DemOcrats Lead In Three Races
 Democrats are leading in tabula- tions for the three undecided Sem ate contests, the three seats having been held also by Democrats in the T0th Congress. The contests are between Herbert R. O'Conor, Dem- ocrat, and D. John Markey, Repub- lican, in Maryland; Sen. Dennis Chavez, Democrat, and former Re- publican Secretary of War Patrick J. Hurley. in New Mexico; and Sen. Harley M. Kilgore, Democrat. and Thomas Sweeney, Republican, in West Virginia.
 The undecided House contest is in Utah where Walter K. Granger, Democratic incumbent. Is opposed by David J. Wilson. Republican. wilson has 6 very slight lead and may possibly give the Republicans another new seat.
 These undetermined contests would not change the election rec suits either way. The Republicans have gained I2 Senate seats for a minimum majority of three. They zoonied from i02 in the old House .o 2t6 In the new. for a majority of go.
 Bills and vetoes are likely to fly during the next two years between those Republican majorities and the White House. The bitterest battles of the last two. years of the Wilson Administration were fought on foreign relations-on the effort Of the World War I president to take the United States into the League of Nations. 4 Republican Senate beat the League and the Treaty of Versailles.
 This time the United States has considerable measure of bi-par- tisan foreign policy. Responsible and powerful Republicans are pledged Co support 1t but there also b a strong COP element in opposition.
