should tell you, how his appointment
was brought about, as 1 was present
at the time. The President requested
three citizens to call at the White
House to aid him, if possible, in his
effort to select the right man for
Commissioner. None of them had a
name to suggest. which seemed to
puzzle the President considerably.
After some further conference the
President remarked. or rather asked
the question, How can you expect me
to find the best man for the position
If you prominent and well known
residents cannot?" The answer was
However, one of the gentlemen call
ing suggested the name of well
known and highly respected newspa-
per correspondent, with whom, it
happened, the President was well ac-
quainted. NO" he said, "he will not
do; he has done fine work in his pro-
fession and has been successful, but
he Is too old now to assume such a
responsible position"
The President, after a few moments
reflection. asked: Now that you have
suggested a newspaper man. al, l,e, how
brought forth from each one present
expressions of Mr.. Macfarland's high
character and general esteem In
which he was held in Washington.
The President had word telephoned
to Mr.. Macfarland. who was then at
the Capitol. as was his habit, when
Congress was in session. that the
President wished to see him at the
White House at once. requesting the
callers to remain until Mr.. Macfar-
land arrived. In the meantime
general conversation took place rs-
gardtng some District affairs, IN
which the President became quite in-
terested.
Upon the arrival Of Mr.. Mcfarland
there probably never was more sur
prised man than he. After expressing
his appreciation feehngiy in regard
to the honor being conferred upon
him, Mr.. Mcfarland asked to be given
time to consider whether he could ao-
cept the position. Finally, Thursday
was dxsd as the day for . reply. On

DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN
 SATISFIED WITH RESULTS

Washington, Nov. dissatisfaction, was expressed by Cordell Hull. chair man of the democratic national com mittee, in a statement tonight on the suits of the election.
 Tn the name of the democratic na tional committee" he said. T congrat- ulate the loyal democrats and the in dependent men and women of both par ties, men of legitimate business. farm CTS, workingmen, ex-service men, and every day citizens, victimized by the re- publican administration through false promises, and non-performance who made possible the splendid democratic victory of Tuesday last.
 "A large share of the credit is due to the press of the country, dtmocratic and independent, and the leading republican, papers which abandoned partisanshfr for the material and moral interests of their readers, a public service and a po- Iitical service which I gratefully ack' nowledge and >of which l am highly ap- preciatiye.
 "The great swing back to democracy removes any pretext for discussing a third party movement so far as the democratic party Is concerned Tht democratic party can be relied upon tc apply sound principles and policies o governmnet to every day conditions and in so doing to enact all sound and pro. gressive ideas as it did after it came 1 into power in 1913."

Plight of the New
 England Railroads
Explained by Henry C. Att will, Chairman of the De- partment of Public Utili- ties.

Boston, Nov. S.-rhe New England raj airoad problem cannot~ be solved so long as the roads are operated by pri- rate capital unless they are made to pay, sad Henry C. NttwiIl. chairman of the department of pablc utilities, in speak ing today before special committee on New England railroad conditions.
 MT. ,Attwill said he did not favor ab- sorption of the New England coads by trunk system. He stressed the need of the roads to earn sufficient dividends to attract new capital.
 Pointing out that since the termination of the war the New England roads had nop earned their operating expenses and fixed charges. and that in 1921 there was a deficit of $22 0S0 963 Mir. :Attwill said it was hoped that with the return of nor mai business conditions the roads would be able to earn their operating expenses and fixed charges.
 The business men of'New England, in my judgment" he said, adopt a very short-sighted policy when they object to paying compensation to the railroads sufficient to cover the cost of the service furnished to them. We cannot expect to receive adequate and efficient service un- less they are made to pay. The deplcra- ble service on the railroads will cost the New England industries more than the payment of sufficient rates to make the railroads efficient.
 There is but. one solution of the New England railroad situation, if the people ! are unwilling to pay the cost of the ser vice, and that is government ownership | of the railroads of the United States | Even here we will not. escape, because tn! | government will be obliged to pay t!I' deficits in operation anu the public w:i | be called upon to pay by taxation tha ] which they refuse to pay in rates"

FEATURES OF INDIANA's
 STATEWIDE ELECTION

Indianapolis, Ind. Nov. S.-Three fea- lures tonght stand out above all else in Indiana's statewide election of yester- day. They are:.
 First, the victory of. Samuel M Ral- ston,' democrat over Albert J. Beveridge. republican, in the face of republican vic- tories generally throughoutEthe ticket.
 Second, the shattering of the solid re- publican representation in the national house of representatives from the thir- teen congressional districts with three democrats assured victories.
 Third, the continued ma !ority of the republican party in both branches of the state legislature.
 Former Governor Ralston's lead over former Senator Beveridge. continued to mount slowly as the results from the ru- ral districts were gathered.
 The elimination of Miss Esther Katf- leen O'keefe of Plymouth. democratic entry in the congressional race in the Thirteenth district, appeared certain, ac. cording to latest reports. Opposing the first woman Indiana has ever nominated as a party's choice for congress. Repre- sentative Andrew J. K Hickeys hold on the farmer vote was strong enough to lcary him to victory.

VERY LITTLE NEWS COMING

NEW YORK STATE WILL
 HAVE A DIVIDED HOUSE

New York Nov. 8.-lBy the A. P.)- Governor-elect Alfred E: Smith, swept in to office with the rest of the democratic state ticket on the cres of plurality un- precedened in state election history will have a divided -houSe-a democratic sen= ate and a republican assembly-to work with when he takes office January 1.
 The democrats will have a majority of one in the senate, 26 to 25, while the re- publicans retain control of the assembly. S2. to 6S, according to figures tonight which represented practically complete returns from all districts of the. state
 The democratic victory in the senate overturned a present market of g to II, held by the c. o. P, while in the assem- bly republicans kept a majority of only fourteen as compared with a two to one advantage in the present house-102 re. publicans to 47 democrats.
 Democrats thus reduced the total ma jority of republicans in both branches of the legislature from S1 to 13, and, in ad- dition, captured one seat from socialists in each house, depriving the latter party of any representation at Albany in the new governing body.
 Republicans had hoped to retain con- trol of both houses of the legislature out of the wreckage of power shattered by the democratic landslide, and earlier re- turns today indicated they would do so, but later compilation in several senate races swung tho tide democratic.
