Claims Many Contests-What

it plain that unless there is a change

at least three contests. Louisiana will
have one or two; Virginia the same
North Carolina and Tennessee will also
send contesting candidates with a posi-
bility of contests in Alabama. Kentucky
and Arkansas.

MIssoURI's VOTE.
st. Louis.-There is to-day almost no
doubt that the Republican state ticket
has been successful. By comparisons
with two years ago, the Republicans had
a plurality of 29,661 to overcome. Fifty
seven counties out of ia show a net Re-
publican gain of 1929. In the house of
representatives the Republicans have
made gains enough to give them a ma
jority on joint ballot, but the senate will
remain Democratic. In the congressional
districts, it is now fairly established that
the lst Hatch's, 4th Ellison's, 9th Dear
mond's, 9TH Heard's, 9th Champ Clark's,
18th Fox's, 14th Arnold's, and 18th Nor
gan's, have been carried by the Republi-
cans. The 8th BANDS, is still IN doubt
as is also the Sd Dockery's. The 10th
and 11th st. Louis, are Republican.
