PARTY LEADERS
 THINK TIDE HAS
 FINALLY TURNED
Victories in Virginia and New York Believed to Indi- cate House Will be
 Regained
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The Age Herald.
 800 Davidaon Huilding


 Washington, November 11.-(Spe- cial)-overwhelming victories iH Virginia and New York have stimu- lated the democracy of the national capital. Republicans, while antici- pating the general result, were en- tirely surprised by it's proportion.
 The chairman of the democratic na- tional committee, Judge Cordell Hull of Tennessee construes the victories as a positive indication that the tide has turned. He is especially elated in that New York city gave the dem- ocratic standard bearer the greatest majority ever given a democrat, whereas last fall it went overwhelm- ing for President Harding. It is also d morsel of satisfaction to him that democrats won so handsomely in Vir- ginia over a worthy republican, in duced to run by the Harding admin istration and adequately financed by the limitless republican exchequer. Certain democratic senators. among them Pat Harrison of Mississippi, are inclined to believe that the result in Virginia and New York makes cer- tain a reduction of republican ma jorities in both houses of Congress. Others, among them Senator J. Thomas TieInn of Alabama, declare convic- ton that the democrats will regain the House by working majority next fall.

FRENCH DELEGATES CALL UPON SENATOR
 LODGE AT HIS HOME
By Associated Press


 Washington, November 11.-M. Bri- and and M. Viviana of the French delegation called py appointment on Senator Lodge at his residence to- night and had conference of one hour and half respecting the arma- ment conference and it's probable course. Both later expressed satis- faction with the results of their talk. M. Viviani is an old acquaintance of Senator Lodge, but this was the first time M. Briand had had a conversa- tion of any length with the Senate leader.
 The busipess of the conference will be finished quickly" said M. Viviani afterward, adding that in his opinion the main business would be finished by December 15. although the detals would have to be worked out by the experts of the several delegations afterward.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-11-12

York was all the more remarkable in view of the fact that all the newspa- pers, democratic as we'll as republi- can, joined hands in attempting to supplant him by partisan re- publican. His victory was the largest ever scored, and his entire ticket rolled into office with him.
 In the municipal elections in the upper sections of the state, demo- crats held their own, it is indicated. Republicans find consolation over their appreciably reduced majorities in the legislature in the fact that they will retain majorities large enough to permit them to work without embarrassment.
 In Virginia, the republicans of na- tional prominence, made a real ef- fort to score victory. Henry W.. Anderson, their gubernatorial can didate was regarded as an able and honorable man. He was induced against his wishes, it is said, to run. Washington is said to have seen an- other victory in the south. Much money, if reports be true, was spent. An appeal was openly but unsuccess-
 
 such careful preparation and much mid election boasting as to the final result, democrats increased their hold throughout the state. and deprived republicans of the majority of the few seats they had held in the legisla- ture.
 Don't Want to Win
 There is an idea in Washington, and 1t IS not scorned by republicans, that as result of the congressional cleo tions next year, democrats will in- crease their strength in the House and will hold their own in the Senate. This would please democrats and not be displeasing to the normal repub- lican. For at present the republican majorities are so large as to be un- wieldy, and so unwieldy as to be un- controllable by party bosses.
 The republicans deny that the dem ocrats will recover the House next year. Their denial is probably well taken, democrats admit. And the democrats do not want to win the House next year.
 They want to go to the people in 1924, and bring a charge against the republican administration not suscep- tible of modification by repnbiican n apology that the administration was handicapped by democratic ma iority in one branch of Congress.
