gressiOnal fight. which has been the
most stubbOrnly contested IN many
years, and the result probably will be
close in al districts.

GEORGIA ELECTION
IS MERE FORMALITY

ATLANTA, Ga. Nov. S-With only
Congressional candidates up and with
no opposition 20 the Democratic ticket
the election in Georgia today is merely
fOTmality. The only certain change
in the Congressional delegation Is IN the
Fifth district. where William :. Howard
succeeds Lon r. Livingston.
In the Eighth district. William NJ
Howard and Samuel J. Tribble both
claim the Democratic nOmina ton and
are running against each other. The
chances appear to favor Towards re-

CLAIM
BIG GAINS IN IOWA

DIES MONIES, Iowa. Nov. S.-GoOd
weather and keen State wide interest
IN the insurgent situation brought out
a heavy poll in this city and all over
the state today.
The Democrats claim big gains on
the legislative ticket, which IS siSnih-
cant owing to the fact that a successor
TO Jonothan p. Dolliver viii be chosen
by the next Legislature. Insurgent Pc
publiCans claimed victory generally.

Situation In Maryland.
While the Democrats are claiming all

servative politicians declare that the
party will not carry more than five Of
the six districts at most and perhaps
not more than four. In that event the
-. o. p. viii suffer a loss OF one dis
uict the delegation now being equally
divided.
Representatives Covington in the First
and Talbot in the Second seem TO be
entirely out Of the woods so far as re-
election is concerned. Both parties
practically conceded their return.
IN the Third, one Of the Baltimore
city districts, however, there is serious
doubt about the Democrats ability 10
win. George Koenig. the Democratic
nominee, is a weak candidate, and only
the similar weakness on the part of his
Republican opponent gives him any
show az all.
state Senator Linthicum will carry the
Fourth, another Baltimore district, but
the fate Of J. Encs Ray, in the Fifth,
cannot be foreseen. The chances are
that Thomas Parran. his opponent, and
one of the best campaigners in the
state. will succeed Representative
Mudd.
While David ]. Lewis is picked as a
winner In the Sixth. there is feeling
in many quarters that B. II. Warner

West Virginia Divided.
The West Virginia delegation In the
next Congress probably will be divided.
The Democrats expect to gain one seat,
md perhaps two, whereas all five West
Virginia Representatives are at present
Republicans.
The Legislature being elected today
will return y. y. Scott 20 the United

There seems little hope of defeating

forced to divide the opposition TO Tener

means that the old guard Republicans
