''The election of Michael J.
Hart, Democrat, in the Eighth
Michigan district, makes me
doubly certain of a Demo
cratic house," Representative
John M. Garner, Democratic
candidate for Speaker, told
the United Press at his home
in Uvalde, Tex.
The elections resulted in the fol-
lowing house strength:
Democrats, 217
Republicans, 2l5.
Farmer-Labor, l.
Vacancies, 2.
Result Not Conclusive
Democrats were cheered by the
results of the scattered voting
throughout the country, despite the
fact that it was not regarded gen
orally as conclusive as to the drift
of sentiment in relation to next
years presidential race.
In New York state, Democrats
failed to get control of the assem-
bly. though they needed to gain only
six seats. They also failed, in a
hard fight, to seize the old Long
worth congressional seat in Ohio,
Republicans holding it with an
$4,000 lead for John B. Hollister.
Democrats attached Importance
to the election of former Governor
A. Harry Moore as Governor of New
jersey over David Baird Jr., Re-
publican, whose election was urged
by administration spokesmen as a
gesture of moral support for Presi-
dent Hoover. Moore won by more
than 200 900. Democrats also showed
strength in a number of municipal
elections. Kentucky elected a new
Governor, but the count will not be
known until probably late today.
Non-partiSan observers generally
believed Judge Ruby Laffoon, Demo
crat, had achieved a majority over
his Republican opponent, Mayor
William B. Harrison of Louisville
The primary issue in the campaign
was the state highway commission
which the Democratic candidate de-
Tended,
Control in Doubt
Confusion of the house situation
which has evisted since the close
results a year ago, appeared des-
tined to continue. Democrats gained
the Michigan seat through election
of Hart, the first Democrat to get
it in thirty three years. They held
two other seats in the Twentieth
Ohio, where Martin L. Sweeney, a
Cleveland attorney, wet, won easily,
and the Seventh New York
districts. Republicans retained the
First Ohio or Longworth district and
the Second Pennsylvania, where f.
L. Stokes, wet Republican. won,
34188 to 1909.
One vacancy in the Fifth New
Jersey district will be filled by spe-
ciaI election Dec. 1, one week before
congress meets. The other vacancy,
in New Hampshire. will.not be filled
until Jan. 5.
The New Jersey district went Re-
publican two to one a year ago.
Should Republicans win it again
they would have 2l6 seats as against
a Democratic strength of 217. The
Farmer-Labor member, Paul j.
Kvale, usually votes with Republic
ans on organization matters.
Should he do so again, the result
would be a tie. A majority of the
votes cast is sufficient to elect a
Speaker and to decide the commit
tee chairmanships. Illness, or alb
sence from other causes, would be
decisive in such situation.

ing screen, you state that one
of the problems will be that Of
reproducing the sound effect Of
the 'asides' for which the
O'Neill drama has become IA
nous.
''It occurs to this observer
that the mechanics of the talk
ing picture offer even greater
possibility with such dramatur-
gicaI technique than ONeill
has been able to place on the
spoken stage, in that the cam.
era and sound track will make
it possible for the lines Of the
aside to be heard without the
mind Of the character speak
ing the words.
"ThiS, it would seem to me,
could be done by an unseen
doubles voice speaking the
aside while the character In
the picture kept the lips i'm
movable.
TN q dialogue or cOlIOquy,
the facial expression denOting
deep thought or meditation by
the character would indicate
which of the two minds was
uttering the aside or else the
particular lines would suffice.
Certainly, as contrast to the
action in the spoken play, your
lips do not move when your
mind thinks, unless of course,
in the case of imbecillc indi-
SvidualS, such as title readers
in the audience at the old
silent pictures.
"The use Of an unseen double
to speak the aside could also
have a different voice from
that of the characters voice
when spoken freely, on the be-
lief that the minds voice isn't
. soprano, alto, baSSO or tenor
or what have yOu.-F. p. D."
