the vote that the Democrats ex-
pected for him in New York City. 1t

would go to the Bronx with 10000
votes.

widespread Not only in New York,
but Massachusetts,, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Ohio, Indiana and probably
Iowa went Democratic.
Nebraska went Democratic and il
was remarked that this first clean
cut Democratic victory in that state
was made in a year when William
Jennings Bryan bolted the ticket.
The indications are that the Dem
ocrats will control the sixty-second
con gress by small majo "ity. There
are at present 217 Republicans and
ia Democrats in the lower house.
New York City sends three Demo-
Gratis in place of Republicans, Brook
Ign sends two and the Utica district
sen DIS one from Vice-president Sher-
mans home in place Of Congressman
Millington. There are gains of one
in Kentucky, one in North Carolina,
one in Connecticut and two in May
land. These with the two recently
elected from Maine and one elected
In Louisiana and one In Texas added
to a number whom the Democrats arc
confident they have won, although
the vote is close, give the Democrats
control Of the lower house.
Judson Harmon's victory in Ohio
Is the most emphatic of any Of the
many gained by the Democrats His
plurality over Warren G. Harding,
