Hopes Soar on Returns Giving Party 5000 Ma
 jority in Run-off

SEDALIA, Mo. Sept. 30.-Hopes of the Democratic party for control of the House of Representatives of the next Congress scared today as result of the returns from the Special Congressional election held yesterday in the Seventh Missouri Congressional District.
 Robert D. Johnson, 47-year old
 Democrat, won a one-sided victory over former Representative John w. Palmer. His majority was in excess of 5000 votes. This victory gives the Democrats PA seats in the next House, and the Republi- cans have the same number. Six other special elections are to be held in various states this fall to fill vacancies caused by death since last November.
 The topheavy vote for Johnson yesterday is regarded as a signal triumph for the Democratic party. Although the district is normally Democratic, it has occasionally elected Republican candidates, and the Democratic majorities have ranged between 1,500 and $500 as compared to 5000 given Johnson
 Both party organizations made vigorous campaigns all over the district. Each attached considerable e. Democrats now claim presages vic- tories in most If not all of the six special elections yet to be held before Congress convenes in Mo- xray,,Ior
