West swings Back.
The Vest, which pulled Mr.. vii,
son through in 1916, has shown un-
mistakable signs of returning to its
old allegiance. Not even the eleventh
hour diplomatic developments, appar-
emily foreshadowing the returns of
peace, were sufficient to keep down
the rising tide Of Republicans
through the nation, as shown plainly
in the return from many States.
The present Senate stands fifty
two Democrats and forty-four Repub-
licans. The next Senate, from the
incomplete returns, would appear to
stand fifty-one Republicans to forty
five Democrats. The present House
stands 214 TO a0T, the next House
will stand Republicans, 237: Demo-
Gratis, JOS, Republican margin of
thlrty-nine votes.
This will ne the first time the Re
publicans have controlled the House
since 1910 1t means the election of
IL Republican Speaker, probably Rep
resentative Glllett OF Massachusetts,,

Michigan taking the majority floor

artificer of the tax bill.

| gained Senate seats in New Hamp-
! shire, Illinois, Kansas and West Nir-
ginia. with indications Of another seat
possibly gained in Missouri and
still another in Colorado. But they
seem to have lost in Massachusetts,
where ex-Gov. Walsh, after a hot
campaign, appears to be pulling out
ahead of Senator Weeks. The Repub-
leans were counting on holding this
seat. Lewis appears to have been
beaten in Illinois, though not by the
plurality which Medill Mccormick ex-
pected to roll up.
New Hampshire has returned ex-
Gov. Moses, Republican, for the seat
held by Senator Hollis, Democrat.
The Missouri result appeared In the
nature of a surprise, as eX-Gov. Folk,
the Democrats believed, would win
easily. On the contrary the returns
indicate a very close race. with the
result favoring Republican victory

Foik5-Sane Lullaby to Baby in
Audience--New York Herald's

the Kansas City Star, has fussy
disagreeable disposition, and delights
in finding fault and making the peo-
pie about her uncomfortable, it is the
polite thing to say that she has
temperament Alice Nielsen is one
of the few who is not 50 afflicted
She is just like home folks, and YOU
don't have to talk to her five minutes
to be convinced that she would be
perfectly happy out in the kitchen in
a long apron making fudge"
Miss Nielsen, both on and off the
stage. has the happy care-trec dis
position of a girl still in her teens
and untroubled by her outlook on
life. And how she can talk. Well.
the easiest way to express it is that
she is talking all the time, and that
isn't meant as criticism. She SIM

agreeable. and pleasant, every min
ute of the time"
when she 1uttered off the stage
at the Auditorium, after singing the
lullaby 'Wiegenlied,' which was SO
heartily encored by the audience,
Mr.. w. +. .adair took the opportun-
ity to compliment her on her rendi-
ton of it. DO you know why | sang
il so WE'LL she said. I just couldn't
help it, Did you see that man carry
ing that baby up in the balcony? I
saw him as soon as l stepped on the
stage and | sang that lullaby just to
that baby"
OF Miss Nielsen's New York en-
eagement the Herald said: alice
Nielsen sings as the birds sing, with
out effort, clearly. sweetly, every note
perfect She sang-but why try TO
tell how she sang. in words? She is
wonderful, and her voice, if possible
is more wonderful even than she is.
Everybody in her audience loved her
and were terribly proud because she
is an American. and equally as proud
that they are Americans because she
is an American."-A
