National Results

Early indications are that the House
Of Representative viii he controlled
by the Itepubicans who will likely have
II majority OF at least i6
The contests which will decide the
political complexion OF the Senate are
very close The known results give the
Democrats 46 and Republicans AZ.
In Michigan the race between Henry
Ford and Truman II. Newberry was so
close that it was said an official count
might be required to decide the winner
Both parties were claiming the state
In Idaho. where 74,0S0 votes out OF
an estimated total of $4,000 had been
counted, Senator Nugcnt, the Demo
cratic candidate for reelection, was
leading Frank H. G0oding, the Rcpub-
iiCan candidate, by n little more than
300 votes. The result is in doubt
In our own state the contest will be
close bciwepn Fail and Walton with
indications pointing 10 the fact that
Republican nominee has the best Of II.
Control Of Senate Important
With the house firmly in the hands
Of the Republicans control of the
senate Is more important than ever to
the Democratic administration. If the
administration can retain control of
