ary increase Of s$265,000,0o0 in the
public debt during October, the treas

progress. in its reduction from the

statement.
Since the peak of August 81, 1919,
he said the debt had been reduced to
S22,812,O00,000 on September so,

from time to time, however, as a re-
suit of borrowings for refunding pur-
poses, and temporary deficiencies in
the current revenue. This was the
case in October, he declared, when
there was a temporary increase in the
debt as a result Of refunding opera
tions involving the issue Of S50O,000,-
900 Of treasury bonds, and excess of
current expenditures, arising from

IEAC()ERS ELECTED
FIVE S. SENATORS
Victories In Many Western States
Reported BY National Leader.
FARMERS NONPARTISAN
LEAGUE COMES BACK

In it's issue Immediately after the
election The National Leader, official
magazine of the Nonpartisan league
summarizes the election results in
League states as follows:
q. Henrik <Shipstead, the Farmer
Labor candidate, has defeated Senator
Kellogg in Minnesota. How great a
victory this is can. be grasped when
we recall that Minnesota is the head
quarters Of reaction in the West, and
that the League farmers and workers
have been trying for six years to
break. through. Kellogg hackers
counted on the farmers being discour-
aged, or they would have nominated
a better vote getter. Shipstead ran on
a Farmer ticket too.
"2. The early vote indicates that
B. K. Wheeler, indorsed by the farm
ers and workers Of Montana on the
Democratic ticket, is a sure winner.
This result also is remarkable because
of the hold which the copper trust
has had on that state.
"3. Colonel Smith w. Brookhart,
nominated by the organized farmers
and workers of Iowa in the Republi
can primary, has a wide margin over
his Democratic opponent indorsed by
Iowa G. O. p. and recommended by
the father Of President Harding.
a. R. B. Howell, public ownership
advocate, who won the spectacular vic
tory in the Nebraska Republican pri-
maries comes through an easy victor
over the reactionary Senator Hitch
cock. Bryan, our candidate, has won
the governorship.
"5. Progressive Republicans, led
by La Toilette, in Wisconsin have won
everything OF Importance. Victor Ber
ger, Socialist candidate for congress
in Milwaukee, is also an easy winner.
Mr.. Berger was twice expelled from
congress by the dominant faction
which feared his vote and which want
ed to demonstrate their alleged pa
triotisrn.
"6. In Oklahoma farmer-labor can
didates who captured the democratic
primaries have carried everything be-
fore them in the election. Only one
lone Republican congressman appears
to have survived.
"7. Congressman C. C. Dill run
ming on the democratic ticket for u.
S. senator with League and labor in
dorsement has retired the notorious
senate reactionary, Miles Poindexter.
'f8. The League farmers have sue
ceeded in electing farmer governor,
Johnathan Davis in Kansas.
"8. In Colorado they have elected
a governor and two congressman.
"10. Frazier is elected in North
Dakota by 5000 majority"
BIG BIZ STUNNED
The Press Of the country in gen.
eraI recognizes the surprising turn Of
events in the League states. And the
Washington politicians are stirring
themselves to do something that will
win the independent, progressive west
for one party or the other in 1924.
Administration Policy Changes.
Important changes in administration
policy are forecast because the
League senators and congressman hold
the balance of power between the de-
mocratic and G. 0. P machines. Rural
credits legislation is almost certain
and changes in federal reserve board
policy are likely.
