Great Interest CenterS Today In
Elections Which Will Determine
Complexion Of the Next House

Senate already are virtually elected.
The latter include Senators Bankhead
OF Alabama, Robinson of Arkansas,
Ransdell of Louisiana, Simmons of
North Carolina, Sheppard Of Texas
and Martin Of Virginia. Also In the
same status are W. J. Harris, nomi
mated to succeed Senator Hardwick of
Georgia, Representative Pat Harrison
nominated to succeed Senator varda-
man of Mississippi; Edward J, Gay
OF Louisiana for the unexpired term
OF the. late Senator Broussard, and N.
B. Dial and W. P. Pollock Of South
Carolina, for the long and short terms
respectively, for the seat held by the
late Senator Tillman
All of these are without Republican
opponents except Senator Simmons.
Virtually all the Democratic candl-
dates for the House in the Southern
States, and also score Of Republican
candidates in northern and western
States, are without opposition. Con-
tests in many other congressional and
Senatorial districts also are regarded
perfunctory, with nominal opposition
being made.
Chief interest In today's results Is
centered in contests for House seats
principally In Ohio, Indiana, Wiscon-
Gin, Nebraska, Kansas, California New
Jersey and few districts in New
York and New England, Massachu-
sets, Nevada, Montana and Wyoming
Democratic leaders have waged
their campaign especially to make
gains In the Senate from Michigan,
where Henry Ford, the millionaire

OF the Navy; from New Hampshire,
where Senator Hollis, Democrat. is

Washington, Nov. 5.-Millions OF
Americans today are casting their
ballots in elections which will decide
whether the Democratic party is to
retain control of Congress; In many
States they are electing governors and
in practically all States are electing
local officers.
Today's election, the first since the
United States went into the war
comes as the climax of campaign
which has been attended by many un'
usual elements. The Allied successes
in France, German peace offensive
the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign
and the influenza epidemic all have
divided the attention Of the public a,
the same time.
Leaders of Democrats and Republic
ans have declared they are confident
of success In today's battle of ballots
Those of the lesser organizations also
are hopeful of gains.
Being elected today, in the contest
for control of the next Congress, are
in all 435 members of the House oI
Representative from all States Of the
Union except Maine, whose elections
were held last September, as we'll as
40 United States Senator'S In thirty
three States.
The outcome generally is regarded
as close. Representatives in the low.
er body, delegates from the four terri
tories-Alaska, Hawaii, the Philip
pines and Porto Rico-also arc to bt
chosen, although they have no votes
How close is the contest for contro
Of Congress is apparent from the
present lineup in the House and Sen
ate. The membership Of the House
now is: Democrats, 215; Republicans
zoe; Progressives, Q; Independents, 2i
Prohibitionists, 1; Socialists, 1; fv'
seats vacant-total 435.
There are So Democrats and "A Re.
rublicans now in the Senate.
The principal Democratic argument
of the campaign had been that Presi
dent Wilson should have Congress
of his own political faith 70 insure CO
operation. This the Republican
spokesrnen have opposed with the ar
gument that Republicans in Congress:
have loyalty supported administration
