ity of 16S in the house has been cut
down to approximately 1G and the
Republican majority in the senate of

In addition to these victories DEM

elected in thirteen states which had
Republican governors-New York,
New Jersey, Ohio, New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, Nebraska, Kansas, Col
orado, Oregon, Arizona, Nevada, New
Mexico and Tennessee. Twenty-six
states of the union now have Demo

all of the states.

actual control in either house. The
balance of power between the Repub-
licans and Democrats is held by pro-
gressives, independents and radicals.
1t may be assumed that the element
holding the balance of power will not
cooperate with the Republican reac-
tionaries in matters of Legislation and
it may be assumed with equal proba-
bility that the reactionaries will not
accept the progressive or radical pro-
gram of their nominal Republican col

The sixty-eighth congress promises,

20 Persons Killed
In Mine Explosios

Seventy miners were killed and %
injured, some of them seriously, In a
dust explosion in Dolomite Mine No.
of the Woodward Iron Company,
nine miles from Birmingham, Ala,
yesterday afternoon when the blast
trapped 4S0 workers beneath the sur
face, according to an official state
ment issued last night by ID. f. WI
son, treasurer of the company.
State militia gradually is assuming
charge of policing the district sur
rounding the mouth of the pit. and
last night it was stated that martial
law might be declared to avoid con
gestion about the mine owing TO ths

According to Treasurer Wilson,
many of the injured have been taken
home after receiving first aid treat
ment at the mouth of the mine, thesr
hurts only being of a minor natare.
Mr.. Wilson stated that the more
seriously injured miners had been re-
moved to a hospital at Bessamer near
the scene of the accident.
According to one of the first miners
to be taken out alive, the explosion
came with little warning. The miner
stated the first warning he had was
the concussion of the big blast. He
started to make his way toward the
mouth of the mine and was Joined by
other miners.
After they had proceeded a short
distance. shouts of other miners were
heard ahead of them, and holding
their breath as best they could, muf
fling their faces in coats and cloth
ing. they struggled onward, finally
winning their way to the fresh air
and the entry way.
These men we're among the first to
reach the outside with actual news
of the terrible situation inside the
mine. They told of passing over
bodies in the main entry and of see
ing other miners, badly injured and
moaning for help or collapsing as the
fatal afterdamp snuffed out their
lives.

KENTUCKY BAPTIST
ASSOCIATION MEETING

Rev. and Mrs. Olus Hamilton have
returned from the general association
of Kentucky Baptists, which was in
session at Middlesboro last week At
the morning service last Sunday Rev.
Hamilton gave a resume of some of
the work of the Baptists. He stated
that there are at the present time
about 100000 Baptists in the state
of Kentucky. or $4,000 more Baptists
of the Protestant denominations in
the state. He said there we're one
million lost souls in Kentucky, and
that as Baptists are more in num-
bers the responsibility of reaching
these lost ones with the Gospel, rest
ed more heavily upon them. He said
that the state board of Kentucky Bap-
lists employed 1913 workers. in whole
or in part, this last year and that
these 1913 workers reported 6,400 ad-
ditions to the churches where they
served. The emphasis. he said, in the
association was placed on spiritual
ity, which is the foundation OF all
mission work and church life. DR.. w.
W. Landrum, of Russellville, was
elected moderator and the association
voted to hold the 1928 session at Gov
ington on November 13.
