Senator Lodge of Massachusetts
just managed to weather the storm
His plurality over CASTOR was about
8,OO0-a fourth of what 1t was in
1916. w. N. Ferris, who defeated
Senator Townsend in Michigan, an

Senator Newberry.
Irrespective of partisan feeling
there will be widespread regret over
the defeat of Senators Kellogg of
Minnesota and Poindexter of Wash
ingtOn, for both have proved them
selves able, honest and Industrious
servants Of the people. The same
may be said for Hitchcock of Nebras-
ka. Senator James A. Reed Of Mis-
souri,, who was repudiated by his
party two years ago, goes back for
third term with majority of $4,000.
Shortly before the election former
President Wilson wrote a letter say

the election. Illinoisans voted two to
one for amendment of the Volstead
act to permit beer and light wines;
California defeated the proposed state
enforcement law; Massachusetts re-
jected a proposal to harmonic the
state prohibition law with the federal
enforcement act; Governor Edwards

On the other hand, the drys won a
test vote in Ohio by 100000, and their
leaders insist they win still control
congress. While Volstead was retired,
the man who beat him, Rev. o. j.
Kvale, Independent, says he is "drier
than Volstead." However, Volstead
will normally be succeeded as chair
man of the judiciary committee by
Graham Of Pennsylvania, who is de-
cidedly liberal in the matter of pro-
hibition.
1t was sad day for the once weak

for seats in the senate and house,
only one was elected, and her term
will end on March next. She is Mrs.
Winnifred Mason Huck, who will fill
out the unexpired term of her father,
the late Congressman-at-Large Will

as Representative Alice NJ Robert

sumed power there, and the allied
high commission accepted the new
regime. But about the same time the
Angora government demanded that
the allied troops be removed from the
city at once, stating that its occupa-

The nationalists also announced that
foreign warships could not enter the
straits without permission and then
only one at a time, and that
only one vessel of each nation should
be stationed at COnstanrinople.
These demands were firmly rejected
by the ahIed high commission, the
