FLOOD REASSERTs CLAIM

Washington November 1-Chairmaa Flood of the democratic national con- Sressiopal committee issued a state- ment tonight reasserting his claim that the democrats would overturn the re- publicans in the House. and adding the prediction that the democratic mem bcrs would be elected in Idaho and Washington as well as in the states previously mentioned in claims of gains
 Referring to the election prediction of last Sunday by Chairman Fess of the republican congressional commit tee Mir. Flood said this was "the most gjaring" of many striking examples of republican misrepresentation and mis- statement"
 He says the republican gain of twenty members in certain states will result from gains of one member each in Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Michigan and Nebraska" Mir Flood said. MT. Fess apparently does not know there are now four republican members of the House from Maine Where would he make a gain of one member from that state as he pre- diets?
 Evidently he is ignorant of the fact there are now six republican members Of the House from Nebraska How could he gain there as he asserts?
 Continuing his wild claim MT. Fess says the republicans will gain two members each from California, Kansas and Ohio and three members each from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. If the republican chairman had cared to inform himself before he made this ridiculous statement he would have learned that the Kansas delega- tion now consists of seven republicans and but one democrat. Where does the eminent doctor figure he will gain two members of the House in this delega- tion?"

CONGESTION INEvITABLE

Richmond. Va, November With a
 total of 35,000 qualified voters on the
 pell books. which includes the woman vote, indications point to total >vote in the city not exceeding 10000 made quate facilities at the polling precincts for handling the increased vote is the
 reason. Congestion at the polls every where in the city is inevitable.
 Managers of the local democratic or ganization claim that the increased cleo torate means greater majority than ever for Cox and Roosevelt and the democratic nominee for United States senate and house of representatives. The , republican managers. on the other hand are claiming an enormous reduction of the normal democratic majorities. They claim large accessions this year to the republican party and assert that at least 50 per cent of the women will vote for Harding and Coolidge.

final decision in this case would affeat all companies. If the state wins, all companies will continue to pay the tax. If it loses, the state treasury will re- fund all money paid in as tonnage taxes.
 Information that the company had ap- pealed caused general comment around the capital because of the maintenance of state troops in the mineral district by the state government. An investiga- ton showed that the coal companies paid into the state treasury as tonnage taxes during the last fiscal year aetotal of s312,- 64943, or approximately $850 a day. Rec ord of the state military department shows that the maintenance of the troops in the mineral district is costing the state more than s40,000, or approximately A,16e day.
