ber Is. Final effort to secure its

Forces Combined.
Not withstanding adverse criticism
by the Crisis of the efforts Of Henry
Lincoln johnson the Georgia member
Of the Republican National Commit
tee, and Perry w. Howard. special
assistant to the Attorney General. in
trying to have the bill SO framed
when It was under consideration by
the House judiciary Committee that
It would be within the constitutional
limitations, James Weldon Johnson,
field secretary of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Col
ored People, called these men to aid
In having the measure taken up be-
fore adjournment
4 As result OF their combined ef-
forts, Senator Shortridge, Republican
of California, who has the bill in
charge, moved on last Thursday that
the Senate proceed to the considers
tion Of the measure. Although there
are sixty Republican Senators, when
the point Of no quorum was made,
there were only twenty-seven Sena-
tors in all answering the roll call.
six of whom were Democrats. Con-
spicuous among the absentees were,
Senators Henry Cabot Lodge, OF Mas
sachusetts, Joseph 7. Frelinghuysen,
of New Jersey. and T. Coleman Du-
Pont, Of Delaware, all Of whom are
pledged to the support Of the bill.
Protests Against Adjournment.
Just prior to the hour Of adjourn
ment on last Friday, Senator Suther-
land, Republican, Of West Virginia
protested against the adjournment OF
the Senate until action was had on
the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. He stat
ed that he was personally interested
"in the outcome Of the pending cleo
tions, being candidate for reelection
before the people of my State, and
regard It as important that should
90 to West Virginia for the purpose
of carrying on a campaign. believe
however. that It is Of more import
ance to the Nation that this bill
should be enacted into law than that
should have the opportunity to pre-
sent my case to the electorate Of West
Virginia, or that others of this body
similarly situated should do So" OF
course. his protest went unheeded.
It Is understood that Immediately
upon the reconvening of Congress,
the administration Liberian loan bill

these conditions, particularly relative
to rented quarters, will be ameliora-

The only remedy for these condi-

In the intermediate schools the

Such a program necessitates the

"Geneal dissatisfaction with the Re-

in the returns received up to this

"The early returns are from the East
and the middle West, where Democrat
ic candidates are generally leading, and
if these leads are maintained not only
will these sections record a victory,
but give promise Of nationwide re-
volt against the Republican party with
a restoration of the Democratic party
to power as far as it can be accom-
plished at this election. The Republi-
can party has failed the country ut

is that the people have decided to re-
turn to the party of performance,

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7.-Unofficial
returns from scattered precincts to-
night point to an overwhelming Re-
publican victory in to-days general
election, with United States Senator
Hiram W. johnson and Frank C. Jor-
dan, Secretary of State, running ahead
of the ticket. The race between Friend
W. Richardson. Republican, and Thomas
Lee sWoolwine, Democrat, for Governor
looks like victory FOR Richardson,
based on early returns.
Managers for all candidates claim
victory. Senator johnson and those
candidates who had no opposition for
state Offices together with eight Re-
publican. victories in eleven Congress
sional districts prove beyond all doubt
that a. protective tariff is popular in
California.
In two Congressional districts, the

won easily, for they also had the Re-
publican Endorsement. In the 9Th Dis
trict j.. H. MacLafferty, Republican, is

New Governor Elected by

i'm Next General Assembly
spsetat Dispatch to The tribune

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Clifford
Pinchot was elected Governor Of Penn
sylvania to-day by substantial
plurality. The entire Republican
state ticket achieved complete VIC
tory.
United States Senators George
Wharton Pepper and David A. Reed
were elected by large pluralties. On
the basis of early and scattered re-
turns Republican candidates cap
tured majority of the Congressional
districts which had been in doubt.
David j. Davis, Republican nominee
for Lieutenant Governor, with the
united support of the soldiers of the
state, was elected with an overwhelm-
ing figure over Robert E. Pattison.
Democratic nominee.
Complete returns probably will place
Davis at the head Of the Republican
ticket
James F. Woodward, Republican
nominee for Secretary Of Internal
Affairs, polled heavy vote and is
easily winner over A. Marshall
Senator Reed, who was opposed for
the term in the Senate ending March
4, 1927, by Representative william J
Burke, candidate of the Progressive
party, defeated Burke by large ma
jority.
Robert E. Gawthrop, Republican can
didate for Judge of the Superior Court
ran far ahead Of Henry G. Niles, the
Democratic nominee.
Normal Republican votes were cast
In the Senatorial and legislative
districts throughout the state. with the
result the next General Assembly will
be overwhelmingly Republican.
The Republican organization stood
firmly back of Pinchot throughout the
state, and indications are he carried
more than two-thirds Of the counties.
Philadelphia gave Pinchot and the en-
tire Republican ticket majority rang
ing between $4,000 and 10000.
Returns indicated that last-hour
rumors of fsdissatisfaction with the Re-
publican ticket upon the part of or
ganization leaders in various counties
were without foundation. This was
particularly true of Allegheny County
terests were voting heavily against
Pinchot.
The first returns from Allegheny
showed Pinchot was running far ahead
Of McSparran, the first seven election
districts giving him total Of sol tc
175 for McSparran.
Representative William S. Ware was
elected to the State Senate to succeed
his brother, the late Senator Edwin H
Ware, and he also was elected to Con.
gress from the list District.

Missouri by $4,000.

Democrat Reveals Unexpect-
ed Strength in, Doubtful
Counties and Polls Big
German and Wet Vote
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

ST. LOUIS, Nov. Incomplete re-
turns from scattered sections of Mis-
souri, late tonight indicate the re-
election OF James A. Reed, Democrat,
for United States Senator over R. R.
Brewster, Republican, by approximate
ly $4,000 votes.
Reed showed early strength in rural
Missouri and rolled up strong and con-
sistent gains as the returns came in
from sections of the state where it
was expected that he would not re-
ceive more than an even break. 1t
had been generally conceded that
Brewster would come into Kansas City
which would more than Offset the 30,-
600 votes Reed would pile up in the
two cities. Returns at this hour in
dicate that Reed has swept the coun-
try districts which were Democratic
strongholds and in addition made
strong gains in Republican bailiwicks
aaj settlements of German extraction.
Reeds greatest strength outside
Kansas City and ST. Louis came from
doubtful counties. In north Missouri
counties Reed suffered unexpected
losses, occasioned by bitterness en-
gendered by his fight on Woodrow
iisoh ana opposiIloh 10 MS wei sym
pathies.
Incomplete returns from Kansas City
and st. Louis indicate heavy gains fol-
Reed although the Reed forecast figures
for the two cities are lower than orig.
iIaly predicted.
The Democrats appear to have cap
tured more than one-half of the state'a
representation in Congress. The Re.
publican slump was due chiefly to dis.
satisfaction with the national and state
administrations On tax and industrial
questions. Labor unions apparently
swung their membership into the Dem
ocratic column. Another outstanding
feature of the balloting was the swing
to Reed in German communities in
which hostility to prohibition ran high.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 7.--Scattered

carry the state by approximately $4,000
votes.

parently given Ralston plurality OF

Democratic opponent, Joseph Turk, by

Lawrence Lyons, State Republican
Chairman, declared tonight that Bev-
eridge would carry the state over Rails

cratic headquarters were making a
similar claim for Ralston.
The results show that Beveridgs was
running far behind the Republican
figures of two years ago in laboring
districts. This was attributed to his
open attack on the Adamson act and
appeal for the abolishment of the La :

was from these precincts that the Re

the early lead gained by the Democrats
