Tru man was cast in this county the President and all Democratic state office-holders swept the county and state. With all precincts complete, Pima county early today had cast 22.080 votes for Governor Garvey. This See Page 16-A for table showing complete Pima county election returns.

compares with a state total of 60,256. State totals were not complete. President Truman received 388 votes in this county, and 74,470 in the state. The governor was ahead of the President by 4,692 votes in the county, and 5,386 In the state. It thus -was apparent that most of Garvev's popularity over that of Truman stemmed from Pima county.

President Truman led Gov. 'Thomas E. Dewey, his Republican opponent, by only 368 votes in this county. Dewey received 17,020. Defeats Brockett The governor, on the other hand, far outdistanced his Republican rival, Bruce Brockett, Yavapai cattleman.

While Garvey had 22,080 votes, Brockett had only 13,329. Harold A. Patten, Democrat, eas ily took Pima county from Albert R. Buehman, Republican, for the U. S.

house of representatives from the recently created second congressional district. Both men are from Tucson. A total of 18,905 votes went to Patten, while Buehman received 13,572. These figures are included in district totals of 42,764 for Patten and 22,095 for Buehman.

Carl Hayden, Arizona's senior senator, again will become ranking majority member of the senate appropriations committee, probably handling the work of the chairman, due to the illness of Sen.

It Is likely he will also return to the post of chairman of the appropriations sub committee on the interior depart ment and as chairman of the pow erful rules committee. Ernest W. McFarland, junior U.

senator, will be in a high position on the senate committee on interior and Insular affairs and its subcom mittee on reclamation. Meanwhile, in the house, John Murdock, who will start his sev enth term, can exercise his 12 years' seniority on the house pub lic lands committee and probably return to the chairmanship of the house subcommittee on recla mation. Harold Patten, the newly elected representative from District No. 2, will be serving his first term in Congress and will therefore have no committee seniority. WASHINGTON, Nov.

DEWEY CARRIED HOPES OF CHINA Change of Administration Needed Morale Booster; Deceived by Polls NANKING, Nov.

3. () It was freely predicted today that the U. election result had knocked one of the last props from unaer the faltering Chinese government of Chiang Kai-shek. "It was not a question of getting material assistance quicker under Dewey," said one Chinese official. "It is only that a new administra tion would provide a morale boost er for our people." The Chinese government counted heavily on the election of Gov.

Thomas E. Dewey, as had been predicted by U. S. writers and polls. The feeling was the Republicans favored greater help to China than President Truman's administration has provided.

Thus, it was believed in govern' ment circles, a Republican victory would check the spiritual collapse which followed the defeat of Chiang's best armies in Manchuria As the day wore on, and the Democratic margin held steady, Chinese offices took on more and more the appearance of a head quarters for some defeated candidate. The news of the voting in the distant United States overshadowed the cabinet crisis brought on by military reverses and economic difficulties. Premier Wong Wen-hao still was determined to resign despite Chiang's appeal to "stay on during the present crisis." Wong urged his cabinet to stay, but all min isters were preparing to quit along with their chief. MRS. FDR PLEASED PARIS, Nov.

The U. S. delegation, meanwhile, (Continued on Page 4A, Column 4) Democratic Sweep Jolts Wall Street NEW YORK, Nov. 3 (JP) The Democratic election sweep was more than a surprise for the nation's business community.

It was a shock. Wall street and many business and industrial leaders had felt a Dewey victory was a sure thing. Although they did not expect that a Dewey administration in Washington would bring very many important policy changes, they did expect a better climate for business. Now they are dusting off the extensive legislative program which President Truman outlined earlier this year and which a Re publican Congress vetoed in large part. They are, studying it with interest, This program will now be laid In some form before a Democratic Congress.

Both the executive and legislative branches of the govern ment now have a direct mandate from the people to act upon it. Before there had been doubt about how the public felt about it. Business in general has felt the Democratic regimes in Washington for the past 16 years have been hostile to it. Now it is girding for at least four more years of gov ernment directed by a President who campaigned against "Wall street reactionaries" as "gluttons of privilege." Not many are quaking in their bots, however. Business is good, and promises to continue to be for a wb41e at least.

Prosperity which came under one Democratic regime obviously can continue under another. The business community prides itself on being hard-iieaded about such matters. The leaders of business are awaiting a recapitulation of the W. Va, Wis, Wyo, 550. Total Wallace popular vote, 1,019,150.

It was a triumph which the little man from Missouri, standing almost alone against the flood-tide of pre-election forecasts, had pre dicted wjth unswerving confidence. uown to defeat went Thomas E. Dewey, trying for a comeback along the road to the White House which invincible Franklin D. Roosevelt blocked four years ago.

GOP Key Posts Lost Down with him went Republican candidates In key congressional races and gubernatorial contests. They went down fighting, in the toughest presidential battle since Woodrow Wolson squeezed out Charles Evans Hughes in 1916. Dewey conceded defeat at 11:15 a. Wednesday. And at the moment of decision by tens of millions of American voters, victor and vanquished alike cried out their hopes for peace in a troubled world.

For himself, Truman pledged anew that he would give all his efforts "to the cause of peace in the world and the prosperity and happiness of our people." As Dewey lost, he called out to all Americans to "unite" behind the man who beat him and behind every effort to keep our nation strong and free and establish peace in uie worm. Foreign Policy Stand In those words of the President and the man who wanted to be President notice that America's foreign policy will remain bipartisan, that it will remain one of unwavering firmness toward Russia. In fact, there were suggestions that the first big diplomatic move by a chief executive bolstered by a resounding vote of confidence in his program will be in the direction of a military alliance with western Europe. And at home, Truman had an evident endorsement of his inten tion to carry forward and expand a New Deal which he has embraced in its entirety. All through his campaign, as he trudged up and down and across the country, the President promised that a Democratic Congress and a Democratic President would give the people: Truman's Program Price controls, housing, more social security, a higher minimum wage, repeal of the Taft-Hartley labor law, benefits for farmers, developments of the west, medical insurance, strengthened civil rights.

Shakeups unquestionably are in store in the Republican party leadership. Twice defeated for the presidency on which he had set his heart for 10 years, Dewey said he wouldn't try again. He indicated he might get out of politics. Even If he to make another comeback attempt in 1952, the GOP probably would deny Dewey the chance. Never before in Its history had the party so much as renominated a man who lost in the presidential race.

Party stalwarts probably will hunt around for new, young men to reorganize the GOP for the 1950 presidential contest for two years later.

The smiling Dewey was well-groomed and showed no weariness as he strode into a mezzanine room of the Roosevelt hotel, where he has an apartment, for the news conference. His voice was strong and he displayed no emotion. "What happened?" was the first question. I was just as surprised as you are and I gather, that is shared by everybody in the room," the gov ernor answered.

He declined to second guess his campaign strategy, declaring he and Warren agreed they had waged a clean and constructive campaign."

No Political Parallel His victory is without-parallel or counterpart in the history of the presidency.

It was a valid and genuine political miracle. But this miracle can be ex plained. Part of the explanation a vary small part can be found in th issues of the campaign, and in President approach to them.
