ABNORNAL YEAR AFFORDS SCANT HOPE TODA
PARTY OPT|MISTS ENV|S|ON
GAIN Of 81 SEATS IN HOUSE;
SENATE LOSSES FEARED

In the Senate, the lineup Is
so Democrats, IS Republicans and
a single Farm-Laborite.
Senate Situation Hopeless
Here the situation, from the
Republican standpoint. is even
more hopeless than in the House.
Thirty-four Senators are up for
election. Those in the deep South
are safely Democratic. And the
Democrats are reasonably certain
of winning Republican seats in
Maryland, New Jersey, Missouri,
Ohio and Indiana.
They have favorably regarded
chances for victory in RHODE
Island, West Virginia, and Con-
necticut. They may lose in New
Mexico and Wyoming.
In any event. barring those
same political miracles that no
one expects. the Democrats stand
to pick up from four to six
seats in the Senate, which will
insure them control Of the Upper
House until 1910.
Treaty Rule Seen
In the Seventy-fourth Congress
they will have two-thirdS of the
Senate or very close to it, there
by breaking a record of years
standing. Mr.. Roosevelt can sub
nit treaties, which must be rat
flied by two-thirds, with some
thing approaching impunity.
Incidentally, the st. Lawrence
Waterway Treaty. which failed of
two-thirds last session. is going
up again this winter.
The curtain never fell on a
stranger off-year election.

LIBEL SUIT
TRIAL SOON
International News Service

The 100000 libel suit of Gen.
Samuel T. Ansell against Senator
Huey P. Long CD Of Louisiana
may be called up for trial in the
District of Columbia Supreme
Court within three weeks.
The U. S. Supreme Court de-
MED Senator Longs claim of i'm
munity because of his senatorial
position. The feud between the
two developed when Mr.. AnSell
was counsel for a Senate commit,
tee, which investigated Louisiana
election methods.
The District Of Columbia Court
of Appeals ruled circulation Of
speeches made by Senator Long
on the Senate floor were subject
to libel suit. Before the high
court, the Senator's attorneys
urged modification of the opinion,
contending they would go to trial
with their case prejudiced. The
court made no reference to the
modification plea.
Members of Congress, the high
court said, are exempt from "ar-
rest" while attending Congress.

VICTORY
HELD LIKELY

Observers of the Maryland State
situation today predicted re,
election Of Governor Richie for
a fifth term, with the Republican
aspirant, Harry w. Nice, taking
the majority in the counties, but
the incumbent overtaking that
lead in his Observation-Disclosures
More than $4,000 voters have
registered throughout the State.
Those in close touch with the sit
uation anticipate that approx
mately 100000 ballots will be cast.
From the Democratic camp
comes the prediction that the
four-time governor will poll at
least a 10000 plurality in Balti-
more city, and will break about
even in the counties.
On the other hand. Nice sup
porters believe their candidate
will pile up a lead Of 10000 in
the counties and that if Mr..
Ritchie wins Baltimore city, it
will not be by sufficient votes to
overtake the Nice majority in the
counties.
However, it was the opinion of
those familiar with the sentiment
of the voters that the governor
will get about an even split in
the counties and would take BalEi-
more city by 10000.
Up to the last minute, both
candidates were appealing to the
electorate, Governor R itc HE

opponent was summing up his
entire attack against the Ritchie
machine.
The governor, in broadcast,
last night. said;
"The real issue in the cam
paign is whether my associates
on the Democratic ticket and
myself, or Mr.. Nice and his as
SOciates on the Republican
tickets, give the better assur-
ance Of tackling a host Of hard
questions in a way which, if not
handled Sanely and wisely, will
be pretty serious for the State,
and for YOU"

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 6 G.N.SO.
The South went to the polls in
eight States today to go through
the motions of naming four gov
errors, four Senators, full slate
of congressman and to place the
new seal of approval on the ad-
ministration of Franklin D. Roose-
welt.

and North Carolina, where tradi-

holds nestled in the mountain dis
tricts-for the real decisions on
who will occupy offices for the
next term we're made in the fall
Democratic primaries.
Florida in Spotlight
The chief interest spot Of the
South lay in Florida where
prohibition was to meet its test
and the State was to determine
the fate of Constitutional
amendment to make the English
tradition that "a mans home IS
his castle" a fact.
The homestead amendment by
which Florida would exempt all
homes up to $4,000 in value OF
all taxation crowded even the
repeal question out Of election
arguments. The proposal mas
been the storm center Of a bitter
fight.
The fate of the repeal vote
was problematical.
