Representative Scott Ferris, who de-
feated Gore, telegraphed to friends IN
Washington today that his victory
over the Senator is sweeping. He said
that nc had carried virtually every
Democratic stronghold in the State.
Mr. Ferris is serving his seventh consec-
utive term in the House Of Repre- scnta-
tives. He was formerly chairman of the
Public Lands Committee of the House
and was chairman of the Democratic
National Congressional Committee IN
1918.
II breckenridge Long has been nomi-
mated by Missouri Democrats to succeed
Senator Spencer, as now seems certain,
Senator Reed will have received shock
no less distinct than that which he sus-
tanned when the Missouri convention
refused to send him as a delegate to the
San Francisco convention or TO allow
his Congressional district to send him.
Since being denied seat in the convention
Reed has been more venomous than ever.
He has been speaking oil over the State
against the President and against the
League and while he had large meetings,
he seems to have given his friend Priest
little or no help.
Altogether there were six candidates
in the field The showing of there of
these was comparatively neglible, the
contest in the closing days of the pri-
mary narrowing down to three-cor--
nered race between Long, Priest and
Charles M. Hay, of st. Louis. Both
Long and Hay took the pro-Lcague end
ofthe argument, whereas Priest, under
the tutelage Of Reed, proclaimed HIM
self an inveterate foe of the covenant.
Scarcely less important, however, than
the demonstration thus given of League
strength in Missouri, as politicians here
annlyze the returns, was the showing
made in both party primaries on the wet
and dry issue. Both parties, with the
liquor issue featuring prominently, nomi-
mated "drys" for governor, the Democrats
selecting John NJ. Atkinson, former chair
man of State Publice Service Commis-
sion and former Speaker of state House
of Representatives, and the Republicans
choosing Arthur NJ. Hyde, who, although
a former Hadey lieutenant IN State poll-
tics, has never held public office. Both
of these men ardently champoined the
dry end of the argument

mated pronounced vets.

cialists, boishevists and other
apostles of violent unrest. No ar
rests were made, but quantity of
inflammatory literature was seized,
groups of sullen idlers were dis
persed and warned against congre-

Officials here claim they have ac-
curate knowledge of the where
abouts of all the reds. A check up
shows that dozen or mote of the
leaders were absent from Chicago at
the time of the New York explo-
sion. All these men will be required
to explain just where they were and
what they were doing before and at
