REPUBLICANS GAIN
Sc rs IN HOUSE
Returns Indicate Democratic
Majority VIII be Wiped
Cut.

New York, Nov 8.--A republican
majority Of about 30 In the house OF
representatives. and a largely-reduced
/ democratic majority in the senate,
were indicated by early returns. Con
seryatige estimates. which would have
given the republicans 2l7 members as
against 215 democratic members, had
been modified by the returns from
New York state alone to give the re-
publicans 22O members.
Returns from Illinois indicated,
Judging from the figures on the presi
dental race. that the republicans
would make substantial gains in the
house
II will probably not be definitely
known just what the status of the
senate is until complete returns from
all states are compiled, but early re-
turns showed at east one gain which
had not been counted as sure by the
republican leaders. Scattering re-
turns from Maryland indicate that J.
Erwin France, republican. may beat
David j. Lewis.
If the early returns should be borne
out the republicans will have gained
seats east of the Mississippi in New
York, New Jersey, Maryland. Ohio
and two in Indiana, total of six
seats. The probable loss of one in
Delaware offsets the September gain
in Maine, so that the republicans will |
only have to gain two more seats for |
a tie in the upper house.
Republicans have high hopes of
gaining seats in the senate in Mis-
souri,. Nebraska. Montana Nevada and
The republican weak spots
are North Dakota, Wyoming and New
Mexico.

HUGHES MAJORITY
IN ILLINOIS 10000

Chicago, Nov. S.-Illinois is back in
the republican column, and by ma
jority sufficient to dispose Of any
grounds for argument Hughes has
carried the state by at least $50, 900.
Frank o. Lowden, for governor, has
defeated Edward F. Dunno. the demo
cratic incumbent, by about the same
figure.
The outstanding surprise in Illinois,
more especially in Chicago and other
big industrial centers, was the vote for
Hughes by. the workmen. Democratic
leaders had confidently expected that
the labor vote would go practically
solid for Wilson and Dunno. Repub-
licans would not concede this claim
but expected a majority of the work
ing peoples votes, especially the labor
union element subject to the influence
of Gompers, would swing to Wilson.
To the surprise of managers on both
sides, the labor votes appear to have
gone to Hughes. This explains why
Chicago has given Hughes majority.
when all calculations were based on
Wilson carrying the city by at least
$4,000.
Still another surprise was the big
vote given Hughes by the women of
the state Democratic managers had
claimed they were sure of big ma
jority of the women's vote on the "he
kept us out of war" argument. Repub-
lican managers admitted this would
have its effect. especially upon women
whose husbands and sons were Of mill
tary age or who would be subject to
call in case Of war few years
hence.
The returns show that the women
of Illinois look at conditions from
practically the same viewpoint as the
men. They appear to have gone along
with the men and the sole result is
greatly augmented total vote for the
state. with no change in the political

OUR FIRST FOREIGN WAR
Chicago JournaD


The first foreign war in which the
United States was engaged began 115
years ago, when TTipoli issued de-
claration of war against the new
world republic. The ruler of the pir-
atical African state had larger sums to
Algiers than to himself, and demanded
a greater annual tribute. This was re-
fused, and on June 10, 1907, he de-
clared war. An American squadron
under Commodore Richard Dale was
dispatched to the Mediterranean, and
was followed by squadrons command
ed by Commodore Morris and Commo-
dore Preble. The war continued UNI
til 1905, and was characterized by sew
eral feats of yalor reformed by Amer
lean sailors. The Bey of Tripoli and
other Barbary rulers, who had prey
ed upon the commerce of American
and Europe, were brought up with a
short turn. Prior to the Tripolitan
war the United States and France
fought several sea engagements, but
but war was not officially declared
and the difficulties were settled with
out recourse to open and avowed hos
tilities.
