Biggest Support* From Mid-West As reports from scattered precincts tfcrcughout the nation continued to come in even this Thursday morning, the size of President Roosevelt's load over Governor Dewey increases. While the defeated candidate and Ae Republican party in general were •ttrprised for a time at the ever widening gap, it is now the opinion ef most of them that the war was chiefly responsible. Leaders viewed tile final returns as evidence that the? public • in general was afraid to Change presidents in the midst of war. However, botfy Governor Dewey and the party in general expressed ^their congratulations to the president and a wish for a speedy victory In the war and the establishment of •B everlasting peace. * „ Democrats gained seats in both tile hpuse and senate and this7* too, was viewed as an endorsement by the people of the president's international policies. . With the mid-west standing most Wrongly behind the losing candidate, there has been much political speculation among leaders in this part of tile county as to the future of the party and the claims of this vicinity In 1948 on the party nomination for presidlnt. Governor Green's name has been mentioned often but Dewey Is still generally regarded as the Man, particularly if he should be reflected governor two years from now. Although returns were still not entirely complete, the thirty-five states which have backed the president will give him 413 electoral votes as against thirteen states' 118 for Dewey. Only 266 such votes are seeded for election. A popular vote plurality for the president of about three million, compared with his five" million margin over Willkie in 1940, ;i|M indicated. In Illinois voting, latest figures re- Waled that Roosevelt received 2,073- 338 votes as against 1,930,038 for his opponent. With some precincts •till not reported, ILucas was leadteg Lyons in the state, 2,052,764 to 1£41,366. The race for governor, which left doubt in all minds for a long time, finally gave as its last ifport, Green, 1,996,764, and Courti( ey, 1,932,734. For Secretary of State, Barrett was leading his opponent, Benson, 1,972,159, to 1,881, d*2.
