Selections Yesterday Afternoon.

The election of Representative Morris
Sheppard by the Texas legislature late
yesterday Afternoon for the LneXpired por-
ton of Senator Bailey's term, as well as
for full term of six years, beginning
March T. will cut short the service in the
upper house of Congress of Col. r. NJ
Johnston, who was appointed by the Texas
governor to succeed Mr.. Bailey at the
time of the latter'S resignation. Senator
Bailey gave up his seat in the Senate so
that his longtime friend, Col. Johnston
could be made a United States senator 1t
was hoped by Mr.. Bailey and his friends
that Col Johnston would be allowed to
serve all the unexpired term. which would
be until March 4. But the Texas legisla-
ture upset the plans, and Col. Johnston
probably will not be d senator for longer
than a month.
Judge w NJ. kavanaugh democrat
who was elected yesterday afternoon to
succeed the late jeff Davis of Arkansas
will serve only until March unless he is
elected by the Arkansas legislature for
the full term, which begins at the same
time that Woodrow Wilson is inaugurated
President Reports here are that Judge
Kavanaugh is not a candidate for the
full term. He will succeed a. y. Heiskell,
who was appointed by the governor pend
ing the election by the legislature.

Fall Strengthens Republicans.

The reelection of Albert b. Fall of New
Mexico yesterday insures the republicans
of a seat about which there had been
some doubt Political enemies of Senator
Fall of the New Mexico legislature made
a strong effort to prevent his reelection
for another six years and earlier reports
to Washington placed his reelection as
doubtful.
Five senatorships in the new Congress
which begins March are still in doubt
These are the two from Illinois and one
each from West Virginia, Delaware and
New Hampshire. Deadlocks in the legis-
latures of these four states have made
the balloting for senators Ineffective.
Key Pittman, democrat, who has been
elected Senator by the Nevada legiSla-
rure. will succeed Senator Massey re-
publican as soon as Mr.. Pittman arrives
here with his credentials. Senator Mas
sey was appointed to succeed the late
