REPUBLICAN control of congress
ai almost wtpt away In the
Democratic landslide at the elation
on November 7. According to the re
turn at thla writing, the 0. O. I. In
the next congress will hae 53 ana
tore, compared with 60 now. and the
Democrat will have 42 compared
with 86 now. Doctor Shlprtead, who
defeated Senator Keilogg in Minne
sota, represents the Fsrmer-1-ar.or
party.
The lower house of the 8!xty-elghth
emigre will be composed of 225 Re
publicans. 207 Democrats, one Social
ist, one Independent and one Farmer
Labor member. If these figures are
not changed by the revised returns,
the Republicans will have a majority
over all of 15.
Nine aeuate seats were lost by the
Republicans, by the defeat of Seua
tors DuPont In Delaware, France in
Maryland, Townsend In Mich I tun,
Kellogg In Mlnnesotn, rreMnghuysen
In New Jersey. Caltler In New York,
Polndexter In Washington, una Suth
erland In West Virginia, and of Albert
J. Beveiidge In Imllnna. The Porno
crats lost two sent through the down
fall of Senators Hitchcock In Nebras
ka and Pomerene in Ohio.
Among the outstanding; results of
the election was the great victory of
Al Smith In New York. lie defeated
Miller for the governorship, which lie
once before hi'ld, by a plurality of
more than 300.000. This ninke Mm a
logical possibility for. the Democratic
nomination for the presidency In IK'4.
and already his enthusiastic admirer
are booming him for that honor. One
possible rival. Senator I'ouiereiie. U
removed by his defeat for re-election
by Fess, Republican, but It Is ULelj
Oox will want to try again. Another
man who may be put forward by the
Democrat la 8. SI. Ralston of Indians,
who defeated Beverldge for the senate
and who I very popular among the
Boosters.
Necessarily the election has Its ef
, feet, also, on Republican presiden
tial probabilities. Some politicians in
i Waahlngton think President Hnrdlug
will aot seek another nomination be
cause the great reverses sustained by
his party are Interpreted as the ex
pression of dissatisfaction with hi
administration. However, If be should
i wish to lead the ticket again, two
. likely contendere for the pluce are
oow out of It Bevertdgv of Indiana
ind Miller or New York. Put there
i ire other strong Republican potii
! it lea. Senstor Hiram Johnson of Cm II
' fornla was returned with a big plural
' ity; Glfford I'inchot won the gover
1 aorahlp of Pennsylvania by 235.O0C
plurality; and Senutor Pepper ol
Pennsylvania easily won re-election
Any one of these may reasonably aak

lowers, s well as thiae of Senator
New, are acenned of having knifed
Iteverhlge at the polls, and tho chare
seems to he true, as Republican con
gressmen were elected In nine of the
thirteen Indiana district.
Senator Ialge of Masaachuactt
Just managed to meatlier tho storm.

s.k a fourth of what It was In
IIMrt. W. N. Ferris, who defeated
Senator Townsend In Michigan, an
nounces that hi first effort when he
gets to Washington will be to unsest
Senator Newberry.
Irrespective of partisan feeling,
there will be widespread regret over
the defeat of Senators Kellogg of
Mlnnesotn and Polndexter of Wash
ington, for both have proved them
selves able, honest and Industrious
servants of the people. The same
may be said for Hitchcock of Nebras
ka. Senator James A. Reed of Mis
souri, who was repudiated by his
party two yesrs ago, goes back for a
third term with a majority of 84.000.
Shortly before the election former
President Wilson wrote a letter say
ing that if Reed were returned to the
senate he would "of course be there
a man without a party."
FOES of prohibition were consider
ably elated by certain features of
the eletfloo. Illlnolsans voted two to
one for amendment of the Volstead
act to permit beer and light wines;
California defeated the proposed state
enforcement law j Masaacnuaetta ae
Jected a proposal to harmonize the
state prohibition law with the federal
enforcement act; Governor Edwarda
of New Jersey, "wettest of the wets,"
was elected senator; New York Dem
ocrats won on a platform with a light
wine and beer plank; and In Minne
sota Congressman Volstead, author of
the enforcement act, was defeated.
The wet believe they have gained at
least 30 and maybe 00 vote In the
house.
On the other hand, the drya won a
test vote In Ohio by 100,000. and their
lender Insist they will still control
congress. While Volstead waa retired,
the man who beat him. Rev. "O. J.
Kvale, Independent, says be Is "drier
than Volstead." ' However. Volstead
will normally be succeeded as chair
man of the Judiciary committee by
Graham of Pennsylvania, who is de
cidedly literal In the matter of pro
hibition. ; '
It waa a Bad day for the once weak
er sex. Of all the woman cundldates
for seats In the senate and house,
only one was elected, sni her term
will end on March 4 next. She Is Mrs.
Winnlfred Mason Hock, who will till
out the unexpired term of her father,
the late Congressman -at-t.arge Wil
liam E. Mason of Illinois. Moreover,
as Representative Alice M. Robert
ton of Oklahoma was defeated by a
mere man, there will not be one wom
an In the Sixty-eighth congress.
PRESIDENT IIAKDr.N'G still hopes
to have the (sl.lp subsidy bill
passed by this congress and therefore
has called an extra session to begin
November 20. The measure Is aliuoxt
certain to encounter stubborn oppo
sition In the aenate, and many lead
ers of both parties believe It cannot
get through.

These demands were Onnly rejected
by the ained high commission, thi
French (.greelng with the Hrltlsh that
no such concessions should he msd
anil that the allies must retain mill

Thereupon the Turk, reiterating their
demands, railed three additional
classes to the colors and mobilised
large forces near Constantinople.
Lieutenant General lliirlngton warned
Rafet Pasha he would permit no
usurpation of allied authority.
The allied governments admittr-d
the situation was acute and Km wins
dangerous. The Hrltlsh suggested
postponement of the tausanne con
ference, but St. Polnrare for France
urged that It 0s-n without delay.
It waa said that lird Clirxon. Poln

attend the meeting because of the fear
that the soviet Russians would try to
persuade the Turks to Join them in

TO CELEBRATE the fifth anniver
sary of the Russian revolution,
some 400,000 soviet troops and armed
workers marched lu review In Mos
cow Inst week before the delegates to
the Third Internationale now In ses
sion. It wss an Inspiring sight for
the communists who dream of world
revolution. Premier Lenin did not
appear before the Internationale, but
others told of the Red progress In
various land. Leo Kameneff admit
ted that there la "a temporary victory
for reaction, capitalism and Imperial
ism In the western countrlea, espe
cially In Italy and Germany," but told
the workers they must hold tight to
their rifles. Herman delegates aald
there would be a Red revolution soon
In their country.
FALLOWING the advice of the In
ternational economic and financial
experts, the German government has
asked the reparations commission for
a two-year moratorium on all repara
tions payments coal. Iron and other
goods' as well as cash and for out
aide financial help. The experts as
sert that the stabilization of the mark,
the first essential for the recovery of
Germany, la Impossible under present
conditions and charge that the exist
ing catastrophe Is due to Internal
financial policies combined with the
iinos.slble conditions of the Ver
sailles treaty. They propose the es
tablishment of a currency bank which
should have the snpoprt of foreign
hanks and also nm.wio.niin gold marks
from the Relchsbank's reserve. The
lifting of restrictions abroad against
German trade and giving to Germany
f ill I customs rights are recommended.
DETERMINED, as they themselves
declare, to smash the Irish Free

get even bolder, as on Wednesdsy
when they placed machine gun oe
