SEN. D0[[|VER
DIES SUDDENLY
SENATOR STRICKEN BY HEART
FAILURE At FORT DODGE,
IOWA.
HELD HIGH PLACE AS STATESMAN
Campaign 10 Upset.-Blow Dealt In
surgents by Death Of Ardent
Champion Of Their
Cause.

GOAG OOu6S, WI. 16s JOudLu0u
Prentice Dolliver, senior United States
senator from Iowa, died at his home
here Saturday evening, while a physi.
clan stood over him making an exam
ination Of his heart with a stethoscope.
Death came without q moments
warning. and DR.. e. M. Vanivetten,
who was making the examination,
when the instrument stopped, thought
the stethoscope had been broken. He
looked up into the face Of the senator
to find that, silently and with tragic
suddenness, the death messenger had
called the soul Of the statesman.
Heart trouble was alone the cause
Of the death, and the minor ills which
have been bothering the senator dur
ing the last three weeks had little
effect on his passing. Although Sen
ator Dolliver had been i'll for three
weeks or more, during the last few
days he had been up and around, even
as late as p. m. today.
The colleagues Of the dead senator
were early to offer their coincidence,
and there were many words of sympa-
thy from the statesmen and diplomats
of Washington.
Mrs. Dolliver, her two daughters,
Margaret and Frances, and s1er son
George were, in the room when Sem
ator Dolliver died. A sister, Miss Gay
Dolliver, is dean Of women at Morn
ingside college in Sioux City, Iowa; R.
H. Dolliver, brother, is minister in
the Methodist church, but has not been
in Fort Dodge during the illness of
the senator.
Funeral services will be held Thurs.
day at 2 o'clock. The obsequies will
be in charge of Rev. w. H. Spence,
pastor Of the First Methodist Episcop.
al church of Fort Dodge. Bishop
Newell Dwight Hills of New York City
Frank Gunsaulus of Chicago, DR..
Newell DwightHillis of New York City
and Gov. B. F. Carroll of Iowa, were
invited to make funeral orations. II
the weather is good the services will
be held on the lawn of the Dolliver
home. If this is not feasible, the ora
lions will be delivered in the First
Methodist church. Burial will be in
Oakland cemetery, Fort Dodge, by
the side Of Senator Delivers parents.
Politics In Chaos.
The political situation in Iowa is in
chaos The thought that death would
end Mr.. Delivers term had never been
entertained. It had been expected
that he would not only complete his
term, but be given another term. The
campaign had been carried on wholly
without thought of the senatorship.
II Dolliver had died week ago It
would have been possible to submit
the senatorship to the voters a. q
primary proposition on the day Of cleo.
ton. It ID too late now. The governor
has the power Of appointment.

Atlantic City, New Jersey. - The
afrship America, which has been pre-
pairing for flight across the Atlantic
ocean under the supervision of Walter
Wellman, was taken out of the huge
balloon house, and at SOL a. m. the
great cigar-shaped craft went up in
the air and started seward. In two
minutes it had disappeared in the
dense fog which prevailed.
What little wind that was blowing
at the time was from the west. AS
the balloon went into the air a part
ing cheer was given by about 1000
persons.
The aeronauts waved their Good
BY" climbed into the car of the i'm
mense gas bag, and foated OFF in the
dense fog that enveloped the entire
island, while the crowd kept cheering
Thousands Watch Start.
Dense fog with no wind made the
conditions perfect, and the balloon was
out of sight almost Immediately. The
last reported sight Of the America and
its crew was secured by volunteer
crew Of the yacht Olive, belonging to
Colonel Thomas Potter Of Philadel-
phia, which guided the balloon out of
the inlet.
Just before starting Chief Engineer
vaniman informed Mrs. Vaniman and
friends that there Is every reason to
believe that. the weather conditions
will warrant the trip being continued
in the effort to cross the ocean.
Twenty.slx Miles an Hour.
Colonel Potter's small motor yacht,
by means Of rope, towed the airship
the few hundred feet necessary to
reach the waters edge. Those gath
cred to see the start declare the sight
was beautiful one. There are six
men on the airship, and they are pro-
vided with provisions, mostly of the
canned variety, enough to last them a
month. The only means of cooking is
with small oil stove, but this Mr.
Wellman says will do all the cooking
they require:
Each man is provided with two uni
forms, one of khaki and a much heav-
Ter one for use in case extraordinary
cold weather is encountered.
It was estimated that the two en-
gines. which were working perfectly,
were pushing the balloon through the
air at the rate of twenty-six miles an
hour.
Wireless messages were received
from Mr.. Wellman every hour and so
far he has had no accident.
The last word received from Well
man a message early Monday morn
ing: "All well, machinery working
well. Have turned more northerly to
reach transatlantic steamer track.
Exact position not sure; somewhere
between 300 and 800 miles of shore"

STATISTICIAN
EXPLA AIMS PARTY'S VICTORY
Josiah H. Shnn Points Out Salient Features the Land
slide Which Reversed Republican
PluralitieS

Josiah II. Shinn. statistician Of the
Democratic National Congressional
committee, who has for several days
been in charge of Democratic headquar-
tiers here, made the following statement
this morning:
For the first time In sixteen years the
next House of Representatives viii be
Democratic. TIE present House con-
sists Of ia Democrats and 2l7 Repubi-
cans. or a majority of AZ. The Sixty
second Congress will consist Of at least
Z1s Democrats and 172 Republicans. The
Democratic leeway In the shape Of ma
jority will be q and probably more In
other words. the status Of the parties Is
about exactly reversed.
When the campaign opened the
Democrats needed p votes 70 give them
a majority, and there were 40 Congress
sional districts where the average ma
jority was less than 1,0Oo-where a
change Of less than 500 votes would
change Congressman. The Democratic
Congressional committee, relying on the
weakness Of the Payne tariff. resolved
to attack these weak districts with
vigor and also to attack the stronger
districts with a battering ram Tney
high and not low. and used a hundred
gatling guns. The result was an even
divide OF Congressman, the Republican
half just squeezing into haven. When
Republicans can not carry Maine they
can not be expected to carry anything.
and the Democratic committee then
charged the whole line, not overlooking
| a single Congressional district in the
United States.
The Republican campaign committee
reserved and concentrated its force on

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 9--Returns
receirc1 early today indicate that the
Democrats have carried every Congress
siOnal district in the State and that
Judge =. W. Saunders in the Fifth and
Henry e. Stuart in the Ninth are lead
ing by narrow margins.
Up until midnight it appeared that J.
NJ Parsons, Republican, would carry
the Fifth, but to-day the Saunders man
a@ers declare that they will hold the
strict. They claim no definite major
ity, but feel confident that Parsons has
failed tc win.
Two -eIrs ago Parsons ran against
Judge Saunders and was defeated by a
narrow margin. He charged that fraud
had been used TO defeat him, and insti-
JUted contest for the seat awarded 10
Judge Saunders. Just before Congress
adjourned the House committee sus-
tanned Parsons and reported In favor OF
seating him. The House, however, took
TO action on the report, and Saun1ers
stu holds on. This added bitterness to
the Fifth district Campafgn and made il
one of the storm centers of the State.
g EaScCm Slemp, who now repre-
Sents the Ninth district and is the State
Republican leader, is apparently beaten.
The returns. slow in coming in. are
favorable 20 the election Of Stuart. but
the figures from Dickinson county are
still out and they may change the final
