Early Election Reports
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and the GOP sprinted into a quick
lead and held it as returns from yesterday's presidential election
passed the two million-vote mark and climbed on up.
GOP National Chairman Arthur E. Summerfield said in New
'fork. "It looks like a Republican landslide." He said a "pent-up
avalanche of votes" was likely to show up before the evening was
very old.
Eisenhower was leading in 34 states with 352 electoral votes.
.Stevenson was ahead in 13 states with 141 , electoral votes.
Associated Press returns from the country's polling units
showed the popular vote!
Eisenhower 12.000.000 ,
Stevenson 10,700,000
On the basis of the popular vote, Eisenhower Was out in front
-with 52 per cent. At about the same hour in 1948 and with about
the same number of precincts in, President Truman was _leading
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey by 53 per cent of the Truman-Dewey vote,
and went on to win.
Returns still were skimpy. But they were enough to show
the general piling up a smashing vote in some 'northern states
and running strong in- Dixie• and along the border. The general
,was out IA front in Ohio, with 25 big electoral votes, giving Steven
son a hard run in Cuyahoga County Cleveland which ordinarily
is heavily Democratic.
• Stevenson stepped ahead .in his own state of Illinois, with 27
electoral votes, but that was on the basis of returns predominately
from Chicago and Cook County, where he was slated to show best.
He also took the lead in New Jersey, on the basis of a tiny trickle
of returns from that state.

Election Watcher Has
His Dog Day, Too
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4 (?P)—
A woman leading a small mutt of
a dog on a leash walked up to
Charles Wells outside a polling
place in the city's 64th Division.
"Are you a watcher?" she asked.
"I - am," said Wells.
"Then will you please watch
my dog until I vote?"
Wells obliged, for a good 10
minutes-.
"That was real nice of you,"
the woman said afterward. "And
my, isn't it a good thing all the
voters aren't bringing along their
dogs today?"

Pa. Legislature
To Face '53
Tax Problems
HARRISBURG, Nov. 4 (A')—
Pennsylvania voters today elected
members of the 1953 legislature
who will come to grips with state
tax problems next year.
All of the 208 places in the
House and half of the 50 seat
Senate were at stake.
In the House, 163 incumbents
-91 Republicans and 72 Democrats
—sought re-election. Republicans
dominated the lower chamber last
year by a margin of 120 to 87
Democrats with one vacancy.
Senate fights saw 22 incumbents
seek another four year term. They
included 13 Republicans and nine
Democrats. The Senate was con
trolled by the GOP, 30 to 20, dur
ing the 1951 session. The margin
was enough to pass a bill but in
sufficient to c out i r m guberna
torial appointments where a two
thirds vote is necessary.
Sen. C. Arthur Blass (R-Erie)
is the only candidate for the legis
lature to win both nominations in
the primary. A primary election
write-in vote gave him the Demo
cratic nomination. -
In the House, there were three
seats for which Democrats failed
to put up a candidate. That left
Reps. Harry R. Mclnroy (R-Tioga),
Charles R. Reagan (R-Union), and
Ray W. Greenwood (R-Wyoming)
unopposed except for possible
Democratic write-ins.
A new presiding officer is as
sured in the House since Speaker
Herbert P. Sorg (R-Elk) failed to
seek re-election.
Sen. John M. Walker, Alle
gheny, Republican floor leader, is
a holdover senator not up for re
election this year, but is expected
to be a candidate for another term
as the GOP floor spokesman.
Two other senators—George B.
Scarlett (R-Chester) and Maxwell
S. Rosenfeld (D-Phila)—won their
party nominations in the primary
but withdrew from the general
election campaign.
Scarlett retired for health rea
sons.

Key Centers Report Bil-
Penrsylvzitia Vote
A record smashing vote to decide the fate of Pennsylvania's 32
electoral college votes appeared in the making as election officials
in key population centers in the state reported abnormally heavy
turnouts among the 5,340,936 registered voters.
Indications of an unprecedented volume piled up early as such
strategic places as Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, and other industrial
areas—and notably suburban dis
tricts—experienced a heavy turn
out at the outset, with •few signs
of a slackening in the balloting
pace
The weather man favored the
get-out-the-vote-drive. The day
dawned clear and crisp and re
mained that way throughout.
Well before midday many cities
and towns across the state re
ported voting was 'running far
ahead of that in any national
election for a generation.
Coatesville, for example, said it
wasa twice as heavy as it had been
in any presidential election year
since 1940. Other communities
gave similar accounts.
Rural regions came in strong,
too. Farmers, crossroads mer
chants, villagers streamed to the
polling stations along with their
urban fellows.
Long time political observers
said they noted an interest and an
excitement remarkable even for
the climax of a national political
campaign • characterized by ten
sion and emotions out of the or
dinary.
Voter interest chiefly respon-

sible for the outpouring seemed
to focus on the battle for the presi
dency between Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower and his Democratic
opponent, Gov. Adlai E. Steven
son of Illinois.
And the office of the common
wealth's secretary predicted bal
loting would 'hit the four and one
quarter million mark.
Republican registration ran to a
grand total of 3,128,773; Demo
crats, 2,137,490, and non partisan
registrants and minor parties
-74,073. In addition, 50,000 to 100,-
000 soldiers are eligible to cast
absentee ballots. These will not
be tabulated until Nov. 14.
