NAME MRS. ROGERS
TO CONGRESS FROM
5TH| MASS. DIST.
Widow of Late Congressman
John Jacob Rogers Over
whelmingly Defeats Hon.
Eugene N. Foss, Former
Governor of Massachusetts,
At Special Election Tuesday
First N. E. Woman in Con-
greSS

Lowell. Mass. June 30.-(AP)-
The voters of the fifth congressional
district, at special election held to-
day, overwhelmingly elected Mrs.
Edith Nourse Rogers, Republican, to
represent them in congress. Mrs.
Rogers is the wife of the late con-
gresham from the district, Hon.
John Jacob Rogers. who !, died last
March, and she will be the first
woman from New England to sit in
congress.
Mrs. Rogers margin over Hon.
Eugene n. Foss, the Democratic
nominee, former governor or the
state, was in excess of two and a.
half to one. Her total vote was 3D.
614, as against Foss' 9251. There are
81 towns and cities in the district.
In the rural districts she piled up
impressive majorities, notwithstand-
ing the light vote that was recorded.
She readily carried the Democratic
cities of Lowell and Woburn by over
two to one. although it was in these
places that Foss made his best show
ing. In Lowell about half the reg
istered voting strength turned out.
Foss did not carry single town
In the district. The closest approach
he made to it was in Boxboro. which
Mrs. Rogers gained by a single, vote
the figures being: Foss 10, and Rog-
ers 20 Only 20 per cent. of the vot-
ers cast their ballots in Boxboro,
however
Mrs. Rogers was accorded the unit
ed support of the veterans organiza-
tions in the district. due to her serv-
ices in their behalf as the personal
representative of Presidents Harding
Harding and Coolidge in the veterans
bureau. Mr.. Foss was considered to
be handicapped by the fact that he is
not a resident of this district which
he aspired to represent in Congress.
The fifth district was always re-
garded as a Republican stronghold
during the political career of the late
Mr.. Rogers. In all elections in which
he was a candidate he ran many thou
sands of votes ahead of his opponent.
Interest in today's special election
hinged largely on whether another
candidate could develop equal
strength.
The congresswoman-elect is the
daughter of the late Franklin Nourse
of Lowell, who was prominent as a
mill agent.

FEDERAL DRY
HEAD TO ENTER
OHIO PRIMARY

Washington, June 30.-(AP)-
Roy A. Haynes, federal prohibition
commissioner for the last four years,
is expected to resign in time to enter
the race for governor of Ohio next
year.
Plans for placing tie prohibition
commiss. oner's name in the Ohio
gubernatorial primaries are to be
considered at an early conference in
Washington. While it is regarded as
almost certain that he will enter the
campaign for the Republican norni-
nation, formal announcement of his
candidacy is NOT expected at once.
Mr.. Haynes himself had no conf
ment to make tonight regarding his
future plans. He learly :niicated,
however, that positive declaration
at this time of his candidacy in
which Governor A. v. Donahey,
Democrat, is serving a second term,
would be premature.
Appointed by President Harding
as prohibition commissions June IL.
1921, to succeed John +. kramer,
Mr.. Haynes has served through a
trying period of enforcement and
has, however, survived numerous
reports in the last year or SO that
he would be retired.
Commissioner Haynes is known to
have desired to resign ss'tro. times
in the last half of his admiration
but on each occasion has beer urged
by the President to r. naic. Pres1-
dent Coolidge, it is said, evailed
upon him to keep out of the Ohio
gubernatorial fight last November.
1t is said that Mr.. Haynes expects
to remain at his present yost long

machinery being organized by AS
