New Jersey Elects Demo
Government - Tam
many Race Close.

New York, Nov. 5.-More COM
plete returns today on the off-year
elections yesterday in several
states did not change the outcome
In any important respect. The
smashing victory of Calvin Cool
fdge, Republican, in Massachusetts.
reelected to succeed himself as
governor by the largest vote ever
polled by a gubernatorial candi-
date In that state, shared honors
with an almost equally decisive
dry" victory in Ohio, as the most
striking result of the voting.
Leaders Watch Drift
AS a possible indication of the
drift of popular sentiment prepara-
tory to the national elections next
year, yesterdays results were be-
ing closely scrutinized by party
leaders. Kentucky swept into the
Republican fold in the governship
fight but today's returns made it
certain that New Jersey had re-
verted to the Democratic column.
Maryland, the only other state in
which there was a serious contest
for the governship, was still in
doubt. with the Democratic candi-
date leading.
Use Local Issues.
| Local issues complicated the
fight In at least two states. In Mas
sachueetts, the police strike at
Boston. was said to underlay the
fpurely party division at the polls.
Richard H. Long, defeated Demo-
cratic candidate, had appealed to
the labor vote, while Governor
Coolidge stood squarely on his rec
ord In dealing with the Boston DO

In New Jersey, Edward /. Ed.
wards, Democrat, running on q
wet" platform had an apparently
safe lead Of almost twelve thou
sand over Newton A. K. Bugbee,
Republican, but the legislature
will be Republican by narrow
margin.
|. Kentucky Breaks Away.
The defeat Of Governor James
/, D. Black, for reelection in Ken
tucky, where Edwin P. Morrow. his
Republican opponent was credited
ttQday with a plurality approaching
10000, probably will be more dis
cussed than any other state result
by the party state managers, who
had their eyes fixed on next years
campaign. Democratic majorities
were upset in some parts Of the
state.
Republicans will also control the
lower house of the Kentucky legis-
lature. while the Democrats will
control the senate.
The wet and dry issue also cen.
tered in the Kentucky contest, q
statewide prohibition amendment
apparently having been defeated
decisively.
Lee NJ. Russell, Democrat, was
elected governor Of Mississippi by
the usual majority. The legisla.
ture will be solidlv Democratic.

PREPARATIONS.

SECTION THE allied and as
sociated governments affirm, and
Germany accepts the responsibility
Of herself and her allies, for causing
all the loss and damage to which
the allied and associated govern
ments and their nationals have been
subjected as a consequence of the
war imposed upon them by the
aggression of Germany and her al
lies.
The total obligation of Germany
to pay, as defined in the category of
damages. is to be determined and
notified to her after a fair hearing
and not later than May l, 1921, by
an inter-allied reparation commits
sion. At the same time a schedule
of payments to discharge the OBJ
legation within thirty years shall be
presented. These payments are sub
ject to postponement in certain con-
tingencies. Germany irrevocaDly
recognizes the full authority of this
commission, agrees to supply with
all the necessary information and
TO pass legislation to effectuate its
findings. She further agrees to re-
store to the allies cash and certain
articles which can be Identified.

FINANCE.

Powers to which German terri
tory is coded will assume a certain
portion of the German pFe-war
debt, the amount to be fixed by the
reparations commission on the
basis of the ratio between the
revenue and of the coded territory
and Germany's total revenues for
the three vars preceding the war.
In view, however, of the special cir
cumstances under which Alsace-
Lorraine was separated from
France in 1871. when Germany re-
fused to accept any part of the
French public debt. France will not
assume any part of Germany's pre-
war debt there, nor will Poland
share in certain German debts in
CURED for the oppression of Pol
and. If the value of the German
public property in coded territoy
exceeds the amount of debts as
sumed, the states to which property
coded give credit on reparation for
the excess, with the exception of
Alsace-Lorraine. Mandatory powers
will not assume any German debts
or give any credit for German gov
eminent property. Germany re-
nounccs all right of representation,
on or control of. of state banks,
commission or similar International
financial and economic organiZa-
tions.

PRE-WAR DEBTS.

A system of clearing houses is
to be created within three months,
one in Germany and one in each
allied and associated state which
adopts the plan for the payment
of pre-war debts including those
arising from contracts suspended
by the war for the adjustment of
proceeds of the liquidation of en-
envy property and the settlement
of other obligations. Each partici-
pating state assumes responsibility
for the payment of all debts owing
by its nationals to nationals of the
enemy states except in cases of
pre-war insolvency of the debtor.
The proceeds OF the sale of private
enemy property in each pdrticipat-
ing state may be used TO pay the
debts owed to the nationals of that
state. direct payment from debtor
to creditor and all communications
relating thereto being prohibited
Disputes may be settled by arbi-
tration by the courts of The debtor
country or by the mixed arbitral
tribunal. Any allied or associated
power may, however, decline TO
participate in this system by Civ
ing Germany six months notice.
