Jacksonville, Nov. 8.-(Associated
Press).-A democratic recovery, but
not its full extent, was revealed in
last nights tabulations of far from
complete returns of Tuesdays gen.
eral election. On the face of these
returns the democrats had definitely
gained twenty-eight members in the
House of Representatives and lost
none.
On the Senate side, Calder comedies
his defeat by Copeland in New York,
Edwards apparently has defeated
Frelinghuysen in New Jersey, Ralston
had a comfortable lead over Bever-
idge in Indiana and in North Dakota,
O'Connor was running ahead of Fra
ser, a possible democratic gain Of
four senator's. The Ohio senatorial
race is close, but Fess apparently has
defeated Pomerene, while in Nebras-
ke Hitchcock comedies his defeat to
Howell, a democratic loss of two.
Some of the high lights as revealed
last night were:
Smiths unprecedented plurality
over Miller in the New York guberna-
torial race.
Senator Lodges close shave in
Massachusetts. He was only slightly
ahead of CASTOR, democrat.
Volstead was running behind Kvale
in Minnesota.
Carmi Thompson, President Hard
ing's candidate for governor of Ohio,
apparently has been defeated.
The Delaware senatorial race was
so close as to make it's outcome con-
jectural.
A democratic landslide in Tennessee
headed by Peale's defeat of Taylor.
Alice Robertson defeated, as were
many other women in various states.
Mrs. Winifred NJ. Huck elected to
House from Illinois at large.
In Florida the returns came in very
slowly. The school tax, extra judges
and officers salary amendments are
apparently assured of ratification on
the face of last nights returns.
Returns from only one-fifth of the
states precincts show merely close
ness in the reapportionment fight
with the trend slightly favoring rati-
fication. Of approximately 10000
scattered votes from forty-six coun-
ties, the amendment was leading by
500.
Riley showed little strength in last
nights returns and Cawthon's cleo
tion is apparently assured.
ILLINOIS VOTED A BONUS
Chicago, Nov. S.-By majorities of
more than three to one, Illinois voters
voted a $55,OOO,O0O bonus to Illinois
soldiers in the World War yesterday
and also voted in favor of a return
to light wines and beer.
SOLID SOUTH AGAIN SOLID
Atlanta, Nov. 8.-The solid South
is again a reality. Led by Tennessee
where Governor Taylor, republican
was defeated by Peay and Chairman
Hull, of the democratic national com
mittee, regained his seat in Congress
the democrats drove out the republi
cans who gained foothold two year
ago. The democrats increased thei
congressional representation from
four to eight, reducing their oppo
nents from five to two. Two republi
can candidates were without opposi
ton. The ninth congressional distric
of Virginia, republican for twenty
two years, returned a democratic con
gresham.
CAWTHON AND THREE AMEND
MENTS CARRY

turns indicate the election of Cawtho
as state superintendent of public il
struction. The fate of the reappol
tionment amendment is in doubt, wit
q slight lead in favor of ratification

ly have carried by comfortable ma
jorities.
