POLITICAL WIND
IS WET AND
DEMOCRATIC

The prevailing political wind is
blowing Democratic-and wet.
Whatever doubt there had been
Of the Democrats ability to or
ganize and control the New
House of Representatives disap-
peared today with their victory
in the fifth district of New Jer-
sey. where Percy H. Stewart, a
wet Democrat, defeated Donald
Mclean. wet Republican, for the
seat left vacant by the death OF
Representative Ernest Ack ermau
Republican dry
The district is normally Repuo'
ican by some $4,000 votes. Stew
art won by about 1000.
Have Five Vote Edge
Thus the Democrats will &c
into the new Congress on Mon
day with 219 memoirs, as against
214 for the Republicans, with one
Farmer-Labor member and one
vacancy.
A recapitulation of the special
congressional elections held dur
ing the last month reveals a
strong Democratic and wet trend
There have been eight OF
these elections. The Democrats
have won four seats from the he
publicans, in addition to holding
two districts that had been rep
resented by Democrats, making
the score stand 6 to 2 in favor
of the Democrats
And of the eight elections
anti-prohibitionists have wor
seven. In two of them, the Eighth
Michigan and the Fifth New Jer
sey, victory for the vets was
marked upset, for the districts
had been represented by strong
drys.
Hoover Made Issue
The Democrats were iubilant
today over the Jersey victory
They found particular satisfac
ton in the fact that the nat1onaI
Administration, was made prom
inent issue in the campaign
almost the sole issue for both
Stewart and Mclean were wet
Stewart campaigned on a plat
form asking reputation of the
Hoover Administration and its
policies. On the other hand, NC
Lean asked the constituency tc
send him to Washington as a
mark of confidence in President
Hoover.

CHILDREN LACK
SHUTS Schools

BERLIN, Dec. 2 G.N.S).
Twenty.three elementary schools
of Berlin's city districts will be
closed, because there are no chill
dren to attend them.
AS a result of the alarming de.
crease of births in the city dur
ing the last 10 years. the genera
ton of children between 6 and II
years is almost non-existent, or
in some districts too small to fill
even one school.
One year before the World War
about 225,000 children were en-.
rolled in elementary schools. In
1881 there were only 125, 1000.
Births showed a temporary in
crease in the few years following
the war, but since then have
steadily declined. In no, year
since 1914 has there been an ex.
cess of births over deaths.
