DEMOCRAT HOPES
RAISED FOR 1928
Shaver and 0IdfieId Express
Qualification Over Results
of Election.
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Qualification over the election re.
suits was expressed in statements is
sued last night by Chairman Shaver
or the Democratic national committee
and Chairman Oldfield of the Demo
cratic congressional campaign com
mittee. Both saw in the figures a
trend toward the Democratic ranks
which. they said, augurs well for the
party's hopes in 1928.
The results confirm our pre-elec
ton estimate and are very gratifying
indeed" said Mr.. Shaver. Though II
appears a majority of the Congress
was not quite won, the gains signify
a victorious advance for the Demo.
cratic party and a momentous setback
for the Republican party and admin.
1stration.
Pleased by State Gains.
I'm addition to the congressional
substantial gains were made in State
and local tickets. Even where our
candidates did not win, they. in many
States and districts, cut oninously
into the usual Republican majorities.
The swing from Republican to Demo
cratic voting is marked clear to the
Pacific, and the trend is certainly en-.
coura ging for 1928.
with popular favor and confidence
in our party SO manifest, 1t is a good
time now for Democrats to survey
carefully the whole situation; to
weigh the opportunities of service for
their party and country--a good time
to keep cool and thoughtful heads.
Let us maintain and continue the
fine cooperation and morale of the
campaign just closed. So we shall pre-
serve the unity and power that COM
mand national confidence and win ma
tional elections"
Mr.. Oldfield said his returns showed
that the Democrats had gained II
seats in the House. He listed the
gains as 3 in New York, in Penn
sylvania, in Illinois, in Missouri
and l each in New Jersey Maryland,
West Virginia, Ohio, Nebraska and
Oklahoma. One district in Kansas
probably is lost, but the Democrats
may pick up another in that State
to offset it. he added.
Indiana Not Included.
These calculations, he explained, do
not include Indiana, where reports
indicate Democratic gains of from
two to four districts" and additional
probable gains in Pennsylvania and
West Virginia.
"It appears certain the Democratic
membership in the next House will be
increased to not less than 200" the
statement continued. Even though
we have not elected a majority of
the House, it is significant that, in
addition to holding almost every seat
we have in the present House, we
have overturned close to 20 seats, de-
spite huge expenditures by the Re-
publican organizations. It is an un-
mistakable sign Of the country wide
trend to the Democratic party and it's
principles"

London Papers Say.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, November Ain the alb

popular interest here, the newspapers
today do not give extraordinary
prominence to the American elections.
The larger papers. however, print de-
tailed dispatches of the situation.
The attitude of the electors on the
question of prohibition is given chief
attention by some of the newspapers.
which describe the balloting as Il wet
victory" and "resenting against pro-
hibition.'
The Daily Chronicle, noting the
"wet tendency" in some States. says
it does not assume that the entire
country is moving in this direction.
1.-THE real contest on prohibition" de-
clares the newspaper, sis yet to come:
but that it will come soon Is certain.
1.-THE vets have won one round of
their fight" says the Daily Express
'but it will require many more
rounds before they can say they have
achieved their purpose"
The Daily Herald. organ OF labor,
says the verdict at the polls is "a z
mark of interrogation against he
myth Of nationwide prosperity. IT
would seem," this newspaper con-
tinues, that America has not under
capitalism discovered the secret OF
high wages and permanent pros
perity.'

A Beautiful Fight
(Boston Post)

(Boston Post
The approach to the end or the
baseball season furnishes the most
exciting contest for several years. IL
is, in fact. a beautiful fight, and as
millions of people in these United
States have fondness for the great
game as we'll as for close and stir
ring struggle about almost anything,
the present situation in the Ma
tional League is of absorbing inter
est.
The st. Louis, Cincinnati and
Pittsburg teams are so closely
punched that a single days games
can shift their order entirely and
vet leave them so near to one an
other that the next days results could
alter the alignment all over again.
If the September standing could
have been made to order in advance
it could not have been fixed in more
beautiful style for the club owners.
Yet. it is entirely genuine and the
result of honest playing; that is one
of the great virtues of big base
ball.
On the American League side the
fight is not so much battle-royal
Yet. the New York outfit is not so
securely on top that it cannot be
ousted by Cleveland. However, IL is

with the national game this fall.
