DEMOCRATS LOSE
LOWER HOUSE
OF CONGRESS
Control of Senate May Be Reduced
to Margin of Eight
INDEPENDENTS A BIG FACTOR
Progressive, independent, Socialist
and Socialist Democrats Represent
atives May Hold Balance of Power

New York, Nov, 9-The Democrats
will retain control of the United
States Senate by majority of not
more than twelve in the Sixty-fifth
Congress. according to late returns
last night. II may be reduced to
eleven.
Revised figures indicated that the
Republicans may take control of the
House of representatives, but by a
very uncertain majority. They prob
ably will have six more seats than
the Democrats, but there will be six
representatives classified as Progress
i've, Independent, Socialist and So
cialist-Democrat The last will be
George r. Lunn, former Mayor of
Schenectady, a Socialist who was in
dorsed by the Democrats
These miscellaneous representa-
tives will hold the balance of power,
unless the Republicans pick up
enough additional seats in districts
that are still doubtful to give them
majority over ali others.
The Republicans still hoped last
night to carry the Senatorial contests
in New Maxico and Arizona which
remained in doubt Victories for
them there would cut the present
Democratic majority of sixteen to
eight.
The Democrats lost four senators.
one each in Maine. New York. New
Jersey and Maryland, while they
gained one each in Rhode Island, Del
aware and Utah.
Late returns showed a Republican
net gain in the House of II seats,
overturning the present Democratic
Iced of 23. and making the Republican
majority-taking the miscellaneous
representatives into consideration
six
Among the most surprising results
were the election of Peter Goelt
Gerry, Democrat, over Senator Henry
+. Lippitt, the Rhode Island; the cleo
tion OF the Republican candidate for
Senator Dr. J. |. France, in Mary
land, and the defeat of Senator Du-
pont, in Delaware by j. O. Wolcott,
Democrat.
Democrats still hope for the cleo
ton of Senator John w. Kern, majori-
" leader in the Senate, and Thomas
Taggart, in Indiana, but the latest
returns seem to establish beyond a
doubt the victory of the Republican
candidates, Harry S. New and James
r. Watson
Another remarkable results was in
Utah, where Senator George Suther-
land, Republican, was defeated by
William II. King, Democrat.
In New Mexico the Democrats may
gain the seat held by Senator Catron
as their nominee. a. A. Jones, is
slightly ahead of Frank A. Hubbell
Republican.

WOMEN CARRIED WASHINGTON
Fair sex's Vote Caused Democratic
Victory.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. S.-Wood-
row Wilson can thank the women of
Washington for the seven electoral
votes which the State cast for him
For the first time in sixteen years
Washington has gone Democratic, and
the women did it.
Just how much effect the Demo
cratic slogan, He kept us out Of
war" had on the women of this State
is unknown, but it is certain that the
10000 to $1,000 plurality which Wash
ington rolled up for the President is
due to the woman vote.

Tacoma, Wash, Nov. S.-There
appears to be a possibility that, al

the seven electoral votes of the State,
The death of A. Stream. a Demo-

and the substitution of Il. NJ Connor
as eector came so late that in many
counties the name of Stream rather
than Connor appeared on the ballot
II is said that many voted for
Stream and that these votes will be
invalid The difference, according to
local Republicans, will be sufficient to
give one Republican elector a plur-

STORY OF BATTLE IN
LETTER WRITTEN FROM
 FRONT WITH ITALIANS

TREADwELL. March 4. - Telling story of battle that is very vivid, John Bellotto yesterday afternoon received a letter from his sister Miss Adelia Bellotto. who is Red Cross nurse on the battlefront somewhere in Austria"
 The letter states that she is with the Italian army in the Galore Alps and is seeing active service every day. For O while she was nurse in a field hospital. located In the rear of the lines in an abandoned farm house, but the hospital was destroy ed by two Austrian aeroplanes and the inmates barely escaped with their lives.
 She also gives an account Of @ two hour battle In the mountains in which the Austrians were routed. After the battle tho Red Cross corps, of which she is a member, went onto the field to pick up the wounded and were fired on by a com pany of the Austrian Alpine Jaeg- CTS. or huntsmen, who were hiding in wood on the left wing. At the first shot @ doctor was killed and the Red Cross corps lost in al three doc tors, one priest and sister of char ity, who were killed before @ bat talion of Italian Bersaglieri routed the Austrians.
 She calls .the Italian soldiers heroes and says the women of Italy are sor- ry they are not men so they could fight like their heroes" The Aus trians are little better than barbar. ians and unworthy to be called Chris tions. according to her letter. In con. clusion, she says she can't write of conditions as they are at the front as the censorship Is too rogId.
