porter in the 1882 presidential
campaign and the Republican can
didate, John B. Chapple.
Copeland's Big Lead
Outside of these the Democratic
slate seems to be as clean as a
whistle.
In Utah, Senator William H.
King, chairman Of the District
committee, was piling up the votes
over the former member Of Con-
gress, Don B. Cotton.
With the exception of Senator
Kean (R) of New Jersey, who
apparently has been unseated by
Gov. Harry A. Moore. the Dis
trict committee will remain un-
changed.
Senator Royal Copeland, who
received a late support from the
President, was the first Senator
to have the election conceded to
him. He rolled up an enormous
plurality over Harold Cluett, up
State Arrow collar" manufac-
turer. The other member of this
committee was the victorious Re
publican, Senator Austin of Yer
mont
The upset that broke the
stoutest Republican hearts was
the increasing lead of Joseph F.
Guffey, warm friend of President
Roosevelt's over Senator David A.
Reed, Republican.
This fight was accompanied by
occasional shootings at the polls
and was as tight and vicious a
battle as has been fought in
years.
Radcliffe Ahead
In Maryland. George L. Rad.
cliffe, doctor, author, teacher and
business man, rolled up lead on
former Senator Joseph I. France
from the beginning and was keep
ing it steadily, with a comfortable
majority.
In Virginia, Senator Harry Flood
Byrd, the well-beloved Demo-
cratic, incumbent, defeated Law"
renee Page, Norfolk Republican,
early last evening. This was the
second State, New York being the
first. to concede victory.
In Missouri, Harry S. Truman,
presiding judge, had tramped the
Republican incumbent Roscoe c.
Patterson under foot to the tune
Of two to one plurality.
Senator Key Pittman, Demo-
crat Of Nevada, and chairman of
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee. in spite of prediction
Republican boasts to the con-
trary, was continuing to increase
an already generous lead over
George w. Malone, civil engineer,
author and boxer.
In Michigan, the Republicans
were still hanging on by their
teeth. With $500 out of the
States 3,447 precincts accounted
for early this morning, Senator
Arthur H. Vandenberg, Repu5li-
can, and one of the bright presi-
dental comets of the G. o. P,
had a lead over Frank Picard,
Democrat, of 23,742 votes. This
was later diminished to a little
over 1900 and late reports give
Vandenberg the victory.
Old Republican Standbys who
went crashing to defeat were
Senator Simeon Tess of Ohio,
who lost to Honest Vic" Don
ahey; the irrepressible Arthur
Robinson, Senator for Indiana,
who lost to Sherman Minton,
lawyer, and like Robinson, a
friend of the veterans: Senator
Hebert of Rhode Island was de-
feated by Peter G. Gerry, former
Senator, and Senator Henry Hat
field of West Virginia, who fell
before the onslaught of 29-year-
old Rush Holt, labor enthusiast.
Cutting Deserted
Senator Bronson Cutting, Pro-
gressive-Republican, of New Mex
leo was hoist with his own petard.
Just as he deserted the Republi-
cans in 1882, so the Democrats
deserted him in 1884 and Dennis
D. Chavez, Democratic Congress-
man defeated him.
In California, Connecticut, Flor
ida, Mississippi. Montana. Nebras.
ka, Tennessee, Texas, Washington
and Wyoming. Democratic MAORI
ties came steaming in.
Late bulletins: Governor
Donahey, Democrat, has defeated
ex-senator Simeon FeSS by a
probable majority of 100000. The
veteran Republican, who is 70
years old and had served % con-
secutive years in both branches of
Congress, is taking his loss
bravely. Now the Buckeye State
will have two Democratic Sena-
tors, Donahey and Robert j.
Buckley.
Progressive Senator Bob La Fol
lette was reelected by a smashing
majority. Senator VRndenberg,
Republican, of Michigan's lead
has shrunk to 10000. while Rush
Holt. of West Virginia, Is leading
Senator Hatfield by over 10000
votes.
