HARRISON SEEN
ELECTED IN
VIRGINIA

LURAY, Va, Nov. 6.-Reports
from nine Of the ten counties com
prising the Seventh Congressional
district point to Democratic VIC
tory for Representative Thomas w.
Harrison. ranging from 1880 to
8, 500, with a majority in the dis
trict for the national ticket from
!, 500 to $500.
Only two counties In the district
are assured Jacob A. CARRIER, Re-
publican nominee, and these are his
home county, Rockingham, and adj
joining county of Shenandoah. In
Greene county both Harrison and
Smith may look for very small
majority. Madison county, another
doubtful one, will give Harrison
over 100 majority.
In this county, listed since the
beginning of the campaign as the
most doubtful in the district, the
Democratic nominee will march
through with majority of at least
100, with Smiths chances of a

The action of Bishop Cannon In
attacking Smith in the eleventh

the Democratic workers are joyous

county.
Albemarle, Frederick, the cities Of
Charlottesville and Winchester,

are that the last three counties may
pile up 900 combined majority for

Republican statements coming

are said to be claiming such coun-
ties as Page, Madison and Greene
by ma jorities from ESQ tt 600, with
claims of from 1900 to 1000 in

These figures. the Democrats

LONDON, Nov. 6.--The resigna-

outlook for resignation OF the British
cabinet within the next few months

sibility OF the reshaping of the

International issues overhanging

arations problem.
2. Future negotiations for linli.
tation of naval armament.

US. AGENTS
GUARDING
POLLS

.
Several thousand Justice Departs
ment agents. including special in
vestigators. deputy United States at
torneys and marshals were scattered
throughout the country today in an
effort to prevent violation of Fed
eral election laws.
Deputies were especially instructed
to prevent intimidation Of voters
through the display of firearms at
the polls. At previous elections
complaints from many sections have
been received that voters were
frightened away from the polling
places by armed parties Of workers.
In the South it has been contended
frequently that negroes were intimi-
dated and kept from voting.
Warned to Be Neutral
Attorney General Sargent warned
all agents and deputies that their
activities must be confined exclu-
siyely to enforcement of Federal
statutes. They were informed that.
political work in the interest OF in
dividuaI candidates would be cause
for dismissal both under civil service
rules and departmental regulation.
Because of the fact that the
H0over-Smith campaign has been
one OF the bitterest since the Civil
War, with such controversial issues
as religion and prohibition injected.
the task Of authorities in maintain
ing order win be q difficult one
To the local authorities falls the
