sentatives remained in doubt until an
early hour yesterday morning when
the returns showed that the Repubn-
cans had finally won 225 seats the
pendents ], and Former -Laborites 1.
Nine districts were still unreported,
with the chances favoring the Demo-
Gratis in several of them.
Although there was no serious threat
of loss of control of the senate by the
| Republicans, the Democrats made q
net gain of sexen in that body. Nine
Republican senators were defeated and
two Democrats lost their seats. The
defeated Democrats are Hitchcock, of
Nebraska and Pomerine of Ohio. The
indications are that the Republicans
will have II majority.
There will be no women in the next
congress. Mrs. Alice Robertson, of
Oklahoma lost her seat and Mrs.
Winnifred Mason Huck, who was a
candidate for the uneXpired term of
her father, the late VIM. L. Mason, Of
Illinois, failed of reelection.
Alfred E, Smith, Democrat, was
elected governor of New York by
about 100000 majority over Nathan L.
Miller, Republican, and DIR. Royal S.
Copeland, Democrat, was elected Unit
ed States senator over Senator Will
liam NJ. Calder, Republican, incum-
bent. The Republican up state plu-
rality outside of New York was wiped
out for the first time in generation.
Meyer London, socialist. member OF
the house was defeated by Democrat
and the Republicans lost thirteen con-
gressmen to the Democrats in the
state. 'a.g
Senator Lodge, of MASSACHUSETTS,
had pretty close call, his majority
over CASTOR being at first reported at
less than 1000 but afterward turning
out to be S,425.
Senator Townsend, Republican, Of
Michigan lost to Former Governor
Woodbridge N. Ferris, the first Demo-
cratic senator to be elected from that
state for seyentv wars
Senator James A. Reed, noted an
tagonist of former President Wilson
on the League Of Nations proposition,
was reelected from Missouri, in spite
of active efforts on the part Of Wilson
to secure his defeat.
Mr. Volstead, of Minnesota, author
Of the famous prohibition enforcement
law was defeated by an Independent
still dryer than Volstead. Victor l..
Berger, Socialist, of Wisconsin was
elected to the house by large ma
jority. He has been elected twice be-
fore, and twice expelled because of his
conviction under the espionage act.
The supreme court however has re-
versed the courts below in his case
and this time he will be allowed to

A. H., Donahey, Democrat, has been
elected governor of Ohio over Carmi

act Of his life Is noted and every associ-

to note the important part Lincoln began
to take in them.
I'm February 1858, Lincoln was defeated
in his race for the United States Senate
by Lyman Trnmbull. All historians
agree that for the next five years while
he still had political aspirations, ne was
