the figure at double that amount when
he returned on the lie de France from

peared there were great possibilities OF
carrying this State In the Republican
column.

be expended In behalf of carrying the
State for President Hoover, which I
did"
Frelinghuysen said that he did not

A. Ennis, the present controller was

George B. Fraser, one OF the vice
presidents
Mr.. fraser pointed out today that
from this paragraph 1t might be as
sumed that dropped from his position"
meant dropped from his position as a
vice president. treasurer and director
OF the local gas company. That would
be an erroneous assumption.
The transcript Of testimony on this
point reads as follows:
sition in the company at the time this
chart was made?
"Answer-Vice president and treas
silrer, in charge OF accounting.
"Question--In charge Of the account
ing?

tive. never approved that chart

to you and you were told that 1t was
going to be approved.
mfr. Dean-He wants to know what
your recollection was.
"Answer--It did not leave him in
charge of the department.
"Question--What did it do with Mr.
Fraser?

"Question-In charge of what depart
ment?
"Answer-No particular departments,

Mr.. Fraser explains that he was and
still is vice president and treasurer and
director Of the washington Gas Light
Co.; that the chart referred to re-
organization OF the accounting depart
inent now under his supervision, but
not to his displacement from the Wash
ington Gas Light Co., which could be
done only by the vote Of the stockhold-
ers who elected him.

returns from yesterdays special election
In the seventh Missouri congressional
district showed an overwhelming victory
for Robert D. johnson.
johnson, a Marshall attorney, known
In Missouri as fighting Democrat, "
won from his Republican opponent,
former Representative John w. Palmer
OF Sedalia, by approximately 5000 votes.
Johnson's victory gave the Democrats

as held by the Republicans. One seat

Labor party.

johnson and Palmer had the approval
Of the Anti-Saloon League and the
Women's Christian Temperance Union.
Death Made Vacancy.
The special election was made neces-
sary by the recent death OF Represent
alive Samuel c. Major, Democrat, OF
Fayette.
Democratic leaders of the state and
Nation today hailed Johnson's decisive
victory as an indication of the trend Of
six other special elections to fill House
vacancies, all of which will have been
held by the night of November and in
the general election of 1892.
While the district is normally Demo-
cratic by 1900 to $500 votes, Johnson's
triumph was more top-heavy than even
his most optimistic supporters had pre-
dicted.
Wins Five Of Seven Elections.
In the last seven regular congress
sional elections in the district, Major
won five times, losing to Roscoe G. Pat
terson of Springfield, in the Harding
landslide in 1920 and to Palmer IN the
Hoover landslide in 1928. In 1928 Pal
mer defeated Major by 6,4S5 votes, while
Major won from Palmer two years later
by 2,579.
Missouri Democratic leaders said they
regarded the decisiveness OF Johnson's
victory as partly due to Palmer'B de-
tense of the Hoover administration, the
Federal Farm Board and the tariff
With present economic conditions also
playing a major part. Throughout the
campaign, Johnson assailed the Farm
, Board and the tariff.
johnson, AZ years old, has never been
defeated for any Office ne sought. He
served two terms as circuit clerk of
Saline County and two Terms as prose-
| cutting attorney.
Dry Triumph Lauded.
CARTHAGE, Mo-, September 80 up.
Mrs. nellie @. Burger, president OF
the Missouri women's Christian Tenn
perance Union, said today the victory
of Robert D. johnson, dry Democratic
nominee, in the seventh Missouri dis
trict congressional race, was "a well
merited rebuke for the vets and their
candidate"
ut should serve as mandate to the
National Democratic Convention to
give us a dry plank in the party plat
form and a dry presidential candidate, -
she said.
