CHAMP CLARK Defeated
Former Speaker, After 2s Years In
House, Beaten by Republican

st. Louis, Nov. 4.-Champ Clark, of
Bowling Green, Mo-, formerly speaker
of the House of Representatives, to
which he has been elected more times
than the average voter can remember,
has surrendered his post of honor to
T. w. Hukereide, of Warrenton, Mo-,
young Republican candidate in the
Ninth Missouri district. Mr.. Clark has
served his district in the House for
twenty five years.
Facing handicap of 5000 votes, with
FIVE sixths of the precincts in his dis
trict in-'ucluding Democratic strong
holds--Nlr. Clark last night sent a
telegram to Hukereide, congratulating
the Republican on his victory.
Two hundred and twenty of the 26S
precincts had given Hukereide a vote
of 30. .421 to Mr.. Clark's 1919 before
hackers of the incumbent admitted he
had fought losing battle. Even then
Mr.. Clark refused to talk to reporters.
He remained at home yesterday, con
fiGent of victory, while returns from
Republican counties piled up leads for
his opponent.
Not until his friends came to him
with virtually complete returns and as
surances Of defeat did the Clark house
hold believe he would be defeated.

WEDGE into SOUTH
Mississippi Towns Carried by
G. O. p. for First Time
in History
MAKE GAINS IN FLORIDA
BY the Associated Press

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 4. - Tennessee
and Louisiana were not the only states
in the "solid South" In which the Re-
publicans made unexpected gains In the
presidential election. "
Latest reports from Florida show
that Senator Harding carried a num-
bcr of towns in that state, including st.
Petersburg, Orlando and DaYtona. The
returns from the outlying districts are
coming in very slowly and Republican
leaders predict they will show further
gains. q,
For the first time in history several
towns and country precincts in the
Sixth Mississippi district gave Repub-
lican majoritics, the town including
Seminary and Runnels. Some coun les
in Alabama heretofore strongly Dem
ocratic also returned Republican ma
joritiee.
In the Congressional e eect'ons Rerre-
sentative Moon. Democrat. in the third
Tennessee district was defeated. Other
Tenness districts. tn fourth and ighth,
show that tn Republican candidates are
making a strong race. Democratic lead
ers declare the final returns will show
both districts safely Democratic, but
newspaper dispatches indicate an Of
fetal count may be necessary to decide
the result.
Should the Republican candidates
win. Tennessee's Congressional delega-
ton Of ten would be eoua ly divided
between the two parties. 1t now is COM
nosed of two Republicans and eight
Democrats. -

buying OF VOTES
IS DENIED BY VARE
Contractor Boss Says opposl-
ton Used Trickery II There
Was Any
HARMONY IS TURNED DOWN

4 denia, was made today by Sena-
tor Ware that the election OF Charles ].
Pommer, to City Council from the First
district, was purchased. as stated by
Harry and Joseph Trainer, adm'uistra-
tion leaders in South Phi'adelphia.
Senator Ware said: '"There Is not
the slightest truth in the statement OF
those two wc'chers. the Trainers, from
South Philadelphia. that the Pommer
election was purchased.
''If there was any buying done, It was
done by the other side, which seemed
to have plenty OF bootleg money.
THE vote stood 25 400 for Pommer,
and the regular Republican organiza
tion IN South Philadelphia 10000 for
Gallagher on a Democratic ticket. and
1000 for Gallagher on the Trainer
faxed South Philadelphia party ticket.
This shows that IL Gallagher had
not gotten on the Democratic ticket H.
'egally, he would have had 10000 votes
Ms. and the vote would have then stood
S. 400 for Pommer and the regular or
ganization. and 1000 for the opposition.
''In the neishNorhood in which Pom
mer was born aud had lived all his life.
namely, the First ward. he received
virtually unanimous vote; while In
the neighborhcod where Gallagher was
born and lived nearly all his life, Gal
lagher virtually received no votes Mt
all.
1.-THE Trainers got scant help from
the women; they well know the reason
why"
"The thorough trouncing that our
opponents got they were fully entitled
to for bringing religion into the cam
paign."
Moore leaders in the First district
have refused an invitation to make peace
with their opponents.
Another attempt to restore Ware
power by combining with the admins
tration forces" was the wav Joseph
Trainer described the efforts of Chair
man Watson, OF the Republican city
committee, to restore harmony.
Trainer said the anti-Vare forces in
the First district had suffered Only n
temporary defeat, and Gallagher, the
administration candidate for the Coun
Gil seat made vacant by the death Of
William f. Finley. had been beaten by
Pommer only because many voters feared
to inva'idate their ballots by splitting
their tickets.
Administration leaders look upon the
invitation of Watson to forget fac
tional fights as an effort coming directly
from the Wares to restore their waning
prestige bv forcing combination with
the administration.
'"The fight l. over" said Mr.. Wat
son. "I only hope the Republicans will
be able to get along better hereafter in
this city. No personal grievance should
exist. We should unite. II we are all
Republicans, we should all work to-
gether and not continually try to keep
apart.
"As chairman Of the Republican city
committee 1t will be my mission to make
this great Republican party the basis
for harmonious action all along the
line, which will make 1t successful for
years to come

ABANDON NEWsBOYS' CLUB
St. Stephens p. E. Church Forced
to Give Up Project

Owing to inadequate housing facili-
ties, officials of st. Stephens Episcopal
Church have been compelled to abandon
the Newsboys' Club which they had
conducted in their community house for
more than a year. Lack of money was
also ascribed as secondary reason.
The classes were founded by the Rev.
Frederick Keeble, assistant rector Of the
church, in the hope that some provision
could be made for the homeless news
boys of the city. Various games were
placed at their disposal and lunch at
cost was provided them.
A carpentry class was formed, but
the only place to conduct 1t was on the
stage Of the auditorium. This was
found to be very difficult with q boys
brigade company drilling on the floor
below. 1t was also found to be difficult
to conduct classes consisting of older
and younger boys and preserve amicable
relations.
So, despite the good accomplished,
DR.. Keeble said 1t was necessary to
abandon the project and the $50 boys
of the club will have to sleep in tho
streets, as heretofore until somebody
can find n way to provide for them. y

From Australia to Norristown, Pa,
to vote for Harding.
Robert Stinson, twenty one year .old
son Of G. Henry Stinson. holds the
record for distance covered and amount
of actual expense incurred to permit
the casting Of vote for Harding and
Coolidge.
Twenty -four thousand miles by
steamship and rail--an outlay In excess
Of S1OO0-forty days to cover half the
trip--these are just few Of the items
concerning the first presidential vote
cast by the son of one of the best known
Montgomery county lawyers.
"And," said his father this morning,
"cheap at that price, and well worth It.,
too. OF course, we were mighty glad
to see the boy, but the vote was the
real thing. Maybe Harding didn' really
need it-but that doesn't figure in the
matter at ALL"
Young Stnson is a real chip off the
old block. For years there hasn't been
campaign in which the father hasn' t
figured, and he hasn't confined his ef-
forts to being a mere voter, either-he
has held Office in Montgomery county
ut different times, and was mentioned
in the filling of judgeship some time
ago. When the big war broke the
younger Stinson wanted to get into
