New York. Nov. IA Washington special to The Times says President Roosevelt's views on Southern repre- sentation in the House are given in a letter to Wyndham R. Meredith presi- dent of the Virginia Bar Association, made public today.
 The lslter. whtch is dated october 27. says in part;
 T do not believe there is a single individual of any consequence who seriously dreams of cutting down Southern representation. and I should have no hesitation in stating anywhere and at any time that as long as the election laws are constltutionally en- forced without discrimination as to color. the fear that Southern represen- tation in Congress will be cut down is both idle and absurd.

Sufficient of the offical returns from Tuesdays election have been received by The Advertiser to indicate that two of the proposed amendments to the Constitution of the State have been defeated and one of them has been adopted.
 The voters of Alabama favored the good roads proposition but cast disfa- vor upon the proposal to create new counties and to have biennial sessions of the Legislature.
 omcial returns from forty-six of the sixty-seVen counties. show that for the new counties amendment 24.sps votes were boiled and 2S,723 against It. This a majority against the amendnlena of 4.120
 These returns include the big coun- ties of Jefferson, Mobile, Montgomerv. Dallas. Calhoun. Walker and Madison. The returns from the remaining twan- ty-three counties may reduce the ma jorlty but it will hardly be enough to adopt the amendment.
 There was more interest in the coun- ties amendment that the others, and. as consequence, more returns were received on that matter
 Ohicial results have como in from only thirty eight counties on the htaws hlat heSSi0ua aInendnenI These COunN ties give 16,2i2 for the amendment and 20.30s against it. 8 majority of GesI against 1t.

 Attorneys Pierce and Fry. for the aI- leged night riders. today filed de- rnurrer to the answer filed yekterday by the prosecution.
 The demurrer states the aiieged civil processes under which the prisoners are held, have never been serveds that the writ does not show the defendant has any legal authority to hold the prison CTS, nor does the return show the pris- oner was ever offered trial or offer ed bail, and that the return shows he was arrested and held pFssoner before the warrant was sworn out. It claims the writ does not show the Governor has authority to call out the National Guard, and the return does not chow that the Sheriff of Obion County has ever called on the Governor for aid. IL claims that if the Governor had author ity to call out the National Guard 1t would be the duty of the militia to turn the prisoners over to the sheriff.
