CONGRESS HELD
BY DEMOCRATS

Washington, Nov. 4 Although
s. congressional districts were
still unheard from at noon today,
Democratic leaders were conf
dent that the administration
would retain control of congress
although the majority in the
House might be cut from its pres
ent strength of 141 to as low as
% or 80. After a conference of
national Democratic committee
officials at the White House with
President Wilson and Secretary
Tumulty it was estimated the
Democratic majority might posi-
bly, stand at 80.
The varying reports of the SEN
ate contests in Nevada, California,
Kansas and Colorado gave no pro-
mise of reducing the Democratic
plurality of ten. Reports to the
national Democratic committee
were said to indicate the election
of James D. Phelan of California
to succeed Senator Perkins, Re
publican, and the reelection OF

Senators NewlandS and Thomas in
Nevada and Colorado. In KanSsS
a close contest for the seat of Sen
atOr BriStOw seemed to be be-
tween Representative Neeley,
Democrat, and former Senator
Curtis, Republican. Returns were
meager and adherentS of Victor
Murdoch, Progressive, claimed
success.
AT noon with the s. congress
Sional districts missing, the cleo
ton of 1S5 Democrats, 1852 Repub-
licanS and three ProgreSSiveS was
reported. The present complexion
of the House is 2S5 Democrats,
129 Republicans, 10 ProgreSSiveS
and six vacancies.
The noon returns showed a
gain of 80 Republicans. 1t takes
21S for a majority in the House.
To fulfill the predictions of Demo-
cratic leaders of a majority of
thirty it is necessary for 6S of the
unreported districts to be Demo
cratic. They are claimed by the
leaders. Of the districts unre-
ported at noon, 81 are now held
Barton County democrat., 1914-11-06

by Democrats, 20 by Republicans
and 5 by PrOgreSSives. Should the
Democrats hold these 81 district
their membership in the next
House would be 235, a majority of

elect the present 20 incumbentS
their total gain would be seventy
seats.

said Postmaster General BurleSOn
after a conference with President
Wilson and other leaders during
which the returns were tabulated.
He claimed the Democrats would
control the next House by a ma
jOrity of between 20 and 40.
In a long distance telephone talk
between Roger Sullivan, Demo-
crat candidate for senator in ILL
nOis, and Thomas Pence, of the
Democratic national committee,
at noon, Sullivan claimed he had
been elected. By Up. m., the num-
Der of missing district had been
reduced to Is. The Democrats
had gained four votes, making
their total 1S9, and the Republi-
cans gained five votes, making
their total 167. The election of

Neeley'S headquarters have
what purportS TO be complete un-
official returns from all of the 105
counties. These totals give him
a lead over Curtis of just sixty
six votes.
Curtis headquarters dispute
these figures. Curtis claims to
have returns from 105 counties,
also, but admits that part Of his
are incomplete. He claims the
election by 1900.

CONTEMPLATION FROM PULPIT
Rev. DR.. James S. Montgomery L,k-
ems Ship to Evangel of Christ.

The Christmas ship received added
commentator from the pulpit yester-
day when Rev. DR.. James Shera Mont
gomery, in his morning sermon at the
Metropolitan Methodist Church. said:
THE Christmas ship is the voice of
God to the fatherless and homeless of
lands drenched in horrible war. What
an evangel of the teachings of the
Christ! What an expression of that life
for which the old world has been wait
ing sadly too long. Her flags, the
Stars and Stripes and the white flag,
on whose snowy surface will be the
single golden star, the star of hope,
prophesy of that day when peace shall
drop over the battlements of heaven
rather than from the battlefelds of the
blood-soaked earth.
THE motto of the Christmas ship
inasmuch compels allegiance and rev.
erence. 1t is a call to the old and young
to express the deepest and the best
that our beings can utter Childhood
especially is called upon to pay it's trib
ute to the homage of the greatest ideal
ever Overwhelmingly, service in His
name 1t foretells that day when the
blessedness of peace shall spread like
a curtain of light over the wide. wide
earth, which will come and possibly
soon. but in the future, most assuredly,
through the present-day childhood"
