afty-one districts missing give Smith
ss7 ,s42 votes, against whitman's total

There Is no possibility that the vote

As to the soldiers vote. to which
the Republican leaders have been
hooking for aid in overcoming Smiths
plurality, conservative estimates give
Smith not less than 50 per cent of

WILSON NOTE
COMMENDED
British Press Says Germany
Must Accept Military
Defeat.

London. Nov. e-Commenting on
President Wilson's note to Germany
the Westminster Gazette says:
1T implies that Germany shall
first, according to the forms Of war,
recognize military defeat before we
go on to the details of peace. That
we believe to be grim necessity. Ger

to say that the Germany army re-
mained undefeated in the great war.
We must go as far as We can to
the burden Of making the first ac-
acknowledgement of defeat, not upon a
government which can plausibly say
that it had no responsibility for the
the war, but upon the military CHIEFS
whose responsibility is open and ma
grant, II is for Germany to consider
whether by fighting on she can resist
these terms.
"The great battles of the last few

FIRE AT CAMP MEIGS
CUTS CORPS BARRACKS

An occupied barracks in the north
end of Camp Meigs was completely
Quilted this morning by a fire which
started at H:4s a. m.
The barracks is used as an off,
GERS training school and headquar-
ters for the Motor Cycle Corps. The
blaze could be seen from the city
and was quite spectacular affair.
The Camp Meigs fire brigade was call
ed out by the guards, and passed
water until the arrival of the fire
department.
Chief Wagner and Assistant Chief
Lannan stated that they thought the
fire originated from fire that was
left in stove that stood at the bot
tom of the stairs that lead up to
the second floor, Of the barracks. The
loss will amount to about 8, 500, and
the building will have to be built
over before 1t can be used again for

MANY RESULTS STILL IN DOUBT
Administration Leaders Recall the Ordeal of
Two Years Ago, Hoping Corrected Re-
turns Will Win Day for Them.

While refusing to concede control of either branch of Con-
sress to the Republicans the hopes of the Democrats
upon the basis of the latest available last night have
dpinded to the securing of tie the Senate and the
possibility of organizing the House with the aid of small group
of independents
With the trend of admittedly being away from the
Democrats the Republicans reteate with increasing confidence
their claims of having elected majority of members of the
Senate and House
The outlook this hour, the absence of conclusive
ports from three States, unqueonaby indicates that
President Wilson's deasm politics has peen accepted by
the American people
Republicans confidently regard the defeat of the Demo-
Gratis certainty and already perfecmg their plans for
the reorganization of both branches of Congress.
According to their figures, their minimum party strength
m the next Congress- compared the Democrats will be
as follows:
Republicans. 50; Democrats. 46. Total e6.

REPUBLICANS
WILLCONTROL
Returns Indicate Whiphand
in Both House and
Senate.

Control of the Senate and House by
the Republicans. which now seems
probable, according to the election re-
turns, means a complete reorganiza-
ton of the committees in each House,
and clean sweep in all the clerk
ships and other patronage jobs which
have long been held by Democratic
appointees
If the Republicans are able to or
sanize the Senate, they will elect Sen.
ator Curtis, of Kansas, president pro
tempore to succeed Senator Sauls-
bury. Senator Curtis held this post
tion in the last Congress in which
the Republicans had a majority. he
is now the Republican whip.
The New Speakership.
Representative Frederick H. Gillett,
of Massachusetts,, is the most likely
man to be chosen by the Republicans
to be Speaker of the House, succeed
ing Champ Clark. Mr.. Gillett has
been the Republican leader in the
House since James r. Mann, of ILL.,
nois, was compelled by i'll health to
depart from Washington early in the
present session. By all the prece-
dents of the House. Mann should be
the Speaker, but his health is said
to be such as to preclude him from
accepting the position, and the oner-
Gus duties it involves, and 1t is gen.
orally understood that he will waive
his rights to the Sepakership in favor
OF Gillett.
Gillett has had thirteen continuous
terms in Congress, having begun his
Nj. h0
surpassed by only one man in the
next Congress, that being Uncle Joe"
Cannon, who has served twenty one
terms.
Other Republicans whose names are
heard in connection with the Speak
ership are Nicholas Longworth, of
Ohio; ]. Hampton Moore. of Penn
sylvania, and Martin Madden, of IL
linois. Gillett is believed to have the
best chance because of his long serv-
ice and his present position as MI
nority leader.
Senate Control Shifts.
A shifting of control of the Sem
ate from the Democrats to the Re-
publicans would bring to the i'm
portant committee on Military AZ
fairs, Senator Warren of Wyoming,
father-in-law of Gen. Pershing. as
chairman to replace Senator Cham
beFlain of Oregon. Senator Pen
rose of Pennsylvania would succeed
to the Craftsmanship of the Finance
Committee, now held by Senator
Simmons of North Carolina. and
Senator Lodge would succeed Sem
ator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, as
chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee.
The chairmen of other important
committees probably would be as
follows:
Agriculture, Gronna of North Da-
kota; Appropriations, Smoot of
Utah; Banking and Currency, Nc
Lean of Connecticut; Commerce,
Nelson of Minnesota; District of
Columbia, Jones of Washington;
immigration, Colt of Rhode Island !;
