * LATEST returns showed n192,- 000 in favor and 111,000 against Number 3. The CIO-backed proposal Num- ber 2 was trailing but the returns from 114 of the state's 4480 pre- cincts did not include any pre- cincts in Wayne County where the CIO has its heaviest strength.

By the Associated Press Republicans made gains early today in a tough battle to give Dwight D. Eisenhower a GOP Con- gress, but the outcome was still in doubt in the House and tied at 41 seats for each party in the Senate at 4 a.m. today. With 49 seats needed for con- trol of the upper chamber, the Senate race, where the Democrats had a mathematical edge before n. GOP Gains Wide ! Electoral Margin Stevenson Concedes Race at 1:44 a.m Asks People To Support General By The Associated Press Dwight D. Eisenhower was elected as the 34th President of the United States yesterday in what appears to be the greatest electoral landslide since the Roosevelt sweep of 1936. As The Daily went to press this morning the man who led the Allies to victory in World War II was leading his Democratic opponent Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois b , a 442 to 89 electoral count. Official victory came for Eisenhower at 1:44 a.m. when Goy. Stevenson conceded the election and called on the American people to rally behind the General and give him "the support he will need. THE EISENHOWER VICTORY, by totally unpredicted majoritis in states traditionally Democratic as well as those normally Repub lican, brought a 20-year''era of Democratic political reign to a crash- ing end. It appeared possible early this morning that the GOP pight control the Senate as well as the House of Representatives as favored Democratic senatorial nominees went down to defeat in several states. Latest returns showed Eisenhower leading with a smashing 22,895,000 vote while Stevenson trailed several million behind with a 18,770,000 tally. All over the nation, states were chalking up record votes aS America went to the polls by the greatest numbers in history to create the giant GOP sweep. Altogether his popular vote may hold at the 55 per cent figure set early this morning. * * * * WITH FINAL FIGURES far from complete Eisenhower was leading in every state except Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kntucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and West Virginia. In Minnesota and Washington the Republican lead remained tenuous with a possibility that final tallies might show Stevenson the victor. But Republicans had taken everything that mattered. Ike ripped Virginia and Florida away from the traditionally "solid South" with possible victory ahead in Texas. He captured Oklahoma and Mary- land along the border and was out front in Missouri. The big prizes-New York, Ohio, New Jersey, Michigan, Cali- fornia, Pennsylvania and Illinois-were safely GOP. Michigan crashed through for Ike with what appears to be approaching a 200,000 vote margin. IT ALL ADDED UP to a smashing climax to the Eisenhower- Nixon Crusade which had hammered away at the Democratic argu- ment "you never had it so good" with their own conviction that "it's time for a change." These were the central themes that ran through the hectic campaign. Actually, on any major issues, there was little fundamental dif- ference of positions established by Eisenhower and Stevenson. Stev- enson, like Eisenhower, promised unrelenting attack on corruption and' Red infiltration in government. Eisenhower, like the Illinois governor, promised to head off any depression. * * * BOTH MEN called for early solution to the Korean stalmate. Both men pledged to support farm prices and both insisted that nothing is so important in this world as peace. Evidently the Republican argument that Gen. Eisenhower could most effectively lead the country to world peace was one of the main points in their favor as millions of Americans worried about the draft, Korean reversals and the truce stalemate turned out for Ike. And the Eisenhower contention that tidelands oil rights should remain with the states was obviously reflected in the huge Texas vote. The Republican civil rights plank could be credited with helping Ike in Texas and swinging Virginia and Florida into GOP columns for the voting began, promised to be! exceedingly close. * * * TWENTY-ONE. Senate races had been decided as The Daily went to press; the Republicans won 15 of them. Democrats will have 35 holdovers and the Republi- cans 26 in the new Congress. If the candidates who were leading proved to be the victors, the Senate would be tied 48 to 48 on the basis of old party labels. That could leave control up to Sen Wayne Morse of Ore- gon, who identified himself now as an independent. The Senate race appeared to hinge on close contests in Ken- tucky, New Mexico, Wyoming, Mis- souri, Nevada and possibly other states. * * * IN KENTUCKY, RepublicanI CAMPUS REACTION: Ike Partisans Whoop While ItemnFans weep By ERIC VETTER and GENE HARTWIG Victory celebrations and gloomy discussion groups typified campus and local reaction to election re- sults early this morning. An early morning student inspir- ed demonstration paraded down State St. and around campus shortly after Gov. Adlai Steven- son's concession speech. WITH CHANTS of "We Like Ike" the demonstration touched off a series of victory celebrations in dormitories, fraternities, soror- ities and rooming houses. Republicans began whooping it up as early as 11 p.m. when re- turns from key northern states confirmed trends in the South pointing to a GOP victory. Democrats, meanwhile, main- +ninr ightfaep i viuilence until This was a reference to the re- sults, showing Republican Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge of Mass. trail- ing his Democratic opponent, John F. Kennedy. A record percentage of register- ed city and county voters went to the polls to swing the local elec- tions along with the national trend. SEVENTY-FIVE per cent of the city had cast its ballot by noon yesterday in polling which went smoothly and without unusual dis- turbance. In the second precinct of the second ward in Ann Arbor 60 people lost their presidential vote by forgetting to cast a sep- arate vote for president. All of these voters had cast a straight John Sherman Cooper was leading incumbent Democrat Thomas R. Underwood early today. A close New Mexico race gave Democratic incumbent Dennis Chavez a 52 vote margin oversGOP candidate Patrick J. Hurley with half the southwestern state's votes reported. A Wyoming upset was in the making as Frank A. Barrett, Re- publican, threatened Democratic Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney's, sixth-place seniority position in the Senate. , Another close race in Missouri showed Stuart Symington, Demo- crat, pulling ahead of GOP in- cumbent James P. Kem. And in Nevada, the Republicans led as it appeared that Thomas B. Mech- ling's bid for a Senate seat would be taken by George B. Malone, in- cumbent. In incomplete returns for other significant Senatorial contests, Wisconsin incumbent Sen. Joseph McCarthy was running well ahead of his Democratic, opponent Thomas E. Fairchild with a count of 435,000 to 292,000 votes. INCUMBENT" GOP Sen. Harry Cain was trailing Henry M. Jack- son, Democrat, in Washington's early returns. With one-fourth of Ohio's vote in, Sen. John W. Bricker seemed certain to retain his post, as Democrat Michael V. DiSalle fell behind by 100,000 counts. The Massachusetts race saw John F. Kennedy, Democrat, slowly draw ahead of GOP Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., Eisen- hower's leading pre-convention supporter. REP.
