CHAMP CLARK HAS CLOSE
RACE FOR REFLECTION

Victor Berger Is Elected
To Lower House.

Chicago, Nov. 6.-Republiean gains
in middle western states were indi-
Gated by congressional and senatorial
feturns today,
Representative Mcdill Mccormick s
victory over Senator James Hamilton
Lewis provided the only important
shift in the national legislative bal
ance in Illinois. Backed by President
Wilson'S personal endorsement, Lewis
rolled up handsome majority in Chi
eago, which Mccormick overturned by
an unprecedented majority down
etate.' Illinois party congressional
representation remains numerically un-
changed.
The status of Speaker Champ Clark
was uncertain today. Republican lead
ers joyfully claimed that Judge Dyer,
republican, has defeated the speaker,
but latest returns show the race very
Close Clark leaders expressed conf
dence. 1t appeared that complete
count would be necessary for a decis-
aan.
Former Representative Victor i. Ber-

Nebraska
Governor Arthur Capper gave the re-

Norris, republican, triumphed over
John Morehead, who had been endors-

congressional gain for the republicans,
.i3elden Spencer apparently has over
turned all predictions by defeating
Joseph Folk for Senator Stones seat.
There was little change in the SEN

UNITED STATES SENATE
Chance For Spirited Fights
Over Peace Program In
Spring.
BY L. @. Martin.
United Press staff eorrespondent.l

(UHlteU IreSS SldIl coilcopuHucii.J M
Washington, Nov. 6.-Tuesday IS
congressional election. on the face Of
early returns, bids fair to inject a new
and interesting element into the
American-allied peace program.
Republicans have been outspokenly
against several of President Wilson S
fourteen peace terms. These peace
terms, with reservations, have now been
adopted by the allies as the basis of
peace. ANY peace treaty must be rati.
fled by two-thirds of the senate, SO if
republicans control they could force
amendment of any peace program.
Republican victory, ~ the face of
President Wilson S direct appeal to the
people for vote of confidence, is con
strued by republican leaders as endorse
ment of their views on the president IS
formula.
Republicans claim fifty senator's, for
ty-nine being a majority.
"We expect to have at least fifty
senators and d majority of not less than
twenty in the house." said James M
Reynolds, secretary OF the republican
national committee
At democratic headquarters early to
day senate control was still claimed
with majority of +" from two to
FOUR
In republican senate, Lodge, Massa.
ehusetts leader, would head the foreign
relations committee, which handles all
treaties and reports on them to the
senate Other republicans on this com
mittee, who, like Lodge, have registered
violent opposition to some of the pres
ident IS peace terms, include Brandegee
Connecticut; Fall, New Mexico, and
McCumber, North Dakota.
If the war should last until the new
congress meets on March next, ppure
would be good chance of spirited bat
ties over the peace program the presi-
dent has formulated.
With the passing Of democratic con
troll, Representative Kitchin, North Car
olina, would lose the chairmanship OF
the house ways and means committee
and Senator Simmons would lose the
chairmanship Of the senate finance
committee. These two committees
frame all revenue legislation. Represen.
tative Fordney, Michigan, as ranking
republican member of the ways and
means committee, would become chair
man, while Senator Penrose would head
the finance committee.
Representative julius Kahn, Califor

Pacific northwest states will change
their total representation in Washing
ton.
Gooding may win by small margin,
in which case the republicans will have
one seat in the senate. In the other
states no change in party voting
strength seems probable,
The republicans apparently gained
one congressional seat in Washington,
but this was offset by the seeming
gain of one seat in Montana by the
democrats.
Oregon and Idaho remained strictly
republican if early returns indicate
the result.
Oswald West, democrat, has fight

Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1918-03-28

A new high record mark has
been made each month for the
past three successive months.
During February, regardless of
the fact that it was a short
month, IT'S mon were enlisted.
Civilian Recruiting Committees.
and Army recruiting officers are
more than busy rounding up re-
cruits and getting them into the
service. The advent of Spring
has been a boon to the recruiters
and they are taking full advan-
tage of it to canvas the territory
surrounding their districts.
An especial appeal is being
made to woodmen in the north
ern part of the state, and a
great many ''lumberjacks" have
answered the call. They will be
largely assigned to Forestry reg
iments, armed with double-bit
axes and turned loose among the
big timber, where they will be
right at home, doing the work
they have always done, at
equally good wages, while serv-
ing their country.
The demand for mechanics
chauffeurs and gas engine men
is still urgent. Training schools
are being opened for them in all
parts of the country, and the
men are being assigned to the
schools as rapidly as possible.
The school recently opened at
the Overland building, midway
between St. Paul and Mime
apolis, will soon be training 5000
mechanics for the Aviation Sec
tion, Signal Corps.
Over so percent of the men
being enlisted are between the
ages of 18 and 81. The younger
generation seems imbued with
war fervor, and enlistments dur
ing the next few months, espe-
cially after the school year
closes are expected to be very
heavy.
