RACE FOR CONTROL OF HOUSE
CLOSEST SINCE WAR DAYS.

Washington, Nov, 8.-The country
today watched with intense interest
the nip and tuck race for control Of
the house of representatives, the
closest since the war aays of 1916. It
saw most of the Republican leaders
stand up against the onslaught; it
saw scores of men brought in by the
Republican wave two years ago, 60
out with the Democratic undertow.
Volstead, author ofthe prohibition
enforcement law was the only Re-
publican committee chairman to go
down, but he fell before an indepen-
dent minister-candidate, self pro-
claimed dryer than himself. This fact
often was overlooked by those who
professed to see in the defeat of Vol
stead a punishment for the dry law.
While they had been expected to
take big hand in the election, the
women in the country were unable to
elect one of their numbr in tn hi
ter skelter race for seats. There will
be no woman in the next congress.
Alice Robertson, of Oklahoma, will
go out then, along with Winnifred
Mason Huck, of Illinois, elected. yes
terday to fill the term of her father,
the late William E. Mason, expiring
next March.

THE BIG RALLY LAST SATUR-
DAY.

The "Home Day" rally last Sat-
urday, in honor of Geo. G. Poery,
Democratic candidate for Congress,
was u surprising success in every
way. The town was crowded with peo-
pie from everywhere, variously esti-
mated from thirty-fve hundred to five
thousand. Governor Trinkle, Mr..
Flanagan and Geo. G. Peery, ad-
dress "an acre Of people" in the
court yard. The Wise county band
from Norton, led by Professor Kits,
1t was great occasion.
The Feed.
After the speaking the vast crowd
was served with splendid lunch. The
good women Of the town were in
charge, and never was anything of
the kind more splendidly managed.
Ham and beef sandwiches, fruits
coffee, and barrels af Was-cott Ale
were generously passed out, and to
make the banquet complete, cigars
were passed around. 1t was q great
time, rejecting the highest credit up
on the people who got up the feast,
(and on such short notice, too, and
also highly complimentary to Taze-
wells honorable citizen, George G.
Peery, and forshadowed the splendid
victory achieved last Tuesday.
Big Bonfire Wednesday Night.
In celebration Of Mr.. Peery's cleo
ton, the boys put off big one on
Wednesday night on the high ridge
back Of j. w. Chapman's and George
w. Gillespie's property.
The brush on the hill were cut and
piled in small heaps during the sum-
mer, and were perfectly dry and
ready to burn. The boys took advant-
age of the situation, and set these
brush piles on fire. There were hun
dreds of people gathered around, and
the illumination was seen for miles.

that has the drawback of commencing
somewhat too slowly. The Dreamy Kid"
by Eugene O'Neill, is another play of espe-
cial inertia piece of work very much in
Mr.. O'Neill's usual vein, somber and sordid,
intensely dramatic with a leaning toward
tragedy, vividly realistic and graphically
real. As for the remaining selections. the
least that can be said is that they differ
widely in value some. such as ''Tickless
Time" by Susan Glaspell and George Cram
Cook, appear too trivial and too absurd
for inclusion in the collection, while others,
such Thursday Evening" by Chris
topher Morley, are interesting and well
written, although not particularly signifi-
cant comedies of domestic life
Carolina Folk-Plays," a collection of five
short dramas in dialect, is another volume
composed exclusively of the works of
Americans. In these little plays we are
treated to vivid glimpses of the Carolina
mountains, of moonshiners and outlaws of
suspected revenue officers and of wretched
tenant farmers, of village storekeepers and
of weird backwoods atmosphere of super
stition. Typical of the collection is THE
Last of the Lowries," by Paul Greene, an
impressive but grewsome play in which
We see an old woman mourning the last
of her sons, outlawed and shot down one
after the other. until in the end she has
only their blood stained garments to re-
member them by. In "Off Nags Head" by
Dougald Macmillan, we have the lurid and
somewhat melodramatic story of a woman
shipwrecled years before, and insanely
grieving for her drowned child.
Turning to Montrose J. Moses's Repre-
sentative One Act Plays by Continental
Authors" we will find a collection contain
ing much excellent work, but work dis
tinctly below the best British and Ameri-
can standard, perhaps because of the loss
