Elections were held yesterday in
forty-t"o States. and UP to an carly
hour this morning the returns indi-
Gated that the control of the National
Congress remains with the Republi-
can party. While the official returns
may make the working majority of
the Republican party in the House a
close one. there is 10 doubt that it
Hill be sufficient for all party purpo-
ses From national standpoint the
control of the lower branch of Con-
gress was the real contest.
Many of the States which elected
legislators Will choose United States
Senator'S, but the result of these elec-
tions has in no way inlpeded the Re-
publican majority of the upper House.
In those States which elected Govern
ors, there was no State in which the
party in power was not continued in
that position, In some of the States,
however, there was a decided change
from the vote cast two years ago. III

in the two great States of New York
and Pennsylvania: in the latter be-
cause of the conditions brought about
by the recent coal strike. and in New
