These are: Rep. william w. Rucker
Of the Second, and Rep. Harry b.
Hawcs Of the Eleventh district. No

Cops Expect to Lose
The Rcpubli, ans themselves expect
60 lose heavily among their House
to believe this may be counterbalanc-

back, telling Of the division alleged to
exist among the Democrats. Natur-
ally, these reports have lost nothing
i'm the telling Tut the sagacious ones
among the Republicans give them
very llttle crcdenCe 1t is pointed out
that however much opposition to
Senator Reed there may have been
among old line Democrats in his state
immediatolySa his successful fight
against the League of Nations that
time must have sortcned this raucor

Senator Reed retired from the senate.
No more independent man occupies a
seat in that body today than he and
scarcely a da! passes but that with
his shafts of TidIruie or irony he
purctures some pet measure Of an ad-
ministration senator.
