and complete returns today empha-
sized the sweep Of the Republican
victories in various states In cutting
the Democratic majority In the house
from 141 to 10. the complete eclipse
of the Progressives also became
more apparent.
II the claims OF the Socialists
prove to be true, the Progressives In
New York have dropped from the
position OF the third party to the
fifth. The Socialists succeeded In
electing q congressman In New York

which would establish them well
ahead Of the Progressives.
Although Gaylord and Berger, the
