Only Doubt Is Extent of
Victory, Says Fore

(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Cordell Huh,
CHAIRMAN OF the democratic national
committee, declared tonight in a fore
cast of the senatorial and congressional
elections" that "a democratic victory is
now assured at the election of Novem-
Der -
he only question of doubt remain
lns' Chairman Hull's statement added,
is the extent of the victory Practically
contribute share Of that victory, and
every class of voters will be largely rep
resented among the victors.
Referring to reports of so-calIed
apathy among voters Mr.. Hull asserted
TINS was due to the fact that the great
mass CT voters have already made up
their minds definitely and finally" and
had decided to "rebuke the republican
party for it's failure to keep it's election
promises"
Declaring the question had been
whether republicans would stay away
from the polls ''or turn to the democra-
tic party for relief" Mr.. Hull added eff
the stay y-at-home republican vote should
be larger than anticipated by democrats
there will never the less be Il very sub
stantial democratic victory.
IF, on the other hand, the present
tendency of republicans in revolt to ac-
lively support the democratic ticket is
general as there is reason to believe it
is, the democratic party on Tue sday,
November Z, will register one of the
most sweeping victories it has had in
any election.
''At this time do not hesitate to as
sert that every indication is the demo
cratic victory will be larger than the
republican leaders on the inside really
believe their victory may be-"

later she found the girl in a remote

Probably Many of Us Know Persons
Who Closely Resemble This
Sensitive CouAn Lucy.

Cousin Lucy seldom goes any place
that she doesn't get her feelings hurt.
In fact, she spends the greater portion
of her time nursing a grievance OF
some sort or other. At the last fam
lily dinner, which has been custom
of the family for several generations,
she had the following to say over the
telephone to someone who has man
aged to keep from offending her for
several weeks.
well, you can say l am too sensi-
tive if you want to-" she said in a
voice that carried all the feeling of
an early Christian martyr, but
guess you would be- too, if someone
made remark to you like Aunt
Sophia did to me about the President
when she knew my husband worked
for his election as hard as anybody
around here. 1t was just another way
Of insinuating that Johns judgment
was poor, and I'm sure it's as good
as Uncle SamuelS OF course Aunt
Sophia says she never meant a thing
by it and that | know she always has
been a Democrat, hut then, if she
didn't mean anything, why say it to
me of all persons when she might
have known / would resent it?
John never pays any attention to
things like that and says I'm foolish
to do it, but | tell him l don't like to
have my day spoiled by wing some
one picking at me, and Pm not one. of
these two-faced people who will get
mad about something and never say a
word about it.. | don't mind being
sighted, as | frequently am, and often
suggest staying away from the family
dinners since | seem not to be badly
wanted, but mother always went and
SO I'll continue going unless / am told
to stay away. But / notice lot of
things people may not think | do. It's
got so when | move my chair over to
where some of the others are talking
they don't seem nearly so lively and
kind of quit talking. SO, of course, /
can't help believing they were talking
about me, can /? Or else they don't
want me to hear what is being said
Then, maybe. | imagine it, but it
seems to me they all look relieved
when we leave early. Not that / care,
but | can't think of a thing | have
ever done to make people dislike me
or want to ger rid of me. Well, all
right. But it seems queer to me that
someone always comes to your door
when | call you up"
And Cousin Lucy slams up the re-
ceiver with a new grievance to nurse.

That girls are Drawer than boys is
the observation made by DR.. Edward

Boy Scouts association. DR.. Bigelow
includes in his category girls from
ten to fifteen "At that age" he says,
"they acquire the fears and incon-
sistencies of women. Girls are not
only Drawer than boys, but they are
the bravest of the four-namely, men,
boys, women and girls. The girl is
much franker than the boy; in fact,
says DR.. Bigelow, no one in the world
is as frank as the girl between ten
and fifteen. She says exactly what she
thinks. The boy, on the other hand.
rarely does. But the girls frankness
and bravery do not last. According
