Dem.) will succeed Briggs (Rep.)
The uncertainty as to West Vir
ginia, indicated in earlier reports,
seemed apparently the only obstacle
to a Democratic majority.
Definite returns are still lacking
from Oregon, Wyoming, Tennessee,
New Hampshire, Illinois, Iowa and
South Dakota. Late figures from Ne
vada indicate that Pittman (Dem.) is
leading and probably Is elected.
Joe Cannon ls Defeated.
Later returns did not diminish the
heavy Democratic majority in the
house of representatives, but they did
play see-saw with Uncle Joe" Can
non and finally left him defeated by
a majority of 600.
Gillette of Massachusetts probably
will succeed to Cannon's position as
senior Republican on the appropria-
tions committee.

will show many of the veterans. with
a large infusion of new blood. Among
the prominent senators holding over

With 80 precincts still to be heard
from, Wilson has a margin of 15,O42
over Roosevelt. Nearly all the missing
precincts are in Democratic sections,
and when the judges and clerks of
election get into their buckboards and
ride to town with the returns, they
are expected to swell Wilson's pilur-
atty still more.
Two States Change.
Wyoming, which had been counted
IN the Taft column, has passed to the
Wilson column, and Vermont, which
had been conceded to Wilson, is found
to be for Taft.
Minnesota continued to grow strong

agricultural precincts came in. Up to

ldano also appears to nave left the
Taft column and gone into the Wilson
one. Returns from four-fifths of the
state seem to indicate that the
New Jersey governor will have a small
plurality in it, although recount may
be necessary to decide the result.
California is still hanging in the bal
ance. The state fluctuated with every
fresh match of returns.

A Dual Personality.

st. Louis, Nov. s. Miss Barbara
Gladys Arnold, 17-year-old nurse who
confessed she set fire to the Berlin no.
tel, causing the loss of four lives, said
that a dual personality caused her to
commit the crime and that when a
realization Of it's horror came to her
something seemed to tell her the
only way to atone would be to start a
second fire and perish in it. This, she
said, was what prompted her to set
fire to the Windemere hotel shortly
before her arrest.

half of the entire membership of the
senate, with Democratic vice presi-
dent in the chair to cast the deciding
ballot in case of tie. Six states are
yet to be heard from definitely. A
senator from one of these would give
the Democrats clear majority.
Kansas has been added to the Dem

The states in which the complexion Of
the legislatures is yet to be decided
are: Illinois, Michigan, Oregon,
South Dakota, Tennessee and Wyom-

Ordinarily Tennessee could be re-
