throughout the nation in the elec-

New legislative leaders,, possibly
new cabinet members and new dom

But instead of destroying the self
designed Progressive movement"
of La Toilette it will only serve to
draw its lines more clearly and his
groups will endeavor to set them
selves up as the opposition party"
TO the administration in the hope
that four years from nov. they will
solidify most of the opposition to
the Republicans.
The new movement that polls five

Then in Minnesota, Senator Mag

In the house .the same trend was

With the returns practically all

This is clear gain of three seats

TWO ADHERENTS
OF LA TOILETTE
MAY Be VICTORS
Close Race in BroOkhart
and Johnson
Elections
BY PAUL r. MALLON
UNITED Press Staff. Correspondeut)

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Rising up
from the crushing influence of the
Coolidge wave, two La Toilette ad-
herents this afternoon made stir
ring bid for their seats in the senate
which along with the house of re-
representatives. had given the Presi-
dent II working majority of his own
representation.
Senator Smith w. Brookhart, right
hand man for La Toilette i'll the
senate, forced 430 votes ahead Of his
opponent in the unofficial count Of
Iowa after his managers had con
ceded his defeat.
Senator Mangus johnson, Farmer
Labor and La Toilette adherent,
climbed unexpectedly to challenge
the claimed victory of Thomas
Schall, an administration Republi-
can running for Johnson s seat from
Minnesota.
Again in New Mexico the admin
istration seemed in danger of losing
Senator Bursum s seat to a Demo
crat. 'Bursum was running, at
latest feports 5000 votes/behind.
Power Weakened
But even if these close races were
decided in La Follette's favor his
present "balance of power will
be so weakened. The Republican
gains in Massachusetts, Colorado,
oklahoma and Kentucky gave them
control of the upper cham
Der and if the La Toilette adherents
are successful in the races apparent
~ undetermined, it can only bolster
his decidedly weakened strength.
The gain of these four seats make
II difference of eight votes i'll the
the Republicans gaining
the four votes the Democrats lose. !
La Follette's maximum strength
