SpeciaI Dispatch 10 THE New YORK HERALD.

tonight indicate that the entire Repub-

every Republican Congressman is re-
elected and that Smith w. Brookhart OF
Washington, Ia, Republican nominee
for United States Senator, will easily
carry the State over his opponent, Clyde
w. Herring, Democrat who claimed the
support of many conservative Repub-
lcans.
The first half dozen precincts in Des
Moines, Herrings home city, gave
Brookhart a to 1 lead over Herring In
the only district where the congressional
contest has been much in doubt. In the
Seventh district, which includes Des
Moines and Polk county. Cassius G.

Republican candidate, was running we'll
ahead of his Democratic opponent. Wini-

large vote IN the county around Des
Moines and In outlying counties of the
Seventh district. L. ]. Dickinson OF AL
gona, Republican. and leader of the
farm bloc In the House, was running
well ahead In the Tenth district In early
returns. The vote in Iowa was light,
about 80 per cent. of normal being
polled. In spite of the small vote. par
ticularly in rural sections, the first re-
turns showed that Brookhart would
probably poll a large enough farmer

intention of placing men within the polls.
We are here to see that the election Is
carried out in an orderly manner. When
any report of intimidation or bribery of
a voter Is called to our attention we will
proceed to act. The advance publicity
of our proposal to see that an orderly

sired effect"
