REPUBLICANS SWING
LEGISLATURE FROM
DEMOCRATS IN N. ].
President Wilson's Home
County and District Turn
Against Him-Walsh De-
feated for Congress.

TRENTON, Nov. 4-The New Jersey
Legislature swung from Democratic to
Republican control yesterday, emphasiz-
Ing the Republican landslide throughout
the country. The Senate, at the next ses-
sion, will stand II Republicans to 10
Democrats and the House 81 Republicans
to 2S Democrats. This gives the Repub-
licans a majority Of one in the Senate,
IL IN the House and is on Joint ballot.
The Republicans, in spite Of Governor
Fielder, will have practically a free hand
and opportunity to eliminate many of
tn eNtravagances which have crept into
the State Government since the advent
OF the Democrats. It is very likely the
recommendations Of the State Economy
and Eficviency Commission, fatty turned
down by the Democratic majority in the
Legislature last winter, will be taken
up at the next session and passed A
number OF legislative Investigations also
are in view.
The late returns Indicate the following
counties have returned total of 81 Re-
publican Assemblymen: Atlantic, Bergen,
Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumber-
land, Essex, Gloucester Mercer, Morris,
Ocean, Passaic, Salem and Somerset.
The Democrats are conceded % Assem-
blymen from Hudson, Hunterdon, Middle
SEX Monmouth, Sussex, Union and War
ren.
Salem County, which recently returned
Senator smick Democrat. has swung back
to the Republicans. Early returns gave
Union County to the Democratic sena-
torIal candidate. but later reports declare
Fierce, Republican candidate for re-elec-
tion, to be the successful candidate by at
least 500 majority.
In the eight counties electing Senators,
six, Camden, Essex, Gloucester, Salem,
Somerset and Union, elected Republicans,
while two countless Monmouth and War
ren, elected Democrats.
The lst District, normally Republican.
returned Representative Browning by
large majority. Camden County went
Republican by more than 6OOO Bacharach,
Republican, in the I'd District, where tho
Republicans were thought to be divided
because of the recent congressional pri-
mary fight, was easily elected. Scully,
Democrat, in the Sd, had n hard fight.
Hutchinson. Republican, In the 4th, won
over Walsh without difficulty. Capstick,
Republican, in the 5th. was heartily sup
ported by the Republicans and won out
1t looks as though Doctor Prince, Re-
publican, is defeated by Representative
Hart, Democrat, in the 9Th District. In
the 7th, Drukker has won. Gray, Repub-
lican, in the sth, had no particular diff
Guilty Gray was former secretary to
Ex-Governor Stokes. Parker Republican,
in the 9th Is a victor The 10th is claimed
by both sides. Egan and Hamill, Demo-
Gratis, in the 11th and 18th, respectively,
have been returned to Congress-
With Wilson's home county and district
against him, II Is believed the present
election will have an important bearing on
the Presidents chance of obtaining a
second term.

necticut returned to the Republican fold
today by making clean sweep. Frank
b. Brandegee was reelected United
States Senator over Governor Simeon E.

ing member of the Ways and Means Com

O'DONNELL SAYS IF THERE WAS GRAFT IN THE
BRLCKMAKERS' STRIKE HE DIDN'T GET ANY

Attorney w. y. thompson IOF the
federal industrial commits
sion put the straight question to
Simon O'Donnen, president Building
Trades Council, today:
''Was there any graft in the brick
makers striker"
O'Donne1 replied: ''No. If there
was didn't get any of it. -
Chairman Walsh took the witness
and the questions and answers were:
@. Does graft exist in the building
trades unions Of Chicago? A.
There may be some.
@. Have the unions done anything
to stop it? A. Yes.
@. What have they done? A.
Sometimes they have put officers out
of Office
@. Has that occurred in Chicago?
A. Yes.
@. Will you name for the commits
sion some officers and the graft for
which they were put out of office?
A. couldn't name any specific cases
just now.
@. Tell us what you know about
N1O4CuSC III Lc1DO1 anu
labor unions in Chicago. A. 1 have
represented labor organizations IA
years and have never known of any
violence.
@. Is that all you care to tell us
about violence? A. Yes, that's
about all.
O'Donnel said all officers in his or
ganization are elected by secret bal
lot of the members. Ballots are count
ed by judges and clerks appointed by
the chair. He disagreed with Atty
Thompson that judges and clerks Of
election should be elected by secret
ballot.
@. Do you believe in laws to pro-
tect the purity of the ballot among
citizens in city and state elections?
A. Yes, certainly.

Wl6r6 the members OF DullulnS
trades union were not protected in
their right to a secret ballot and
fair count? A. No, l have never
known of such a case.
Charles w. Gindele, president
Building Construction Employers
Assn, said unions are a good thing,
but there is too much one man power
and unions should be made financially
responsible for the acts of their bust
ness agents. E. M. Craig, secretary
of the same organization, also was on
the stand.
Men who work on the big boats
running on the Great Lakes don't get
married. That is, not many of them.
They have jobs only six to eight
months out of the year. The rest of
the time they rustic elsewhere for
jobs.
Victor Olander, secretary of the
seamen's union on the Great Lakes,
so testified before the federal indus
trial relations commission yesterday.
According to Olander, wives and
children cost more money than most
