GAIN FOR DEMOCRATS
+*
REPUBLICAN MAJORITY TO BE
SHARPLY REDUCED IN NEXT
CONGRESS.?ONLY SOCIALIST
OUT WITH DEMOCRATS IN.
SMITH GETS BIG VOTE.
New York, Nov. 8.?At 2 A. M.
Eastern standard time the trend of
the returns in th? election for the
United /State senate and the house
of representatives was in favor of 1
the Democrats. With returns for i
nsare than half of the house com- 1
pl^te, the Republicans had not un- <
seated a Democratic representative i
and Democratic candidates had de- j
fitted more than 25 Republicans, i
To gain control of the house, how- i
ever, the Democrats must .gain i
nearly 80 seats. i
The senate returns at that hour <
V i>
showed definitely and Democratic 1
gain by the defeat of Senator Calder
ill New York. That, however, was ]
offset br a Republican gain of one j
in Nebraska, where R. B. Howell <
had defeated Senator Hitchcock. j t
At 2 o'clock th? congressional re- fc
turns were complete from only 11 i
'states. t
Miss Alice Robertson, Republican fc
of the Second Oklahoma district the n
oiuy woman in congress ana tne sw- c
on4 of her sex to hold a seat in the
house of representative, was beaten a
-by her Democratic opponent, W. W. g
Hastings, the imale candidate she de- a
fdated two years ago. A half dozen t'
-other women running in various
states on various tickets also ware n
beaten. si
The house of Representative bow- w
ever, despite the defeat of Miss Rob n
ertson of Oklahoma will hav& a wo- t<
man member. She is Mrs. Winnifred t*
M. Suck Republican, danghter of ^
the late William B. Mason, who serv- ^
ed in both senate and house from ji
Illinois, elected a representative at e,
large from Illinois. In the it
same state, Uncle Jo? Cannon's dis- f(
trict remains in the Republican v,
column with election of Willian P. a;
Haladay, a Republican. r,
Nenv York, Nov. 7.?Former Gov.
Alfred E. Smith rolling up the great ,tj
est plurality New York city has ever sj
guren any candidate in any election, U;
today was swept back into the gubc-rnatorial
chair, from which he had &
been ejected in 1920 by Gov Nathan ^
L. Miller.
Republicans not only admitted c]
the defeat of Mr. Miller but conced- gj
ed that William M. Calder had lost
his seat in the senate to Royal S. ,p7
Copo'and, health commissioner of p(
New York City, formerly mayor of gi
A*n Arber, Mich., and until today a]
an untested factor in New York polities.
With the success of their ticket o
leaders, Democrats were claiming
jraina in congress and the legisilatuire,
but the Republicans maintained
stoutly that their majorities in to

ANSWERS READY
FAR PRESIDENT
many suggestions as to allied
debt?man has plan
but wishes to know more
details of prize?one is
holding back.
Washington/ Nov. 7*?Suggestions
for setting the question of the
allied wartime indebtedness to the
United Statea have been .pouring into
the treasury since President Hard
ing recently expressed a willingness
K/\ HTO?TV1 ? .TKriTo 4Vwr onv rvrnffioAl
concrete suggestion for its collection.
The president, it was explained
at the White House at the time, considered
interesting suggestions by
numerous individual^ that the debt
should be collected but he had' found
i unanimous disinclination to make
:oncrete proposalg aa- to how colection
was ito bo accomplished.
. e*'
Evidently, it was considered by
ugh officials of the treasury today
nany persons and taken the report
wr of a prize by the president litrrally
and daily suggestion^ as to
tow the the various foreign' debts
aight be liquidated are reaching the
reasury. .One man wrote that he
tad a plan but wished to know
lore . concerning the prize before
te had made known its details.
However according to high officials,
none of the debt liquidation sug
estion &o far received have offered
nything of constructive nature for
he solution of the problem.
The foreign debt funding comlission,
it was said, is making a
tudy of the economic conditions
ithin the varifous foreign debtor
ations in the light of their ability
j meet their wartime obligations
? +>iTa / nnn.+.r-v Ac n rACTilt. of this
tudy, it wag indicated, the commis
ion would be in a position to know
jst what might be expected from
ach debtor nation and determine
;s policy with respect to pressing
or payment or waiting for the deelopment
of better circumstances
s the individual casco might warent.
.
In the study of economic condions,
the commission is giving conderable
attention to the gold sitation
and the foreign trade posit-1
m of the various nations is having
jnside?rable weightin the deterlination
of their ability to pay.
As yet high treasury officials deared,
no consideration has been
iven to the suggestion from aroad,
that the United States be reresented
in some form at the pro \cofJ
Rrncenlc ,
der economic questions and inter- 1
lied indebtedness. i

BUSINESS TREND

CAR LOADINGS DURING WEEK
ALMOST REACH HIGHEST
PEAK?PRICE OF FARM PRODUCTS
MOVES UPWARD?COTTON
PASSES 25 CENTS
New York, Nov. 7.?'Practically
all the available iavpices of business
activity point to a continuation, as
during the past week of the tendency
toward revival. Car leadings
for the week ended October 21, totalled
1,004,000 cars, almost equaling
the greatest performance in the
country's history during the fall of
1921 when t)ie hdgh record of 1,109,060
cars were made>
In addition, it ig pointed out -in
financial circles that the latest
Loading returns sh^xw an unprecedented
movement of general merchandise.
Coal shipements have contributed
to recent gains a pi}>ducti<on
of 10,400,000 tong of bdtuminrtll
m O Lr Vv ni n r#
Nevertheless, the grain in the mpvement
of the other kinds of freight
has been even greater and has
beaten all records.
Autiomobil^ ptrj vdixcrtiotls also remain1,
remarkably good. October's
total exceeded Septembers by approximately
20 per cent. Reports
from the .textile districts also are
favorable the mills finding that recent
advances in price have not
had a dive<rse effect on demand.
Even the main order houses which
are dependent largely on faaro purchasing
power show ccicouraging
gains during October as q>mpared
with, a year ago, the two chief companies
reporting increasec of abput
15 and 35 per cent respectively.
That farmprs' lrvnrr'hfl<iirnr ruvror.-r
should he measurably increased is
indicated by recent gains in the
prices of farm' products. Decernber
wheat nose during the past)
week to over $1.17 a bushel, which
is approximately 20 poA- cent* above
the recent low, and the same delivery
of cotton finally amounted to
above 25 cents a pound. The latter
price is th? best since the great
break of 1920, and is well over
twice the low price of last year.

Disposed of

Harding expects to issue a ca
Thursday or Friday for a special se;
sion of congress convening Noveir
ber 20, it was announced today a
the white house.
It was said that although th
president was not irrevocably conn
xnitted to the proposal for the specif
session which has generally bee
expected by congressional leaden
only an eleventh hour change o
mind would prevent him from issu
ing the call,
Thf plan for a special session ha
received the endorsement of senat
and house leaders. It is understood
the president feels by meeting a
least two weeks in advance of th
regular legislative program can b
so advanced as to enable congress t<
clean up its slate by the time th<
regular session ends next March 4
The feeling > among administratis
officials has been that unless an ear
lier start is made than would be pos
sible with congress meeting the firs
Monday in December, an extra ses
sion undoubtedly would be necessary
after next March 4.
Although the program for the spe
cial session has not been worked on
definitely it briefly provides for con
sideration by the house of the mer
chant marine bill and work by th<
senate on the Dyer anti-lynching bil
which has already passed .the house
Administration leaders hope thest
^Iwo measures can be disposed of bj
the time the regular session convenes,
and house leaders have assured
the president that by that time

been finished. (

has been called to meet Friday

to begin its work.

doubted that the other interested

There is every desire, however, to
