 Elsewhere

 Washington, October 1s-tSpecial.)-Re gardless of the result of the coming con gressional eection-whether the demo. crats retain overwhelmingly control oi
 both branches or are pounded from ma jority into minority-several marked
 changes will be noted in the personne of the junior chamber on March 1, 1915
 when the sixty-fourth Congress will come into being. Several of the most promi- nent members of the House have resigned to accept appointments under the Wilson administration, others are slated for pro. motion to the Senate, a few have re- tired voluntarily to private life and others have been nominated for the Senate or state offices and are gambling on the flu ture-and those who lose can't "come back
 Naturally, the most conspicuous ap- sentee from the House will be Oscar w Underwood, chairman of the ways and means committee and democratic floor leader. Conversely, he will be the most prominent of the new senators to take seats in the senior chamber, and in short time he is expected to overshadow many of the veterans. Underwood's great work is known of all men, for as a citizen of ancient Tarsus said, Tt was not done sition as leader of the House, and he is mighty apt to take someone's place as leader of the Senate.
 HobsOn Will Also Disappear
 And with Underwood will disappear his recent rival, Richmond Pearson Hobson who lost the senatorial nominat ton by some 5000 votes and his seat in the House at the same time. Which, how ever, hardly assures the retirement of Hobson from public life; au contraire he probably will appear in the public prints With great frequency in the years to come.
 Since coming to Congress eight years ago, after retiring from the navy with g brilliant record, Hobson has been a figure Of prominence in Washington. Coincident With his entry in the House he opened a 1ght for greater navy and later took up the prohibition issue and fought the demon rum in all sections of the coun- try. He Is the author of the resolution
  tion-wide prohibition and is perhaps the most prominent opponent of liquor in the entire land. This fight Hobson will con. tinue, and it is highly probable that hs will make another race for the Senat, when the veteran Senator Bankhead mus enter the primaries for renomination.
 One of the picturesque members tc leave the House next March will be Au gustus Owsley Stanley of Kentucky noted for his forp h,oo <7l~ hat and his fight against the Steel cor poration. Like Underwood and Hobson he staked his political all in a sehatoria primary and was defeated by former Gov ernor Beckham, the man who becam governor of the Blue Grass state wheI William Goebel was killed 15 years ago
 Although he lost in close fight for tn, Senate, Stanley is not entirely out o politics, but probably will run for gov ernor next year, when 1t is more thai likely that Senator Camden will be hi opponent
 Hardwick Proved Winner Thomas w. Hardwick of Georgia fol lowed Underwood's example-he entere, the senatorial primary in his state an, won, and as the republicans in his stat are very sparse crop he is equally sur of election. As Stanley picked the Stee trust for investigation, so Hardwick SC iSetNd tiic od6dI trust dllO Wtnt aIIer l like catamount. Hardwick got his full share of the spotlight in the debate ol the Panama tolls repeal bill, when h. sided with the President and lambaste, Speaker Clark, who came back with peppery reply to his critics
 "As for the gentleman from Georgia Mir. Hardwick," said Clark in his mernor able speech, ''all I have to say is, 'Shoo fly, don't bother mel"
 The ly rod of to,, ,ol,t
 was used against Hardwick in his cam paign and still he is known in the Hous as "Shoo-fiy Hardwick.'
 Robert F. Broussard of Louisiana | known to the Frenchmen, Creoles ant Gains of his district as Cousin Bob because he is related to about half O them. also moves over to the Senate Broussard won notoriety by supporting Speaker Cannon in his fight against de | thronement from his position as Gear O the House" and was rewarded by Can non with a place on ways and means This honor he wore but ,a short time however, as Cannon was shorn of hi power and the democratic majority pain lessly extracted Broussard from the com | mittee as Cannon democrat. Three other prominent members of tn House are fighting for seats in the Senate
 but their future still Is in doubt. victo 1 WI UT uOth, tnc tdiiy -idli Cus Icu-tndiCuc' militant from Kansas. Is running as progressive against former Senator Curtis who defeated Senator Bristow in the pri | mary, and against George A. Neely, als a member of the House, who is the demo cratic nominee.
